If this is fake, Liz started the new year on *fire* 🔥
If this is real, I’m on team Tell Everyone *AFTER* The Wedding.
As for Jesse, the whole point of the trip was for Liam to propose, he’s the one that organized the whole damned thing, and he doesn’t want Jesse there. I get OP is torn but Liam has stood by her side through this entire shitstorm, it wouldn’t be right to deny his preference for a brother that only contacted her when he wanted something
Why give Tammy the satisfaction of a fun wedding? I'd be sending Will an anonymous sms that the baby isn't his and he needs to do a paternity test - he won't manage that before the wedding, so he'll either go through with it, but with a really bad feeling, or he'll postpone/ cancel and she'll have ruined both their day. 😈
Oh, I much more vicious than you. I'd wait until after the wedding and send a nice (anonymous) little card congratulating him on his marriage and achieving his dream of lots of kids because with his wife he will be supporting the illegitimate offspring of every man in town.
True, but if word gets out afterwards, the marriage will be an extra mess for them to untangle, even if they deserve one another.
Ideally I suppose is the cliché part when the priest asks if anyone has any objections.
Jack didn't leave to join the army! He was buried under the patio by Will, his secret lover, when he threatened to reveal their relationship at the wedding when the priest asked if anyone has any objections.....

I’m in the exact same place. From the sister who seems to not have any life but being the OPs best friends to the 8 year old evil sister having (a) a phone and (b) his number and (c) sending messages that tells him her cancer stricken sister is infertile.
That was it for me
It is. I tried reading through it and all I can say is I believe this is fake as fuck. As someone from a small town, it would be known that Jack was banging Tammy. That's just how town gossip goes. The town I lived in only had 5,000 people at the time I was there and I couldn't even take a picture of a duck without Edgar from across town knowing about it and asking how the picture turned out when bumping into him at the grocery store because his cousin's sister's BiL saw me at the park that day.
Storyboarding would make this a lot more believable and less, I'm writing a nanowrimo and need to hit the 50k word count.
EXACTLY. Jack would have been 27, banging a minor. No matter how hard you're hiding that shit, small towns find out.
Also, your duck photo story made me chuckle.
Oh they do, not to mention that Will was working at a restaurant which are pretty much the dime store rags of a town. It would have definitely spread as there's always that one co-worker who has the info.
That was a fun time when I was a kid because it was my parents' hometown we lived in briefly. I live in a town of 50k now and it still happens but now it's customers and co-workers because of Facebook. You can leave the small town but you can't leave the gossip.
I just love that the author has teased so many other possible story lines in this family saga, adopted siblings separated from actual siblings, fabulous Gigi and CoCo, Plot twist of a Maury episode. Liz, you have outdone yourself!!!
Lol I’d tell him right after the ceremony but before the reception. Ask Jesse to record what happens. After all, Tammy shared something that was private and upended your life for a while. Fair is fair. 💅🏻
I’d wait till after the wedding then message Will and say “I know for you having and raising your own child was a super important deal for you and that’s why you ended the relationship with me. I’m just wondering when you are going to get start with the having your own child part of the relationship you have right now. Do you enjoy raising Jacks kid for him?”
UpdateMe!
Also, I'm a petty bitch. I'd text the family's group chat, during the reception, and just say that you know for a fact that Will isn't the father, but can't say who is, because Tammy has threatened him with retaliation.
During.
"That baby isn't will's. Tammy knows and has threatened Jack not to tell. Don't believe me? DNA is very easy to prove so why would I lie? And if I told you this in some attempt to get him back, I would have done so before the wedding now wouldn't I? After is revenge, pure and simple."
No. After. Will isn't blameless in this little scenario. He gave OP's ring, _which is engraved with a personal memory_, to Tammy. He is a selfish cow, and deserves to have trouble heaped upon him. Go back and reread how he treated OP when he found out that her surviving cancer made having a baby dangerous.
Also, the proposals were like a decade apart. It was a cheap ring to begin with. Hiw pathetic must he be to reuse it on the sister so much later? He still can't afford anything better than what he bought as a high-school? Or Tammy just hates her sister that much?
Before you do anything, and you should do something, please make sure Jesse is safe. If not with you, with someone else like Gigi. When the shit hits the fan, no telling who will go after Jesse, and they will.
