My Cheating Brother Tried BACKSTABBING His Faithful Wife, But Got DESTROYED!

cheating on and off for 4 years makes me the bad guy. And you tell me I have a responsibility towards my kids. >> Before we start, show devotion by wickedly smacking the like button. Warning, the following episode is unsettling to cheaters who scream and cry after losing everything. My brother's fake name is Brad Thunderick and his wife Anna. [music] They've been having some serious marital problems, which is 99% Brad's fault. Anna is a stay-at-home mommy, goes to college online, and has a side business with an MLM. But whatever, she's made some new friends, and seems to be happier. Before they had kids, Brad and Anna had a solid [music] marriage. Anna told me after the kids came, their marriage slowly went downhill, and now it's on life support. Anna does everything for the kids, and Brad wants a medal for watching the kids for 30 minutes while Anna cooks dinner. He is more than capable of taking care of them, but chooses to let Anna do everything if he can get away with it. The MLM Anna is involved with is having a big convention [music] this week. We are locals, but Anna decided to do a station and is staying at [music] a hotel near the convention with her friends. This has been planned for months. Anna told Brad to take time off work and made it very clear she needed the break and this would be a really good opportunity to network. Over Christmas, she asked him if he got approved for the time off and he waved her off saying, "Yeah, yeah, yeah." She talked to me about it and I told her, "He is going to mess this up for you." And she told me he better not. So later she called me in tears and Brad texted her that an emergency came up at work and he would not be able to take off. He had to put in a long day on Tuesday and would be flying out on Wednesday. He was so sorry and would make it up to her. I thought she was going to have a breakdown. >> [music] >> She could barely talk. I told her to calm down and finish packing and pick her kids up from school. I said I would watch them until Brad got home. She did not want me in the middle. [music] I told her the heck with Brad and we've never been close anyway, so I did not give a damn how he reacted. I watched the kids until Brad strolled in at 10:00 p.m. Told him he was a selfish piece of crap on my way out the door. [music] He blasted my phone and I put him on do not disturb. I talked with Anna yesterday and he blasted her phone as well. She ended up telling him they could either get marriage counseling or see divorce lawyers. His choice, but he better stop calling her unless it was an emergency with the kids or she was calling to talk to them. He cooled his jets after being told that. Then he stopped by my house and I childishly spoke to him through the Ring camera and he asked me what he was supposed to do with the kids. I asked him if he even bothered to request the time off from work [music] and he would not answer me and kept saying he had an important business trip. He said Anna won't give the contact info for their [music] babysitter and asked me if I could watch the kids. He doesn't even know the sitter by name. I told him to get the f off my property with his [ __ ] If he were any kind of parent, he would already have the contact info for their babysitter. Anna prepped meals for the kids, organized all their clothes for the week, and left a detailed itinerary of their schedule. He just needs to [music] apply it. What else does he need? Our parents and his in-laws won't return his calls. He is flying solo this week and had to cancel his alleged business trip. Anna is still in contact with me. Says she will get to the bottom of that when she gets back home. I hope she has the best time with her friends. I hope Brad does not get a moment of peace. [music] No one is buying his lies or coming to his rescue. And I laugh when I think about it. Good luck, [music] bro. Hey, OP. How old [music] are the kids in their fight? The kids will be impacted that Brad will not feed them. He needs to learn this, but not with children getting messed up in between. The kids are four and six. They will be fed and he is very capable of taking care of them and he will take good care of them. [music] Anna is in close contact with them. The issue is he tried to sabotage her plans because he is selfish. If it's a convention for networking, then he's actively sabotaging her work. Does he even view her business with the MLM as work or does he see it as a hobby? Before the children, did Anna have a job/career or something that allowed her financial freedom? >> He sees it strictly as a hobby and is not supportive at all. He openly tells her he is embarrassed she is involved with an MLM scheme. None of us take her MLM so seriously, [music] though, but we try to be supportive within reason. The thing is, she's a good mom, and she gave up her job to be a stay-at-home mom. H I think he wasn't just trying to sabotage. It sounds like he had some side action planned as well. >> I believe he is very capable of that. That is a whole other can of worms Anna has chosen not to currently pursue. If he was planning some side [music] action, it won't be happening this week. >> I'd advise Anna to consult a divorce lawyer regardless. Also, are you his brother or sister? >> I [music] see this stunt being the final straw. I'm his sister. At least Anna knows she's got support and OP is an absolute boss for being an awesome bestie. I'd be getting their favorite snacks candies every week for several months as a thank you for ass covering. Holy crap. Brad is an incompetent Brad. Gh. I'm sorry. Did he forget he's the dad to these kids, not just the sperm donor? He thinks because he is the bread winner that means his work is done. Our dad was nothing like that to us, though. He's always been a spoiled child in a grown body. Anna will keep me posted and I will keep you guys posted. She'll get better behavior from him as an ex-husband [music] with the courts mandating his parental effort under pain of contempt. There's no way he requested that time off. And I would love to see what a judge would do with that sort of crap during proceedings. I don't believe for a second he requested time off. [music] As crazy as it sounds, he would surely be a more involved father if they got a divorce. There's no doubt. Good on her for staying strong. I hope she finds the happiness she deserves. Sounds like she is on the right track to making that man pay for his stupidity. [music] Although, I wouldn't be surprised if he was having an affair. We talked about that and she does not even care if he is having an affair. [music] In our state, adultery does not matter. She is definitely on the right track and is more and more ready to move on. I got a lot of messages for updates, so I am going to leave them in the comments. I'm going to start with the good news first. Anna is going to divorce Brad. [music] Thanks to a family member, she was able to get an appointment with a lawyer this week. She comes very highly recommended. When Anna came home on Sunday night, Brad was waiting with a suitcase and said it was his turn to take a vacation. And he left. No arguing. He just left. In his warped mind, his silence is meant to punish [music] Anna, but he is just making her life easier. While he is gone, she is going to be making copies of all the financial documents she can find. She hopes he really teaches her a very long and hard lesson and stays gone. The house was left a wreck. She moved all of Brad's crap from the master bedroom into his office. All his crap is laying on the floor. You can't even walk in there. There's not even room for a twin air mattress. The kids enjoyed their time with Brad like every kid would love no rules and mayhem. [music] They were asking for daddy today and want to spend time with him. Anna called him and he did answer. He spoke with the kids and told them he was on a business trip. She is going to file for joint custody. By the way, if he does not want 50% custody, then he will have to turn it down on the record. She also found out last Tuesday when he was supposed to be watching the kids. He was tagged in a picture at a bar playing pool. So much for working. He did not even untag himself, which shows he really does not give a damn. He doesn't love Anna or like her, but he must hate her to act like that. I don't get it. He absolutely disgusts me. That is all I have to update. Oh, wow. So, Brad was waiting with a suitcase and said it was his turn to take a vacation. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, prick. Bold choice leaving all your crap with someone you just majorly pissed off and betrayed. Seriously, no forward planning in his tiny skittle mind. Makes me think of a wise quote from Napoleon. Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. You just know that Brad is going to scream and cry that he was effed over by the courts when Anna gets all or most of the custody and he has to pay child support. Oh, and fork over the house. Sure, he'll quit his job and get something minimum wage. Just a spider. Sounds like Brad is another loser who treats having a wife and children like an achievement item to check off a list rather than, you know, like the love of his life and his children. as a normal human being. It sounds like he doesn't even like any of them to the point you have to wonder if he's a sociopath. I'm so glad women have the ability to support themselves without men now. I bet he thinks he's the smart one because he's the only one with a job. He'll find out that doing everything for the home and kids gives you all kinds of skills and understanding when the lawyers are involved. MLMs are an expensive hobby, like being in a cult where they make you tithe your income and proilitize to everyone. She will need to drop it when she goes solo, even if it provides a sense of community. She needs a real job, not a Ponzi scheme social group. The problem is her friends will tell her she can make a full-time living doing it. >> Was waiting for that comment. He's a fart of a human, but in some ways, Anna's in a much worse spot. If she's going to the MLM's conventions, she's in danger of getting too deep into the cult, and we'll likely need outside help to get out. I really, really hope the people in those threads were