Friend's Girlfriend Laughed About Almost Getting Us Killed by a Bear So I Banned Her

So the situation involves my friend Alex (27M), his GF (21F), my husband (29M), and myself (27F). Last year we all went on a camping/ fishing trip that we do annually, but last year was the first time Alex’s girlfriend joined. His gf is a really nice person but she’s not super outdoorsy and can be a bit absent-minded at times. Here's the issue: last year we were hiking in bear country and during peak bear season. Normally this isn't an issue, but you have to be vigilant and know what to do if you do encounter a bear! So last year before we headed out on our hike I asked my friend if he’s given his gf the 411 on what to do if we see a bear, he hadn’t so he asked me to. In super simple terms I explained that if you see a grizzly bear (most common in that area) do NOT scream and do NOT run. Avoid eye contact or sudden movement and back away slowly if they aren't moving. She listened but I could tell she was kind of blowing me off, she also wasn’t interested in carrying bear spray or learning how to use it. So lo-and-behold the four of us run into a bear. It was after a pretty sharp turn so we, and the bear were all startled. Alex’s GF reacts in the worst way imaginable: starts screeching at the top of her lungs and sprinting back down the way we came. The bear started charging so I deployed the bear spray which scared it off. We then collected Alex’s gf and went back. We pretty much all agree that if we hadn’t had the bear spray we would have been screwed My beef is that Alex’s gf treated the whole thing like a big joke afterwards… she posted IG stories laughing about the whole thing and has basically shown 0 embarrassment or regret over her stupid ass behavior. I didn’t say anything at the time, but my husband and I agreed to basically never go anywhere outside a city with her again haha. Issue is Alex and his gf kept asking when we’re doing our “annual trip” and his gf made a joke about wanting “round 2 with the bear”. I decided instead of continuing to make excuses to just be straight up with them: I explained I didn’t find the experience nearly as funny as they did and that I was not willing to go anywhere near wildlife with Alex’s gf until she smartens up. Now Alex is pissed I’m “holding a grudge” his gf is pissed that I “called her stupid” and my husband thinks I was rude for telling them the actual reason we aren't willing to go with them this year. AITA here?

My husband spent all day roasting me so I finally told him he was a joke

My hubby kept making jokes at me all day yesterday. I felt more like they were digs and after the first few I pulled him on it. For example we finished an episode of our show and then I said I was going to go clean the house. He said “that will make a change” and started laughing. I do literally all the housework so I wasn’t impressed but let it go. Anyways fast forward to the evening after a whole day of this (jokes about me as a wife/mother), he sends me this dating joke about how if you’re looking to date a woman with a sense of humour you’re SOL since they don’t exist. I said “reallly?” He replied I only just proved his point, that I had no sense of humour. Fed up I replied “well I must do, since I married you and you’re a whole feckin joke.” Now he’s been sulking and barely talking to me. Did I take it too far? AITA? If so I will apologize. Tl;dr- hubby made jokes all day. I made one back but may have taken it too far.

MIL Joked About My Next Marriage So I Canceled The Whole Wedding And Tagged Everyone

I (22F) and my fiance (26 M) had our wedding date set for October of next year. We announced it 3 months ago at a family barbecue, and everyone seemed excited. We’ve been engaged for a little over a year now, and we wanted to announce the date before we even sent out invitations so everyone could plan for it. Our initial plan to pay for the wedding went as followed: we save $500 each month for a year. We are getting married at the small-town family church, so $6,000 is plenty to cover what we need. A week after the announcement my parents (brides parents) gave a very generous $2,000 donation to the wedding. My parents and my partners have about the same finances. My parents decided to skip their spring break trip to donate. My mother-in-law heard about the donation. (we thanked my parents publicly but didn’t specify the amount.) She decided at the next family gathering to ask my parents about it, where she learned the amount and how they afforded that. There was some conversation before I walked over, but this is what I heard my MIL say to my fiancé: “Don’t worry, I’ll pay for your next one.” (My MIL hasn’t ever liked me, she says I’m dramatic. She’s probably right tbh.) My fiancé told her firmly to shut up. My parents looked pissed off as well. My mom said she didn’t think it was fair that the brides side (of 6 people, small family), donated more than my finances side (20 people). I don’t have any grandparents or aunts and uncles left, so my family is smaller. I told them that I love their donation, but my MIL’s side does not need to donate. My MIL responded with a snappy, “I’m not giving up my vacation just because you two are broke.” I got pissed, and told her again that I don’t want any money from her. Mid-April, my MIL posts on Facebook about her spontaneous New York 5-day Vacation with other members of my fiancés side of the family. My parents got very offended, thinking that if they had enough for a spontaneous vacay, why don’t they help pay for the wedding. I think they exaggerated the trip out of spite, but I still kinda agree. BUT at the end of the day it’s their money. Now it’s May and both sides of the family are posting sassy Facebook posts, messaging inappropriate comments, and some not even talking. I posted on Facebook that we’re putting the wedding off for now. I posted “We are no longer planning our wedding for October. We want to be married and supported by loving family members, and we all know we’ve been lacking at that recently. We will replan the wedding at a later date.” I tagged everyone, and now everyone’s mad at me. I tried to stay out of the drama, but seriously- wtf! AITA/ what do I do now??