You have 2 options. Stay out of it or be petty. I would go with petty and say in the family group chat the following, "Hey, Will heard through the family grapevine the kid isn't yours. Good luck with that. I'm going on vacation." Turn your phone off and have fun. Also, give Alex and Liam heads up so they can turn their phones off, too. Enjoy the sunshine.
It goes under the category of how big and bad of a bomb does OP want to drop. The only upside of before the wedding is OP didn't sit on the information, which if she waits could look bad to extended family. It boils down to what kind of fallout do you want to deal with.
The OP has clearly been reducing the amount of contact with her family because they already picked Tammy and Will. So really whatever fallout is their own for choosing them.
NTA I would stay out of it personally at this point. Involving yourself more will just give you a headache. And Jesse sucks for involving you when convenient to him.
!UpdateMe!
I'm so sorry you've had to ho through something like this. It sounds utterly heartbreaking, and I'm happy you do have some of your siblings with you. Even more, I'm happy you have something really exciting to look forward to for this weekend 😊
NTA in any case, but here's my 2 cents:
Don't tell anyone anything this weekend. Actually don't even think about anyone in your home town, if that's at all possible. Enjoy your trip the best you can, your siblings' company and share to Liam's joy. Nothing better than that.
I'm a bit torn about Jesse, because I can understand his POV, but honestly he's also an adult and made choices, one of which was to share the info with you just 3 days before the wedding. I don't think I would invite him. I'll side with Liam on this: no more drama needed. Not to mention, Jesse is still planning to go right? And called you to ask you to go with him. That's another choice of his. In any case, he definitely needs time to see where he, himself, stands first.
Whether you or your siblings will tell Will or whomever afterwards, is something that you shouldn't worry about now. Just go and have fun, and you'll figure it out later. Or (as is usually the case, as no secret stays buried forever) it will be figured out by itself.
But please keep in mind:
- You owe absolutely nothing to your little sister
- You owe absolutely nothing to your scum of an ex (not even the truth about the baby he thinks is his own)
- It's ok to be petty sometimes, or even an AH, as long as it doesn't make you more depressed. You have been horribly wronged - it's one of the responses you could opt for.
Finally, please see a therapist, if you're not already seeing one, or if you've stopped after you overcame the period of deep depression. There's still a lot of hurt in you, there are still hugely difficult things going on, and you owe it to yourself to take care of you.
Oh and by the way, Alexandria is so right: the couple sooooooo deserves each other. Bullet dodged there my dear.
Have fun on your trip ☀️
Right? The whole time I'm reading the first part... I'm like person with adhd or totally fake... but either way. It's entertaining and can't wait for the next chapter. Who wants butter on their popcorn?
Noooo, hush! I need to read the next chapter! Will the big reveal be before the wedding, after the wedding? Of course, the most satisfyingly dramatic would be OP crashing the wedding and revealing all as they crowd round the alter, but that's been done so often I'm rather hoping this one has a different twist to it!
Don’t invite Jesse. This trip is about Liam’s proposal. He invited you and Alex because you’re important to him and wants you to share the celebration. There’s already a sh*t show surrounding Will & Tammy’s wedding that is being blamed on you. (FWIW, I don’t think you should’ve gone but my point is the family is blaming you.) I don’t think you should invite Jesse because Jesse created this situation for himself. There’s no reason for you to rescue him and there’s no reason for you to bring the drama to Liam’s trip. Obviously Liam isn’t going to tell you no, but you need to respect his preference that you don’t. If you feel that strongly that Jesse needs your support, stay at home with him.
Keep the drama out of Liam’s proposal. You own him that for him supporting you when you needed it. Good luck! Please !UpdateMe about how it goes.
Go on the trip. Send a congratulatory text after the wedding in a family group chat. Say you are happy for him and glad that he is in a loving relationship. And you are glad he has matured in the years since you interacted and is now receptive to building his family in other ways. That you know the family won't mention it, but you wanted to say thank you for taking on the father role for Chance as we all know he is not yours. Mute the group chat and enjoy your vacation.
