Today, I have to choose between paying the mortgage or paying my brother the hush money for him knowing about the affair I had with his friend. He made it clear that if I miss a single payment, he'll tell my wife everything. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out I was getting a divorce. My wife is leaving me for my brother, saying that now that he has money there is nothing that can stand in their way. I recently decided to send him money to help him get back on his feet. FML
Today, my brother‘s will read that everything would go to our other brother, so long as he punched me for having an affair with my his wife. So now I have a black eye. I’m gay, but I've never told my family. I didn't have an affair with his wife. FML
Today, I found out my husband hasn't paid the mortgage in 3 months. We have a joint account, but it has always been his job to pay the bills. We are in the process of selling our house, and when I asked him about it he said, "Why are you stressing? We're selling anyways." FML
Today, my husband gave me an ultimatum - choose him or my male best friend. I chose my husband. My husband then admitted to me that he was hoping I would choose my best friend so he would have an excuse to leave me and wouldn't have to tell me he's been cheating on me. FML
Today, I hired a private investigator to find out if my wife of 15 years is cheating on me with my brother. I don't know what's worse, that she is cheating on me, or that instead of cheating with my brother she's cheating with my brother's wife. FML
Today, I had to go cap in hand to my father-in-law to ask for a loan so I could pay the mortgage, so now he thinks I’m a useless bum who can’t support my family. The truth is it was his daughter the gambler who wasted all our savings, but I can’t bring myself to upset him by telling him the truth. FML
Today, my husband announced the reason he had been working since much is because he had secretly paid off my tens of thousands of student loans. I then had to tell him I'm leaving him for his best friend. FML
Today, my wife somehow found out that my "surprise bonus" from earlier this year was actually hush money from my boss to keep quiet about her affair. Rather than let a good thing alone, she threw a fit and called my boss's husband. Now I'm jobless, and my boss has sworn I'll never work in my industry again. FML
Today, my husband actually tried to pay me to forget about the affair that he's been having. FML
Today, my fiancé asked for money to bail his brother out of jail, the same brother who happily spent a whole day recently trying to convince my fiancé that I've been cheating on him with my own cousin. So I said no. He shook his head in disgust and said that I'm "unbelievably spiteful". FML

How does the old saying go? Oh, yes. "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

Pay the mortgage, fess up to the wife, and plan on moving out of the house you just kept out of foreclosure. This way the blackmail money will go to your divorce attorney and not your brother

If he tells your wife, he will never see a penny again. Is he really that dumb? And, hey, go and tell your wife. This situation is crap.

If you cheated, it sounds like you need a new wife. If that's how your brother treats you, it sounds like you need a new family.

How are you blaming the wife? He's the lover, not her.
AlanShore 12
I'm not blaming the wife, I'm saying if he cheated on her then he's obviously not interested in her anymore and should move on rather than cheating. It is not the wife's fault, it is him.

if you don't pay the mortgage, you're wife is gonna know somethings up n find out anyway. on the other hand if your brother wants the $ that bad, is he a degenerate and the type of person your wife might not believe?

Black mail is a criminal offense. Press charges against your brother. But YDI for being a cheating POS. Fess up to the wife, press charges against your brother, also a POS, and pack your stuff.

Sounds like your brother is as big a douche as yourself. Birds of a feather...

Deny, deny, deny. Tell your wife your brother is victimizing you in a scheme with his friend. Have you learned nothing from the Trump presidency and aftermath? The new technology of lying is to stick to your lies regardless of what evidence comes to light.

maybe the brother has proof? and if nothing else the wife will probably investigate, and it doesn't sound like the person has been so sneaky since the brother knows
RichardPencil 32
There's no such thing as proof anymore. Just say any rock solid evidence is "fake news" or deep-fake technology. Trump and the anti-vax lunatics have advanced the art of making people not believe anything, no matter how true.

Pay the mortgage. Come clean with your wife. You're such a douche. I hope you didn't come here expecting sympathy. I feel bad for your wife because you're a cheating asshole and she may lose her home because of it. And if you have kids.... you're going to let your wife and kids be homeless over your shameful behavior. Be a real man and come clean.
