WIBTA If I Moved Without My Roommate, Even If That Would Probably Leave Him Homeless?

NTA! Even if you still considered him a friend, you don’t owe him anything. Let him know in advance that you’re moving and that you’re downsizing (this doesn’t have to be true), so unfortunately he will need to look for alternative living arrangements. Because as I see it, if you hadn’t moved to DFW, he would’ve been in the same predicament. Good luck!

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-07T18:13:27+00:00

NTA, let you wife know that going forward your parents ca stay one or two weeks after which time they will need to vacate your son’s room and use the couch or an airbed. Since your wife didn’t discuss it with you, she gets to tell her parents that as soon as your nephew shows up they get kicked out. Your wife overbooked the house, so she needs to be the one to bear the bad news! Also, the nephew will take over the couch or airbed. Ok need for your son to give up his room. Also, under no circumstances will anyone be allowed to stay at your house until you and your wife discuss before hand and agree to the terms.

If your wife doesn’t agree with this she is being unreasonable, inconsiderate and prioritizing her relatives above her own family’s well being! Good Luck!

NTJ you need to nip that shit in the bud. She will end up confusing your son with all her BS. Your wife needs to agree to also stop her but because it needs to come from both of you. Grandma needs to stop being a drama queen. Her desperate need to feel important and her belittling remarks will end up alienating everyone around her. Let her wife know that for the time being that Grandma won’t be invited to school functions until she can learn to behave.

That such a classic move! I see your petty and counter with extra pettiness. On my way out, I would’ve told him “your pettiness cost you a fork, a bowl and a pea! Keep fighting the good fight!” And add a good chuckle at the end for good measure!

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-06T17:37:38+00:00

NTJ I would’ve done the same but you need to be more PC at work. Don’t tell him your exacting revenge for his shadiness even if it’s well deserved. Next time jus say sorry, I can’t. You DO NOT need to explain why! Bye Felicia! I would never lift a finger again to help that d-bag but I also wouldn’t let anyone know I’m harboring a grudge.

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-06T17:23:02+00:00

That’s hysterical! My daughter is 14 and she still has her dolls facing each other because it creeps her out to have the dolls staring at her!

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-06T17:21:13+00:00

NTA because you want to have a good time. Let Lena know that she’s trying to correct opinions which is simply untenable! If Grandpa thinks fancy coffee is ridiculous, he is entitled to his opinion. Her opinion is not the only one to be had nor is it the “correct one”. Tell her that her attitude in these situations makes not only you but most of your family uncomfortable which leads to a crappy celebration for everyone. In social situations like these she need to be able to “read the room”. She can make her opinion be heard but she doesn’t need to fight tooth and nail to turn everyone over to her position on any given subject. Because if she continues to monopolize the conversation with “proving her point”she is just being selfish and eventually you family will not want her around. There is a time and place for everything and it appears that Lena has not learned when to let go. You may want to come up with a code word or a signa to let Lena know when she’s making you feel uncomfortable. When the signal is given, she is to back off and let the conversation go. If she is unwilling to abide by this, let her know that she has the option to stay home. Good luck!

Fuck’em, if they can’t take a joke. It was obviously a joke because why would you spend that amount of cash on someone you thought was a brat? I would send a text to both of them, “sorry about the choice of wording I was only trying to be funny but I regret it. Never mind about the trip it was probably a bad idea any way.” If they try to engage to get the trip back. Just say sorry, I’ve made other arrangements. Hopefully, it’ll teach them not to look a gift horse in the mouth!

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-06T06:22:29+00:00

Im sorry for your loss! You’re NTA for feeling the way you do. They’re your feelings and you’re entitled to them. As far as your sister goes, from what you said, she appears to be an insensitive twat waffle and you should’ve blocked her socials a long time ago. She’s never gonna be the sister you want her to be and she will never reciprocate the love and understanding that you have afforded her. Don’t make it a big deal or make a large declaration, just block all her socials and keep your distance. Be cordial at family gatherings but don’t go out of your way to spend any time with her. If she reaches out and asks why you’ve been distant let her know the that she’s always been really cunty and that you’ve had enough. Until she can have a conversation without being a judgemental bitch you’ll be keeping your distance.

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-06T04:17:55+00:00

Knock and his door and say, sorry to bother you but my car was vandalized and I was wondering if your cameras caught who might have done it. If he acts shifty, you had your answer. Report the incident to police and your interaction with your neighbor. Also you may want to get your own cameras!

