And why has his family "flew all the way over to see this wedding" when the guest list isn't even done? The time line is very confusing. Also, this is all you need to know: "if it were up to him there would be no kids in our relationship"

Hughlander posted:AITA For Calling Off My Wedding Because My Fiance Doesb't Want My Kids There? I don't understand ones like this. Like, "My soon-to-be husband excluded my kids from our wedding and told me he didn't even want them, am I in the wrong?" I just can't imagine a situation where the reaction isn't to instantly leave and sever all communication beyond whatever's needed to kill off that relationship, to say nothing of getting pretty much right up to the wedding without seeing that coming.

Hughlander posted:AITA For Calling Off My Wedding Because My Fiance Doesb't Want My Kids There? How do you get this far into a relationship with someone who clearly doesn't want kids and doesn't like your kids? Just ignore it and hope it goes away or something? Why are you marrying someone who in your own words didn't have any bond with the kids at all?

Because you're desperate. Maybe desperately lonely, maybe dire financial straits.

Hughlander posted:AITA For Calling Off My Wedding Because My Fiance Doesb't Want My Kids There? quote:he simply stated that it was a kids-only wedding Absurd Alhazred posted:Who the hell proposes marriage to someone with kids when they don't want kids? WTF?! Lots of people. It's why evil stepparent is a timeless and universal archetype. The mirror of "give me your child!", "get rid of your child!" They often try to send children to boarding school or feed them to monsters in movies where the hero is a dog. Captain Hygiene posted:I don't understand ones like this. Like, "My soon-to-be husband excluded my kids from our wedding and told me he didn't even want them, am I in the wrong?" Lots of people simply have no thoughts at all and drift through their lives on automatic reflex, like tsetse flies or jellyfish, going through whole courtships without ever discussing anything of substance, such as whether their partner believes certain groups are undeserving of human rights, their feelings on children, pet ownership, or rear end hygiene and then acting surprised when this stranger who they've spent months or years with reveals some kind of deal breaking behavior. Sometimes, this person is oblivious and missed warning signs that would be obvious to a smarter person. Sometimes, their partner was actively masking their bad behaviors until they felt comfortable enough to relax and reveal their true natures. Sometimes they gently caress up and start talking in the evil voice before they have successfully had children with their partners, gotten their name on the lease, etc. Then we all point and laugh. Combo posted:How do you get this far into a relationship with someone who clearly doesn't want kids and doesn't like your kids? Just ignore it and hope it goes away or something? Because she doesn't care about her kids' well-being that much, thinks she can chaaaaaange him or possibly a mixture of both.

Comments suggests he hid his problems and that she thought it was a "They're not small children and feel weird about having a different person as dad in their life" extremely normal kind of blended family situation. He's never outright treated them badly, they just haven't become attached to him. Like the kids didn't even know he was the one who kicked them out of the wedding, he was actually trying to hide it. Mask just came off before the wedding.

AITA for telling my friend to "gently caress off"quote:I (28f) resently broke up with my bf and feel really bad about it. My friend (35f) is getting married and I was really looking forward to her wedding. I was really happy that one of us found her soulmate. Her wedding is in a month and I was getting worried for not getting an invitation because I wanted to book my flight and a hotel and I don't know where exactly the wedding was. Yesterday I brought it up. My friend said she was sorry but she is not inviting me to the wedding because they want just couples at their wedding and no singles. They think that wedding are not for single people and they want to spend the day with their friends that know what a wedding is about - true love. I got really angry, told her to gently caress off and she is not my friend anymore and hung up. So today her mom called my mom to tell her that my friend is really upset and I am being unreasonable.

Soylent Pudding posted:AITA for telling my friend to "gently caress off" If a wedding is only about "true love" and the ability to experience it doesn't that mean any not married couples and divorcees should also be barred from attending since they've never "experienced" a wedding or "betrayed" their vows? I'm sure he actual reasoning has something to do with pictures looking bad but the logic is so bizarre.

AITA for getting a belly button piercing without discussing it with my boyfriend first?quote:I (22F) started regularly working out 9 months ago. It's honestly been a life-changing decision, I've never felt happier, healthier and more self-confident than I do now. Thanks to me hitting the gym so frequently, I naturally ended up with a toned stomach and some nice abs. Ever since this happened, I started finding belly button piercings very appealing because, in my opinion, they really make a hot abdomen pop. The thought of getting one has always been in the back of my mind but I just never got around to actually doing it for various reasons.

AITA for Unintentionally nearly ruining my niece's baby shower?quote:My older sister (8 years my senior) was a divorced, single mom raising 3 kids on her own. When I was 25 and newly married, my eldest niece started getting into fights, trouble at school and some with the law. My sister asked if her daughter could come and spend the summer with my husband and I. We didn't have children yet, and felt it would be good because as a teacher, I had summers off and could give my niece lots of attention. At the end of summer, my sister asked if we could keep her until the new year. We said yes, and she gave us temporary guardianship so we could enroll her in school in our state. Well, months turned into years, and suddenly 5 years passed, and my niece graduated HS and went off to UNI. While she lived with us, we never asked my sister for any money, as I knew she was struggling. We even paid for the portion of college her scholarships didn't cover. However, sis lied and told family members that I demanded money from her constantly. So, because of this and a few other thing, I went NC with my sister. The niece knows who her real mom is, if only the OP would realize it.

It's amazing how vulnerable we all are to the majority opinion of our little bubbles. "Hi my father in law chases me around the house trying to stab me with a large knife ever time he comes over. My husband says that's just how he is and that I need to just learn to dodge and keep out of stabbing distance. Yesterday I hurt my foot and didn't feel like running away from a knife wielding maniac so I didn't let my FIL come over. Now my extended family are all calling me and saying I was incredibly rude. My husband won't talk to me until I let my FIL get at least one good stab in as an apology, I think this is unfair but everyone's probably right that I could have been more polite about it, am I the rear end in a top hat??" Like so long as enough people around you say you are being disrespectful for not wanting to be stabbed, you'll believe it at least have enough doubt in your head to feel conflicted over not wanting to be stabbed.