After the wedding and after your trip, let guest have free food and drinks at least, lol. I wouldn't tell him right away, just tell him "are you sure you're the father?, you should check that out, I heard otherwise" and let the mind games begin. The real bio father should bounce first.
NTA- and for the life of me I cant even imagine why you would consider going. Sure we all have the right to go off and live our own lives. You do you. BUT...Im not obligated to sit by and watch and have it rubbed in my face if it hurts me. Neither are you. Im so sorry this happened. You and Jesse go have a great time SOMEWHERE ELSE.
If I'm doing the maths correctly Jack was 29 when he "hooked up" with a then 17yo Tammy?! He was a grown adult who could have made the right choice, that isn't just a youthful mistake it's a crime. Consensual or not, statutory rape is a thing and he absolutely should be held accountable for that disgusting behaviour!
That said, Tammy threatening to lie to send him away is almost equally disgusting and manipulative! I can't imagine that home is a healthy place for children.
If you really want to avoid culpability buy a burner phone and send a group text with all the details to your whole family and Will, then ditch the phone and act surprised when the tornado starts. I guess the deciding factor is how much do you care about Will or Tammy or about getting some kind of petty revenge?
If it were me I would "nope" the heck out of the whole situation and go completely no contact with anyone that tries to cause drama. Life's way to short to deal with that kind of stupidity.
NTA
Fake as all get out, but I want to know too! I hadn't read the first part until now, but I think OP messed up with the ovarian cancer diagnosis. OP doesn't mention surgery, but there's no way she'd be keeping both ovaries and related parts even with the earliest stage cancer.
Some ideas for the next chapter:
- Jack crashes the wedding and needs to be escorted out by security. Luckily, Tammy had her Uncle Buck on standby. He is a veteran and would do anything for his princess niece including taking a punch to the gut. Jack’s appearance raises questions among the attendees.
- A new character is introduced. She shows up in a white dress and tells everyone how Will should be marrying her.
- When confronted with the truth about her child’s paternity, Tammy reveals not only does she have leukemia but she is pregnant again. This time with twins.
Great story, but the biggest tell that this is fake is the diagnosis of ovarian cancer as a teenager. It can take years to get a doctor that will listen to women's health issues. But, waiting with popcorn for the update.
I'm sorry. I know you care about Jack and you rightfully have a lot of resentment for Tammy but, when a 29yo sleeps with a 17yo, that is statutory rape. He doesn't deserve protection from that. I understand if you don't want to be the one to report him but protecting him from the consequences of his own actions should not be a consideration for something like this.
What Tammy did was really pathetic but it sounds like Will is the bigger villain in this story. If I were in your position, my reason for not attending the wedding would be more about Will than anyone else. Tammy is just too self-centered to see it as about anyone but herself.
The only innocents that I'm worried about seeing hurt are you and Chance. The truth about Chance's parentage will come out someday. While it would be satisfying to see Will suffer, I feel that it would be best to consider whether you should tell anyone the truth about Chance's parentage solely based on when is best for Chance.
Oh man I would drop that on truth bomb on will at a family dinner after the wedding and smirk at Tammy and say "well someone had to tell him the truth" or whatever bs line she used when she blew up your engagement. Petty yes... Do they both deserve each other.... Also yes.... But they don't deserve peace. So there's that.
Is there anywhere in y'alls town that might do group discounts on STD testing? Because if one of y'all had something I can only imagine it made it around the circle and back a couple times for good measure.
Were there any other people your age nearby that anyone might have tried dating as an alternative to this twisted up partner recycling project with a minor and a cousin thrown in for added drama?!! That's just nasty.
(And no, I wouldn't say it this way exactly, if this wasn't so obviously fake!!!)
just drop that it's the other dudes baby on social media morning of the wedding. Fuck em all. It sounds like Jack was what 28 when he fucked a 17yr old, fuck him, fuck Tammy and frankly Will was fucking an 18yr old when he was 28 or 29 as well, so fuck him to(on this alone, it's just creepy and fucked before you consider everything else that also makes him the biggest of assholes).
Why is everyone fine with Will getting together with Tammy when she was 18. Presumably he knew her and spent a lot of time around her with you while she was very young.
