AITA for cussing out my in-laws for going through my luggage? I recently got engaged and took some time off to visit our parents and start planning. First stop was mine and then his. I suffer from chronic pain and take a variety of meds which cause a decrease in appetite and nausea. I haven’t disclosed my illness to my in-laws, but a few nights ago I could hear her complaining about how I’m too good to eat what they cook. I let it go. Yesterday, fiancé took me around his hometown. On the way back, he remembered to get beer, but we were already pulling into the driveway. I was tired, so he dropped me off. His parents were waiting for me in the living room, angry. Future mother-in-law - FMIL: You really think you can pull the wool over our eyes, don’t you? You think you can bring drugs into our house?! Me: motioning to a seat because my legs hurt FMIL: No no! You stand! How dare you bring this disgusting bullshit into our house! I reach for my cellphone and she yells at me to keep my hands at my side. FMIL: I don’t care how legal this stuff is. We don’t allow this garbage in our house! She pulls out a plastic wrapped package and I immediately know what it is. My husband took a bite out of it and got sick! I’m pissed off right now because this was at the bottom of my luggage! And then she starts going off about how many pills I take (again, wouldn’t know if you hadn’t gone through my stuff) and how her son doesn’t deserve a druggie. She takes my package and shows me where FFIL took a few bites and threw up soon after. It’s been 10 minutes and my fiancé is back. His mom asks him if he knows all the medication I’m on and how I brought pot into their house. He can’t get a straight answer about how they know about my medicine, but then he glances at the package and just sighs. Fiancé: Mom, it’s soap. Even says African Black Soap. He broke off a piece, headed to the kitchen, and washed his hands with it, showing them the lather. FMIL fired back saying that she’s never seen soap like that and that this doesn’t explain the amount of meds I take. They say they’re justified in what they did because they want the best for their son and since it’s their house they can go through personal belongings at will. I let them have it. I start screaming and cussing because I’m exhausted and tired. I can’t remember everything I said, but my throat has been a mess from all of the screaming. FFIL tried to give me back the soap, but I kind of threw it at him saying I didn’t want his gum disease. Terrible, I know. We’re staying at a hotel and not talking to his parents. I feel I could have gone about it better. I wanted a good relationship with my in-laws and we’ve always kind of gotten along... now I feel like I hosed up badly. TL;DR: future in-laws went through my luggage and mistook soap for an edible. I cussed them out and offended them and now I feel like I burned a major bridge.

AITA for refusing to replace a drink that my toddler knocked over because the girl was rude. I was at baggage claim at the airport with my son, who’s 3. We were leaving and as we’re walking away, this girl yells “excuse me!” At me. I turn and she points to her Starbucks drink which is spilled on the floor and says “your kid did that.” I ask my son if he spilled it and he said he bumped it. The girl says “it was $5” and looks at me expectantly. I was pissed about how rude she was and the way she was just looking at me and expecting me to pay for her mocha frappa-whatever without even asking, so I just shrugged and walked away. My partner called me an rear end in a top hat when I told her the story. AITA?

They are totally in the wrong for going through your poo poo, but a sad fact of life is that you may as well hit the eject button now because after cussing them out you have torpedoed any chance you might have had at a normal relationship with your in laws. And you do NOT want to have a hosed up relationship with your spouse's family, especially if you wind up having kids.

There's a lot of stdh.txt that happens on reddit, with people being wronged in such a comically over the top fashion and how the perpetrators get their comeuppance. But this, not a whiff of it! And there's nothing not to love. One bit she missed out on at the time, is that the parents, upon finding drugs they officially don't approve of, immediately try to steal and consume them. And then rapidly backpedal when it's not a good trip. I love it so muuch, unf.

Most of the people super-paranoid about drugs are basically doing it out of jealousy, I'm sure. And/or get all their ideas about drugs from TV where you taste the cocaine.

My (23F) boyfriend (25M) doesn't say my name ever because it's his grandmother's name. Hey reddit people. I'm in need of some advice. My boyfriend and I are overall very happy together. We've been seeing each other for just a few months. Things are great, except there's one thing that's been bothering me. He never says my name ever. He says it's because my name is also his grandmother's name, and she basically raised him. She's a really important person in his life and apparently my name makes him think about her. I'd sort of get it if it was just during intimate time but it's all the time. Now this may be the core of the issue. I've always been a little insecure about having an old lady name. For anonymity's sake, I won't say it here, but think of an old lady name and there's a decent chance that's my name. I was named after my great aunt. I've never thought it was a particularly attractive name, but I guess I guess I was hoping that he would like it because it's my name. He's been calling me baby a lot, which is fine, but I wish we could either come up with a nickname that's kind of like my name or that he'd at least say it sometimes. Thanks in advance for any advice! TL;DR My boyfriend won't say my name because it's his grandmother's name and it's really getting at one of my insecurities.

My SO (26F) doesn't seem to be happy with her engagement ring. Should I (30M) offer to upgrade it next year? My SO and I have been together for years and have a very happy relationship. Before I go further, I just want to add that she is level headed and not materialistic. She's also sensible with money. However, I've noticed that ever since I proposed, she's never really shown her ring to anyone unless asked. She even keeps her hands firmly in her pocket and reluctantly gets it out when someone asks her. I got her a 1 carat ring as it was all I could afford. I thought she was happy but not sure anymore, especially after we went to her sister's, who joked that maybe she could get an upgrade soon. Now instead of saying that she was happy with her ring, my fiancée nervously laughed and it was embarrassing for me. I am aware that her sister and her friends have larger diamonds. However, the choice was between proposing now or waiting until next year so that I had enough savings. I don't want to get carried away with negative emotions, because she has always been wonderful and a great partner. Should I offer to upgrade her ring sometime next year? That's the earliest I'd be able to do it. I want her to be happy and not embarrassed with the ring. She's not directly said anything but doesn't seem happy with it. TLDR: My SO doesn't seem happy with her engagement ring. Should I offer to upgrade it next year?
