My cousin got married a few days ago. We had about 10 cars at the reception. My husband is in his 30’s and he’s really obsessed with his car. He got it brand new and his the only person who drives it. I drive my own car.<br><br><br><br>I had a small argument with my husband days before the wedding about something silly. basically he said I wore too much makeup and it made me look like a clown. I laughed it off but he insisted and told me that I look prettier with minimal to no makeup. I told him that he has no right to tell me that because he wears a lot of cologne that makes him smell like a grandma. He said that my cousin told him the same thing when he saw us at the mall. My cousin doesn’t really like my husband and it really made my husband upset when he first heard it and it also made him upset when I repeated it back to him when he was bugging me about the makeup. He said that my cousin was calling him a “grandpa” behind his back. I denied it but he believed me less when I denied it the more. He was so annoyed at it so he said he’s not going to bring his car to the reception anymore and called my cousin to tell him. He then hung up the phone and told me that he’s still bringing his car but my cousin is going to be carpooling to the reception because he’s “not his grandpa who owns a 1998 Honda civic.” This made me laugh. my husband refused to tell my cousin what he said exactly. I’m not sure what he meant but my cousin owns a 1998 Honda civic.<br><br><br>The reception went well and everyone was there and back home safe. On Monday, my cousin was over at our place and thanked my husband for letting him use his car that day. I was busy in the kitchen when I heard my husband yell and get mad at my cousin for thinking that he let him use his car. He really went off on my cousin and accused him of lying about the grandpa comment. This had been going on for about five minutes when I was done with whatever I was doing. My cousin looked really upset and asked my husband why he gave him the keys if he was going to go off on him for no reason at all. My husband said he didn’t give him the keys. My cousin said it was definitely my husband who gave him the car keys. My husband called my cousin a liar. My cousin went out to the back to grab a paper from his bag. My husband yelled at him for not taking his shoes off and accused him of trying to steal something from our my house. My cousin looked like he was going to cry. when he came back in, he showed my husband the keys and my husband began to silent and his face went pale white. He asked where he got that and my cousin said he asked my husband if he could borrow his car and my husband my husband showed him the keys in his pocket and gave them to him. My cousin asked my husband if he really didn’t remember. My husband kept insisting it wasn’t him despite the fact that the keys in my cousin’s hand were his. My cousin started to get mad at my husband and asked if he was playing a prank on him. He then said that he called my husband the night before the wedding and my husband told him that he sold his car to an old man but he’d let him borrow the old man’s car and that he’ll give it to him in the morning but only if he promised that he’d never lie to him again. Why husband kept insisting he didn’t sell his car and didn’t let my cousin borrow the car. At this point, I was mad at both of them and told them to just take the keys and go home. They both were yelling over each other and it was a mess. My cousin left mad so did my husband but not before I told him that it was BS. He came back a few hours and said that the night before the wedding, he was drunk and walking alone and he got mugged. The man took his keys but he got them back. when my cousin called, he answered and thought my cousin was the old man who mugged him. He said he thought he donated his car accidentally and felt sad that he didn’t get any money. he said he was confused and he told my cousin to never lie again and if he promised, he’ll give him the car he donated and that’s why he gave my cousin the keys the next day. I didn’t really believe him but I told him to drop it at that. He then kept insisting that he didn’t sell his car. I told him that it was no big deal for my cousin to borrow his precious car for a day but he kept saying he didn’t really let him borrow his car. it was already midnight and I was tired and didn’t want to argue anymore so I went to sleep in the other room so I wouldn’t have to listen to my husband argue with himself. The next morning, my husband woke me up and said that he’s really tired and asked what he said/did last night that mad me. I told him that he was lying and accusing my cousin of lying and stealing his car keys. he said he didn’t remember. I told him and his face went pale white. I told him to go outside in the garage and check his cars. He went and came back and said what car was he looking for? I told him his baby and he really started to panic. he was walking around like a chicken without a head. He then looked and found his car at my cousin’s house. He came back and said he didn’t sell his car. I got mad and yelled at him and asked why he said that when his car was at my cousin’s house and how he’s going to get it back. He then said that so my cousin can give it back to him. I told him that the car my cousin borrowed was not his car. My cousin was driving a black Acura when he came over and when he left and the car at his house was a black Acura. My husband really started to panic and then he said that he doesn’t know what happened and he’s really tired. he asked me to call my cousin and ask him about his car. I asked him how I’m going to ask him and he said, “I don’t know but do it.” and then he went to the garage for hours. I really can’t deal with this anymore so I called my cousin and asked if my husband sold his car to the wrong person or how much money he got. He asked me questions and I told him what my husband told me. He started to get mad and asked if my husband accused him of stealing his car again. I told him tell me what really happened so I can tell my husband. he said that he called my husband the night before the wedding and told him that he saw two old men looking at his car in front of the mall. my cousin joked and said “grandpa car”. He told me that he then said “make sure not to sell it to them and that he likes the car and he’d buy it at a really good price if my husband ever decides to sell it” and my husband said back “oh, you think I’d sell it to an old man?” And my cousin said back “so you’re selling it?” and my husband said back “yeah, it’s not really my style anymore. but you said you liked it, do you want to buy it or should I sell it to the old men?” my cousin said back “yeah sure, I’ll buy it” and my husband said “oh you want to buy it despite the fact you told me and your mom that I’m a grandpa?” my cousin said back that “you look like one but I really love the car and I’ll buy it from you. how much?” My husband said back that he got it for 60,000 but he’ll sell it for 59,000. My cousin was surprised but he said okay and my husband said back that he’ll give him the car keys the next morning but only if he promises to never call him a grandpa again, lie to him, or sell the car to an old man so my cousin promised and my husband my husband hung up. the next morning, my husband was drunk and sleeping on the couch in the living room. my cousin came over and my husband woke up. my cousin told my husband that he was there for the keys and how much money he owed so my husband gave my cousin the keys. My cousin said back that he doesn’t have 59,000 on him so my husband said back that he’d be okay with 34,500. so my cousin gave him 34,500. my cousin was about to leave when my hubby said back that he got the money, the car keys, the promise but the most important thing he forgot was the papers. My cousin was mad and told my husband that he’s a grandpa for selling his car to him. my husband said back that he liked my cousin’s tie so much that he’d throw the papers in for free. so my husband went to the drawer, got the car papers, and gave them to my cousin. My cousin told me that at that moment, he really wanted to punch my husband but he said he had to have the papers so he took them. He then said that he drove his car to the reception and back home and he couldn’t stop smiling. He said that now he really regrets not punching my husband. My cousin said that my husband kept calling and texting him so he said he’s going to tell my husband to come get his car and tell him that he’s going to call the police on him if he says anything bad to him.<br><br><br><br>I called my husband in the kitchen so he can hear what my
