So should they be burned down? Never visited? You realize they don�t have slaves on them anymore?

Disclaimer, I grew up in southern Louisiana and there are plantations everywhere. My best friend grew up on one. This whole shaming culture around a fixture of my childhood weirds me out.

Plantation weddings have been known to have people dress up in period clothing, which of course then draws that problem of glamorizing slavery. It's not a perfect source but here is an article on plantation weddings and some of the issues surrounding them.
https://www.salon.com/2014/01/05/disturbing_wedding_trend_getting_married_at_a_plantation/

Generally it breaks into erasing slavery, or making light of it. I understand you may have grown up around it, and of course not all people having plantation weddings are bad people, but it definitely has problems.

Bf [27] very upset/disappointed in me [20F] after concert
Throwaway bc he follows my real account. Last night my bf and I went to a concert for one of my favorite bands. We got lucky bc right when they were opening the door to the venue we were at the front so of course we went all the way front and center in the crowd. Everything was going great, the opener for the band played and we were both drinking a bit. Then the main band comes on and my bf leaves almost immediately when people start moshing, literally about five minutes in. Important to note: the girls next to me were saying how the guitarist was cute and I laughed along with them, which my bf heard.

Alone now, I tried to text him all throughout the show to get him to come back/ask what�s wrong. Eventually he said he was up towards the right of the stage but I couldn�t find him. He said he couldn�t find me but I hadn�t moved the entire time and was waving my arms around so he�d see me. Since I was so close I was able to get really good videos of the band, namely the guitarist literally right in front of me. All throughout the show they would ask the crowd questions, and the girls next to me and I thought it would be funny to try to get him to hit the juul. He declined which was totally fine, but I videoed it and put it on my snap story along with other snaps throughout the concert. Afterwards I actually got a chance to talk to him/take a pic with him as he was leaving the stage.

It was kind of a short set so after their last song I went to go find my bf, he was in the very very back at the bar. He all of a sudden didn�t want to talk to me and asked if I wanted to stay and he would give me money for an Uber home. I said no it�s fine and we left. I was excited to show him all the videos I took since like I said they�re one of my favorite bands. I also showed him the juul video and picture of me meeting the guitarist.

Then otw back home he was super quiet and refused to talk to me (which sucked bc we were stuck in traffic for a loooong time). Eventually he said he would tell me what�s going on, but he just dropped me off at my place, and when I asked about it, he said �I just want to go home.� So I respect that, and he didnt text me until this morning telling me what was wrong: He was �really disappointed in me� for �saying with that girl that that guitarist guy was cute and trying to get him to hit your juul, I didn�t expect any of that or know you were like that ig, I wouldn�t have done the same to you.� Am I in the wrong here? I�m just really confused and upset about the whole thing.

UPDATE: Bf [27] very upset/disappointed in me [20] after concert
Hey guys, thanks for all the comments on the previous post. Linkie:

https://www.reddit.com/r/relationsh...tm_term=enabled

We broke up. He said he doesn�t want to be with someone who doesn�t feel the same about him, and that I broke his trust and loyalty, not a quality he is looking for in a gf. We have been dating since November.

I tried telling him that he is blowing it out of proportion and that I believed we were strong and mature enough to make it work. He said last night made him realize we weren�t on the same page anymore, and that it was his fault for telling me how he felt about me (loved me) a couple months ago.

This stings super bad right now, especially because I have a class with him starting in two weeks lol. But I think it might be for the best. All the red flags of jealousy, immaturity, and insecurity that I didn�t even see, wow. Well, wish me luck, gonna go finish my shift even though Ive been bawling for the past hour.

AITA for snapping at my son's fiancee for not just accepting his proposal speech as is?

Son just got engaged to his girlfriend. Don't know her that well, but have found her a bit standoffish in the past. We were invited to celebrate with other family and friends just after the proposal and of course went to support my son. I guess during the speech my son told her that the forgot what he had planned to say and was improvising, but he had written it out elsewhere. During the celebration, she told him she wanted to read his planned speech. I found that exceptionally rude, since he put so much effort into the proposal and she was in no place to demand the "perfect" speech. I said something like "isn't the speech he gave good enough? why do you need another one?" and my son got upset with me. I was just trying to stand up for him, but my exwife dragged me out and I didn't want to make a scene, so I left. My exwife called me a name I can't say here when she made me leave and now my son isn't speaking to me right now because he thinks I made it awkward and he doesn't appreciate what I was trying to do for him. Am I the rear end in a top hat for trying to stand up for my son and keep him from being walked over?

Good that the son is pushing away from the clearly redpilled dad. Hopefully that then turns to :sever:

Smirking_Serpent posted:

After years of not speaking, my (25F) dad (49M) suddenly showed up at my house because he found out I�m engaged.