My Daughter Joked That I'm Not Her Real Mom So I Canceled Her Sweet 16 Party

So I (39F) have a daughter (15F) from a previous marriage. Her dad and I split when she was 5 after he cheated on me with his now wife. Messy, yeah, but I’ve always kept it civil for my daughter’s sake. I’ve been the main parent, doctor visits, school stuff, everything. Her dad sees her like once a month, and when he does, it’s all Disneyland dad vibes. No rules, just vibes and gifts. Anyway, I was planning a huge Sweet 16 for her. Like thousands of dollars, caterer, DJ, venue, the whole thing. She’s been hyped for months. Then last weekend, we were at her dad’s house for some brunch thing his wife threw. I only went because my daughter asked me to. At some point, someone jokes about how much she looks like her dad, and she goes: “Yeah, guess I got lucky. Especially since she’s not even my real mom.” And points to me. Everyone laughed. Her dad laughed. His wife laughed. Even her grandparents laughed. I just sat there like… what? I quietly told her we’d talk later, and we did. I asked her what the hell that was about. She said it was just a joke. That it was funny. That I needed to lighten up. I told her, “Cool. Then I guess you don’t need me to throw you a party, since I’m not really your mom anyway.” She thought I was bluffing. I wasn’t. I canceled everything. No venue. No dress. No photographer. I told her she can ask her real parents for a party. Now everyone’s saying I went too far. Her dad’s calling me bitter. His wife had the nerve to DM me and say I’m emotionally punishing my daughter. Even my sister thinks I should’ve just grounded her or something instead. But I’m sorry, you humiliate me in front of people who disrespected me for years, and then act like I’m the one in the wrong? Nah. AITAH for canceling her party over what she claims was just a “joke”? Or did she finally cross the line?

My Wife Lied About Adopting for Years Only to Laugh in My Face When I Brought It Up

Quick story. Me 30 and my wife 32 have been together for 6 years and married for 4. Back before we got married she confessed that she couldn't have kids naturally due to medical issues that are untreatable, and I said that was ok as long as she was willing to adopt. She said yes to being willing to adopt back then, and recently thanks to my job we're in a position financially to start the process. Well for last couple years when I talked about it she dodged the subject untill last October when talked about adopting a little girl age 8 that we've known for awhile and wife acted like she was considering it. So a couple days ago I brought it back up to her and got my heartbroken. Basically she first tried to say that we were too old to deal with children, followed by interrogations of why I want children, accused me of not liking children, followed by the real answer was "that wife will not take care of another person's child or love them because she didn't make them." The reason I'm considering divorce is because after that answer I was holding back tears and asked her "what about little girl age 8, I thought you loved her?"... Her response was to laugh in my face and tell me it was a F@#$& joke.... I feel like I've been betrayed and took advantage of. I've done everything in my power to make wife happy, cars large appliances, bigger house, listen to her problems, pay bills, pay for surgeries, and the list goes on. AITAH? : update: I just wanted to thank everyone who read or commented and showed their support and offer a very special thank you to the certain few who decided to reach out to me personally. This has honestly been a complete emotional rollercoaster for me. Reading the comments really helped me build enough strength up to work through this bad situation. I can't thank you folks enough. *1st about the little girl- I will not be able to adopt as a single parent until I pass a psychiatric evaluation, but I'm still allowed to volunteer at the group home and if nothing else my mom and dad have agreed to adopt her. My mom is only 50 and although it would be a little weird at first I won't mind being the much older brother vs a dad. I just want to make little girl happy. *2nd I did take y'all's advice to talk to a therapist and it really helped me figure some things out about myself and get my feelings under control long enough to talk to my wife. The therapist really recommends me taking a personal vacation by myself after this is all over. *3rd I removed anything that I would miss from the house a few days ago and talked to the wife yesterday about my feelings and made it clear that I didn't want her in my life anymore. After what she said to me I can't bring myself to trust her or even sleep in the same bed anymore. She of course cried and called all of our friends and her parents to tell them how much of a bad person I was, but quickly found out that I had already talked to them last week. She's moving out this weekend and thanks to her mom's intervention has agreed to file uncontested for now at least. *4th a special thanks to my mooching brother-in-law for telling their mom what his sister did. If not for him listening in on our conversation that night, I really feel like this would've become a legal battle with lawyers. Basically the only people mad at me now are the wife and her dad's side of the family.

