AITAH for refusing to remove a piece of jewelry at the request of my friend on her wedding day?

My (31f) friend (30f), we’ll call Mary, got married last week and I was in her bridal party. For context, we are friends from high school and all of her other bridesmaids were her friends from college who I hadn’t met until her Bachelorette party several months ago. I also wasn’t familiar with anyone at this wedding outside of Mary’s immediate family.

I was supposed to attend the wedding with my own fiancé but he contracted Covid 5 days before we were supposed to leave and made the choice to stay home for everyone’s safety (I tested negative and we don’t live together). Our 5th anniversary of our first date was 2 months ago and he got me a beautiful opal necklace on a gold chain specifically to wear to the wedding because it complimented my bridesmaid dress. I asked Mary in our bridal party group chat if she was alright with us wearing our own jewelry to the wedding, she said no problem.

Day of the wedding comes, all of us bridesmaids and Mary meet early in the morning for pictures outside the chapel. Mary sees my necklace and loves it, and actually asked if she could switch her necklace with mine. Some other bridesmaids chime in and say that it would be her “something borrowed”. I tried as politely as I could to tell her that my fiancé got this for me to wear to the wedding and especially since he can’t be here, I’d like to keep it on. Mary and the other bridesmaids were persistent, saying it was her wedding and her pictures and I wasn’t being accommodating, but I firmly told them no. Mary then said if I could at least take it off since it looked nicer than her own jewelry. Again, I told her I’d rather not, I’d like to share the wedding photos of myself in the necklace with my fiancé. She was not happy, neither of the bridesmaids were either. I received a lot of cold shoulders and dirty looks at the ceremony and reception. I felt awful. After the first dance, Mary’s sister came up to me to tell just how upset Mary was and rude it was that I upset her so on her big day.

Am I an rear end in a top hat? It’s been more than a week and I’m still thinking about it nonstop and Mary hasn’t answered any of my texts.

OP posted a picture of this exquisite piece of fine jewellery....

One upside of :decorum: is that you can sometimes weaponise it in cases like this to make people have to deal with their own poo poo. Though can be a crapshoot given how many people will instantly discard the decorum they otherwise enforce on everyone else the moment they don't get their way.

The wife is the rear end in a top hat in context, but making significant financial decisions without consulting your partner is just plain bad relationshipping either way. Using a five figure purchase as a surprise gift because commercials make it seem like a fun idea is all sorts of bad decision making.

AITA for commissioning fetish art of an acquaintance's GF?

quote:

A friend of a friend has a girlfriend that I find insanely attractive. I would also like to imagine that I am not a creep and have been nothing but respectful to the two of them in all my dealings, but I did do something that is making my definitely rethink whether I overstepped.

I've got a fetish. Whatever you think it is, it's probably not that. I mean I've got one of those "how could someone even see that in a sexual light" fetishes, the kind you only find in the depths of deviantart. I wouldn't call it gross or immoral, just... very strange. And I understand people who may have an inherent feeling of revulsion when they find out that I am sexually attracted to this concept.

The fetish community I'm in is small, anonymous, tight-knit and supports a thriving community of artists who draw works featuring this fetish (it's... debatable if you could even call it porn just because it's so weird and so niche and only a small amount of weirdos like me get off on it). I started commissioning fetish art occasionally it was common to send the artists a reference picture of a "model". I put "model" in quotes because it's pretty normalized to just take a picture of a hot woman off instagram regardless of whether or not they're explicitly professional models.

And it just so happens that recently my acquaintance's GF had made an instagram post where I felt she looked particularly stunning so I sent it to the artist and asked them to use it as a reference pic. The art I got back pretty much just uses her pose and physique for reference; the character's face and hair are totally different and there's nothing like a tattoo that could identify her. But I did allow the artist to post the artwork publicly... and it escaped my tiny little fetish community somehow because I was confronted by the friend for whom the friend is a friend on this matter, and their first comparison was to a "creepshot", like an upskirt pic, which I do resent. It's definitely gotten back to the acquaintance and his GF as they blocked me on all social media.

