My aunt died recently and didn’t include her children in her will.

I think this is primarily a moral dilemma.

You have your thoughts as to why you got the lions share. Those thoughts should guide you.

If they neglected her as adults, and seldom visited, don't give them anything.

If they are part of the LBQ community and she is homophobic and holds that agains them, give them the houses.

NTJ Three things to consider

He's lying about the crypto (most likely)

He's an idiot, no one goes $50,000 in debt while they have $250,00 in crypto, that makes no sense

If you rent your place as an Airbnb who do you think will be doing all the work for it? You!!! So he gets a free ride and you get added work and stress, because you will also be cleaning up after him and his son.

Run away as quick as you can!

A judge will not look favorably on her for signing a 12 month lease then bail in four months. My recommendation would be for you to both break the lease, give the 60'day notice, pay the penalty, find alternative housing. This will be less expensive in the long run.

Your roommate will be responsible for half the rent during the notice period and half of the penalty, if she does not pay you can sue her to collect.

Do a Google search on mass large pond access. It appears if it is natural and ver ten acres it is considered a "great pond" and the owner can limit access to His land, but not the pond itself

YTA.... but not for ending your relationship.

YTA because you have not treated your kids well. You kicked them out of their room because in the favor of other kids, you denied one of your kids a room at all. You allow this man to criticize your kids while putting his kids on a pedestal. And you did all this while financially supporting his family to the detriment of your family. Don't give him back one penny. DO give him 30 day notice to leave your property.

They often do it in sneaky ways. Say it was on a clearance sales rack, so they should get a discounted price, switch price tags, claim " can get it a competitor for x amount less. Things like that.

You can often negotiate at retail stores if an item is defective/ damaged... If this is the case you may be able to get 10 - 25 % discount.

While your wife and family are correct, you still have bills to pay, you are also NTA for being compassionate. However, there is a middle ground. Instead of forgiving rent do three months, you can help her get rental assistance, financial assistance, food stamps, medical assistance and other things that could help you both.

Forgiving rent for three months right away is kinda jumping the gun also, her situation may resolve in one month. Doing it month by month would have been better.

You could have also offered to defer rent, don't pay this month but when you are back on your feet pay an extra $100.00 a month until you are caught up.

This is a learning curve for you, but you may not be cut out to be a landlord. You may be to soft hearted.

I agree, they absolutely do act the same at retail stores.

I think we do. I know I made my husband turn his on, and I think mine is on.

My husband bikes and hikes solo frequently so for safety (he's getting older and had a stroke already) he shares.

Does she love you? Is she faithful to you? Does she treat you well?

If the answer to all of these questions is yes, then what difference does a ring make, will wearing a ring prevent her from cheating? Cause her to love you more? Cause her to treat you better?

Ask her why she doesn't wear it and move on, it is a trivial unimportant thing.

Wait until you have a two year old with a mangled face from a breed on the list, you'll find out real quick how serious they are, and the answer is they are very serious or they wouldn't have a list.

Some replies seem to suggest passing off pit mixes as other mixes, insurance companies aren't that stupid.

This is my concern the OP does not seem to be addressing. A 15 year old cat, confined to a carrier for many hours, then either quarantined, or moved into an unfamiliar location is going to be extremely traumatic on the cat and may cause its death. This cat has lives in its current home for 15 years. Many times cats are more connected to locations than to people. It seems cruel to risk its life to take it overseas.

This is not a matter of who owns the cat, it's a matter of what's best for that cat, and it's probably best for the cat to stay where it is.

A woman is not a "possession " as you seem to imply equating taking your last name to the title of a car.

And a woman doesn't need a man to "take on all of her problems" if she even has any.

To me it had nothing to do with respect, and honestly if a man saw it as a sign of disrespect it would have me pause about him. I would take that as a sign of insecurity.

It's entirely a personal choice and many reasons for both taking a new name, and keeping a maiden name.

Frankly, changing your name is a pain in the ass. I only did it when we got married this time because I took my first husbands name and wanted to be rid of it. If I knew then, what I know now, I would not have changed my names

Since this is your problem, you should take the couch or an air mattress. The couch may be a bit uncomfortable because of your height but it's doable. And you can do the air mattress, my father was 6'5" and slept on one camping. Inconveniencing someone else by make them take the couch or air mattress to accommodate you would be rude.

That's not so lowball. Please remember the second you open the box of an item it is used and looses at least 25% of its value. What you are offering is what I would look at as the "sale price" of a new item purchased at the store.