I Compared My Dad And Stepmom To My Toddlers And The Whole Party Burst Out Laughing

Recently my dad and my step-mom "Sarah" decided to renew their vows since they both cheated on their partners they feel the wedding experience was ruined for them. They wanted a small together at their house to discuss some plans with the whole family, my wife(25f) and I(30M) informed them that we couldn't make it because my wife had to attend an engagement party with my mom(52F) but they insisted that my wife and my mom come directly to their house after their party. My wife is Indian so she dressed up in her traditional attire and my made my mom wear it too because she really wanted to wear a saree and they both looked gorgeous so when they arrived at the everyone(my dad's side of the family and Sarah's friends) were fawning over them and if I'm not wrong some of my Sarah's male friends were hitting on my mom. We were just hanging around the living room area when I saw my twin sons(4M) starting a fight because when one of them has something the other one gets jealous so I ran to put a stop to them because they might break it when I went there I saw Sarah and my dad just sitting on the sofa so I asked them what happened and they told me they feel the attention has been shifted from them (I knew they meant my wife and my mom) while they were telling me this my twins started fighting again so I said "Boys if you don't stop getting jealous of each other like your grandfather and Sarah iI will put all 4 of you in time-out" some of my dad and Sarah's friends heard it and started laughing and soon it became a laughing matter, it died down when they announced they were renewing their vows and everything so the dinner went well and we left. The next day I get a call from both my dad and Sarah telling me how much of an asshole I was and how I made them a laughing stock in front of everyone so I told them I wouldn't have done it if they hadn't acted like children. I have been getting texts from my brothers saying I was an asshole for ruining their day. So Reddit, AITA

Friend bragged about sleeping through the night while his wife suffers and I couldn't stop laughing

So I'm playing poker with a few friends last night. Most of them are dads. We're all in our 30s. This friend of mine has a 3 month old. He's a weird guy in general (I've known him forever, he's never been giving; ie, tipping 5{39ca6eb452c0ce4419cd73a8f3bd18a23fe95ab4febb092bc2ab1b542eeea82f} when we go out, asking to split the check with his girlfriends on their birthdays, etc). I should also say that he is semi-employed, sets his own hours, and works from home. Anyway, I ask him how fatherhood is treating him, and he said great. I said, isn't it hard to get sleep with a newborn? And he said "my wife deals with night time. I sleep through the night." Another friend asked him what that meant -- he said "I need to sleep because I have work." And I said "but don't most dads help out at night?" and he said "I can't. I need to be rested for work" -- at this point, all the dads --- who have full time jobs, unlike my friend -- are laughing and saying things like "yeah, so do I. But I'm not sleeping!" So I say "but isn't your wife kind of working all the time herself?" and he again says "I have to work in the morning" and I just break out laughing. Like I can't stop. He looks at me like "WTF" and I say "dude, you can't help your wife at night? Like change a diaper?" and then he seemed to get mad and said "I have to sleep to be ready to work in the morning!" Anyway, am I the asshole for laughing at him? His wife is a little meek, so she'd definitely never say anything to him, but I'm kind of glad we all made fun of him for not helping his wife at night? EDIT: they don't have an arrangement where he helps out during the day

