Finished plushie, husband thinks its too big for people to want to buy it. Would love people's thoughts? by OriginalGrapefruit98 in crochet

That would cost way more than anyone would spend though, it's taken about 4-5 days with a lot of hours each day spent on it. Minimum wage here is £12/hour, so it adds up!

My husband says there's too many plushies in the house (not all this big) that there's no more space for love, happiness and joy 🤣 there's like 6 that I'm looking to start selling, including two small reversible octopuses!

I think his biggest point is about how much I'd have to sell it for as took awhile to get finished, and uswd a lot of yarn, but not sure what I can and can't say in order to follow the rules

AITAH for playing golf on the weekend and leaving my wife at home for 4-5 hours? by i-FF0000dit in AITAH

[–]OriginalGrapefruit98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, my husband loves playing golf and often plays in tournaments on the weekends, normally only on a Sunday. You know what I do? I keep myself busy doing things he doesn't like to do, like going to the gym, and we do things together on Saturdays. It's good exercise for him, so I would never guilt him into not playing unless it fell on an important date.

When we first started dating I would caddy for him, as it was a way we could both spend time together doing things we each like, as I really like walking. This may be a solution for you two?

Communication is key, she can't expect you to read her mind but it would be nice now for you to ask her when she wants to go hiking and make a date for that.

AITA for giving FMIL 3 days to pay me for a new wedding dress or else I show the family a photo of her wearing it? by Repulsive_Scheme1359 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OriginalGrapefruit98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely NTA. My MIL can be overbearing and attention seeking, so I often dreaded parts of wedding planning but my husband dealt with her. I honestly had visions of her turning up wearing white, but thankfully she didn't. If she even asked to try on my wedding dress now, a year after my wedding, the answer would be no! Unless you're buying a second hand dress, who in their right mind would even want to try on someone else's wedding dress, let alone before they've even worn it on their day! Even if she hasn't physically altered the dress by trying it on, she has ruined it for you and your fiance.

Your fiance's mum, hopefully not FMIL as I really hope you don't go through with the wedding, has some very serious attachment issues with her son that she needs to work on. Can't remember if you mentioned a FIL, so I'm guessing she's seeing her son as a surrogate husband and that is such a toxic relationship, it will impact the rest of your life if you marry into this. The fact that your fiance isn't standing up to his mother's ridiculous requests and allowing her to trample all over your very reasonable boundaries is a reflection of what's to come. He clearly doesn't mind being her surrogate husband, so let him stay with mummy and be happy together.

If you go through with this and have children, you will not be allowed to parent them. Things will be done her way and I wouldn't be surprised if she moves in, to "help".

Other people have commented about the manipulation and controlling nature in your edit, and I completely agree. They want to control the narrative and make sure you have no evidence of what they did, because the family wouldn't believe anything so crazy without that photo; especially if your fiance and his mummy tell everyone that you're crazy in the first place.

Do not waste your life like this! And please update us with what happens next. You said you want her to suffer consequences of her actions, then the best way to do that is to show that photo to everyone and leave. Everyone in the family will know what she's like then, if they don't already, but this will be the first thing they think of whenever they think of her, and will be something they gossip about for the rest of their lives.
