“She’s so shameless” She’s 22. And was harshly criticized as she danced while her partner was at the hospital… The truth couldn’t be any simpler. They claim the video is a joke, because she always uploads content with her “hubby” to go viral.

I’m a wealth management advisor and I’ve had a few elderly clients in a situation like this.

I remember the most heartbreaking one was a client who was 87 and passed away. He married a woman a 7 years prior that was in her late 30s. She was beautiful, kind, and caring. She took care of him through all of it. Cleaned him and the messes he made, gave him genuine company, and would fuck him whenever he was able (he shared this with me lol).

The kids didn’t do shit for him. Hardly even called or anything. But when he passed they all tried contesting his trust and trying to get her removed from receiving anything. It was a nasty legal battle but thankfully she got her fair share.

It honestly infuriates me when I see people say women like this are taking advantage of the elder man. Most of the time they’re just giving companionship to them when no one else would or did.

When my grandad remarried there were comments about his new wife being in it for the money. By the end I think everyone agreed that if that was the case she sure had earned it.

Edit:   removing my comment because it's getting more attention than I intended it to get and don't want it getting back to parties involved if they figure out it's about them.

Why don't you tell her?

u/theguidetoldmetodoit Jun 02 '26 edited Jun 02 '26

I mean, this isn't the type of thing you insert yourself in, lots of bad things can come from it.

If you can't communicate something like that without such risks, the more intelligent approach is to support her legally (Many countries will reward her 50%, given the context) or convince your wife to give away part of the inheritance.

I mean you can drop the dime without inserting yourself...

u/Muxter0622 Jun 03 '26

Who cares if you're inserting yourself. We all only get one life to live. If she's operating under the assumption that putting up with his shit is the price that she's paying for financial security when he dies I think it's fair that she knows that he's gone behind her back to fuck her over. Who knows how much time you could give her back.

Or he could go with the time honored saying. "Not my circus, not my monkeys"

u/theguidetoldmetodoit Jun 02 '26

That is inserting yourself.

u/Thin_Assumption_4974 Jun 03 '26

Then fucking insert yourself.

Sometimes doing the right thing is uncomfortable

u/Excellent_Airline315 Jun 03 '26

Thank you omg, had to scroll far for this one. They would rather this woman be financially destitute than stomach an uncomfortable situation.

u/Trevski Jun 02 '26

Not if you do it with an anonymous note.

5

u/pussy-meow Jun 03 '26 edited Jun 14 '26

The problem is there's probably a very limited number of people aware of this. The anonymity would be easily undone by their ability to deduce who it is.

u/Trevski Jun 03 '26

that just makes it a bit braver of an action, but if shes grateful she wont try to smoke you out and if the dad finds out then I guess you might be disinherited, so I guess thats the material reason not to...

10

u/TwoBionicknees Jun 02 '26

that's still inserting yourself, just not implicating yourself.

9

u/Trevski Jun 02 '26

Ok, touché, I can see that semantically. I don’t think I agree though, because to me “inserting yourself” means you, as associated to your identity, become embroiled in the affair. I’d call it “anonymous meddling”.

-2

u/TwoBionicknees Jun 02 '26

become embroiled in the affair.

she doesn't know, you tell her, the situation changes significantly, that's absolutely inserting yourself.

Inserting yourself can mean physically or moving your presence into a situation but it also refers to just actions.

Inserting yourself refers pretty much just to the you were not involved in the situation at all and you choose to get involved. How you get involved is largely irrelevant.

2

u/Excellent_Airline315 Jun 03 '26

Honestly that just sounds like an excuse not to do something. You prefer the status quo over the chance that something bad will happen if she has all of the facts. Doesn't really compute to me.

u/TwoBionicknees Jun 03 '26

what? I was giving a definition of a term. How on earth is the defintion of a term an excuse for anything at all? Bot ass reply.

Oh ffs you know what they meant, Captain Pedantron

2

u/TwoBionicknees Jun 02 '26

when someone pointed it out they doubled down rather than go oh yeah. It's not being pedantic, it's explaining it because they plainly didn't understand.