Redditor Embarrasses Her FIL After He Tried To Joke About Her Past As An Escort

I (27F) used to be an ''*escort*'' (h\*oker) from 18 until I was 23, I'm not proud of it but I also don't give a fuck because I did what I had to do to keep studying and a roof over my head. That's how I met my now fiancé (37M) tho he was never my client. We began to date when I was 25 and three or four months after that his BIL ''exposed me'' (no idea how he found out) because *there's no way my fiancé knew* and thus we had to come clean in front of his whole family. Yes I did that. Yes he knows. Yes he doesn't care. It was 2 years ago (at that time), we got over it. After that there was a span of 3-4 months in were my MIL and some of my fiancés aunts and cousin ''police'' their husband when I was around, it was really weird tbh because this dudes were like 40-60yo and I wasn't that desperate, so my fiancé shut their bullshit hard and even when his family still gives me the side eye from time to time, we thought it was behind us. He proposed last year and five months ago we found out that I was pregnant, we were really happy about it and we told his family as soon as we knew. His sisters and young brother were happy for us, but his mom took me aside and *begged* me to be honest with her and asked if this was really my fiancés child, I was taken aback but I just rolled my eyes and said yes, she gave me some shitty speech about how ''she only wanted to make sure'' and that ''she was happy to be a grandmother''. Well, last weekend we were at his parents with his family and some of his friendsand we were talking about the name, how he might look (small talk, we will love him regardless but there's always some ''*Oh I hope he gets your nose!*'' ''*mmh I like your eyes, I hope he gets them*'' comments) and my FIL said that he and his children have a birthmark in the inner tight and that even his grandchildren (one of my SIL's kids) got them, so our baby might too, and then he said ''But how can we know from who he got it? it may as well be from me, my boy or my brothers'' and he and his brothers began to laugh. My fiancé got mad and before he could say anything I said ''I don't get it'' and my FIL was ''yeah because it runs in the family'' and I said again ''I don't get it, why would he get it from you?'' and he began to get nervous and said ''because you know... it's just a joke OP'' and I said ''but I don't get it and you all laughed, explain'' it got to the point that some of his friends said ''hey, it's not funny'' so he he excused himself and left. Later my fiancé's BIL came to me and said that I was wrong for embarrassing him like that in his own house and that I knew what the joke was about and *because of my past*, I shouldn't be surprised. Now they're all demanding that I apologize to my FIL.

My Sister Laughed at My Thoughtful Baby Gift Because It Wasn’t on Her Registry

I 29f have a sister 26f. She’s pregnant and recently had a baby shower. She had a registry of things she needed. I didn’t buy anything off of that though, I had ordered custom made onesies with my nieces name on it, and a changing pad. I don’t have much money, I have a geriatric dog who cost a lot. I thought the gift I gave was cute and meaningful, and that she’d also be getting a lot of other gifts. After the baby shower my sister pulled me aside and asked why I didn’t pick nothing out off her registry. I had said I saw those and thought they were cute and the registry is just a suggestion. My sister got annoyed and said the registry is stuff they actually need and that I gave her useless things, then walked away. I guess she talked to my mom because my mom also said to me I should’ve just picked something from there because I know how my sister is and it would’ve helped her out. I’m now upset because I was excited about my gift and wasn’t aware that the registry was so important.

My Ex Called Me Racist In Front Of Our Son Because Of A Nelly Joke

I was talking to my son(3yo mixed black and white) on the phone and he wanted a Band-Aid on his finger cause he got a splinter the other day so he just wanted another one and I saw her put the Band-Aid on. I said you’re gonna wear a Band-Aid like Nelly for some reason I thought it was Nelly that put Band-Aids on the tip of his fingers as well his face. I was misremembering Michael Jackson was the one that put it on the tips of his fingers she called me racist for it. when I grew up in the Midwest white people was wearing the Band-Aid on the face. were they racist? She proceeded to call me a fucking racist and a lot of other things in front of my son which he repeated to me “you’re a fucking racist” which kind of broke me and I kept telling her to stop talking like that in front of him she said done a lot of things in front of them, but I don’t like. she also makes him say I’m black he’s white passing I really don’t have a problem with that. Cause I don’t understand the whole reinforcing his race thing cause Im white TL;DR my ex-wife called me racist because she was putting Band-Aids on my son’s finger And I said like Nelly. Is that really a racist thing to say? Edit I made a grave typo. I’m meant to say I really don’t have a problem with her making him say I’m black and she was the one that started the whole white passing thing.