telling OP to try to get her out of that [ __ ] for the sake of his nibblings if he won't do it for her. Those things are money pits where financial stability goes to die. MLMs are genuinely considered a red flag in custody situations. >> I finally caught up with Anna. She decided not to go with the lawyer she consulted with originally. She found a new lawyer that was a better fit. He specializes in high conflict/asset divorces and has years of experience dealing with men that have Brad's need for control. There is a lot of behind-the-scenes information gathering that needs to be done before Brad is served. The lawyer said he needs 3 to 4 weeks. When it's real life, the process is much longer. Anna was warned that if they go into litigation, the divorce can drag on for 1 to 2 years [music] if she is lucky, so she should prepare herself. The lawyer emphasized to Anna not to tell him their marriage is over until the papers are filed with the court and a process server has been lined up. [music] She is going to tell him she filed for divorce and have him served within minutes. I don't remember the legal term, but there is an automatic order in place with the filing. [music] Neither party will be able to make unilateral decisions regarding their marital assets, which basically prevents Brad from pulling any shady [ __ ] If he does, then that is what her lawyer is there for. [music] Her demeanor is different from when I last saw her. She is confident and had this I don't give a [music] [ __ ] attitude. Whatever love she used to have for Brad is well and truly dead. I see it. When she talked about him, it was with the same contempt he has for her. She was talking about him like I do. After they get their temporary orders, she has no hope of them coming to a temp agreement. She said the only communication she will have with him is through lawyers and a parenting app. [music] After strategizing with her lawyer and coming up with a plan, she feels like she has her life back and some direction. I felt like I was talking to a stranger, but I love this new confidence and determination she has. Brad was gone all week to God knows where. Anna did not contact him one time unless the kids wanted to speak with him. It was radio silence on her end. In the past, she always kept in close touch and would [music] pick his sorry ass up from the airport. Due to her distance, Brad knew he was in trouble. There was no shock on his end when his office was trashed and Anna told him he would be sleeping there moving forward. [music] He had the audacity to ask how long she was going to be angry. He is treating this like a temper tantrum she is throwing. She used his asinine question as a chance to inform him how things would be moving forward. Keeping her lawyer's advice in mind, she told him that it's going to take her a long time to get past what he did and he needs to give her lots of space. I can picture that sob now, thinking he is off the hook and better behave himself until they go back to normal. Anna said she wanted to throw up in her mouth saying that, but she needed to lull him into a false sense of security. She also brought up his lack of involvement with the kids and told him moving forward he would be the primary caregiver every other weekend and he needed to pay attention to them in the evening without being prompted. I don't think he can see what is in front of him due to his arrogance. If my husband kicked me out of the bedroom and told me I was taking care of our kids by myself every other weekend, I would know a divorce was coming. For the first time ever, Brad [music] has taken the kids to school every day this week without being asked. So, he is using his kids to try and get back in Anna's good graces. He has no idea what is coming his way. I wanted [music] to address the MLM Anna is involved with. I really regret saying she was involved with one because it detracted from the real issues in her marriage and took on a life of its own. [music] I first want to say Anna spends her fun money on the MLM. Brad would have lost his mind if she used his money. Her involvement, in my personal opinion, is based on the friendships she has made. I also think depression left her vulnerable to being entangled with them. I'm not going to tell her she is an idiot for joining one. I tried to warn her, but she told me she knew what she was doing. I'm hoping she no longer feels the need for those friendships after she is free of Brad, if they are conditional, like I suspect. Anna is laying low and Brad is behaving, so I don't think there will be an update until he gets served. Small update here. I have gotten a lot of messages requesting an [music] update. Brad has not been served yet. As I mentioned before, it's going to take a while and the lawyer needs time. Brad is still as clueless as ever and still living in his office. Anna has stopped doing anything for [music] Brad. When I say she does nothing for him, I mean nothing. No hosting, no cooking, [music] no laundry, nothing. He is very upset and asked her what the point of her staying home is and said [music] she needed to get a job. She laughed in his face and told him that wasn't happening