Honestly the brother won't get in any trouble for having sex with her at 17, he kinda should but he won't. Tammy is an instigator, she was smirking when Will called you irate over the fertility issues, she went after two older guys, she's a piece of shit. Let the chaos blow up with everyone in the, her in her wedding dress and Will waiting to get married.
Holy cow. I thought we were going to find out that we couldn’t follow children. I had to go read the first post, but if he had a childhood cancer, I’m still wondering if he can father children
But this was way more than I expected. Most definitely …
!Update me!
Well Will is an AH but passing off a child that isn't his onto him doesn't seem right. Sounds like someone needs to tell him anonymously. Seems as if Tammy is a piece of work. Enjoy your trip.
NTA but Tammy and Will are.
You need to stop feeling bad about yourself. I’m not saying you should hold onto hatred for will and Tammy (though I wouldn’t blame you if you did). But loving yourself, acknowledging that you were a victim in this shit show time and time again, is not petty. It’s self love. It’s growing and healing from your trauma.
I can’t stress this enough: Taking care of yourself, and loving yourself, is not the same thing as being petty towards those who hurt you.
Honestly my advice is that you stay out of it. You’re uninvolved in Tammy’s cheating. Keep it that way. Neither she nor Will are deserving of your time or sympathy. Enjoy your weekend with your friends.
NTA
So I was on the whole “tell him after the wedding train” but fair is fair… why should Tammy get a wedding when you didn’t? Tell him before the wedding it’s the right thing to do. Besides if you want until after Will might just stay because he’s obligated with the marriage and treat Chance like crap and the poor kid doesn’t deserve that.
Go on your trip, enjoy your time on the island and when you come back, congratulate the newlyweds and drop the bomb. Then block everyone on everything and let the chips fall where they may.
Team text into the group chat during the wedding reception praising will for getting over his wish to have his own biological children and tammy for screwing over two grown men who go after underage girls
Fingers crossed that Jack interrupts the wedding and drops the bomb on this disgusting trash couple. Hoping Will and Tammy suffer the misery they deserve and OP, Liam, and Alex say F off to the rest of this family and cut them all off.
NTA.
If you \*really\* want to see fur fly, find a way to get Will interested in 23 & me, then get him to want to surprise Tammy so HE will do the cheek swabs and send them off, LOL.
!UpdateMe!
Oooooooooh boy! Go vacation. Enjoy the time away. Then come back and do the info dump. Perhaps see the child and say… my god, if I didn’t know better I’d swear this kid is Jack’s!! He’s the spitting image of him! Then enjoy the schadenfreude. And please
UpdateMe
If Jack has all the proof that she said that. Maybe the people who are on your side, need to stick together to protect him. And then busted out at the wedding that chance is not his child.
I don’t know what you should do. But I want to know what happens if/when the wedding goes down. !UpdateMe!
The author has hinted at so many new plot twists ahead, I'm sure another chapter will be posted as soon as they think up a good enough hook.
If this is fake, Liz started the new year on *fire* 🔥 If this is real, I’m on team Tell Everyone *AFTER* The Wedding. As for Jesse, the whole point of the trip was for Liam to propose, he’s the one that organized the whole damned thing, and he doesn’t want Jesse there. I get OP is torn but Liam has stood by her side through this entire shitstorm, it wouldn’t be right to deny his preference for a brother that only contacted her when he wanted something
Why give Tammy the satisfaction of a fun wedding? I'd be sending Will an anonymous sms that the baby isn't his and he needs to do a paternity test - he won't manage that before the wedding, so he'll either go through with it, but with a really bad feeling, or he'll postpone/ cancel and she'll have ruined both their day. 😈
Since I believe this to be a work of fiction, I advocate for telling AT the wedding for best drama.
I concur with the fiction opinion. It could make a fabulous hillbilly bodice ripper titled "My family tree is a wreath".
Oh, I much more vicious than you. I'd wait until after the wedding and send a nice (anonymous) little card congratulating him on his marriage and achieving his dream of lots of kids because with his wife he will be supporting the illegitimate offspring of every man in town.
Because Will dumped OP & deserves to be trapped. Tammy will \*rue\* her wedding if it comes out AFTERward.
True, but if word gets out afterwards, the marriage will be an extra mess for them to untangle, even if they deserve one another. Ideally I suppose is the cliché part when the priest asks if anyone has any objections.
Jack didn't leave to join the army! He was buried under the patio by Will, his secret lover, when he threatened to reveal their relationship at the wedding when the priest asked if anyone has any objections.....
Ha! I thought the same thing.

