MY MIL GIFTED US A HOUSE FOR OUR WEDDING – A WEEK LATER, I DEMANDED WE RETURN IT OR END OUR MARRIAGE
Last month, Sarah and I got married after six amazing years together. At our wedding, her mom gave us the most shocking gift: the deed to a gorgeous five-bedroom house in a super-expensive neighborhood. I was blown away. Growing up with little, this felt like a dream come true.
But Sarah's reaction was weird. Her smile was forced, and she barely said anything. I thought it was just wedding stress.
We moved in, and the house was perfect — everything I'd ever wanted. But Sarah was distant, disappearing to another room with her phone and brushing off my questions. I tried to be patient.
Then came the dinner.
MIL invited us over to celebrate "starting our new life." Everything seemed fine, but MIL was unusually cheerful, and Sarah barely said a word. Halfway through dinner, MIL casually said, "So, have you spoken to my lawyer yet? I assume Sarah explained the arrangement?"
I froze. Lawyer? Arrangement?
Sarah's face went pale as her fork hit her plate. I looked between them, demanding an explanation. ⬇️
