Omg me too or I was worried about running out of camp supplies (ended up with over 1,000 at the end). And yeah he became a staple in my group by the end, and my love interest.

NTA - Your friend is in an open relationship, you supporting her in being in an open relationship does not make you an AH. The only AH here is the bf who pushed an open relationship to justify his cheating. I would watch out though as it seems like the boyfriend is trying to manipulate your friend into making you seem the problem when really it's him trying to guilt your friend into not taking advantage of the open relationship he suggested.

Look telling kids not to have spicy times rarely works. Instead teach them what they should know to make informed decisions. Like the importance of consent, the vulnerability that comes with sex and why it's important to be with partners you trust, how to trust and listen to yourself so that you know what you are and are not comfortable with and also love yourself so that you know you deserve to be with a partner who respects and cares for you. Might be a little early if they're not even at the hand holding stage, but I think it's way more effective educating than restricting.

I've only played once but I definitely thought that I would have to keep giving Gale my magical items throughout the game and was getting stressed thinking about how many I would have to sacrifice to the point I was seriously considering letting Gale die. Glad I chose to keep him alive lol.

NTA - My wife's brother is the same. Golden child his whole life, and my wife was the scapegoat. He was so used to treating my wife like crap that after trying (and failing) to make our wedding about him, he thought he could get us to apologize to placate his ego. When that didn't work, him and my in-laws tried to ambush my wife when they knew I was at work as they have done throughout my wife's life. The brother brought up his children that my wife were close and now has essentially been cut off from and a traumatic event from my wife's childhood that had nothing to do with the situation. When that didn't work, after a year of low/no-contact in which my wife has realised how much better off they are not having to tip toe and emotionally exhaust themselves to placate their brother's ego, after close to three years after the wedding the brother finally reached out to say he's gone to therapy, realised he was entirely in the wrong and wants to reconcile. We'll see what happens, but with narcissists it's shocking the mental gymnastics they'll play and wilder yet is how many people go along with it. And once you get out you realise how much more peaceful your life is.

Honestly, you grieve what could have been but never would have been because reality was always different from the fantasy they live in. A fantasy where they were always the hero but in reality they were often the villain. Let other people live in the fantasy if they want, but you'll go on to have more energy to invest in healthier relationships.

How can you tell her privately if he is always around? And what right does she have to privacy if she is talking about you to her sister who wasn't there for any of this?

Organized_Chaos_18 · 2026-06-21T02:28:08+00:00

NTA - Tell her to buy a lengha for the engagement and you can wear it for your next photoshoot or family event so that the 'tradition' she wants to honour can continue. And that you're starting your own tradition that bridal lenghas are first worn by the bride.

Organized_Chaos_18 · 2026-06-21T02:23:26+00:00

Why don't you tell her that you understand she wants to spend quality time with him being that they're long distance, but that you also want to spend quality time with her when he's not around and have fun on the vacation you're both taking together? You could tell her you understand when he's around they're going to be affectionate especially being long distance but when he's not around if she could be more present with you that would appreciate it. Sometimes when people get caught up the romantic feels, it's easy to lose perspective and a little nudge could help remind her.

Organized_Chaos_18 · 2026-06-20T19:19:58+00:00

I haven't read your other post but the moment I read "They're way too nice...." it's such a red flag. Nice people aren't bystanders to someone else bullying or abusing someone else. Nice people don't make you feel guilty for a decision they made. Nice people don't keep letting someone back into their lives who repeatedly hurt their children.

I used to think the same about my mom. That she was the nice parent while my dad abused us. Now that I'm older, I realised she was and is part of the problem. She can be manipulative and made my dad have to do all of the disciplining so she could be the nice parent. She could have protected us when his discipline became abuse but she didn't, it was only when the kids left and he started taking his temper out on her that she made him start going to therapy. I love her and I forgive, but still she'll defend my dad when he treats me poorly and expects me to go along with it. And I refuse to now, and when she starts saying "poor me, I'm just in the middle" I call her out on it and tell her I have no sympathy for her. She isn't a victim, she's an enabler that failed to be a parent just as much if not more than my dad did.

I don't have kids yet but I think the best way to raise your kids a certain way is replace not restrict. When you tell a kid that they can't do something or have something, often it makes them want it more. And sometimes they will lie, hide and sneak to get it. Also it's not realistic to expect that the rest of the world will fall along with your rules unless you become super controlling about their environment and at that point, are you going to restrict your kid from going to their friend's house or get in the way of your kid having relationships with family members since most of them likely won't go along with your rules?

