She’s Tired Of Her Brother-In-Law Being A Serial Dater And She’s Telling The Internet She Recently Refused To Meet His New Girlfriend Because There’s No Way This Will Last
A woman has a brother-in-law who is completely a serial dater, and he always ends up hooking up with a woman and immediately moving forward with a serious relationship.
He has several children with all different moms, and while she does think he’s a good dad, she also finds it to be very irresponsible of him to keep doing this.
“He introduces his kids to these women and also brings them to family functions so my kids often see him with different women,” she explained.
“I’ve been married to his brother for the last 10 years and can honestly say he’s had a well over 30 of these “once in a lifetime” love stories.”
“We spend a lot of time together so it’s not unusual for him to hang out at our house on the weekends with friends and other family.”
Last week at Thanksgiving, which was at her house, she could hear her brother-in-law on the phone, and he was basically inviting that person on the other end over without even asking her.
She wasn’t bothered by this though, and she asked her brother-in-law who he invited to come over.
He replied that it was one of his friends that he would like for everyone to meet.
“I was already know how this story goes, and I wasn’t up for more company, especially on a holiday, so I told him to uninvite her,” she said.

“He got upset and said his brother (my husband) had already agreed. Husband said it’s a little rude to uninvite but ultimately he agreed with me.”
“Since then BIL has been trying to arrange a meet-up/double date, which I always decline. I told him I have no interest in meeting any more of these women until he finds one that he’s actually going to settle down with and get married.”
Obviously, that really pissed off her brother-in-law, who then dragged his whole family into this by accusing her of being envious and unsupportive of his happiness.
Christmas is supposed to be at her house this year, and her brother-in-law has since been threatening to not come at all if his new girlfriend also can’t come with him.
She honestly doesn’t care about this, but her husband isn’t too thrilled and is insisting that she is being dramatic.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“I like to make friends out of in-laws and friend’s partners, and constantly having to have my own heartstrings tugged on every time one of them leaves the picture would get very old, very fast.”
“These relationships affect you and the family, it’s not just about BIL.”
“Not sure how possible it is, but if you want to break him of this habit, just invite over all the other women he’s brought previously.”
“No doubt he introduced them with the hope they would be friends with his family, especially if they were so “serious”.”
“Well, he shouldn’t expect those friendships to end just because they stop dating and why can’t friends come over for the holidays.”
“It’ll cost you one holiday, but I’m sure when confronted with a multitude of his “once in a lifetime” relationships, he might start to comprehend his inconsiderate habit of bringing these randoms to family get together.”
“He does not exactly sound like someone I would want to have around my children. A good role model he is not.”
“I have to admit that if I met the new girl I might ask her if she is the latest member of the girlfriend of the month club? I would start betting pools every time he gets a new GF. It could become a new family tradition. Yes, I would be that petty.”
“I can’t even imagine how his children deal with the revolving door of women he shoved at them. How on earth will they ever learn what a healthy relationship is?”
“I would tell the BIL that if he can actually date one woman for, let’s say, 2 years then you might be willing to meet her. If he refuses to come to your house at Christmas without the latest GF I wouldn’t call it a big loss.”
“Totally reasonable to not want random women that you’ve never met, at your family holidays, especially since they’re being held AT YOUR HOUSE.”
“And yes it’s his life, but if he& girlfriend are at your house/around your family, it impacts you and your kids.”
“For example, are you kids expected to address every woman as “Aunt so and so”? That’s confusing lol. He can do what he wants, but these are your boundaries and that’s your right.”
“Holidays are for people in serious relationships that have been together for a decent amount of time.”
“If he’s had 30 relationships in 10 years, not a single one of them could have lasted long enough to be holiday material in my eyes.”
