Who cares what he thinks or says. A person like that is just trying to make himself feel better and reassure himself that he's better. Ha. He's a tard and karma is a bitch.

You've known him forever. He's practically your cousin. He's a DB.

Stop now. Move on.

He found out I knew everything and he called and me and tried to deny everything he said and not even admit to it. He said " I love you as my own son, I would never say something like that about your family and you, tell your father to contact me i want to talk to him"
I'm just going to move on and not even bother with his family or sons again. I don't want to ruin my career with a case.

Thanks for the advise gentlemen I really appreciate it, I just need to vent for a few days and now im good.

I have a distant aunt who's similar to DB. My mom paid cash for a '99 Camry LE in 1999 as an affordable daily driver. My distant aunt, not to be outshown, leased a 2000 Camry CE just so she could put her head up high toward my family.

I have a super cheap uncle who consistently tries to get our stuff for a discount or free whenever we're in need of an upgrade or replacement for anything from furniture to cars. He can't outwardly show us up in wealth, so he compares his children to me and my sister in everything: SAT scores, under-grad ranking, grad school ranking, GPA, awards. He would just spew it out when it has nothing to do with the conversation. The douche even claimed his daughter was super smart in buying an overly riced out Eclipse back in 2001 that had $50k worth of mods for $20k. Not to mention, he told everyone it was a $40k Lexus. The car caught on fire in the middle of the freeway and melted engine.

Needless to say, I'm not very close to my extended family.

yeah Ckit said it best

just distant yourself from DB, soon others will follow, and then DB will be all by his lonesome and wonder why nobody hangs out with him.

you dont need to be around people like that.

sorry about your situation homie, keep your head up and you and your family will make it through

Who cares honestly. He sounds like he is fixated by 'things' as an indication of success. People like that never have a good quality of life because dep down he always feels inferior because he doesn't have the biggest house, doesn't have the newest car. I'd just feel sorry for him.

There's more to life than having a big house. The USA is arguably a country in decline with massive debt to China, a shrinking middle class, loss of manufacturing industries. So a lot of Americans will once again have to learn how to enjoy life differently - living for family/friends/lovers and not basing their life satisfaction on house large their house is.

At least he had some shame and remorse after being found out.

Maybe he was just trying to look cool in front of his son? You know how the stupid comes out when you're trying to impress people sometimes?

The bigger man would forgive. Forgetting is not necessary...
