I (38M) have been with my husband (31M) for 5 years. My husband ‘Elliot’ has always been a child at heart, he’s the type of guy who loves video games and such, and that’s something in common he has with my nephew ‘Jake’ (16M). Jake is my brother’s son. My brother and I aren’t that close, we don’t match well but still we try to not argue. Recently my niece had her birthday party and there was a pool. This pool was really big and around 8 feet in the deepest part. Jake, along with another nephew and two nieces (all teenagers) were playing around but sometimes they tend to play rough, so naturally their mother was telling them to stop or someone could get hurt.

At one moment my brother’s wife was annoyed, told Jake and the kids to stop it, but minutes later he decided that it would be fun and a good idea to throw my husband into the pool. Elliot was thrown to the deepest part, he knows how to swim but was in shock. He wasn’t expecting that, everyone thought it wasn’t big deal until he couldn’t make it out of the pool.

My other nephew and I got him out of the pool, he was disoriented but was mostly alright, besides the few bruises he got. I lost it and screamed at Jake, asked him if he was mentally compromised and told him that he was out of his mind. My brother eventually told me to cut it off, that everything was alright. I told my brother ‘tell your son to get out of my way, I don’t want to see him’, but that was it

Later at night my brother’s wife came to apologize, but my father and a few members of my family think that we’re making a big deal about it…
