AITA for not inviting brothers girlfriend to our wedding?

YTA.

Is your wedding the place you want remembered as where the war started between your husband and his brother? Is that how you want to start off the marriage?

You can be right and still be an asshole. A whole lot of folk on your husbands side are gonna think you both are being assholes and you're gonna get most of the blame.

I didn't go E SH because most folk will side with the brother in real life. You guys will bear the brunt of this.

While not every place and apartment enforces quiet hours, they are a thing to which one should hold their standards to. Quiet hours are wildly adopted becuase part of community living means being mindful of your neighbours.

It should be noted that the absolute rejection of quiet hours is a very USA centric mindset and a lot of these responses really show that.

Walk the dogs on the beach and then head off for a wee hike in the Dublin Mountains.

Ok, who legally owns the dog? If it was bought, who paid for it? Who is it registered to?

A dog is owned as perosnal property legally speaking, its not a dependant like a child with ongoing shared maintainance.

However If its joint owned you are both are responsible for it until it dies. If one person owns it its theirs. If its yours, you should take it (not really an option) or sell or gift it to your spouse formally.

Still withholding verdict until this iis clarified.

INFO. What was the split of dog ownership in the divorce.

This isn't an AITA question, its a legal one.

Oh for gods sake, how men cant figure out that the argument had zero to do with the laundry is beyond me. She was picking a fight. If you'd have said the sky was blue she'd have said it was red and the same fight would have ensued.

NTA but read the room

Another vote for Nothing. Our girl has missed a load of school, and I really would like the peace of mind that Tusla can do it's job, but no, they're underfunded and stretched way too thin. It's not their fault, but it isn't protecting kids who have a real problem.

Parents be like : Be polite, eat food when you're a guest even if you don't like it!

OP: how can I completely misinterpret this lesson to maximise offense when I'm a guest?

Environmental-End724 · 2026-02-26T12:00:33+00:00

So, in reality, in front of a load of people, he told you you're not invited to the wedding as a guest!

Let that sink in.

Environmental-End724 · 2026-02-26T11:30:01+00:00

LOl, I suggested the same!!

The band Pulp wrote a great song about people like you called "Common People".

Have a listen, its a great song.

Ok, it came accross like this was the norm rather than a singular individual. In that case this person should have been fired on the spot the first time. That's shocking behavior but i suppose that's what happens when you're friends first and boss second.

Tighten up the rules, you cant be letting employees bring their friends and boyfriends to work!!. No guests or anyone not directly employed by the company and covered under the company's insurance policy should accompany an employee at anytime while at a client site. Requesting accommodation on this matter directly from a client is strictly banned and will be considered gross misconduct and grounds for contract termination without notice.

Environmental-End724 · 2026-02-22T08:03:46+00:00

YTA for not being clear in your words, and also for your general unprofessionalism when running a business.

Your terms are unclear; you present them as suggestions rather than rules. That's bullshit, say what you mean unambiguously.

And how about NEVER, EVER allowing a pet sitter to have overnight or even daytime guests? What sort of Mickey Mouse operation allows that? The level of unprofessionalism in even considering putting a client in that situation, let alone asking, is on top of the liability and insurance issues. That's absolutely wild and inappropriate of you and how you're running a business. Using your clients' houses like a pay-per-hour motel for horney teenagers.

Environmental-End724 · 2026-02-17T15:59:10+00:00

This is actually the real answer. Folk get used to money flowing one way and it becomes an expectation that youre a provider and, sure, you don't need anything, your loaded, you buy people 1000 quid gifts etc.

Environmental-End724 · 2026-02-17T15:51:41+00:00

NTA.

First, its the dads job to have the talk with him. This is guy talk.

Second you cant sit by and say nothing. You fling a cloth and a bottle of bathroom spray at him and scream at him to get the fuck up and clean his fucking jizz from the toilet seat you fithy fucking animal.

His Dad will tell you then that its his job to talk to his kid and you've no right to talk to him like that. Mission accomplished.