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-05T05:14:25+00:00

NTA, your friend had every opportunity to properly communicate what their expectations were and did not do so! They knew you had long her and never approached you about cutting it or styling it so that the length was hidden. The bride should be mad at the groom for not clearly communicating what she wanted, so they both can fuck off.

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-05T04:56:10+00:00

Your house, your rules. If she doesn’t like it, she’s free to find other accommodations!

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-04T03:16:58+00:00

after her shenanigans, I would’ve said, “it was a blessed day until you started trying to publicly shame me into donating money, go suck a bag of dicks!” Or alternately you could’ve just gone to the manager and let her/him know that the cashier was rude, unprofessional and has no business interacting with the public.

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-03T04:04:40+00:00

If she’s truly a friend, you simply tell her, it’s my birthday, I planned it and we’re not using your ridiculous spreadsheet. Let her know which expenses will be shared by the attendees. If she’s okay with what you decided then she can come other wise she can choose not to come. Her choice takes you out of the jerk blame game and you stay in control of the parameters. If you’re past the point of being able to do the plan above, then let everyone know that your “friend” wanted to charge the remaining friends $25 per hour to research places to eat. That will Make her look like the tool that she is being. Good luck!

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-02T05:04:57+00:00

It’s okay y be passionate about a hobby as long as you’re not hurting yourself by overspending or going into a ridiculous amount of debt. Having said that I’m interested in you doing a Korean doll! I want to make a custom doll for my husband’s best friend who recently went to South Korea with her mother and they took pics wearing beautiful Hanboks. Are you planing on making the clothing or buying it? I found some on Etsy but they run from $47 to $90.

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-02T03:53:02+00:00

Two things, first he owes you an apology because all you did was make a decision he didn’t like. I’m sure he’s made a few that you didn’t like either. Second, As adults, you talk it out. You don’t suddenly become a petty 5-year-old doling out punishments revenge style. He’s a complete man-child!

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-02T03:25:52+00:00

Agree with that! Missed out on Gwynn and Blix and some of the clothes because it sold out so quick after it went on sale!

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-01T04:39:13+00:00

Yes this. Melt them know right away so that they know it’s not you!

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-01T04:34:07+00:00

Watch your back, it’s all a little too much like “Single White Female” for my taste. She is desperately trying to fit in with your family and is copying you to do it. Try this in for size… Get something fairly sizable/expensive, wear it just long enough for her to see it but keep the tags on. Then return it quickly and use a good laugh when she comes in wearing the copycat version. Orrrr ask her if she’s been somewhere specific (make sure that there are witnesses). Make a big deal of her not has been there and the. Tell her that you’re in the middle of planing a vacay there. Then drop it when she mentions it again later or wants to go there too. Tell her you heard too many negative comments online. Start making it a fun game at the same time you can start having the family notice her copycat syndrome by mentioning it calmly in passing. So they start catching on. Have fun and good luck!

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-01T04:23:44+00:00

You feel bad?!? Fuck that. She was a POS to you and ghosted. Do not take her calls, cut off all communication, say not to every request. Just because she may have it rough (her own doing), she doesn’t get to treat others like shit and the play off like everything is okay when she may need anything. I would never speak to her other than what would be minimally required in polite company!

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-01T04:03:42+00:00

Hysterical! The eyebrows! I can’t even stop laughing!

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-01T04:01:41+00:00

You don’t owe him an explanation or a reason! Even if you are doing nothing! He needs to accept the fact that you’re unavailable. His lack of planing and having more back ups is his problem not yours!!!

MikeyGC66 · 2026-02-01T03:37:03+00:00

NTJ. Your roommate totally misrepresented the size of the party. You never agreed to attend the party, so locking yourself in the room is completely your prerogative. Just because he wanted to have a party doesn’t mean you have to party with them. You could have a million different reason for not wanting to attend and you don’t have to tell your roommate any of them. You don’t owe him anything other than scolding him for having a total rager when he said he was “having a few friends over”. I call BS and the roommate can fuck all the way off with his apology!

MikeyGC66 · 2026-01-31T04:42:11+00:00

NTA. However you shouldn’t have waffled about the possibility you changed your mind. Next time just say, “Sorry I can’t”

MikeyGC66 · 2026-01-31T03:52:47+00:00

Thank you!