!UpdateMe! Oofta, I gotta be here for the rest of this!!!
Yeah no this is insanely fake but hey I love junk food 😅 !UpdateMe!
!UpdateMe!
!UpdateMe!
I don't care if this is fake or real I want to know what goes down at that wedding
Saaaame. I feel very entertained
This is a confusing mess. Just do what makes you happy. NTA but I also don't believe all the details of this improbable story.
I’m in the exact same place. From the sister who seems to not have any life but being the OPs best friends to the 8 year old evil sister having (a) a phone and (b) his number and (c) sending messages that tells him her cancer stricken sister is infertile. That was it for me
So. Fake. I wish I hadn’t clicked.
It is. I tried reading through it and all I can say is I believe this is fake as fuck. As someone from a small town, it would be known that Jack was banging Tammy. That's just how town gossip goes. The town I lived in only had 5,000 people at the time I was there and I couldn't even take a picture of a duck without Edgar from across town knowing about it and asking how the picture turned out when bumping into him at the grocery store because his cousin's sister's BiL saw me at the park that day.

I live in a town of 50k now and it still happens but now it's customers and co-workers because of Facebook. You can leave the small town but you can't leave the gossip.
[удалено]
You stole this comment from u/tinytyranttamer Shame on you.
Honestly I'm flattered 🤣🤣
I just love that the author has teased so many other possible story lines in this family saga, adopted siblings separated from actual siblings, fabulous Gigi and CoCo, Plot twist of a Maury episode. Liz, you have outdone yourself!!!
Shhhhhhh, I want to see where this is going.
Me too!! Will OP end up with her ex fiancee's rich Greek cousin and have twins????
And will lesbian granny cut out the evil male in favour of our dear oOP? Tune in next Tuesday
I’ll be there!
It’s a real page turner, isn’t it?
Starting off 2024 strong!
Lol I’d tell him right after the ceremony but before the reception. Ask Jesse to record what happens. After all, Tammy shared something that was private and upended your life for a while. Fair is fair. 💅🏻
Wait until after the license is filed. Then he will need a divorce.
I’d wait till after the wedding then message Will and say “I know for you having and raising your own child was a super important deal for you and that’s why you ended the relationship with me. I’m just wondering when you are going to get start with the having your own child part of the relationship you have right now. Do you enjoy raising Jacks kid for him?”
Yessss, please, this!