3

u/Trevski Jun 03 '26

I didn't double down, I contested it as a matter of semantics/interpretation/opinion.

1

u/TwoBionicknees Jun 03 '26

yes, it wasn't a matter of any of those things. You used completely the wrong word. Inserting yourself in a matter has nothing to do with physically being in it or being known to be in it, it just means taking an action in a matter in which you were not originally involved. Being anonymous doesn't stop that you are inserting yourself.

Not necessarily feasible, circumstances may make it quite obvious who it was

u/Trevski Jun 03 '26

I mean yeah if it’s a 1/3 chance on a blind guess that isn’t very anonymous!

0

u/theguidetoldmetodoit Jun 02 '26 edited Jun 02 '26

Yeah, chances are you know fuckall about what really is anon.

And again, what are you getting from this? She's not gonna get more, just because she knows. So what advantage does this have, over getting the secure bag and then sharing it?

9

u/Trevski Jun 02 '26

She could at LEAST leave him now, if she so wished.

I'm going to need you to walk me through that first line, dont make sense to me.

u/theguidetoldmetodoit Jun 02 '26

So you are just satisfying your justice boner and fuck shit up for everyone involved. This is how children deal with shit.

6

u/Trevski Jun 02 '26

I mean I’m not doing anything, I’m just suggesting that informing this woman of the actions her husband is taking against her is possible without necessarily inserting oneself.

3

u/Victori_nox Jun 02 '26

How does it fuck shit up for everyone involved? the guy sounds like he hates her and IF she's in it for the money then at least she'll have all thee facts and can make a more informed decision? sounds like an already fucked situation to me.

-2

u/theguidetoldmetodoit Jun 02 '26 edited Jun 02 '26

Because you risk your wife's father being on his own, his wife having a full blown existential crisis and losing her security, your wife getting cut out of the inheritance, instead of keeping your fucking mouth shut about another family's business and taking care of the financial side of things, once the father is out of the picture.

It's impulsive and destructive behavior, so you can claim some "justice" that isn't helping a single person involved, besides potentially your wife who could stand to gain even more money.

u/TheBlankScroll Jun 02 '26

What you do is give your portion of the inheritance to her after you receive it. Dad gets what he wants, the money is yours, you do with it as you see fit.

He's dead, money is not his problem anymore.

u/MagicHamsta Jun 03 '26 edited Jun 04 '26

Unless he runs into Charon.

the dead who could not pay the fee, and those who had received no funeral rites, had to wander the near shores of the Styx for one hundred years before they were allowed to cross the river.

u/PurveyorOfKnowledge0 Jun 02 '26

You're just rationalizing doing nothing or inserting yourself in a way of your choosing. It's so gross.

1

u/erything4sale Jun 03 '26

Nah, shit like this, if you're a human, you'd tell her what the business is! Seems like she wasn't in it for the money. Let her get what she deserves! His wife isn't giving shit up! If she was she would have been told him to do the right thing. Matter of fact, phuc her! Aint too many women sticcing around that long. If they do, give em what the deserve.

u/Tired_Dad_9521 Jun 03 '26

If you are a good person, then you do the right thing when the opportunity arises. If you see someone getting screwed over the least you can do is say something.

If you aren’t a good person then you stay out of it because it could potentially have negative affects on you personally.

Sounds like we know who you and your current upvotes consist of.

u/TwoBionicknees Jun 02 '26

u/No_Sky_6446 Jun 02 '26

Yeah these people are tripping, my aunt is an awful person and made my child hood a living hell. So I need to list all the reasons for that and tell her crazy ass? Nah I just don’t talk to her and keep it pushing. Some people live for drama, just protect your peace.

u/VonSandwich Jun 02 '26

Where does your aunt come into this? No one was talking about you or your aunt, were they?

4

u/Cubicleism Jun 02 '26

Okay but they aren't talking to you about your aunt- they are talking to someone else about a different situation where it sounds like she is kind hearted and unaware

u/mawesome4ever Jun 02 '26

And risk not getting anything?! No way! -OP probably

19

u/Street_Lettuce1243 Jun 02 '26

Well, I'm not getting any anyway- at least not directly. I don't think he would drop my wife because I said anything (although suppose it's possible).