and there was nothing he could do about it. Since he is used [music] to Anna planning everything, he did nothing for our mom on Mother's Day. [music] Anna spent it with her own family and Brad was not invited. He texted me on Mother's Day and asked what we were doing for mom. [music] I told him we were doing nothing and I made my own plans with mom and he was [music] not included. I told him to go to Costco and buy mom some freaking flowers and drop them off. I [music] cannot stand him. Selfish bastard. >> Royal AI. >> I could no longer post on my original thread, so I will update here. A lot has happened the past couple of weeks. Brad was served with papers and he actually took it well and did not act like he was blindsided. He claims he was planning to divorce Anna and had just secured a lawyer. Brad told Anna she has made his life a living hell and he would be happier living on the street. The part that [music] is killing him is that she is treating him with indifference and he can no longer control [music] her. She called him out for all his lies, deflection, and cheating when he said he would rather be homeless than spend one more day with her. Well, he finally admitted to cheating with no remorse and even offered to answer any questions out of pure spite. She only had two questions, and that was when he started cheating and how often he faked business trips. He has been cheating on and off for 4 years. So around the time their youngest was born, he faked business trips every chance he got. She told him that was all she wanted to know. And he seemed disappointed she had no more questions. For the life of me, I cannot figure out where his anger is rooted. This man did whatever the [ __ ] he wanted when he wanted and basically lived two lives. Brad decided on his own to move out. Anna's lawyer told her not to move out before a temporary custody agreement was in place. You have to assume Brad's lawyer gave the same advice, but he is ignoring it. [music] Brad decided to be a petty [ __ ] and took Anna's espresso machine and blender with him. That's all the household items he [music] chose to take. He made a dramatic exit by leaving his wedding ring, house keys, and clicker on the counter and telling her he will never set foot in their house again. She told him that was a promise he better keep and [music] threw his wedding ring in the trash right in front of him. Getting him [music] out of that house was an act of divine intervention. She is beyond thrilled to have him gone. This past Father's Day weekend, he had the kids in the new place. He was supposed to return them Sunday evening and unilaterally decided he was keeping them longer. Anna told [music] him to keep them until Friday evening and they could start 50/50 right away. With this extra free time, she went on a camping trip and Brad had to scramble. He's like a toddler trying to test his limits with his mother and then facing consequences. Brad's lawyer still needs to file his response. He asked Anna if she planned to go back to work. She asked him if he were in her position, would he go back to work if he did not have to? Brad of course said he would go back to work. Lol. I hope Brad is mentally preparing himself to support two households. I think his lawyer educated him because he is now asking Anna what she plans to do versus telling her what she is going to do. Right now they are being civil. Hopefully their lawyers can negotiate a settlement. [music] It will be easier since they are living apart. He is big [music] mad at me and I am a traitor. Upset with our parents about their lack of support, but has no problem asking them to babysit last minute. At least he has his toxic bros to validate his life decisions. If anything major happens, I will update, but everything is with the lawyers now. Someone in the comments asked me if Anna actually wanted 50/50 or that she might have said that to prove a point and force him to admit he's a shitty dad. while she wants to share 50/50 and filed for joint custody in the divorce papers. Her throwing his wedding ring in the trash in front of him [music] after he tried to dramatically leave it behind with the keys is cinematic. I hope she pulled it out and ponded it when he left. No need to throw money away like that. I was thinking that she could put the money towards a new espresso machine. [music] Also, do guys like Brad never stop for a moment and think, "Why do all the people closest to me in my life dislike me?" Oh, yeah. Exactly. I hope she digs his wedding ring out of the trash. Does she have any idea what gold is going for these days? Go sell it, girl. But good for her. She played him at his game. When I tried to sell my engagement ring from my ex, they offered me very little. I always get a chuckle when someone calls their own sibling an sob. [music] When my brother was younger, him and his entire friend group spent about half their time making your mom jokes. I'll never forget that we were at the dinner table and he said, "I did your mom." My other brother looked at him and said, "That's your mom, too, idiot." I imagined that there was a quiet [music] moment of contemplation as the hamster wheel in