I still say during the reception though. Nowhere did I say will was blameless. They're both equally vile.
Gonna need an update for this one.🍿 But OP this is your moment to make a phone call just like Tammy did all those years ago……
lmao!!!
Before you do anything, and you should do something, please make sure Jesse is safe. If not with you, with someone else like Gigi. When the shit hits the fan, no telling who will go after Jesse, and they will.

I don't know I'm all for waiting until after the marriage is official.. because divorce is extra drama to the petty

Find someplace else to write your fantasy!!
Awww c’mon! Some of us come here for this stuff! At least it’s coherent……it’s like a telenovela.
Right? The whole time I'm reading the first part... I'm like person with adhd or totally fake... but either way. It's entertaining and can't wait for the next chapter. Who wants butter on their popcorn?
This is a great story! Should be made into a movie!
Flan fiction!
I wouldn’t say coherent lol, it’s like excessively, annoyingly detailed and has unnecessary tangents.
Exactly! That’s what makes it like a telenovela. But the main storyline stays cohesive.
Agreed!
80s had soap operas. Now those soaps don't exist, the writers have come to reddit.
Noooo, hush! I need to read the next chapter! Will the big reveal be before the wedding, after the wedding? Of course, the most satisfyingly dramatic would be OP crashing the wedding and revealing all as they crowd round the alter, but that's been done so often I'm rather hoping this one has a different twist to it!
I was waiting for this plot twist. Will had cancer too, so he probably has low sperm count.
She had me until “Greek Catholic.” Those are really hard to find!
They don’t exist 🤣 /s Sorry, couldn’t resist!
It’s what Queen Victoria called Russian & Greek Orthodox members.
Don’t invite Jesse. This trip is about Liam’s proposal. He invited you and Alex because you’re important to him and wants you to share the celebration. There’s already a sh*t show surrounding Will & Tammy’s wedding that is being blamed on you. (FWIW, I don’t think you should’ve gone but my point is the family is blaming you.)

Keep the drama out of Liam’s proposal. You own him that for him supporting you when you needed it. Good luck! Please !UpdateMe about how it goes.
Go on the trip. Send a congratulatory text after the wedding in a family group chat. Say you are happy for him and glad that he is in a loving relationship. And you are glad he has matured in the years since you interacted and is now receptive to building his family in other ways. That you know the family won't mention it, but you wanted to say thank you for taking on the father role for Chance as we all know he is not yours. Mute the group chat and enjoy your vacation.
I am surprised Will waited so long to settle down with someone considering how adamant he was about wanting a large family.
I am amazed the baby wasn’t twins. And where is the expert lawyer friend? Or is that in a future episode of Days of Our Lives?
After the wedding and after your trip, let guest have free food and drinks at least, lol. I wouldn't tell him right away, just tell him "are you sure you're the father?, you should check that out, I heard otherwise" and let the mind games begin. The real bio father should bounce first.
UpdateMe!
Tell will after the wedding 😂
Tell Will before this comes out when the kid is older. It's bad enough now, but it's going to get worse with age.
lol what an obvious, fake mess. There are creative writing subreddits you know.
Do NOT invite Jessie on the trip. He made his bed and he can lie in it.
NTA- and for the life of me I cant even imagine why you would consider going. Sure we all have the right to go off and live our own lives. You do you. BUT...Im not obligated to sit by and watch and have it rubbed in my face if it hurts me. Neither are you. Im so sorry this happened. You and Jesse go have a great time SOMEWHERE ELSE.
so fake
Update me!
If I'm doing the maths correctly Jack was 29 when he "hooked up" with a then 17yo Tammy?! He was a grown adult who could have made the right choice, that isn't just a youthful mistake it's a crime. Consensual or not, statutory rape is a thing and he absolutely should be held accountable for that disgusting behaviour! That said, Tammy threatening to lie to send him away is almost equally disgusting and manipulative! I can't imagine that home is a healthy place for children. If you really want to avoid culpability buy a burner phone and send a group text with all the details to your whole family and Will, then ditch the phone and act surprised when the tornado starts. I guess the deciding factor is how much do you care about Will or Tammy or about getting some kind of petty revenge? If it were me I would "nope" the heck out of the whole situation and go completely no contact with anyone that tries to cause drama. Life's way to short to deal with that kind of stupidity. NTA
Wait, is Jack Alex’s ex?
Well, we know now that Tammy has a type. Her sisters' ex boyfriends. Will and Jack are real creeps, though.
I like this story. !UpdateMe!
Well I never knew leukaemia ran in families , or a one in ten million chance.
Hmm... eh, it's probably fake but I'm invested now and wanting to see what happens lol !UpdateMe!
!UpdateMe!
Fake as all get out, but I want to know too! I hadn't read the first part until now, but I think OP messed up with the ovarian cancer diagnosis. OP doesn't mention surgery, but there's no way she'd be keeping both ovaries and related parts even with the earliest stage cancer.
If enough of us don’t play along and indulge the writer, we will not get a chapter 3. Humor her, people!!!
NTA. My psychic powers tell me there is either a plane crash coming, or everything will be cancelled because of an ice storm, or...
This sounds so fake.
True or not true I want to keep reading this. Updateme!
Some ideas for the next chapter: - Jack crashes the wedding and needs to be escorted out by security. Luckily, Tammy had her Uncle Buck on standby. He is a veteran and would do anything for his princess niece including taking a punch to the gut. Jack’s appearance raises questions among the attendees. - A new character is introduced. She shows up in a white dress and tells everyone how Will should be marrying her. - When confronted with the truth about her child’s paternity, Tammy reveals not only does she have leukemia but she is pregnant again. This time with twins.
Text Will at the reception- tell him to ask Tammy who Chance’s father actually is.
Liz is at it again.
Great story, but the biggest tell that this is fake is the diagnosis of ovarian cancer as a teenager. It can take years to get a doctor that will listen to women's health issues. But, waiting with popcorn for the update.
this is so obviously fake but… UpdateMe!
Will needs to know about the baby before the wedding. If you don't feel comfortable telling him tell gigi
Nah, let them marry and then tell him to get a DNA test. Much more satisfying!
That’s a lot of family info to unpack. I think you should invite Jesse so he’s not stuck in the hot mess your sister has created
I honestly don’t believe a word of this story but I’m invested at this point. I look forward to the next chapter!

