A 22-year-old woman was supposed to be spending this whole week with her 25-year-old sister and her 39-year-old husband.
She really does not like her brother-in-law because he’s very snobby and loves to act like other people are less than him.
Although she recognizes his terrible behavior, the rest of her family just looks the other way because he’s quite wealthy.
Her brother-in-law has been rude to her previously, but she always tried to take the high road and stay silent because her family adores him.
“Anyway, I was hanging out by the pool when he came and started talking to me,” she explained. “It was fine until he asked if I’m in a relationship and I said no.”
“Then he said that I should seriously consider marriage and “settle down” while I’m in my “prime”. I was already shocked but he continued to say that women have the most value when they’re young and that I should date older men who can provide for me.”
He also told her to get with an older guy so she could “let him put some babies” in her.
“He literally pointed at my body and said that it will “all go downhill” in 5-6 years so I should find someone of high status while I’m “young and fresh”. So at this point, I was furious.”
She told him to get out of her personal life and reminded him she would never date or marry a man older than her.

“I told him that he makes old man noises when he gets up from a chair and should worry about not seriously hurting his back soon,” she said, before insisting she never liked him and he should leave her be.
Her sister came out of the house just as she was giving her brother-in-law an earful. Her sister immediately became upset with her and screamed at her that she owed him an apology ASAP.
Even though she tried to outline for her sister all of the awful things her brother-in-law had just spewed to her, her sister completely ignored that and continued to insist that she needed to apologize.
As all of this was going on, her brother-in-law was just standing there laughing about it. Her sister said that she needed to pack her bags, leave their home, and consider her words.
She wasted no time packing and getting out of there. Her sister ended up filling her whole family in on what happened, and they all have turned against her.
The entire family is saying she needs to apologize and stop rocking the boat. They also said she was rude and she should feel guilty for acting like that because she needs to just accept how he is.
Her mom is really trying to force her to do or say anything to repair the damage.
“My sis gave me this long speech on how I disrespected her marriage and home and that she’s more mature blah blah,” she continued.
“She said that she cannot trust me to behave around her husband and that I need to take the first step by saying sorry.”
“She keeps ranting that I disrespected her in her house while she was nothing but nice and welcoming.”
Here’s what the internet had to say to her.
“Let your sister know that she’s got 3-4 more years before her looks go downhill according to BIL’s logic.”
“It almost sounds like he was trying to set up moving on from your sister to you… 25 must be too old for him.”
“Your BIL is a predator. He picked your sister because she was young enough to fall for his crap. He will probably dump her in a few years and find another 20-year-old to groom. Toxic af and your family is horrible.”
“Just hold out until your sister discovers his affair with someone your age and help her choose the divorce lawyer.”
“Honestly? I find his expressing appreciation for your body and youth – his SIL – pretty creepy. Cause despite it being framed as criticism, it’s definitely interest.”
“And that’s something a decent BIL would keep under wraps, not get his jollies while coaching it in plausible deniability.”
“Dude is 39 and his wife is 25, I never expect a decent dude with age gaps like that.”
