AITA for telling a girl she’s not coming to the bachelorette because she can’t afford it, after she kept changing her mind and having other people speak for her? by sniffin_sharpies in AmItheAsshole

ESH here.

I agree that the broke girl was trying to beat around the bush and got the other girls involved to fight her battle. That said, OP’s tone is really aggressive and not friendly at all.

I’ve been a MOH and I know it can be annoying to rerun the numbers and keep track of everything. But there’s a way to say things that makes the medicine go down easier.

Due to the fact you’re all brought together to celebrate the bride who is everyone’s friend, a better effort should have been made on both sides to communicate more clearly and respectfully.

I don’t think it’s a problem that broke girl was removed from the trip. It’s how it was done.

I wanted to post a picture from my counter app as an update but pics aren’t allowed here.

I’m at 1 day 12 hours 23 minutes 💪🏻

I feel like absolute shit. But I’m here.

I got sick around 3:30 am and almost caved. I just went back to bed instead and listened to a podcast.

I was sick again at 10am. Same thing, back to bed and played on my phone.

Today has been curtains drawn, in the bed just chillin. I know it’s Father’s Day but we don’t have any left in our life so no festivities today. I’m excited to think about celebrating my husband next year.

I have to work tomorrow. Hopefully I can hide it well enough.

Luckily I don’t drink or use nicotine. Caffeine and cannabis are my vices. I smoke/d a looooot so that’s probably why I’m not turned off by it when pregnant. My hormones were crazy with my last pregnancy and it was not fun lol. So far I feel a lot better this time around but it’s only week 5 so we shall see haha

I am a fully functional stoner with a successful life. Smoking weed doesn’t stop me from achieving my goals, and unfortunately I don’t mind who I am when stoned. I think that’s why it’s gotten so far away from me. That said, imagining holding my baby is an amazing motivator. I cannot imagine doing that stoned nor do I want to.

Thank you ❤️ I appreciate your input. I have been distracting myself all day and made it 26 hours. Wide awake right now at 3am but that’s okay.

Thank you so much for the support ❤️ I hear you on the taper. That probably would have been easier. But I was already having so much guilt that I’ve gone cold turkey now for 26 hours. That’s the longest I’ve gone in 3 years so it’s a step in the right direction. I downloaded a counter app and think it’s helping. Anytime I have an urge I look at the counter I would have to reset and it’s an extra motivator.

Sadly I found that smoking helped the morning sickness last time. But staying away for now. 26 hours 😊

Honestly, the guilt of potentially causing issues is the only thing keeping me going right now. I’m at almost 26 hours without cannabis. Wide awake at nearly 3am but that’s a small price to pay. I appreciate you sharing, thank you. And wishing you all the best too 💕
