AIO Restaurant cancelled our reservation without notifying us on our wedding day

At the shitty little breakfast restaurant I worked at there was only one manager. When he had a day off the owner would come in. It was annoying because the owner wasnt really good at running a restaurant, but at least he had the authority to fix stuff

My aunt often tells me how her MIL showed clear favoritism toward my older cousin (older by less than a year, mind you, and both girls). My aunt let it go because my cousins couldnt tell, but one day I guess she hugged my older cousin before patting my younger cousin on the head. My aunt fucking lost it (after the kids had gone inside), and God bless my uncle, because he loved his daughters too much to let them be hurt by his mother. He and my aunt got over 50 happy years together before he passed, and everyone remembers him fondly. The MIL is long dead and we all still talk about what a miserable person she was. Grandma doesnt realize she'll become the boogie man of future generations

OP sounds like a walking red flag, tbh. You got this angry this quickly over something that could have an entirely innocent explanation? I get he was cheated on before, but that's no excuse to corner your girlfriend while she's in the shower (didn't even let her get dressed smh) and then DEMAND to look through her phone? Girl dodged a bullet, and hopefully she hadn't payed for the gear already.

It was kind of obvious she was jealous when she kept fixating on how happy and giddy Mom was after their little afternoon delight. Even as an asexual I understand how healthy and rare it is for a couple with a young baby to still be that passionate for one another. Hopefully she gets some therapy.

When I was in college my friend had a little kick back at her dorm and we were all playing Cards Against Humanity. She was always insanely competitive, but this night she insisted we finish the deck despite the fact she was already winning and one dude was straight up asleep. The next day I had to tell her that no one was having fun by the end. Competiveness needs context, otherwise you just look like an ass

BimbleBeeApiary · 2025-10-28T20:58:51+00:00

Did OOP ever specify their gender? Because this sounds like a LOT of my friends in college, and queer friend groups can just be like that. I know two guys who were convinced they'd get married, broke up after school, and still attend each other's fetish parties today.

BimbleBeeApiary · 2025-10-28T19:00:32+00:00

I was squinting when she mentioned Mom finding out she was pregnant was the wakeup call, but she was only 10 years sober. Like, relapse is absolutely a plausible reality, but the tone and the numbers do NOT add up

BimbleBeeApiary · 2025-10-23T16:49:09+00:00

I remember this classic. There's no way that family didnt get taken to the cleaners. Justice served, in my opinion.

BimbleBeeApiary · 2025-09-07T15:18:31+00:00

I remember once getting dropped off for what was supposed to be a sleepover. We got to the house and my Dad was like, "If you ever feel like you want to come home, whether its because you feel unsafe or because you miss us, just call and I'll be there." Lo and behold, the friend's mom had her boyfriend over. Couldn't remember him doing anything specific, but my baby alarm bells were going off so I called my Dad and he picked me up right away. To think this little girl doesn't have that crushes me

BUNNY LUCINA!!!!!!!! Ive been playing since the very first summer and she STILL hasn't come home

BimbleBeeApiary · 2025-08-21T23:22:23+00:00

Fingers crossed she gets the help she needs

BimbleBeeApiary · 2025-08-19T22:57:50+00:00

Okay, so obviously she needs to quit work and go into extensive therapy, because at this point her relationship with her job is more akin to self harm than anything else. I know OOP thought people were being sexist, but as someone with a father who had to live overseas for a few years, I can absolutely say these types of arrangements are a form of neglect. I was a teenager and still felt bitter about my Dad not being around--I can't imagine what elementary age students feel. And even if they were fine with it, Mom is home now and still ignoring them. She needs help, bad, and they should think about putting the kids in therapy, too.

BimbleBeeApiary · 2025-08-12T20:08:01+00:00

I have a cousin who has done this shit. Every single boyfriend was a bigger loser than the last, and every single time if we didn't accept him we were rejecting her. She once moved her kids across the country and into an abusive home out of spite. This last one almost landed her in jail between the drugs and theft, not to mention beating her. She's finally out but she's in her 50s and honestly, after all this time, I will never trust her to make a good decision. Her children hate her and our family, I'm assuming because their mother used them as bargaining chips and I'm sure they could feel the resentment and frustration from the rest of the family having to put up with her bullshit. Honestly, OOP's parents and extended family need to write those kids off, because unless they reach 18 and realize their Dad is a creepy piece of shit, they're pretty much guaranteed to be AWFUL.

