Hi y'all, I've been here for 10 years. I love love LOVE food and most of my food recommendations are rated yum yum out of 10 by friends and family. (Mostly, foreign friends and family unfortunately, I'm from SEA, so food I like tend to be too flavorful for some locals).

I'd love to trade food recs with foodies here. I mean, we all know those hidden gems that you just don't really wanna share online since it'll get from crowded to too crowded. Or if you want a food recommendations of a specific sort of meal, eg. pizza, pasta, etc., comment away, I might have some recs. My absolute obsessions is ramen and noodles though, that'll probably be the one I can recommend the most places of.

Mom is in her late 50s. Was a single mother and then had a series of questionable partners.

(This is not to say she's a horrible mom and person. She is kind and selfless. Just that she grew up in times where tradwife is the norm. Think Bree from desperate housewives).

The men she choose tends to be controlling and sometimes, physically abusive. She has managed to get out every time through smart choices. (But alas, her taste in men can't be fixed).

Her current partner is the least worst. I don't dislike him because he's balding, I dislike him because his lack of interaction with women made him rude, uncaring and thoughtless. He has made my sister and I cry at times due to his callous comments. But he doesn't dare to say anything to my Mom.

I don't truly hate nor care about the man though, he's just a tad bit too socially inept for my liking. They were almost married about a year ago, but Man's family threw a gossip tantrum and the wedding got cancelled.

Anyway, backstory long. Issue this :

He and Mom bought a house. House is legally in Mom's name.

Man's family then starts to yap and talk shit about Mom.

Mom is sick of Man's family and wants to break up.

We don't have liquid cash to buy out his half of the house.

Mom wants to sell my inheritance land to give Man his half of the money.

Or, sell the house, split profit 50/50, and find somewhere else to live. But mom loves the house and designed it, she was an architect. This is arguable. The house is wack. the bed is as tall as my ribs and the bathroom is next to the railings. If anyone ask my opinion about the house, I'm happy that Mom is happy.

This is Mom's ideal scenario, someone buy the house, split profit 50/50 and she rents the house from buyer. Mom secretly wants my rich partner's family to buy the house. I do not want that for me. Money and in-laws don't mix well.

That's it.

Some of you will start to think, tf are they doing caring about useless gossip? I agree with you. Or can't we just, not give the Man money? It's legally in her name. I also agree with you. Alas my mom's a good Christian woman, what can I do?