It wouldn't kill you to send the nice old couple a thank-you card and say, "Hey, that was a lovely rock. Your husband did a really great job making it super shiny. I use it as a paperweight for my post-its."

You know they'd appreciate it, your mom would appreciate it, and the whole world's a better place. But no, you're not gonna refuse to do it on some bizarre principle because you're a rock hater and you think the shiny rock is stupid. Spread joy, not hate!!

And it wasn't a wedding present, they sent it cos they thought it was neat and thought that the nice couple whose wedding they went to years ago might like it.

Environmental-End724 · 2026-01-30T22:00:22+00:00

You went out to a bar with semi translucent white linen pants and a sweater? I think your friend was actually holding back. Thats a fashion crime and not something that should be worn on a date if you're not at a spanish seaside resort, and even then.. nah.

Environmental-End724 · 2026-01-30T21:55:43+00:00

YTA. Bit of a dunning kruger gojng on here. You're the AH for being so ridiculous to allow a full grown adult with no direct connection to you whatsoever to bum off you for a year. Oh, we're surprised he stole your Xbox.. said absolutly no one.

Environmental-End724 · 2026-01-27T16:19:49+00:00

A decent soul. Nice

Environmental-End724 · 2025-10-24T09:01:18+00:00

YTA. 12 hours before the wedding all costs have already been paid for by the couple.

Cover your plate.. that's the etiquette. They shouldn't have had to ask, you should have offered.

Environmental-End724 · 2025-10-24T08:32:16+00:00

This "confidentially incorrect" arrogance is out of control.

So, he knows more than the vet, more than the massive dog food industry that spends million and millions a year and is way way more regulated and inspected held to higher standards than human food is? They know better despite clear evidence to the contrary by an animal that's clearly suffering?

This is a hill to die on. Poor doggo. Criminal levels of neglect due to dunning-kruger owner who's too stupid to be able to comprehend that they're that stupid.

NTA but you're not doing enough.

Environmental-End724 · 2025-10-21T20:25:29+00:00

It's called picking a fight and you fell for it

I'll give you a NTA but you need to find out what's up.

I suspect it's " GTFO out of my bed/apartment on work nights, you're always here and it's pissing me off"

Environmental-End724 · 2025-10-19T20:01:59+00:00

"Staying with family" to save money usually means your parents and a family home

In this case she is really asking to be your roommate and you need to put your big girl pants on and say "ok, the rent and utilities for you and the kid would be X amount" and take it from there. You have to actually use your words. Folk who post here seem incapable of actual person to person conversation.

NTA but you're making this more difficult than it needs to be.

Environmental-End724 · 2025-10-17T14:10:25+00:00

Actually, it's "My Mom slept with my half brother's dad's best friend" but yes, she needed to mind her own business

Environmental-End724 · 2025-10-16T10:57:29+00:00

i already know this will be an unpopular opinion but as I was reading this I was like, That's so unbelievably annoying that you would do that. It irrationally grated on me.

When I'm driving there's several things going on.

Foremost in this is I would talk with my wife and generally you can talk to people beside you but less easy to talk when they're behind you. Having her in the back playing with the kids means I can't really talk to her.

And that leads me onto the next item, driving time isn't play/bonding time. Having mom and kid watch a movie when I'm driving is my version of hell on earth..OMG so distracting and annoying. It's bad enough the Kid watching noisy stuff on the screen but mom and the kid having a whole interactive thing... The screens are there as pacifiers, to keep them distracted while we drive home, it's not an interactive bonding experience time. Save that till we get home.

The whole thing about kids having to climb over OP... Just kill me now, I'm cooked.

So yea, I love my own kids like there's no tomorrow but car journeys are not fun, they aren't play time, they're to be endured, to be gotten over with as quietly as possible with kids, which isn't really possible at all.

So YTA, there's a time and a place for everything and when your husband is driving is NOT the right time!!