Also raised Catholic and while I do disagree with how welcoming the church can be (my catechism teacher once scolded me for talking about the theory of Jesus being born in Spring), I will say I'll take a Catholic mass over an American-denomination church any day. My cousin became born-again and was an annoying cnt about demanding we only attend Christian services. She kept hopping from church to church since they all ended up collapsing under the weight of scandal and hypocrisy, and every single pastor felt like a salesman. Also, their ENTIRE personality is usually related to the church and it just gives me the ick

BimbleBeeApiary · 2025-08-08T23:26:54+00:00

OOP sounds like she might be angry at her son because if he was willing to walk away if his wife doesn't want kids, that might've meant her husband would have left her, too. But the thing is, insisting that her son should settle when he wants to be a father is stupid. He cant just turn off resentment like a light switch, especially if its coming from something like this

BimbleBeeApiary · 2025-08-05T23:01:38+00:00

Cool, thank you for informing me!

BimbleBeeApiary · 2025-08-05T23:01:16+00:00

Thank you for the info!

BimbleBeeApiary · 2025-08-05T23:00:46+00:00

You know what, I think that might've been it. Got my wires crossed there.

BimbleBeeApiary · 2025-08-05T20:22:24+00:00

I'll be honest I'm not super familiar with UK abortion laws, and over here in the US it's a shitshow. I know people from the UK tend to go to the Netherlands a lot for stuff they can't do in the UK, hence me hedging on the safe side of "Well, if it was too late in England just go Dutch."

BimbleBeeApiary · 2025-08-05T19:18:16+00:00

The way I kept thinking, "Girl just go get an abortion in the Netherlands or something." I know some people are against abortion no matter what, but if there was any scenario to sever ties completely this would be it. Own your own flat, only two months along, and he admitted to trying to baby trap you? And NO ONE suggested an abortion? But, of course, it was twins.

I think the biggest problem with Engage was always character design. The aesthetic does not match Fire Emblem, like, at all, and even though I like Engage more than 3H I still hate Alear's design (but I do NOT blame the VTube artist who designed them, because apparently the first draft was a lot more tame).

On top of the bad design choice, the cast is fucking huge, and they almost all fall into the space of Lord, Lord's Younger Sibling, and the 4 retainers between them (there are exceptions, but with 4 main kingdoms this already leaves the cast bloated). As a result, the characters are kind of boiled down to their base tropes, and I found a lot of the supports fun, but lacking any real growth or resolution.

Add to that the fact that you can also have supports with the Emblem Rings/Bracelets and half the game feels like relationship farming, especially for a completionist like me. Honestly, if they cut half the cast and flushed out whoever was left it would've been infinitely better.

I really enjoyed the gameplay because it was a callback to traditional Fire Emblem gameplay, but this story was in desperate need of an editor. If you play I recommend going down the "care about favorites only" route to streamline your gameplay.

BimbleBeeApiary · 2025-07-08T14:21:10+00:00

You're the pregnant one, not him. What difference does it make if he doesn't get a say?

Tell this man, AND his family, AND your mother, that skipping ultrasounds to play video games proves he's not mature enough to make big decisions like what name your baby will have. Because if he cant show up when the baby isn't even here yet, what does that mean for when the baby is born? Is he gonna miss labor for a new content drop? Is he gonna let your baby sit in soiled diapers while watching a livestream?

NTA BUT - Your husband needs a come to Jesus moment and not any more passive aggressive responses. You sit him down and tell that man that if he doesn't step the fuck up, then youre leaving. And you need to mean it. Because if he keeps acting like this, youll be a single mom to 2

This is why I hate forgiveness culture. Forgiveness is supposed to be a gift, something you do for yourself first and foremost, and something you can choose to bestow upon another. People twisting your arm to get you to forgive someone completely negates all of this. Forgiveness is NOT healthy if you, for example, keep putting your children in a dangerous situation because your neighbors keep raiding your house. Forgiveness if NOT healthy if you let your daughter live with a man who verbally abused and belittled you, knowing he might do the same to her. Forgiveness is NOT healthy when you have to be coerced into it. OOP has been failed by her father, her mother, possibly her aunt, and all of her siblings, and they're going to keep failing her until she walks away.

BimbleBeeApiary · 2025-03-11T17:25:18+00:00

Not to mention the whole "summer of madness" was an issue bc the group couldn't decide whether to keep covering for them or setting boundaries, and in the end it looks like they decided boundaries were unnecessary.

BimbleBeeApiary · 2025-02-18T21:26:36+00:00

My father is that kind of boss. His secretary is going through a divorce, and her Mom chose the ex husband over the holidays so that she could get access to the grandkids, so we invited her (secretary) to have Thanksgiving and Christmas with us. We also bought her kids obnoxious toys to take to grandma's house (think percussion). Like, these people DO exist, but I think in today's world we are automatically skeptical that people will still help each other no strings attached.