Hello all, this is my first time posting here so I hope I explain this clearly! I�m looking for some advice.

Here is some background, sorry if it�s a little long. My dad and I have always had a strained relationship. He and my mom divorced when my brother and I were very little because he was an alcoholic with a violent temper. Though he wasn�t usually physical, he would frequently have outbursts where he would swear, call us names, and throw or break things. He was also way more aggressive with boys/men, so he treated my brother much worse than he treated me. He often threatened him, criticized him, and sometimes even smacked the back of his head and pushed him. To me he was much softer but would often push me and flick the top of my head very hard when I annoyed him. My brother and I were only 4 and 5 years old at this time. I believe he wasn�t more violent with us because we were so scared of his anger that we walked on eggshells and never confronted him about anything. Not to mention he was a pretty absent parent, refusing to pay child support and only seeing us when it suited him. He often made promises to take us to do fun things but never showed up.

Of course, we have many nice memories with him too because when he was happy he was great to be around. Typical abuser right? He could be very fun, loving, and funny. It�s just that it never lasted long. We rarely went a day without him flying into a rage about something.

As we got older, my brother and I started distancing ourselves from him, making excuses not to answer the phone or visit him. This made things worse because the lack of control made him freak out. Eventually, my brother cut him off completely because of some things he couldn�t forgive. My dad�s reaction was to drunkenly show up to my brothers work demanding to speak to him. Not long after this, he opened up several credit cards in my brother�s name and racked up a ton of debt that hosed up my brother�s credit score for years.

I still felt obligated to stay in contact with my dad for a few more years because we generally had a much better relationship than he and my brother, and I felt guilty that if I cut him off he would have no one else. However, I finally reached my breaking point and we haven�t spoken for about 6 years. In that time I began dating my boyfriend and we got engaged a few weeks ago. I�m assuming my dad found out from someone who saw our announcement on Facebook because we have no contact with each other.

So here�s what happened. Not long after getting engaged my fianc� and I went on vacation. When we were coming home I got a call from my mom saying that my dad was on my front porch waiting for me. He didn�t know I was out of town but he told my mom that when he heard about the engagement he had to come see me and meet my fianc�. (He lives about three hours away from me btw.) This sent me into a panic, so I told my mom to tell him that we were still several hours away and that I wouldn�t be able to see him. He took it well and left, but said he hoped that I would call him.

Here�s my issue, the fact that he showed up late at night with no warning pissed me off. He had multiple ways to contact me but he didn�t. He�s done this many times before and I believe it�s a tactic to catch us off-guard so we�re vulnerable and have to face him. This always works in his favor because he�s very physically intimidating. However, he always justifies it by acting like he�s just a passionate person and likes to handle things face to face. I hate it and I feel like it�s just another abusive behavior.

Despite all of this, I can�t help feeling a little guilty. His behavior has caused him to lose everyone in his life. He has no family or friends left and the idea of that makes me so sad even if he deserves it. Because I was the last one to cut him off, I feel this obligation to not leave him alone all over again. And I know that weddings make people all sentimental and the idea of not going to my wedding or meeting my fianc� is probably devastating for him. I just can�t help but feel conflicted. What do you guys think?

*TL;DR- After years of abusive behavior my dad and I stopped talking. Now that I�m engaged he expects to just come back into my life. Im not sure if I should give him a chance or not. *

He took a bunch of credit cards out in their brother's name, loving up his credit for years, so look forward to that down the line I guess. I wish it was taught to people that family does not equal free pass.

AITA for maintaining a relationship with the wife/daughter of a racist?

I'm taking some steps to hide our identities, including slight tweaks to the ages listed and using a throwaway. The reason why will be obvious shortly.

I live with my husband in the suburbs. It's a neighborhood where everyone is expected to show up to gatherings, attend birthday parties, occasionally host the neighbor kids after school... etc. Some families have nannies to help facilitate this, others have SAHMs. Im a SAHM; my husband is in engineering. We have two daughters, one who's 12 and one who's 10.

A politician lives near here. If I said his name, you wouldn't know who I was talking about, but he has made national headlines a few times for objectively reprehensible statements. It's not just the fact that he's a part of one political party - he's also an outspoken, public person who holds views antithetical to our core values.

I've met him a few times in passing, but most of my contact is with his wife, who we'll call Sarah, and his daughter, who we'll call Chrissy. Sarah is very involved in local school events, volunteering, etc. We're not friends, but I would say we work together at least twice a month on some kind of local project.

Chrissy is friends with both of my daughters. She's a bright, friendly, funny girl and I've never had any reason to discipline her. Chrissy comes to our home, and our daughters go to her home. They've done camp, sleepovers, birthday parties, movie nights, pizza parties, etc. I can't find any fault with Chrissy as a friend to our daughters or a guest in our household.