AITA for laughing when my ex's wife complained to me?

Ex cheated on me with his current wife. That was 5 years ago. Ex and I share three sons who are 11, 10 and 8. Ex's wife has a daughter and a son with her ex, who she also cheated on with my ex. The two of them have said it all. From it was meant to be, to how great it is because the kids all have a bigger and happier family, blah blah blah. I am over it in some ways. There is very much a sting that the affair partner in my marriage gets to call herself my kids stepmom. But I'm not at all sorry that my ex is gone. The man slept with her behind my back for 18 months before her husband and I found out. I am civil when the kids are around, I ignore them when the kids aren't around. This whole thing happened over ex's parents. They were disgusted with him for cheating. MIL told him that he destroyed his kids foundation. That leaving a spouse is never easy and divorce is hard for kids anyway but when you add conflict in the way of cheating, you take something from a child that they can rarely ever get back, and that's parents who can still care about each other and want the best for each other despite not being together. They stayed very close with me and haven't welcomed ex's wife at all. Nor have they been involved with ex's life since really, or his stepkids. It bothers her a lot. My youngest son won an award in school a couple of weeks ago. Ex and his wife were there. So was I. Ex's wife ended up coming up to complain to me because both mine and ex's parents showed up briefly, spoke to my son, then to me and left. She was saying how unfair it is. How her kids don't understand why ex's family have nothing to do with them and why they never see them but they know my kids have a relationship. She said ex's family love me, it hurts her feelings to feel not good enough. I'll be honest. I rolled my eyes first but then I laughed because she seemed to expect sympathy or help from me. Laughing at her pissed her off. I have heard from her and my ex since that I was rude, I should care about the kids at least, and I am not thinking of my kids when I keep bad blood between us and laugh at her suffering. One part of me doesn't care and believes I'm fine once my kids couldn't see it. Another part of me wonders if I was an asshole to laugh at her. AITA?

Student Chooses Safety Over Staying in Class and Becomes Target of Jokes

Today was my first day of the semester and my professor gave everyone Mazapan which is a mexican peanut candy. I have a severe allergy to peanuts and everyone was eating it in class and crumbs were getting everywhere and the smell of peanuts was STRONG. After the class ate the candy, we did a group activity where we had to put post it notes on the wall & write someone we look up to but everyone was touching all the markers and my contamination OCD kicked in. I felt uncomfortable and trapped so I asked to leave about 15 min early after explaining my allergy and my professor seemed offended and annoyed by that. I understand some people are uneducated about food allergies and how serious they are so I get why he was a bit confused. Was I just letting my health anxiety get to me or was that justified??

AITAH for laughing in my SIL’s face when she DNA tested my daughter?

I, 30 M, have a daughter who's 6. I am not biologically related to her *at all*. There is no blood relation between us. I was friends with her mother for most all of my childhood. We were never involved romantically and were always just friends. She had her daughter at 23 with her 25 year old husband. When my daughter was a newborn (About 3 months technically) both her mother and father were killed. I won't go into too much detail for privacy reasons, but it was workplace shooting. My friend and her husband had worked in the same building, and were both killed. Both my friend and her husband had grown up with less than ideal families and didn't have any siblings so there wasn't any "next of kin" for their daughter to go to. However, because I was close with them I was able to adopt her. Even though I had been iffy about the idea of kids I didn't want their daughter to grow up in foster care or around people who didn't have a connection to her bio parents so I stepped in. My parents and siblings know that my daughter is not my actual daughter biologically speaking. My daughter, I'll call Lily for the post, also knows that she's adopted. I never really hid the fact that she was adopted, she knows her parents are dead and were killed by a "bad man" but I'm saving the details for when she's older. Lily does not look like me at all. She looks exactly like her mother and biological dad. Most people assume that I'm her bio dad and that she just took after her mom. I don't ever really correct this when and if people assume this because it just seems unnecessary. My brother has been with his fiancee for about 2 years now. A few weeks ago we were all meeting up at my parents house and my SIL saw an old picture of me, my friend and her husband. She pointed to my friend and asked who she was, and I explained that was Lily's mother. SIL got quiet and stood in front of the picture for a while. I didn't think much of it. To clarify, she knows my friend died, but I guess didn't know that she had been married, or that Lily is not my bio daughter. I suppose she assumed my daughter was mine and my friend's biological daughter. My SIL got a DNA test done on my daughter behind my back. She used my brother's DNA for the test, and when it came back that they weren't related, she knew that meant me and Lily weren't related. She came up to me with the results and waved them in my face, saying that I was taking care of a dead woman's affair baby. She said this to me in front of my daughter. I just stared at her for a while before bursting out laughing at this. I told her I knew Lily wasn't my biological daughter, and that this thing called adoption exists. Her face went red and she stormed off. My brother is mad I embarrassed his fiancee, but I said she embarrassed herself by DNA testing a kid that isn't hers and then parading the results up to me. What did she want me to do? What was her goal with this? Did she want me to break down and abandon my daughter? My brother said she thought she was doing the right thing and called me an asshole. I don't feel like the asshole, especially considering my SIL was the one who stuck her nose where it doesn't belong. I'm asking for reddit opinions (mostly just for validation), so was I the asshole?

