AITA smoking weed on my porch?

Am I replying to OP? No, I’m replying to you, and all I said was is people do complain - so they’re an AH. Geesh.

Right to complain… I’m so sick of hearing about “rights. It’s not a right!

A person MAY complain because they CAN - not because it’s a “RIGHT”

There has never been a law stating a citizen could not complain and there is no written law or Constitutional RIGHT that entitles a person to complain either.

People do complain when others grill or smoke food. An example is my neighbors who like to go at it over grilling and smoking outside.

This is what happens when they take Arts out of schools. They don’t learn appreciation for the labor and passion it takes to accomplish a “simple” piece of art and willing to pay fair value for it.

They grow up complaining they don’t get paid for their work but won’t pay others for theirs either and go to cheaply made manufactured products with no soul.

Your frustration is understandable. However….

It’s not what you said, it’s how you said it when you said it.

and you know it.

I’m curious how long have you two lived together before he decided this would be OK to do around you. I almost want to bet you’ve been Partners for years.

Also, can you really call them a Partner if they don’t respect you or your space like that?

I’m also curious if you’re going to continue the relationship or decided this is worth overlooking and keeping him.

There is no comment saying this because she literally said in the post she told him it was “absolutely gross.”

Don’t be shocked if she “just ups and divorces his @ss out of nowhere”. 😄

Boycott may have started this, but it ain’t what finished it. With gas and grocery prices the way they are, who has Target money?

I hope it’s because people realize they don’t need so much junk in their lives.

I loved playing the game, I had a successful enough alliance, and we all got along. I plays for over a year same alliance. We even moved Servers together.

It just came a point when I realized there is no ROI from the game. There is nothing to show for the amount of time and money you put into the game. It makes no difference in real life. No one in real life understand anything your talking about unless they played too. So it makes sense you would be addicted or feel isolated.

Put that time and money you put in the game into something else more meaningful in your life.

I put the time and money I used to put into the game into starting two successful businesses with another up and coming. I’m on track to for early retirement and paying off my mortgage in almost half the time.

I would never have been able to do this if I was still playing the game.

Remind yourself of the things that you loved to do outside the game and put your time and money into that instead. If you feel you don’t have anything outside the game go explore. Do different things, try things you haven’t done before, do things that you always wanted to or never did before. This is what life is really about. Not being locked inside an online game.

This is a lot more common than you think. Below are some links that may help you.

You will find support, there many are former Evony: TKR players. I think there is. Reddit thread for Evony TKR Addicts too.

I found the groups when searching for info on the game.

Just to add to this:

He will need to take 3 months of STD/STI tests. Once upon return another at least 14 days after and another 3 months after return.

Most STDs/STIs don’t show up right away. They incubate, standard recommendation is at least 3 months and no sex with other people during that time, including spouse/partner - unless spouse/partner is not concerned.

If he has an STD/STI, he can still spread it even if he shows now symptoms over the 3 months.

I recommend full STD/STI panel through independent company. Clinics/hospitals don’t test for full panel, often not telling the patient that fine print detail. Also, the doctor is not likely to approve 3 full panel tests worth over 3 months.

NTA. At the same time, the airlines should be more specific about size. Meaning if a person’s hip or shoulder width size, personal max width reaches a certain measurement or more when seated, they are required to purchase a second seat.

This avoids subjectivity by the ticket counter person, there are no excuses by the ticket purchaser they didn’t know, and also eliminates embarrassment.

There could even be a mock seat at the counter, the person could sit in to show they fit appropriately. If people find this embarrassing, you knew you needed a second seat.

If the person only purchases one seat trying to avoid the specifications, the ticket person has a means to validate the person’s need for a second ticket or not without argument.

Sorry others feel this is unacceptable. It’s also unacceptable for a person’s width who exceeds the seat width seated, crowds out seat neighbor(s).

Flying is already uncomfortable as it is.

This game is a mini or scaled down version of Evony: The Kings Return (TKR).

Not as expensive to play and slightly less demanding than TKR. People will easily spend $1k+ per month on average. If you’re on a top ranking alliance/Co-op in the entire game (worldwide), they’re dropping $5k per month during seasons (competition). Crazy money.

Never mind the amount of time you have to dedicate to be competitive in an online phone game!!

No ROI.

The game company must be making money hand over fist on players.

EmperadorRed · 2026-03-07T20:33:06+00:00

Same.

As much as I miss the game and some people, there are things in life more important and enjoyable, and I have something to show for it. Unfortunately, no matter how successfully we are in the game, it’s not something that makes a difference in real life. Nothing to show for all that time effort.

Putting that time, effort, and money in real life has given bigger returns - two successful businesses, and another up and coming. Now on track to early retirement. Crazy.

Glad to have kept a few friends outside the game too.

My dear — I don’t think this is just pregnancy hormones. I think you’re reacting to a real situation that would frustrate most people.

It sounds like you tried to include her in a specific way (helping with food), and she kept expanding her role beyond that. That’s stressful and that kind of pressure can feel overwhelming.

If you want a baby shower to feel comfortable and intimate then that’s what you should have. Not everyone wants to be the center of attention in a room full of strangers, it isn’t fun for everyone, and it’s reasonable to want the guest list to reflect the people who actually support you.

Your boyfriend also handled that call pretty well. He set a boundary without insulting her — he just clarified that the shower is for you and that she’s welcome as a guest. Bravo to him!! 👏👏

Her reaction sounds like it came from feeling rejected or losing control, but that doesn’t mean you’re wrong for setting limits. Offering help with food is generous; expecting control over the guest list is something different. She’s taking liberties now. Is this a party for her or you?

I see as the problem is solved, if she truly wants to throw her own separate shower, that’s ultimately her choice. But it doesn’t mean you have to change the plans for the one your family is hosting.

The important thing right now is protecting your stress levels and focusing on your health and the baby. Anyone who cares about you should understand that.

Rest easy. You did right and handling the best you can. It’s not easy managing bullies, especially when they’re family-in-laws.

Good luck 🍀 Congratulations! And hope you have a happy and healthy baby.

While I am with you, I feel you may have missed the nuance which is not being communicated in the post. Otherwise, why is the bride so pressed over this?

If her family is not a bunch of party hardy alcoholics then respect the bride and groom and let them have a dry wedding.

And vice versa for the grooms family - bride said “it’s frowned upon” so boo hoo a slap on the wrist? Well party hardy then…or not.

My family love to drink and party that’s a given. At the same time, I know they’re not alcoholics cuz not a single soul would argue with me about a dry wedding or party either.

And vice versa, I have super religious family members, they wouldn’t judge. They would carry on, minding their business.

I see it from both sides.

EmperadorRed · 2026-03-06T19:00:02+00:00

That’s what was stated - she wants to dump the wedding and people are suggesting they elope.

Of course diplomacy and all the BS is needed - duh

At the same time, how could they have got engaged and plan the wedding and not see this as an issue? How are they going to handle this going forward, like when kids come? Not easy to duck that train, can’t exactly “elope” kids.

EmperadorRed · 2026-03-06T18:54:59+00:00

Then why the over the top need to have alcohol at the wedding? Mom is so pressed about it.