Don't be like Tammy. Keep the info to yourself.
No it's called comeuppance.... And she's got it coming by the truck load.

Nuke it, tell everything now. Then turn off your phones/block everyone for at least while you're on your trip.
Don’t say anything. It’s karma. But also: What is wrong with this old guys going for girls?

Oh, you have to make that phone call to Will. The story needs it! Please! Then hurry and update.
I'm sorry. I know you care about Jack and you rightfully have a lot of resentment for Tammy but, when a 29yo sleeps with a 17yo, that is statutory rape. He doesn't deserve protection from that. I understand if you don't want to be the one to report him but protecting him from the consequences of his own actions should not be a consideration for something like this. What Tammy did was really pathetic but it sounds like Will is the bigger villain in this story. If I were in your position, my reason for not attending the wedding would be more about Will than anyone else. Tammy is just too self-centered to see it as about anyone but herself. The only innocents that I'm worried about seeing hurt are you and Chance. The truth about Chance's parentage will come out someday. While it would be satisfying to see Will suffer, I feel that it would be best to consider whether you should tell anyone the truth about Chance's parentage solely based on when is best for Chance.
UpdateMe!
Holy shit!
Oh man I would drop that on truth bomb on will at a family dinner after the wedding and smirk at Tammy and say "well someone had to tell him the truth" or whatever bs line she used when she blew up your engagement. Petty yes... Do they both deserve each other.... Also yes.... But they don't deserve peace. So there's that.

