AITA for not getting upset or convince the bride after I was uninvited to my friend’s wedding?

Some clarifications: the OP and Matthew were never romantically involved in any way, and the dress shopping was for Matthew's sister, not the fiancée.
So Jennifer got mad after seeing OP in the dress and deciding that she will look better than her at the wedding, right? That's got to be in the top ten most common types of stories


This thread has convinced me we need to ban wedding ceremonies

Who knows, redditors think that either Matthew mentioned to fiancée that he had a secret crush on OP in the past, or fiancée just feels that she has "won" after the engagement and doesn't have to be on best behaviour anymore, and is now picking off his female friends one by one, starting with the OP.

That sounds like a horror movie premise. It probably is one.

dang out teenage daughter isn't getting enough social time. rather than work with her and the other special needs groups, why not foist her on her brother. clearly a gaggle of teenage boys will be an endless reservoir of patience and kindness.
parents bad, teenage son struggling and can't be the parent his won't.
The older brother is also neurodivergent, it's just less obvious so nobody gives a poo poo.

AITA For having my own secret honey stash?

quote:

Me 31 (M) and my partner 29 (F) have been living together for two years now. I like honey in my oatmeal. More specifically raw honey. Something about the flavor I just adore. So I always bought it even if it cost a bit more than regular.

But it just so happens apparently she decided this is "our" honey at one point last year. The little jar that used to last me two months went out in two weeks of her waffles. I wouldn't mind if we bought it together but I have to order it on amazon because no stores nearby sell the stuff.

I didn't want to seem like a cheapskate telling her to pay me for it so in february the next bottle I got I hid it in my desk where I usually take my breakfast. Yesterday she happen to caught me pouring it into the oatmeal.

She got upset saying it was childish not to share it at that we are adults.

But is not sharing if she is taking 80% of it and paying nothing for it.

Today she came demanding honey for her waffles and I told her "It is my honey" and like out of the bloody meme she went "OUR honey".

That started the discussion again.

Thread title nomination: Update. He's not mad at the moment. In fact he just came downstairs naked.

I think this one highlights how different people are about what they wear around the house. Some people are fully clothed all the time, some people wear 'house clothes' (like pajamas), some people wear just underwear, and another set actually go full-nude, and all groups seem to consider what the other ones do really weird. It's also something you don't know unless you talk about it, because the non-fully-clothed people usually put on normal clothes if they have guests over. It's always funny to read the surprise when people discover these different groups.

Also another linguistic quirk that usually adds to the surprise: some people who say 'naked' when they actually mean 'wearing only bottom underwear', so people who take 'naked' literally think of 'bare butt on the furniture' while others are like 'of course I have on panties/boxers, gross'.

EDIT:

This is a good example of why I think you should live with someone before getting married. Whether it's 'our' honey or 'his' honey, and whether they should split the cost aren't really huge issues. But if you end up not being able to talk out something this minor, FFS don't get married then post six months later about how honey is destroying your new marriage.

I thought this was pretty funny too: I don't get it. 31/F just looking to get naked all the time. AITA?

I enjoy how the parents have not considered the fact that the friends are going to reply to an invite with a unanimous gently caress No.
It's weird how many adults seem to think that children are tactical assets that they can deploy to solve issues in their own social lives.

On the one hand, "I have to order it on Amazon." What? How is that an excuse? Just order more honey next time from goddam Amazon. This is not hard!

On the other hand, how much loving waffles is this woman eating?

Definitely NTA. If it was some generic clover or wildflower honey that would be one thing, but buying a specific type is a different beast. Hell, if someone ate my entire bottle of buckwheat honey I'd be pretty pissed (and surprised).

They're for holding wonderful bites of peanut butter/nutella, the peak topping(s) (either together or separately, depending on the type of waffle) for waffles. Or I'm just a heathen in denial because I don't really like using honey as a topping generally (love cooking with it though, maybe that redeems me).

Also I had a hell of a time catching back up; gave up on catching up on the old thread, but I've mostly enjoyed the new one so far! Glad to know that the trend of weddings bringing out the weirdest poo poo in people is still going strong.


Pantaloon Pontiff posted:

Agreed, my partner and I have an agreement that we're not even allowed to formally propose until we've cohabitated for a year. That and we need time to save up money for even the proposal(s), let alone a wedding. It's absolutely best to get these growing pains out of the way now when marriage is a "future goal" because it also is probably better on one's psyche. "We're working on building the foundation for a long-term relationship like a marriage" sort of thing, instead of going "oh poo poo, what did I get myself into?" every time a lifestyle difference comes up.
