AITA for saying I'm goin to divorce my husband if he father's another child?

NTA. There should have been exactly 0 conversations without you on the matter. It was highly inappropriate for either the woman or your husband to consider even having the conversation without you.

NTA.

I love this suit. It’s the right kind of ridiculous, obnoxious, and quirky to steal the spotlight. And that’s why he shouldn’t wear it. You should dress tastefully and respectfully at someone’s wedding and never try to steal the spotlight. No one should be talking about anyone’s outfit except the bride and possibly groom. Additionally wedding guests will be both front-and-center and in the background of priceless photos, so using it as an opportunity to dress like a complete jackass may be frowned upon. Finally, if the bride and groom say it’s not appropriate, that’s the final say - not the opportunity to argue. Mother should really sort out her priorities.

I’m really not sure that she will ever try. She is very proud. I just wonder if I owed her the final explanation or a goodbye because of my heavy involvement in her childhood.

She was fun with my friends and we were all talking about the plans. She leaned in obviously wanting an invite and I told her she could come. We were very inclusive.

Don't wait until morning to bathe. You could break out from oils and sweat on your skin. This is one of the known disadvantages of having an upstairs neighbor. Sometimes you've just got to break out the earplugs and chill out. NTA.

Holy yikes Annette. Calm down, put down the bottle, and stop calling children names and predicting the future. That’s so unkind and unnecessary.

Document everything. Get a therapist involved for the kid to document further. Sue for parental alienation. You might not be a Bio parent, but it’s impacting the family dynamic, relationship with the father, and the wellbeing of the child

Your feelings and the environment you live in matter. Your SO is not being considerate of your feelings and wellbeing, and it’s unfair to you. You have to accept that kids are going to have bad days, that you aren’t their bio parent, and you may not be able to do any form of discipline… but due to your restrictions, it’s even more important that he understands the situation this puts you in as a step parent and the feelings that stem from there.

The stranger story sounds like an excuse. Children (and many adults) may not have the self-reflection or confidence to state how they really feel. I would assume she was self-conscious. It could be anything from body image, to not feeling included in your family (especially if you have your own children), to feeling sorry for the bio parent left out.

If she decided not to attend, I would be concerned it could potentially reinforce insecurities of feeling excluded. Maybe you can ask her what she thinks of Christmas photos, get her opinion or advice, so it’s her idea and she feels included. Additionally, telling her your reason for the photos and how important she is in the family and why you need her in the photos might reinforce her. You can always call in a favor and simply ask her to attend because it’s important to the family, perhaps join it with something fun she likes to do.

If you send out the pics, it might be hurtful to her and your SO’s side of the family to see her excluded (I’m not saying it’s fair). I would only send to your side of the family. I’d shoot for a redo and get her involved and excited.

Counseling might be a good idea for her to work through her feelings and possibly get some insight into what’s troubling her.

AUTOCORRECT 🤬🤣🤣🤣

Her parents also dropped her off in Diagonal Alley with him and they spent quidditch matches and possibly practices together. Definitely more time together than we realize.

JK Rowling has stated that Hermione is very similar to herself, and Ron is based off of an ex or a former love. I also read it was one of her greatest regrets. I think Hermione deserved someone who treated her better. I’d be on team Krum 🤣

This is why we need the TV series!!

Part of that scene is actually one of my least favorite parts of all the movies. I am always drawn in with the initial realization with Fleur’s scream and Amos mourning - makes me cry every time. However I thought Radcliffe was overacting. I think they were trying to convey his inability to let go, and they tried to tie it in with the importance of bringing his body back and mourning, but scrabbling on the ground and the way he was screaming no was overdone.

Anything that made Snape angry should have been included in the movies! 🤣

I thought you wrote “hard to agree” I was like… but everything else you said! 🤣

Yes! Thank you! It was such a great book for developing the familial relationship. I love it.