his head slowly spun around. never heard another your mom joke from him [music] and he's still teased about it 20 plus years later. >> I think your brother can parent his children. They will not be in danger with him. So yes, split custody right down the middle and let Anna have some time to herself. I agree with that. Except the part about Brad unilaterally deciding to keep the kids longer than they'd agreed upon gh gives me rage. He seems like the type of impulsive, [music] petty [ __ ] who would take the kids and run if he thought he could get back at his ex-wife [music] that way. Or at the very least, fill their heads with a bunch of lies about how terrible mom is while undermining every rule and boundary she sets so that he's the fun parent. Yeah, I don't think so. Really, [music] keeping kids longer was to show her who's the boss. To show her be nice or I'll make it difficult. But since she didn't take bait and effed off to do her own thing, now he knows how much effort it takes to take care of his kids. There's no way he'll go for it. Lazy Bum. That was a power play many abusive ex-husbands do. That's in the playbook abuser 101. Way too many men follow. being unilaterally extremely [music] spontaneous on when they turn over the kids leaves their ex-wife scrambling because she can't make any plans without the fear of him dropping the kids off without notice and just leaving them on her doorstep. As with all his other decisions, it just was extremely stupid to start with keeping them longer than agreed upon instead of bringing them back ahead of time to ruin Anna's plans. It's smart of her to nip this in the butt. Brad only wants the kids to take something away from Anna. He'll soon learn that trashing his own place where no bang maid cleans up after his messes is not in his interest. Then he'll first start searching for a doable babysitter and dump his children on her. And when an idiot like him doesn't find one, he'll skip his custody times, making it easier for Anna in court. I need one of these stupid updates [music] to dive into the backstory of why this lady hates her brother so much that she's continually updating the story, chronicling the guy's family falling apart. Sister absolutely loathe her brother, [music] and I kind of want to know why. Like, I loathe people, but I don't hate anyone enough to spend this much of my emotional energy chronicling the breakup of their family on Reddit. Brad Thunderpick thought being a deadbeat bread winner was a hall pass so he could cheat on his loyal wife for 4 years. It's even worse. He actually expected to being treated as a king and having a quiet submissive wife while he didn't do jack crap in raising his own kids. Got to admit personally I'd forget planning appointments too. But this brat is on another shameless level. He lied about taking time off seemingly on [music] purpose. He did not know the sitter's name. He did not untag the bar photo. Then he packed a suitcase to punish [music] her and left his bedroom like a spoiled teenager trying to make a point. On top of that, [music] stealing a blender is not a power move. It's just sad, pathetic. He said he would rather live on the street than spend one more day with her, then got angry when she did just that. Even with all I've mentioned, he still blames his ex-wife and his sister. This is just amazing. You can't make this up. Covering stories like these [music] makes me wonder how men like Brad actually get a loyal wife. Were there no red flags when they started dating? There must have been. At least his ex-wife got rid of him, [music] but she'll have lots of stuff to work on. Viewer takeaways to learn from Brad's incompetence and snowflake mentality. [music] One, don't treat your wife or spouse as staff member. Staff members quit with short [music] notice. You should be a team when you are married and have kids. Don't expect your wife and kids to be GTA 6 NPCs in your life. Two, if you cannot run the house, [music] the kids, and a week of your own schedule without scheming to backstab your wife, you do not have a marriage. This is how you lose. Your significant other loses, and even worse, [music] your kids. Three, for the cheaters. When you're coming clean about cheating just to hurt your ex-wife, it reflects [music] more on your poop stained character. This is just pathetic. As a man, I feel bad your DNA is continued in the human race. [screaming] I, Royal AI, really mean this. And I can't emphasize this more without using foul words, so I'll just leave it at that. >> Softly tickle the like button by dropping a nuke on its head. >> Hey guys, the channel is up and running again. So now I'm released [music] from the chains. Expect more coming your way. I hope you're ready for all that's to come. Thanks to all that stayed with me for the kind words, especially the Patreon members. It makes a difference. Also, we're going to use the old voices more, too. Improvement is good, but some things became part of the [music] soul of this channel. This means this royal AI voice. >> Or you might even hear this one. Let me know if you would dig that. >> I personally prefer this one. See you in the next one. Bye-bye.
