My BIL is this hard core fisher (not a pro) and it's actually impressive how good he is. We we're having breakfast at this place near a stream entering into a lake, and after breakfast he goes to his truck and gets his pole and has this huge fish on the hook in minutes. I watched in awe.

Please join me in gawking at this lunatic AITA for inviting my kids and grandkids to a family event quote:Later this week, my father-in-law is hosting a birthday party for himself at his house. He's turning 85 years old, which I feel is a momentous occasion, and 16 people are already confirmed to be invited, so I thought it would be fine if I invited my kids and grandkids as well. The more the merrier, right?

That edit at the end is amazing. She's not just inviting more people, she's inviting practical strangers. Should invite some of her coworkers while she's at it.

The real assholes are her kids, for not taking on their step-father's DNA. This all could have been avoided if they had simply biologically merged into the new family to begin with.

This story is pretty good, especially for the AH trying to recover by playing the ol' "heh, that was actually a test" card - I just wanted to highlight the second paragraph which instantly made my bones crumble to dust. AITA for giving my ex fiancee a fake engagement ring. quote:It was an honest to God marriage proposal. I very much wanted to marry her. She is just a klutz and I didn't trust her with the real thing. quote:Anyway I asked her to marry me and she said yes. She loved the ring. I had had it sized but it was the brass and moisonite copy I had made so she would not lose or damage the real one at the concert. quote:It was a test. And apparently I failed. She didn't lose the ring. She took it to get it appraised and found out it was fake. I guess her plan was to get me to apologize, then rush out and replace it. When I told her I had the real ring safe and ready to go she freaked out.

Why the gently caress did the brother still marry this piece of poo poo? He seems very reasonable in the whole saga, never defending his wife and fully understanding how insane she is. But he still married her?!? Zero pete energy.

It seems the brother honestly believes that the behavior is both acceptable and only caused by the stress of planning a wedding. There will be no more stressful situations in the future.

AITA for helping my landlord renovate his home to a rent decrease instead of going home and helping my wife?quote:My landlord "Chris" is a good buddy of mine. We also work together at our normal day job. His house is directly beside mine. We are both married and both have kids at home. His 6 kids range from 5 months old to 16. My 4 kids range from 7 months to 13. For the past month he has been trying to renovate his home and he asked me if I would help him and he would take $300 off our monthly rent bill until the work is done. It's an extensive remodel so the bathroom, kitchen, living room and 2 bedrooms are all getting redone. I agreed to it because $300 off rent means I can save more. My wife originally didn't have a problem with it. quote:I get home around 4:30 and I stay down at Chris's until about 8pm. So, 3.5ish hours a day, 5-6 days a week. quote:When I'm home I'm a very active parent.

Sounds like the wife did the math and has probably laid it out for him multiple times, but the dude has the $300 figure in his head and has convinced himself it's a big number. And he really wants to believe the landlord taking advantage of him is a friend and not a parasite, so I doubt there's any use trying to talk sense to him.

He seems very reasonable in the whole saga, never defending his wife and fully understanding how insane she is. But he still married her?!? Zero pete energy. They already have kids. He's stuck with her in his life until those kids are grown. It's too late to walk away, might as well get married. Probably he was hoping this isn't who she really is, and once the wedding stress is over she'll go back to being the woman he fell in love with. Now that it's done he gets to find out if it was a stress induced break, or if the woman he loved was only a mask and now the mask is off.

AITAH for finding a new wife after my wife gave me ultimatum to open our relationship, which was not an actual ultimatum??quote:My wife became obsessed with open relationship and when I refused to engage about it she gave me an ultimatum to open our relationship or we will get divorced. I told her to file for divorce. But I cooled down a bit afterwards. I decided that divorce is not right for me now. I had gained a bit of weight and I haven't dated in over a decade. I didn't even know where to loving start. I didn't think I could have handled dating and divorce at the same time.

big black turnout posted:ESH. Wife sucks for open relationship and ultimatum, but "being divorced isn't for me, I needed to find my next wife" guy also sucks majorly 1) She made an ultimatum about opening the relationship which is really awful 2) He initially told her that he wanted to divorce her and only later changed his mind, so it's not like he didn't express any displeasure with it. 3) Until he expressed his intention to divorce her, he didn't do anything that she wasn't ok with since she wanted an open relationship anyway 4) Since she didn't actually intend to divorce him, it wasn't a situation where she didn't think she could stand being in the marriage unless it was opened, so the point of the ultimatum was just to coerce him into doing something she thought he wouldn't want to do, which I think is a lot worse than saying that she had changed and was only interested in open relationships so she would leave him unless he was also ok with that. So I really have trouble blaming him. When it's like 90% the other person being lovely and 10% the OP being lovely in response I have trouble thinking of it as ESH. mystes fucked around with this message at 02:43 on May 6, 2024 |