I can understand it's weird to find out that someone you know not only has a weird fetish and also finds your partner to be "sexy." One could drag out the old canard of "if women didn't want to be lusted over on the internet they wouldn't put sexy pictures of themselves on it" but I think there's an additional wrinkle because I think most would agree that the original IG picture was not sexy for the general public and only hits for people with my kink.

It would be one thing if I was just straight up caught jacking it to a picture of my friend’s GF, I get that. But am I wrong that creating a whole transformative work absolves me a bit? The image was freely available and theoretically anyone else in my fetish community could’ve stumbled on that same image and commissioned art based on it, so my specific relation to the subject is probably what determines if I am or am not an rear end in a top hat.

Despite using a burner, OP's being lovely and coy and hasn't provided any useful information on what the fetish is. Comedy answer is this is the wonderbread guy, but there's no way he'd even pretend he felt bad about being a creep.

What are peoples' guesses about the fetish in question? It's something he thinks doesn't clock as sexual, is somewhat obscure, and a picture of someone doing it looks innocuous. My guess is his friend's gf was smoking a cigarette.

He slips towards the end and says that the original unaltered image also fit his kink ("the original IG picture was not sexy for the general public and only hits for people with my kink").

My guess is amputee fetish, and she was in a pose that hid an arm or leg from the camera. And the 'transformative' art is basically just a bad trace job, because people who pay for kink art often have tragically low standards.

Translating from ponytail to English, I think what he means is the friend, through whom he knows the acquaintance with the hot gf, confronted him on his behavior.

There is a 0% chance OP is in any way subtle about whatever his fetish is.

It's probably something like that, but I don't know how well that specifically fits. I struggle to think of an innocuous "feeling cute today" public instagram post would be an obvious trigger for someone to say "man, this image has gotta be jokerized" but perhaps that's a deficiency on my part.

Amputee, giantess, and vore are also very sound guesses.

I assume it's the same guy that was turned on by white crew socks. Also I caught up on the thread !:toot:

Neighbor assumed someone spent the night while my husband was gone, which lead to his Christmas surprise being ruined


quote:

I'm not really sure if this is the best place to post this. I'm also not sure how to move forward with my neighbor after this incident. We're very close friends with our neighbors, which makes this so much worse.

My husband was out of town for work last week. It's not often that he needs to leave town. I took advantage of the opportunity to finally get a boudoir shoot done. I thought it would be a fun Christmas present for my husband. I used a local photographer that I know through friends, a female. She came over around 10 in the morning.

So flash forwards to last night. We were hanging out at the neighbors with a few other friends. They asked how my husband's trip was. After he answered my female neighbor says " (my name) had fun while you were gone too. Who was in the black truck?". I told her a friend from work. She said that when she woke up there was a black truck in my driveway and that obviously someone had spent the night. I tried to explain myself without giving away the surprise. I said that no one spent the night and that a friend had come to hangout.

Her husband called her nosey and told her that it was really rude and disrespectful to call me out. That she had no idea who was at my house or why and that she's making it sound like I cheated. She said that she didn't think I cheated, but then went on to say " I just thought it was suspicious that there was a truck there that early". Again, she was there at 10am so not early. I told her that I felt really hurt by her assumptions. That I would never have someone over that my husband wasn't ok with.

My husband didn't believe that it was a friend because he knows none of my coworkers have a black truck. He didn't say anything in front of them. He laughed it off and said he knows I wasn't cheating because we were on the phone until very late. When we got home he assured me that he doesn't think I cheated, but that he wanted to know who was over. I told him her name and he knew instantly what was going on. I had told him in the past that y wanted to do a shoot with her. I was upset and crying because I felt attacked by my neighbor and felt as though I was being accused of cheating. Plus, my surprise was now ruined.

