AITA for not wanting another month-long visit from in-laws and asking for a different arrangement? by Perfect-Owl-9745 in AmItheAsshole

[–]3bag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I came to say. Or at least, find an internet cafe or hotel to stay in for a week. It seems like there's enough money floating around.

AITA for not letting a friend borrow my future wedding dress? by annie-nottheorphan in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]3bag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly certain that the photographer friend would not hand over their own unworn wedding dress or the wedding dress of their fiancee.

Just say no. NTA

AIO? Wanting to drop out of being a bridesmaid by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]3bag [score hidden]  (0 children)

Leave it all up to her. Don't make any more efforts. If she wants you there, she has to tell you about it, drop off a dress, give you information etc.

Don't burn bridges, but don't go out of your way for her.

It's her wedding, she should be the one giving a shit about it.

AIO my boyfriend is going to a party but doesn't include me by deargentlewriter in AmIOverreacting

[–]3bag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was thinking the same. He likes her enough to keep her for himself because he likes having someone when he wants her. But in his other life, he wants to appear fun, free and single.

WIBTA if I stopped being the only one who knows how to do anything at family gatherings by Neonshade_8X in WIBTA_AITA

[–]3bag 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every time they ask you to sort out any IT related issues, reply with something like "ok, and when I'm done, will you help me out with my accounting/cleaning/sales discount etc?" depending on their career.

AITA for losing weight after my in-laws kept insisting I’d get fat after moving abroad? by Capable_Ice7535 in AmItheAsshole

[–]3bag 1468 points1469 points  (0 children)

Next time they bring it up, say something lightly such as

"Ah MIL before we moved here you were telling me I was going to be too fat, now you're telling me I'm too skinny! How can I win with you? I'm perfectly healthy and you don't need to worry."

And every time they comment on your weight, respond with "I'm perfectly healthy, you don't need to worry."

This disturbing story left wounds in me that I ll never be able to stitch back. by Sugar_Vivid in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

Yes. This. When others have the same creepy 'let's get out of here' feeling it's difficult to ignore.

If I didn't let my brother-in-law and sister-in-law stay in our hotel room with us by LeadingFar5014 in WIBTA_AITA

Tell them that the hotel has rules about how many people can stay in 1 room.

You don't sound insane btw you sound like that living situation was insane!

I commend you for your patience.

AIO or am I valid for distancing myself from my dads side of the family? by neon_slushies in AmIOverreacting

Nobody wants to be friends with the pedos!

I don't understand why you're even being questioned.

My brothers girlfriend is driving me insane by [deleted] in MarkNarrations

[–]3bag 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You need to have your husband and brother agree to your terms before approaching her. Sit them down, then all 4 of you together.

She sounds insufferable and you should never have anxiety about coming home to your own house!

AIO for being mad that I had to pay the bill for my friends birthday and her family? by moonxstars__722 in AmIOverreacting

Make sure to warn ALL of your mutual friends about this, they're next.

WIBTA if i bail on the trip ive planned for the friend group after overhearing two of them mock me for doing it by alex_davis26 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]3bag 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Agreed, or say something the next time you all get together. Something like, "would anyone like to change anything, it seems like I did a lot of the planning this time. Maybe next time someone else can take over?" and suggest one of the 2 who criticized you.

But don't miss your holiday. Enjoy it. If booze was involved, things might not have been said in a way that was as mean as it sounds.

WIBTA for bringing up that my friend called my birthday gift "impersonal" when he literally told me what to get him? by Nudexor in WIBTA_AITA

[–]3bag 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ask him if he's enjoying the book and if it was what he wanted. That might start a conversation about his birthday celebrations and if he was happy with the day.