AITA for potentially getting a teacher fired over a joke?

My brother (23) and I (22f) have raised our younger siblings together for the past few years (both our parents have died). The kids’ teachers know our situation and are generally pretty good about it. Though we still get some comments at parents’ evenings and correspondence from school is often sent to “Mr and Mrs (our surname)”. We are used to it and it’s usually no big deal, sometimes pretty funny. What I did NOT find funny was my 14yr old coming home from school saying he had a substitute teacher (the teacher works at the same school full time but doesn’t normally take any of our brother’s classes) and as they took the register and saw his surname, the teacher said, “Another Flowers in the Attic kid! How many more of you are there?!” Some of the kids laughed, most apparently didn’t really get it, and our brother was embarrassed but also didn’t get the reference. A bunch of the kids googled it in their next break and ...𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻.. ⬇️

AITA for laughing at my mom's bf for the birthday gift he gave her?

Sorry for grammar, English is not my main language, and sorry for the long post. So this happened a few years ago but this man (I'll call I'm Nick) still doesn't talk to me. I'm 25f and I was 23 at the time. I had my first job and my mom's birthday was just around the corner, so I decided to gift her something bigger than I've been able to buy all those past years. She's always liked to sew and her sewing machine broke a few months back, so I went and found the perfect sewing machine. It had flowers on it and she loves flowers, seemed good quality, good reviews, etc. I orderer it and it would arrive the next day. Nick was at my house at the moment (he lives like 4h away by train, so he's not here often, maybe a few days every 2-3 months). I had to go to work so I told Nick that the gift was arriving that day and I was looking around for a place to hide it. He noticed and told me that he's just going to hide it in a drawer. I told him that it would not fit, and then he asked me what did I buy. When I told him that it was a sewing machine, he started laughing. He said that I don't know my mother, that a sewing machine was not appropriate for a birthday, since a birthday gift has to be something more thoughtful and meaningful. I got pissed since I'm really close with my mom, and I really think I know her more than anyone else. I just left. Her birthday comes, and she LOVES my gift. She was thinking about buying a new sewing machine since hers was broken and she uses it pretty often, and she had her eye on the same exact model I bought. The next day I told her what Nick said, and she said that she knew, and they argued about it. That night we went out to have a drink with my brother, Nick and her friends. At some point of the night, I asked my mom what Nick's gift was, and she told me that he gifted her lingerie. Yes, lingerie. A bra and a thong. Here's where I could be the AH. I started laughing my ass off, turned to Nick and told him "After that speech you gave me about sentimental value and not knowing my mother, you gave her lingerie!?" while still laughing. I don't think anyone was paying much attention tho, they were drunk and having fun, but I think I still embarrassed him. He tried to make a point but I just couldn't stop laughing, so he eventually gave up. Up to this day, he still doesn't say a single word to me since then. When my lovebird passed (he was 15 and I had him most of my life) Nick happened to be at my house. Not a single word about it. I know he doesn't care about birds, but he knows that my lovebird was damn important to the family, specially me and my brother. Every time he comes, not a single hi either. Like an hour ago I went to the living room and Nick was there with my brother. My brother said hi and I said hi back to both of them. Nick just said "Hi SWEETHEART" to my dog, that was coming behind me. Anyway, was I the asshole for laughing at him for his birthday gift to my mom? ETA: They've been dating for 7 years now, 5 at the time.

