Perhaps it makes you not want to take them seriously but tone/messenger do not convey validity or nonvalidity on a point. Team other PP |
In case you were wondering why I called you a shit person, that's why!!!!! And I similarly don't care what you think. I care about labels and facts. You don't have a grasp on either. Have a good day. |
NP. Based on your post above: The transition from living with the parents to living with your boyfriend would, just by itself, be difficult enough for the brother. Imagine adding you, a stranger to him, into that mix, and his adjustment could end up incredibly difficult for everyone involved. Just, no. Also: This jumps out at me: "He requires supervision due to poor decision making." Hard no on living in the same household. Especially if kids are at all something you want, OP. Has your boyfriend really thought this through on EVERY level, I wonder? What happens if your boyfriend dies before his parents do--where does brother go when the parents die? What if parents die, brother lives with your boyfriend, and then boyfriend dies before brother does--where does bro go then? Has no one, either parents or boyfriend, ever looked into some form of care for the brother other than in a family home? Yes, expensive, but frankly it's crazy if the family has zero plans for what to do with brother if parents AND sibling cannot be there to provide his home. Your boyfriend's time would be better spent right now figuring out a plan for brother that kicks in when the parents die. BUT, OP, I am NOT saying that with any meaning that you should stay with boyfriend and hope brother doesn't live with you. No, no, no. I'm only saying: This whole family seems not to have planned concretely for the possibilities like deaths in the family, or getting the brother into any social services that could help him (and them). I would not become part of this mess at all. Tell boyfriend now that your priorities and his do not mesh. Get out ASAP so that you and he can both move on. If boyfriend tries to convince you he'll find some other option for his brother....I would not trust it. Boyfriend has clearly been planning on this forever and I would not trust any statements that you get priority. You just won't. I'm so sorry, OP. |
He could be a charismatic easy going guy I enjoy spending time with a clean record full of doing good in the world.
I still wouldn't want to plan on living my life with another adult that is not my significant other. Nevermind the man's issues, do you want to have a permanent roommate? |
Why is a 14 year old "accusing" this man if it was consensual? You are assuming she wasn't just straight up raped. Your oversimplification of some sort of star crossed lovers who just happened to be a minor and an adult is not helping. |
I dont think not wanting to support a sex offender makes anyone a shit person, but you do you boo! Plenty of sex offenders out there for you I'm sure. |
I am the PP. I am sorry for your situation. It points to the fact that these scenarios are extremely nuanced and very difficult to paint with a broad brush. Many times these relationships are consensual. But also there are plenty of times where they are not and that is why it is against the law. I am not at all talking about the goodness or badness of statutory rape. I think those crimes are basically impossible to broadly discuss and that by their very nature are complex and must be examined on an individual basis. I was in a relationship with a 33 year old when I was 18 and feel similarly about that experience being unpleasant and like that man did many wrong things. Not illegal by one year but just to say I do understand that relationships with power imbalances are not good. For OP, this is a question of whether this behavior would be replicated towards her or any children she might have, and the specific details matter a lot when trying to extrapolate to her situation. |
I will thanks. Read the part I bolded for you though. Don't pretend you didn't see it. That is completely separate from any possible sex offender allegations. Apparently you would never, under any circumstances support any family member, boo. So yes, in my book you're not a good person. |
Yikes, it all makes sense now. Abuse begets abuse. |
You don't want autist babies. Dump him. |
I'm married to someone that comes from a culture of supporting elders, and I made it very clear that I wasn't down for that. I won't apologize for putting my husband and children before parents or siblings. I refuse to be a doormat and enjoy my peaceful life with boundaries in place. |
I would have 10 AUTISTIC babies before I would ever want to bring someone like you into the world. |
We have no idea if the 14 year old is accusing. It could be a parent, it could be a teacher, it could have been discovered in a way that a third party reported it. None of which makes the relationship ok. It just means different things for OP's calculus. I am simply saying the details matter and you are rejecting that premise are you refuse to entertain the possibility that there are shades of grey here. And that is the difference between this and p*dophilia of course. There are NO shades of grey when it comes to a se*ual relationship with a young child. Zero. |
HAHAHAHAHAHA is that what you're doing????? Because you totally don't come across as a selfish dick to me. I hope your children treat you the way you've been treating your family one day and "out their children first." ![]() ![]() |
Thank you! Some of the PPs are completely incapable of nuance and thinking about things rationally or, absent of that, considering that the law already distinguished between so many forms of sexual abuse. Details matter. |