Tonight my husband went over there, but I stayed home. I'm still pissed off. He told them who was over and that she's a photographer, and how I'm upset because my surprise for him is ruined. The neighbor doesn't think she ruined my surprise. That it's not her fault that my husband knows what type of photography this lady does. Our husbands told her that it was absolutely her fault because she was being nosey. That she needs to learn how to mind her own business.

I don't really want to be around her right now. Not only because my surprise was ruined, but also because I'm hurt. I can't believe she actually thinks I'd have another guy over. I don't really know how to move forward with her. Sorry this ended up being a lot longer than I intended.

Tl;dr my neighbor assumed someone spent the night which lead to me having to ruin a surprise for my husband

I (25F) want to break up with my terminally ill boyfriend (29M)

quote:

My boyfriend and I have been together for two years now. We've always had a really good relationship and I really have always loved him with all of my heart. A few months ago we found out that an illness he had been struggling about it terminal, giving him less than a year to live. This was probably the hardest thing either of us had ever heard, but I promised to stick by him no matter what, and to love him as hard as I could regardless.

Two weeks ago, he went back home to visit his family and in his words "tie up some loose ends." I offered to go with him to support him, but he insisted that he needed to go alone. We both grew up in this town, so I still have a lot of friends there. I got a call from an old friend of mine and she told me she saw him with his ex. I didn't think anything of it because given the circumstances, obviously you might have a lot to say to someone in that situation.

When he got back, I asked him how his trip went and he told me everything, but never mentioned her. I thought this was a little suspicious and when I asked him about it, he denied it. I pressed him further until he admitted to not only meeting up with her, but sleeping with her too.

I packed my things and left immediately. I'm staying at a hotel now, and I don't know what to do. I'm hurt beyond belief and want nothing to do with him. At the same time, he's texting me telling me that I have to forgive him because he doesn't have time for me to be upset, and I should just want him to be happy and I'm being selfish. I feel guilty, hurt, confused, and so incredibly lost. Am I wrong for being hurt? Should I just suck it up?

AITA for "disrespecting" our friend who died at a high school reunion?

quote:

When I was in high school we had a guy we called Cheeseburger. He was fat and hilarious, funniest guy I've ever met. We called him cheeseburger because he used to always talk about how much he wanted a cheeseburger. One day, the whole class came together and bought him cheeseburgers. He ate 4 cheeseburgers in a minute, which was the current world record for a time (furious pete set it) but now its 5 by some Filipino. That same day he also ate 67 burgers. I remember we were all pissed off he couldn't eat 2 more to get 69. Dude was a loving legend. He ate cheeseburgers like everyday. He also did comedy acts at items and was hilarious. He was on the rugby team, he was really fat but still able to run somewhat fast, dude was 193 cm and like 150 kg. Our rugby strategy was to give him teh ball and just line up behind him he'd just push through everything and if he was suck we would just push him until he pushed through their lines.

Anyways he unfortunately drowned in some boating accident and we had a small high school reunion shortly afterwards. I miss cheeseburger a lot. Anywyas me and my friends got some cheeseburgers and we toasted, or clinked the cheeseburgers togehter and asked for a moment of silence for cheeseburger and to eat the cheeseburger in his memory.

Some people, who im assuming didn't know cheeseburger well were saying I was extremely rude and I was disrespecting him. I know for a fact, this is what cheeseburger would be wanting.

Someone else got hte microphone and made a speech about him. Me and all my friends yelled to cheeseburger. They claimed we were disrespecting him by using that name, I guess they didn't remember it or what, or they probably didn't know him well because he literally went by the name Cheeseburger, he was never offended by it.

Some peopel asked me to leave I told them to gently caress off. Cheeseburger, if you're reading this, we miss you buddy

I'm not dying on the hill of my specific guess, but I was using the idea that the face and hair were completely changed, which why would a tracer do that if it wasn't part of the kink?

If the picture was already kinky, why have it altered at all?

The whole post might just be bait to trigger conversations like this.