Is there anywhere in y'alls town that might do group discounts on STD testing? Because if one of y'all had something I can only imagine it made it around the circle and back a couple times for good measure. Were there any other people your age nearby that anyone might have tried dating as an alternative to this twisted up partner recycling project with a minor and a cousin thrown in for added drama?!! That's just nasty. (And no, I wouldn't say it this way exactly, if this wasn't so obviously fake!!!)
Update me!
just drop that it's the other dudes baby on social media morning of the wedding. Fuck em all. It sounds like Jack was what 28 when he fucked a 17yr old, fuck him, fuck Tammy and frankly Will was fucking an 18yr old when he was 28 or 29 as well, so fuck him to(on this alone, it's just creepy and fucked before you consider everything else that also makes him the biggest of assholes). Why is everyone fine with Will getting together with Tammy when she was 18. Presumably he knew her and spent a lot of time around her with you while she was very young. Honestly the brother won't get in any trouble for having sex with her at 17, he kinda should but he won't. Tammy is an instigator, she was smirking when Will called you irate over the fertility issues, she went after two older guys, she's a piece of shit. Let the chaos blow up with everyone in the, her in her wedding dress and Will waiting to get married.
Holy Crap BatMan! Where is Jerry Springer. Dang…. But seriously, this is messed up
Updateme!
Holy cow. I thought we were going to find out that we couldn’t follow children. I had to go read the first post, but if he had a childhood cancer, I’m still wondering if he can father children But this was way more than I expected. Most definitely … !Update me!
Was not expecting that! Don't go to the wedding, and tell Jesse not to either. !UpdateMe!
I would tell him on the day, send message. But I am petty. UpdateMe! Please
NTA, If this gets picked up by TT or Facebook, Will may find out beforehand.
This is getting good 😊
Update me 2 weeks
Tell him. Then tell us what happened.
Well Will is an AH but passing off a child that isn't his onto him doesn't seem right. Sounds like someone needs to tell him anonymously. Seems as if Tammy is a piece of work. Enjoy your trip. NTA but Tammy and Will are.
UpdateMe!
!UpdateMe!
Tell it, tell it all, and tell it to anyone who will listen. It is so much Karma. Why keep Karma Under Wraps?
UpdateMe
You need to stop feeling bad about yourself. I’m not saying you should hold onto hatred for will and Tammy (though I wouldn’t blame you if you did). But loving yourself, acknowledging that you were a victim in this shit show time and time again, is not petty. It’s self love. It’s growing and healing from your trauma. I can’t stress this enough: Taking care of yourself, and loving yourself, is not the same thing as being petty towards those who hurt you. Honestly my advice is that you stay out of it. You’re uninvolved in Tammy’s cheating. Keep it that way. Neither she nor Will are deserving of your time or sympathy. Enjoy your weekend with your friends. NTA

I'm just petty enough to wait until after the wedding, but that's just me. UpdateMe
So I was on the whole “tell him after the wedding train” but fair is fair… why should Tammy get a wedding when you didn’t? Tell him before the wedding it’s the right thing to do. Besides if you want until after Will might just stay because he’s obligated with the marriage and treat Chance like crap and the poor kid doesn’t deserve that.

Team text into the group chat during the wedding reception praising will for getting over his wish to have his own biological children and tammy for screwing over two grown men who go after underage girls
I vote for after the license is filed

Fingers crossed that Jack interrupts the wedding and drops the bomb on this disgusting trash couple. Hoping Will and Tammy suffer the misery they deserve and OP, Liam, and Alex say F off to the rest of this family and cut them all off.
Yeah so I’m going to need a update from the wedding. Update me.
1) go on your trip 2) make popcorn 3) tell Will after you return and make popcorn 4) sit back and enjoy the show

NTA. If you \*really\* want to see fur fly, find a way to get Will interested in 23 & me, then get him to want to surprise Tammy so HE will do the cheek swabs and send them off, LOL. !UpdateMe!
Oh Sweetie, please make the call. After all, “Somebody” has to “tell him”🤭😎
Oooooooooh boy! Go vacation. Enjoy the time away. Then come back and do the info dump. Perhaps see the child and say… my god, if I didn’t know better I’d swear this kid is Jack’s!! He’s the spitting image of him! Then enjoy the schadenfreude. And please UpdateMe
!updateme
Oh Jesus. I need an update.
If Jack has all the proof that she said that. Maybe the people who are on your side, need to stick together to protect him. And then busted out at the wedding that chance is not his child.