AITA for a joke I made during my best mans speech?

I (34M) was recently the Best Man at my friends (36M) second wedding, I was also the best man at his first. I saw this joke online and it made me laugh so I stole it and for my opening speech I said "right well....welcome back everyone." which got more than a few laughs, especially from the bride (31F) who seemed to find it hilarious. Everything went well, speech over and done with, though later on after a few drinks my friend began to rip me a new asshole telling me I was out of line with that kinda joke and how i'd embarrassed him and it wasn't funny and that I shouldn't have brought his last marriage into this, I mean a best mans speech will always be more jokey than anything and beyond that it was fairly tame and that was the only reference to his last marriage...was I really that out of line?

WIBTA

WIBTA for not inviting my sister to my wedding as she's "joked" about "ruining" it after I ruined hers?

3 years ago, my ex boyfriend proposed to me at my sister's wedding, in front of everyone, while giving what was meant to be a best man speech (he was friends with the groom). It was not approved by anyone, especially not me or my sister, and I said no in front of everyone, and he stormed out. This definitely distracted from events so I left shortly after, apologising profusely. It's been a few years since then. My sister has said she's over it but she really isn't because she brings it up every time we see each other, and she's made it clear that she still holds a grudge. We were really close before (I was her maid of honour) but after that she sort of pulled away from me. I'm now engaged, not to the proposal guy, to another fella. We're planning the wedding for early 2022. My sister has been "joking" about "payback" for years now, saying that when I get married she's going to do something to "ruin" the wedding. I don't know what, but I have my theories, the front runner being announcing a pregnancy or some other milestone during the reception. We've had a conversation recently (about a month ago) where she said something like that, and I've said "I know my ex was a douche but please remember that I didn't want him to do that and please don't pull a stunt at my wedding" and her response has usually been something like "wow, yeah, I bet someone announcing a major milestone at your wedding would really ruin your event, though you probably wouldn't understand that unless it happened to you", or words to that effect. I have apologised multiple times, but it's been 3 years and she still holds a grudge against me. I was talking with my mum earlier, she asked if I'd started planning yet, I said no, and mum says that I should get my sister to help and I just sort of said that I'm not even sure about inviting her. It just kind of slipped out, tbh. In the rest of the conversation I admitted (after mum pressed me) that I was unsure about inviting her because of these "jokes" she's made over the years, because if 3, nearly 4, years later she's still making these "jokes", then they're probably not jokes any more, and inviting her might not be a good idea. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those brides that expects everyone to just put their lives on hold for my wedding, but I feel like she's basically said that she is planning to fuck up my wedding. Mum, however, thinks I'm being unfair, that my sister is allowed to have feelings about her wedding day, and about mine, because my ex's actions did affect her day, and said that my sister is most likely only joking and I shouldn't take what she's said seriously, and definitely shouldn't leave her off the guest list for my wedding because of the jokes. She's also said that if my sister isn't invited, then she (as in mum) won't go either, in solidarity, and called me a bridezilla. WIBTA for not inviting my sister?

Family

AITA for laughing at my brother and sister-in-law when they asked to use my credit card like it was no big deal?

So | am 22F. | don't have much knowledge about finances and stuff as | still live at home as I'm at university. | do however pay my parents about £300 a month rent, | pay my own phone plan, buy material stuff | want or need, pay out for other services like for music or whatever and try to put as much as | can in savings whilst still keeping enough in my main account for day to day purchases. Currently, | am saving up for driving lessons and hope that if | pass decently, | can use some of my savings towards getting a car. I'm in my final year of uni so I'll be done and able to work full time when all this happens. | also decided to get a credit card so | can learn how to manage credit wisely and build some up. My credit score is good for someone of my age and circumstance but obviously it's nothing great in comparison for other stuff. | should point out that at most | only plan on using this card with a total adding up to £100. Ive stuck to that so far and only actually used it twice with these purchases only adding up to £80 and | paid it off quickly. | do not plan on exceeding my limit any time soon as I've heard far too many horror stories of people just using their credit card too much cos it was handy and getting into debt. The only people | disclosed this to was my dad as my mum has the tendency to blab to my brother and SIL (both 28.) ...𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻.. ⬇️