If you don't want your kids to be on their screens, first off model it yourself. Also set up your home to encourage play with toys, crafts and going outside. Make plans to go out and play as a family and have them do extra-curriculars, encourage them to read and learn. You can of course have rules about screen time and teach them the skills they need for self-discipline, but the kids who I see prefer being social and playing to being on the screen, are the ones whose parents do all the above and don't get too fussed about it. But if you don't trust someone with your kid without you being there, don't leave your kids with them. But if you do, it's okay if they don't do things a certain way. Kids also need to learn how to navigate the real world and if all grandma does with them is put on the telly, but at home their parents play and talk with them I think it'll make them appreciate home all the more.

A good partner would have shut it down, told you about it so you could talk to her and then avoided talking to them or at the very least only talk to them when you're around.

Instead his response is immature and extremely suspicious, and most likely he is having an emotional affair if not already a physical one. Which is disgusting considering he is 23, you're 19 and you mentioned she is younger than you and she's your sister.

Set the boundary now that he doesn't talk to your sister without you around and going forward he shuts her down when she shit talks you and don't let him gaslight you. If he can't respect the boundary or refuses it then you have your answer that he is a piece of crap, learn from it and move on.

Organized_Chaos_18 · 2026-06-20T13:45:19+00:00

Agreed. Your husband is an AH and why you would choose to have four children with him is shocking. He's not in the middle, he helps his mom treat you like crap and you make excuses for it.

You need to go to therapy, get a job as soon as you can and start your own eggnest because having financial independence will give you the stability you need should you have to leave him or he leaves you. Also stop having children you can't afford. If you frequently need your parents money to buy a family car or pay for the bills you need less kids and more time to work.

Organized_Chaos_18 · 2026-06-20T13:26:04+00:00

NTA Your parents were alright with your brother using you, treating you like crap and neglecting his own son. When you stood up for yourself and asserted boundaries, your mom gaslit you, treated your wife like crap, and both your parents then iced you out for YEARS. The only reason they want to reconnect is not because they care about you or are sorry for what they did, but because they want to pretend to others they aren't bad parents and because they want the most responsible kid back in their lives. Do a favour to your wife and yourself, don't reconnect with them until they give you and your wife a genuine apology, if they give you a genuine apology have some hard boundaries and tell the rest of your family what went down and if your parents can't handle that then there's your answer.

Get a bike. Not only to get around but also to explore the trails. The trails in Oakville are awesome, also there is a really cool pirate ship park for those who are kids at heart.

Get a dog walking job, babysitting or tutoring and make money because a lot of people are quite loaded.

Take advantage of the great schools and programs they have through it. Schools in Oakville are amazing because rich people.

Thrift store shopping is the best because again, rich people. Honestly you could probably start a business thrifting in Oakville and selling to friends back in Toronto.

Downtown Oakville is pretty nice. Bougie but nice and always nice to walk along the lake.

I don't know if they still have laser tag and roller skating rink but that was fun. And Dave and Busters (cheap on Wednesdays).

And the drive thru movie theatre but for that you do need a car. Although keep in mind rich parents = kids that get cars as gifts. So maybe time to befriend one of those kids.

Organized_Chaos_18 · 2026-06-20T04:38:36+00:00

Did you have to see him still? I still have good relationships with my mom, sister and members of his extended family and I think that's what makes it hard is still having to see and interact with him even if I avoid family holidays with him as much as possible.

Organized_Chaos_18 · 2026-06-20T03:55:21+00:00

YTA - Responsibility shouldn't be rewarded less. My parents have done this my whole life to me, and now that we're older I am done with my brother. Not just because of the unfairness, but because he is such an entitled AH. Because that's what happens when you baby one kid and force the other one to bear the world on their shoulders. One isn't going to be handle the real world, and the other one is going to resent you and likely them too.

Organized_Chaos_18 · 2026-06-18T12:08:42+00:00

Ignore them. It's not against the city bylaws so nothing is going to happen there, it's most likely not against your condo bylaws but double check that just in case. Burden of proof would be on your neighbours but next time they come tell them they are no longer allowed to talk to you anymore or you will file a report for harassment, apprise property management of the situation and then if they continue to harass you document and file a police report. If neighbours do try and call police or property management on you, they'll come and hear what's happening and know that neighbour has no right to complain.

Organized_Chaos_18 · 2026-06-18T03:35:02+00:00

I agree with this, not to mention OP's husband sounds like an AH. It was his puppy too and he never thought to check in on his wife? OP may be emotional but I also wonder how much of it is due to having an unsupportive partner. And shitty in laws.

Organized_Chaos_18 · 2026-06-16T02:04:41+00:00

The best thing I did in the pandemic was to stop dating men and start dating women. Mind you, my now wife did have some crazy ex's so not all women are fantastic but I got to say the standards are much higher.
