AITA for singing a song to my wife at our wedding and making her angry?

quote:

I just got married last week (my wife and I are both in our thirties). I am Mexican, she is American, but we both grew up in the US and both our families know both languages. My wife planned every bit of the wedding and was a very controlling and nervous bride, but alright, I get that she was stressed.

During the reception I went to the band and asked them to play a song for me to sing to my new wife. It was Te Amare by Miguel Bose. It was the song from out first date in a really bad Mexican restaurant, so it became a long standing joke between us.

The guests really loved the song, my MIL cried and told me it was beautiful, but my bride seemed upset. I asked her what's wrong and she said I am an AH for taking the spotlight to enforce my ethnicity and not just let the band sing our song for us. Aita?

I was so confused reading the song’s lyrics and wondering what the problem is and then I reread and saw that she’s American and now I understand.

Yeah divorce her.

Oh, for sure, I mean singing a Spanish language song at his wedding is basically like forcibly converting everyone there to Mexicanism.

The weirdest part is he said that both families can speak both Spanish and English, so it's not even like he's marrying into a family of chuds. She just decided to go full on racist out of nowhere.

AITA for refusing to help my brother and telling him he should’ve expected to lose his children?

quote:

My brother is going through a nasty custody battle and it looks like he’s going to lose his children. This all started because my brother decided to have an affair, continued seeing the other woman (his now fiancée) after his wife found out and moved with his two children once his wife had a mental breakdown. My sister-in-law didn’t want her family to get involved until he took the kids but now my brother is realising he hosed up as my sister-in-law’s dad and brother are using their money and connections to (unfairly) destroy him in court.

I’ve tried not to involve myself but all my family want to talk about is the custody case as everybody is worried we won’t be allowed to see the kids if my brother loses.

I have a casual sexual relationship with my sister-in-law’s brother and my sister suggested I should use that to look through his phone/house to see if there’s anything that could help my brother’s case. Everybody was onboard with the idea but I refused to do it. I told them he would catch me but they still want me to try. I ended up having an argument with my brother because he said I didn’t care about how he was going to lose his children. I was upset so I told him he should’ve expected to lose them because he knew who her family were before he decided to gently caress everything up.

AITA?

He says she's American but I'm wondering if she's got a Hispanic grandparent or great-grandparent that she's secretly ashamed of. If they split up and he tells her family why it might torch a few relationships with her family too.

White Americans have the most boring rear end weddings. I wonder what they imagine a Mexican wedding is like. At least ten times cooler. Mariachi instead of the Chicken Dance. Tacos and empanadas instead of tiny sandwiches with pickle relish and salmon.


AITA for not dogsitting for my brother?

quote:

I (F 23) have dogsat for my brother (M 32) a few times and it has never been a good experience. I work two jobs and i am stretched pretty thin as-is. Last Oct. I dogsat for him and he didnt leave me and dog food, so i had to buy it, also the remote for the tv was lost, he didnt pull out the sofa bed for me (which im not picky about where i sleep but im doing him a favor so it wouldve been a nice gesture) so i slept on the couch, and his garage flooded so i had to fix his water pressure tank. he has two dogs and lives farther from my two jobs than i do at home. he also doesnt pay me, which im not asking for a lot of money but maybe just gas money or money for food (or leave me some food in the house). It has just been a bad experience overall and i told him i wouldnt do it again….

Last month he asked me to dogsit for a week for his two dogs and now cat as well, and i nicely said no. This led to a huge fight with him and his girlfriend being very rude to me. we kind of made up but he just asked me again this morning. Am i an rear end in a top hat if i say no?

I dogsit for free for a friend because it's literally a few blocks from my house, but the other friends where I have to drive 15 miles one way, and spend the night? Yeah they pay me. But they also have enough money to go on at least 1-2 vacations a year.


AITA for telling my ex , he had his chance to be a father to my kids

quote:

Ok some of you may remember my ex H (25) who left me after I gave birth to our sons 3 years ago .

Today , he called me begging for forgiveness and to come back to New York .

He discovered his mother manipulated him into thinking the boys weren’t his . Now he wants me to come back to New York and get back together and be a dad to our sons .

I told him that he had his chance to be a dad three years ago and blew it . Along with he didn’t stop me from moving across the country with the kids .

Not to mention, his current fiancé is pregnant with triplets . ( she and I are friends on Facebook which how I found out )

My sister is calling me an rear end in a top hat since she thinks H wants to be a dad to our kids .

While part of me wants to believe him . I’m still angry that he left me high and dry with two kids ti raise alone

So am I the rear end in a top hat for telling my ex he had his chance to be a dad .

Please move back to my city and let me be a dad (and maybe I won't abandon you or my replacement wife and kids).

That's the absolute last thing they should be doing. There is absolutely no way this is going to end well. The bully probably doesn't even remember what she did by now, at least not in as much detail as OP, so she's most likely going to laugh it off. "Oh, you're right, we were so naughty as kids!", "Haha, did I really say that?". She might apologize to get the crazy person off her back, but that's about the best case scenario I can think off.

Yeah. This whole thing on "getting closure" is just dumb. Just move on.

That sounds like the guy moved on without divorcing. Her having a mental breakdown because her relationship broke down does not support her retaining full custody.

The way it is written kind of implies he took the kids without a court order though. That would get him in hot water.

It sounds very much like he broke her heart and mind with an affair and then moved out and took the kids with him once she was fully destabilized. gently caress this guy and I hope the powerful connected family destroys him

Not to mention the equally vague "moved". Moved where? Down the street? Across the country? Across the world? If he unilaterally took off with the kids it's no wonder the mother's family are pissed off and vengeful. Sounds like he's made a whole string of bad decisions (and is dead set on making more if the family are trying to make OP play Mata Hari).

AITA for not letting my coworker drive my new car?

quote:

In my job , I go out of town a lot , lots of hotels , and camp work. Sometimes I drive my own vehicle if I’m at a hotel , gives me more freedom after shift, not having to wait for a crew truck. My last job I was going on , I was taking my car , my coworkertegie was going to travel with me. However he told my supervisor that he has anxiety when he’s a passenger in vehicle , and needs to drive. My boss told me that Trevor was going to drive. I said no , it’s my truck , and only I drive it. He argued and threatened to write me up for insubordination, I pretty much laughed at that , because he can’t write me up for not letting someone else use my personal property. The company doesn’t pay for my fuel, mileage or upkeep. It turned into a screaming match and so I said screw it , I’m not driving anyone else but me. I said either I drive my truck or it doesn’t go at all. I was then told to either let Trevor drive or go home, so I chose to go home. I told Trevor to take all his gear from my truck, and my supervisor said” no , you are going home , we are still using the truck”
I gave him one more chance to take his stuff from my truck , again he refused. I tried to take his gear out of the truck and he started to scream at me for touching his stuff, so I left the shop , with all his stuff , drove to his house, and got his wife to come get it , and went home.

What the gently caress did I just read. How loving insane is that shop?

The only way that could make any sense at all is if by "his" truck, it is actually the company truck assigned to him and therefore he considered it "his". Some guys do take it that far but I think in this case the Supervisor is just tapped in the head and is confused over who owns the vehicle.
