Sounds like a huge fuckin pile of drama that the only right solution is to walk away from. Ex-SIL putting people on blast on social media is a burning-bridges moment, did she honestly think her ex's family would have welcomed her?

I think she overestimated her son's "family." If someone in my family disowned their six-year-old child and refused to be in their life, the parent would be out of family events and the kid would be told that they are welcome and part of the family in every way possible, and if someone sided with the parent, there would definitely be some bridge arson happening.

When she started putting people other than her ex-husband on blast, I think she was no longer angling for an invite and was just letting people know what kind of family parties they were attending, which, fair, that's something I'd like to be told!

AITA for getting mad at my wife's gender reveal prank and ruining the party?

My wife is currently pregnant and we are the proud parents of a 2 year old girl. To be completely honest this is an accidental pregnancy. I love being a dad, but our marriage hasn't been good for a while, so we didn't mean to bring another child into it.

You mess with the crabbo...



WIBTA if I remove the "in sickness" part from my marriage vow to my fiance [29M]?

quote:

This is harsh but I hate taking care of sick people. My siblings and I were always taking care of our parents whenever they get sick and I just hate it, I'm sick of it and I hate feeling bound or obligated to take care of somebody, my life is full of moments and events like this and I just finally want to live my life to the fullest.

I'm going to be married soon to my lovely partner and the best guy in the world. I'm so lucky and happy to have him by my side.

We have been thinking a little about our marriage vows. My fiance is going to have a traditional Christian one:

"I, _____, take thee, _____, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I pledge thee my faith."

I'm going to have an identical one to this one but without the "in sickness" part. I'm going to replace it with "in happiness"

My fiance says that he will not accept this and he is very mad at me, he is even rethinking the whole thing, I just don't want to feel obligated to take care of anybody sick for years of my own and only life, it's so stressful and I think he is being very unreasonable right now, it's just a marriage vow and I have the choice to change it. WIBTA?

edit fixed spelling and some stuff

INFO:

It depends on the disease, obviously, I'm going to have no problems taking care of somebody with a cold or some flu or some broken bones, however, if it's chronic/severe and requires so much time and playing around like Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, disabilities, cancer...etc then no, I had enough of those in my life.

Okay but also it's good she's saying this now, because there is an assumption in marriage that you will help each other through hardships. Better than waiting until he gets an easily managed bowel disorder before divorcing him over it.

They aren't, but I think the thread (and society at large) generally agrees that bailing on your chronically or terminally ill spouse just because they're sick is really lovely behaviour. But it's still better to let your would-be spouse know that before they marry you.

Yeah, the ages on that one were throwing me for a loop. Married at 16 and 17, had miscarriage, waited until they were 33 and 35 to have a kid, and another 7 years later. Not a common pattern for crazy religious families.

The one kid getting married at 20 and the dad telling a 22 year old still in school that "it might be time to settle down" reeks of some ultra-conservative, fundamentalist, backwater family.

This one is a little weird to me because of the repeated references to this woman's parents. If she was forced into the role of a medical caregiver early in life I can see how she would be resentful and not want to repeat that.

As written, her attitude sucks, but there definitely seems like more of a backstory here.

At least they are figuring this out now instead of years down the line. What she is doing is lovely and I don't agree with it but if that's her line that's her line.

Can't even fault her reasoning as it sounds a lot like child free people who decided that because they were forced to parent their siblings from a young age.

Either way they should call it off since they have very different views on marriage.

Edit: although upon reflection, this thread has shown me that yes, some people need to be kicked out. Nevermind.

The bit where she says “I had enough of those in my life.” would certainly lend this credence, especially as she specifically calls out Crohn’s/UC (though as someone with Crohn’s I’d hardly say it’s debilitating enough to need a long-term caregiver)

I feel sorry for her, because it seems like being put in a caretaker position at a young age has seriously affected her. At the very least, it's given her an understandable fear of commitment. She should probably see a therapist.

You'll be ahead instead of behind. Hello!
AITA for refusing to meet with my sisters because my girlfriend told me not to?

quote:

My girlfriend(f24) of two years recently moved in(moved in 1.5 months ago) with me(m24) to my apartment room. I know it may seem quick, but I think it's an important step in our relationship. Ever since she has moved in, she asked me if it would be okay if I could stop meeting with my sisters(f26, f21) physically for a while. I asked her why, and she said that she would tell me the reason on a different day, but I was excited about us moving in so I didn’t press her more. My older sister only lives like an hour away from me and my little sister is finishing up college in the same state. If my mom and dad or friends come visit me, she doesn't seem to care, which was really weird.

I still text and call my sisters, and I do it more frequently since my girlfriend told me she preferred that I didn't meet physically with them. Last week, my older sister told me that she wanted to visit me, and I told her that she couldn't, and she asked me why. I froze because I had no idea what to tell her(saying covid issues would just be ridiculous), so I hung up on her. She texted me a question mark and texted me "what's going on dude?", but we haven't spoken since and I have no idea what to text back to her(what do I text back?). I’m also thinking of finally asking my gf why she doesn’t want me to meet my sisters.

What do y'all think is happening here?
