OP and her current husband, Danny, found themselves in an unconventional relationship around a dozen years ago. The pair decided on a ‘friends with benefits’ arrangement, being uninterested in remarrying but still desiring companionship. Their parents, due to religious beliefs, were presented with a slightly tweaked version of this arrangement as a traditional dating relationship.
Mixed Reactions From the Families
Dennis was warmly welcomed by OP’s family. His father, however, remained unsure of OP, and his stepmother, Brenda, showed outright hostility.
In her mind, she had successfully ousted the ex-wife, and a new woman sharing her son’s attention was unwelcome.
Stepping into the Lion’s Den
OP, by nature, is a straight-talking individual. Still, she endured far more of Brenda’s jabs and jibes than anyone should have.
It wasn’t out of a desire to be the bigger person, but out of a refusal to partake in petty squabbles.
But when Dennis’ brother introduced a new girlfriend – an unsuspecting, gentle young woman – things took a turn.
She Switched Targets
Brenda shifted her focus from OP, who had proved a tough target, to the vulnerable new girlfriend, now Sister-in-Law.
She took pleasure in reducing this young woman to tears with her venomous tongue, always choosing her moments of attack when the men were elsewhere.
The Barbecue Night Showdown
One Saturday evening at a family barbecue, Brenda unleashed a hateful tirade against both women, criticizing their relationships with the men and claiming they weren’t loved because of a lack of marriage proposals.
While OP was focused on making plans for a romantic night with Dennis, she spotted the reflection of her tearful sister-in-law in the window and turned her attention to the conversation.
A Retort That Turned the Tables
Caught up in the moment, OP responded to Brenda’s claim about the men’s heart belonging to her with a frank comment about her own interest in Dennis’ more physical attributes.
The room was left in shock until the sister-in-law broke into laughter, morphing from tears of sadness into tears of joy.
Unholy Outrage and a New Family Ally
Brenda’s reaction was pure, outraged hysteria! She rushed to the men, wailing about the blasphemous remark she’d just heard.
But instead of the support she expected, the men high-fived each other, leaving her to retreat, crying, to her bedroom.
The incident earned OP the unexpected approval of Dennis’ father, who offered her a favorite beer and officially welcomed her to the family, encouraging the sister-in-law to stand up to Brenda as well.
An Effective Tool for Peace
This memorable incident birthed a secret weapon for OP and her sister-in-law – a simple tongue gesture capable of sending Brenda fleeing, leaving them in blessed peace.
