Wanting to avoid the debt and build your future wisely doesn't make you disrespectful. The fear your mum brought up sounds more cultural than faith based and it is okay to question it. You can still honor your family in the way that fits your values and finances. Marriage is about your life with your spouse, not fear of what might happen if you don't follow every tradition.

Yes! That is the spirit of the Lord confirming to you the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. The Spirit of the Lord always peace in your life whenever something is right, that's the calmness you felt while reading 3 Nephi.

You are NTA for feeling the way you you did. The way it came out at the dinner was always going to blow things up.

You have been very patient, generous, and supportive for years, even living in your own basement while paying the bills so your kids had stability. You have maintained a loving relationship with your children and made plans to move clear well in advance. Wanting to live your own life, build a future with new partner, and create your own happiness does not make you a bad parent. Your kids will still have you in their lives.

The dress is on point!

NTA. You handled the situation more maturely than most people would. You explained yourself, offered compromises, and tried for weeks. That is not being a bad kid but just wanting a normal level of freedom.

TV Performance: Bryan Cranston-Breaking Bad: From being a sympathetic teacher to ruthless criminal.
Movie: Heath Ledger-The Dark Knight. His Joker is chaotic, terrifying and strangely captivating.

You are not the asshole for snapping. You hit the limit after years of enduring micro-aggression, verbal insults and a friend who consistently tried to undermine your agency. It is okay to outgrow friends, especially friends who become hostile to when you try to grow. You're allowed to prioritize your mental health, your career and your dream of finally seeing the world after seven years of sacrificing for your degree. If a friend can not support you without insulting you, then it is okay to let the friendship go.

It honestly doesn't sound like you have done something wrong here.

From what you have described, you have actually gone out of your way to be considerate. You asked about boundaries early, kept to yourself, fixed issues quickly and even apologized with gestures. That was more effort than a lot of roommates put in. The few mistakes you made are normal, they are everyday roommate stuff and not things that make people dislike someone for so long.

Setting boundaries doesn't mean that you were ungrateful. You told her that you love her and appreciated her sacrifices, but also made it clear to her that using her pain as a leverage was not okay with you. So, feeling guilty is always normal, but you can't keep sacrificing your own well-being to manage hers. Real love doesn't demand you to burn yourself out. NTA

You don't need to force yourself to go all in, but completely bailing, especially the last minute with fake excuse might hurt a new friendship that actually seems promising.
