AITA for ruining my ex’s birthday trip after “our” friends got me to fly there under false pretences?

quote:

Three of my friends invited me on a trip to Paris. As far as I was aware the trip was supposed to be just the four of us and was almost like a pre-bachelorette party for one of the friends. Turns out the whole thing was a lie and they wanted me in Paris because that was where my ex was celebrating his birthday and two of the guys in our friendship group thought it would be funny if I was his surprise present.

I was angry and felt humiliated when I realised what was going on and I yelled at my ex because I thought he was the one behind it. My friends told me to calm down because I was ruining the party but at that point I was so mad that I wanted to ruin it for everyone. A lot of people are angry at me and now that I’ve calmed down I’m wondering if I acted like an rear end in a top hat?

where in the gently caress do redditors find these kind of "friends"

If a mushroom is red or green with white spots it’s ok to eat. If it’s purple with a skull and crossbone and a angry face it’s poison and you shouldn’t eat it.

AITA for not inviting my 10yr old niece to my daughters slumber party after her birthday party?

but my sisters and I hound her for it

I decided that she deserved a break

I tell my daughter she is invited

I decided this was a good compromise, and did not even mention the sleep over to my sister so even if she tried to force her daughter into the party, she would have nothing with her. No clothes, no toothbrush.


I stood up, thanked all the parents for coming but said our time was up, and it was time for the boys to go home and the girls to follow us back for the slumber party


I had my daughter say bye to her cousin, and my sister. My sister looked at me confused and asked "Is ___ not coming over to your house?" I guess I rubbed her the wrong way because I chuckled a bit and said "Oh, no, it's just her and her girl friends." She made a face, and my niece started tearing up a bit and clung onto my sister, but I stood my ground because its what my daughter wanted.


I allowed her to feel left out despite forcing my daughter to invite her.

Dear Care and Feeding,

quote:

In June 2021 I left my husband of 23 years. Although we had some ups and downs throughout the years, he was a good husband and a great father to our now 20- and 22-year-old daughters. We were a close family and had a great circle of friends. To most people who knew us, we looked like the picture of a perfect marriage/family. But for at least the final five years of our marriage, I knew I wasn’t in love with him and I was starting to panic about being empty nesters, as our daughters were starting university and moving away.

While for the first 15 years or so of our marriage, there was no reason for him to mistrust me, in its later years I engaged in mild (and not so mild) flirtations with other men. I am not proud of my actions, and looking back I can’t even recognize who that woman was. In any case, in February 2021, I unexpectedly fell in love with another man and began an affair with him that lasted for four months. In June 2021, my husband overheard me having therapy on Zoom (thank you, Covid!) and confronted me. I admitted the affair and told him I was in love with the other man. My husband and I talked and cried nonstop for four days, and I made the difficult decision to choose ME and my happiness and moved out of the house. I knew my kids would be upset, hurt, and angry, but I assumed that at the stage they were at in their lives, they would understand (or try to).

Things have not gone that way at all. I haven’t seen my younger daughter in a year. My older daughter has been a little more hot and cold with me, although more cold than hot. She is at least more communicative than her sister (and by that I mean occasionally she will text me telling me how angry she is). I have tried to respect their desire for time and space to grieve, but I am afraid we will never find our way back to each other. I text them often, but they rarely reply. I’ve begged them to go to a therapist with me. They will not. My younger daughter is completely closed off and shut down. My older one sporadically sees a therapist on her own. As a child of divorce myself (my father left my mother for another woman when I was 14), I understand their pain, anger, betrayal, and sadness all too well. I just don’t know how they can heal and grieve without even having one conversation with me. (I should add that my soon-to-be ex-husband and I are actually fine with each other now and have remained in contact throughout the year and a half.) I know my daughters are tired of my texts (they say they feel they’re “just words”). I want to respect their desire for space while still trying to prove to them that they are the most important people in my life. Because I didn’t end the relationship with my now boyfriend, they do not accept that they are my priority. I wish I had had the courage to leave my husband before meeting someone else. I wish I had not left the family home and not left my older daughter to look after my husband, who was a broken and destroyed man for a few months. But I can’t undo any of the things I did. I feel like my 20 years of mothering counts for nothing now and it breaks my heart that they’re choosing to live without me in their lives. Can you help us? I want to do something, but I don’t know what!