Last night, my husband asked to speak to me. He said it was time that "the people" stopped enabling certain politicians. He said that our most powerful tool, outside of voting, would to be to apply social pressure to people who hold certain harmful viewpoints. He said he does not want our family to interact with this politican's family at all, on any level - we should freeze them out. My husband said that if it were up to him, he would be actively starting a conflict with this politician in any way he could, but he will respect our daughters' friendship with Chrissy and just keep it at shunning.

I don't think he's wrong that activism is very important ... but I don't think our daughters need to give up a friend. Also, I don't want to burn the bridge with someone else in the neighborhood.

My husband thinks that's a cop out, and it's important to do the right thing. He also said he's afraid one day our daughters will come home and say something inappropriate from spending time at the politician's home.

My husband is at work but we'll discuss this again tonight. Before I sit down again with him, I have to ask - am I the rear end in a top hat for wanting to continue my family's relationship with a bigoted man's wife and daughter?

I'm doing this with the assumption the politician is a Trump idiot. That said, it very well could be switched and be super religious/conservative, and if that's the case, gently caress em.

I'm of the belief here that they should actively shun them. Don't just freeze them out, literally let them know why. Don't yell, don't fight, simply say, "you hold reprehensible beliefs, I don't want my kids in your house."

Now sadly, it sucks for the kids, and I'd actually say the best action here is to explain to your children why they should not go over to the politician's house anymore. They can still be friends with Chrissy, just keep them away from the poo poo parents.

Also, the wife is married to the politician, so yeah, also terrible.

EDIT: Steve King seems too well known, but truthfully, making national news the the opposite of not being well known.

AITA for not identifying myself as American?

Ha, no of course not. You are a person with a functioning brain, it's like when Americans used to travel to Europe with Canadian flags on their backpacks to be treated well, it's common sense.

With lottery dad, I will never understand how someone can be part of a family, proclaim how much they love them, but then to immediately say, "No, it's my money".

He has a point with him working with it to make it happen, but he hid it all from his wife, which is suspect in itself.

AITA for wanting to be buried my own way

I go to church every Sunday with the wife and always wear my suit. I HATE wearing a dress shirt and tie bc I feel I am being choked. While discussing my funeral (no, I don't plan on dying anytime soon) my wife told me she is going to bury me in my suit against my wishes. I realize that I won't actually be there for it, but I want to go out my way. Hell, the mortician can fill my body up with peanut butter and tie my body to a tree and have squirrels feed out of my rear end in a top hat for eternity, it really doesn't matter. I just don't want that drat shirt and tie

I'll say the same to this as I did to my priest mother when I was a child. If God cared about what I wore to church, he's focused on the wrong stuff, and I don't care what he thinks then.

Who gives a poo poo what you are wearing when you are dead? It doesn't loving matter.

There was an update: (bolding is mine)

A lot of people mentioned that if she can do this type of thing to an ex-friend, then she can do the same to an ex-husband. This has me worried some, I'd like to believe she wouldn't go nuclear on me if we did file for divorce.

Yeah, she isn't the type to do something so crazy as that.

AITA for not wanting my mom to come to a childhood dream birthday of mine?
I first didn't want to tell her because I did not want her to feel like she was a bad parent. This car factory thing was just a small mistake - otherwise she raised me well and fairly.

My sister is saying that I'm being petty. She says that our mom made this mistake a long time ago and I should get over it by now. But I feel like what she did back then was pretty bad and I'd rather not be reminded of it while in the car factory. I'd rather just be alone there at the factory than have my mother with me - the one who prevented me from going in the first place. I feel like I have the right to be mad about this.

For such a small mistake which means nothing, they seem pretty bent out of shape about it.

I actually think it's great for them to go on their own. They've wanted to do this, never once has the mom made good on it, so go on your own and make that point, but don't act like it isn't a statement to the mom. Clearly, it is.

I just think they need to accept that it hurt them more than they seem to think, and that it should be brought up with the mom how that affected them, because that would probably help them get to some point of healing.

To say one other thing though, using that carrot on a stick, but never actually doing it, that's just being a lovely person.

Was it wrong of me [24M] to ask my girlfriend [22F] to remove her socks during tickle fights?

I mean, I just wanted to see what they looked like with the socks off, wouldn't it be crazy if one ended up in my mouth, haha, just asking.

Or alternatively, the ages should be 6 and 5.

AITA for flipping out on my boyfriend for eating my cake?

Always a cool sign when your partner says sorry, then instantly gets angry at you if 'sorry' doesn't make you instantly forgive them

I couldn't help it. I only wanted to eat one little bite, with a fork, right out of the box, from your birthday cake, how does that make me selfish?