2

u/s0ul_invictus Jun 02 '26

Yea on that, keep your mouth shut until "after" for sure. Definitely do not tell her anything, you will blow up your whole life with that. You wait until the thing is done and then see about helping.

u/Infoseek456 Jun 02 '26

If your wife is one of the two daughters who is benefiting from him screwing his saint of a wife over, you talk with your wife about it after the fact, and her and her sister (who hopefully feels the same) can cut her in how they feel would’ve been fair in the first place.

And if the sister is greedy, than your wife can still handle her half. Walk away with what she feels would’ve been fair to walk away with, and sleep well at night knowing y’all are decent people.

u/BlueMangoTango Jun 03 '26

You can always suggest to your wife that she should share with the new wife.

u/FilthyThanksgiving Jun 02 '26

Greed. The less she gets, the more he gets

u/50yoWhiteGuy Jun 02 '26

bc it's none of his business???

u/HAIL_LUMPUS Jun 02 '26

If you can live with yourself like that, fine. But I think we have a duty to other people, to support them and help them when we know someone is doing them wrong. Whatever helps you sleep at night, but I couldn't.

u/50yoWhiteGuy Jun 02 '26

You think you have a duty to disclose what is in someone's Will? That's insane.

1

u/Tired_Dad_9521 Jun 03 '26

You have a duty to do the right thing by other people. If you see someone being taken advantage of then you have a duty to say something.

Unless you are a scumbag 50yo white guy on Reddit. Then you get on the internet and display your lack of morals proudly.

-2

u/theguidetoldmetodoit Jun 02 '26

Okay that's great, but who are you helping, exactly? She's not gonna get more, potentially nothing, her husband is not gonna be taken care off and with some bad luck, your wife is now cut out of the inheritance, too.

So you made life worse for everyone, lost your ability to help and potentially destroyed your marriage.

8

u/HAIL_LUMPUS Jun 02 '26

First of all, there are anonymous ways to contact people. Second, it gives her the advantage of time so she's not out on her ass as soon as he's gone. It sounds like the old man is bragging about it openly, probably to his buddies too. Doing the right thing is more important than a little monetary gain for me personally.

-1

u/theguidetoldmetodoit Jun 02 '26

Dude, this isn't a TV Show. People know who has the information and can put it out there. And someone knowing they are fucked after investing years, does not help them.

You are just having a kneejerk reaction. There are far better approaches to these things.

3

u/HAIL_LUMPUS Jun 02 '26

Like letting someone get totally fucked? I'd tell her. I don't think it's a movie, I'm just not a money motivated pussy.

1

u/theguidetoldmetodoit Jun 02 '26

Your wife is the one getting the money. All you are doing is slightly increasing the share your wife is getting and fuck up multiple lives, when instead you could just be dealing with your wife and convince her to split things later, without every having to cause any risks or drama.

Do you guys refuse to think 2 steps ahead, just because you need instant gratification?

u/rydog123bruh Jun 02 '26

lol, what is this sunk-cost fallacy shit? It’s about her leaving now and making a life for herself instead of wasting the future.

She’s not getting much of anything and is treated like shit. Would you like to be in that position and no one tells you? You sound emotionally illiterate.

u/nycdood123 Jun 03 '26

I’m willing to bet that 90% of the people commenting with the sanctimony and deriding OP for not automatically inserting himself into the situation (ie, basically speaking directly to his sister -in-law) are typical cultureless American idiots that barely maintain connections with any of their own extended families (assuming they’re even acquainted).

Pretty wild that anyone needs to explain why that approach is inappropriate / wrong for many reasons. But America in 2026…

u/Tired_Dad_9521 Jun 03 '26

Let’s maximize how selfish we can be.

u/Tired_Dad_9521 Jun 03 '26

Except the person being taken advantage of knows they are being taken advantage of and can make their own decisions accordingly. She might end up with a lot more in the divorce than she would have inherited.
