In a heartfelt gesture, a father in New Jersey bought a house in Pennsylvania for his son Mark after he finished college. The plan was to stay close to his son, who commuted to Manhattan for work. Things were going smoothly until Mark met Lisa, the love of his life, and they decided to make the house their home.
The BBQ Betrayal
To celebrate the engagement, a “get to know you” barbecue was held at the Pennsylvania house. Both families seemed to hit it off, but things quickly took a disappointing turn. John’s wife, daughter, bride-to-be’s mother and sisters, and Mark all entered the house together. It was later revealed that they were uninvited from the wedding by Lisa’s family, who believed they weren’t of the same social standing.
Horrified by this news, John drove his wife and daughter back to New Jersey. After learning the truth, he confronted Mark, who explained the wedding situation. But when John arrived at the Pennsylvania house, he found Lisa and her family already living there.
A Drastic Decision
Frustrated by the situation, John lost his temper and decided to sell the house, giving Mark and Lisa’s family 30 days to find somewhere else to live. He felt that his family was no longer a priority and the in-laws had taken over.
Many people on Reddit supported John’s decision, agreeing that kicking Mark, Lisa, and her family out of the house was the right thing to do. What would you do in this situation?
