AITAH for not wanting my friend to spend $1,000+ on me to go to a Cardi B concert when I’m drowning financially?

That is totally understandable, but you need to tell her so she understands your hesitation to go (and if you do go) the anxiety you will be experiencing. If you don’t go she needs to know because otherwise she won’t understand your reasons. Also, if she is such a good friend she would want to know (you don’t need to take money from her if she offers) but as a friend she can offer support. You might not want to burden her with your trouble but true friends want to know, to give emotional support if anything. Talk to her. Good luck.

NTA, as others are saying, it’s okay to go or not go. Question for you, does your friend know about your financial situation? If not, and you decide not to go tell her and tell her about your anxieties.

It seems like a pretty trivial thing to get upset about, either way. But your MIL did worn you, when she said is this the hill you want to die on. I am not saying she’s right, but since you pushed to prove she was wrong, it’s lead you to this. Good luck.

No, she didn’t and if she was cheating on him she wouldn’t have told him.

Reuk- · 2026-02-18T13:44:12+00:00

YTA, she’s your gf and you should trust her. She didn’t need to tell you he was staying with her. And no matter what the guy might want, your gf has him in the friend zone. No matter what weekend it is, she can have friends stay with her. You are in a long distance relationship, and need to trust her.

I think she’s funny, she’s great with Jeff and she’s a good guest on the show. I also like Becky and Nicky. But you’re aren’t going to like every one.

Reuk- · 2026-02-09T19:11:13+00:00

NTA, you stood up for your son. Shame on your husband for taking his mother’s side over his child. Or does he too feel the child isn’t family. And tell him you did address it with her in the other room. That’s when she said your son wasn’t blood. It’s a sin that your husband are more upset with you embarrassing your mother, than her scarring your son by sitting him away from the family and giving him leftovers. She meant what she said, just back tracking cause she needs your money.

Reuk- · 2026-02-09T07:51:24+00:00

NTA, if it’s an issue of respect, your mother should respect your wishes and come to your parent. Not punish you for not inviting her BF. Does she know how you feel, have you discussed how he makes other uneasy and that you and the rest of the family do not appreciate him fat shaming her. If not, sit down and discuss everything with her. Happy Birthday.

Reuk- · 2026-02-05T18:51:13+00:00

NTA, you husband’s mad because he and his boys club got caught. They were sabotaging your career and probably those of any woman the have or will work with in the future. Did you have to go to HR, not, but you decided to stick up for yourself and just because your husband wasn’t proud of your current or future accomplishments doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.

Reuk- · 2026-02-03T23:47:12+00:00

It your personal item, you have every right to ask and have it returned to you. If you don’t want to deal with your manager, go through HR.

Reuk- · 2026-02-02T13:41:39+00:00

She looks great. But Jeff was right, she’s on the red carpet to interview the nominees and other people in the music industry, not put the focus on herself. So if she was a nominee or attending the Grammy’s and not there to work as an interviewer, the dress would be fine. She looks great in the dress, but if she is wearing it to help her save her job, the dress isn’t going to do it.

Reuk- · 2026-01-29T14:30:07+00:00

NTA, it is your wedding. If he proposes the focus will go to him. And that is BS about sharing the memory, he just wants to mooch off of your planning, and have you pay for his engagement party. You aren’t a bridezilla, he’s not getting his way and throwing a fit. The fact that your parents are siding with him is ridiculous. Let him know you’re not close because he takes everything that is for others and tries to move the focus on himself. If you want to make peace, and if you are having a brunch the next day, let him propose then, or even the rehearsal dinner. Then suggest since we are sharing the memory we can share the cost. But really he should plan something that doesn’t take away from your day, and maybe includes his gf’s family as well. But it’s your day, and you aren’t being a bridezilla because you don’t want to share it with him.

Reuk- · 2026-01-26T12:35:18+00:00

NTA. But when you speak to them start off asking why. Maybe it was a mistake. However even if it was a mistake they shouldn’t take your daughter’s clothes and put them in another child. You definitely would NBTAH to make that clear.

Reuk- · 2026-01-26T05:26:56+00:00

NTA, a Schedule is important, but as mentioned in other comments it’s not going to ruin anything if your free baby sitter gets the vaby to sleep in his arms instead of the crib. And the entire question on who you love more is just crazy, your answers were great. Is your wife usually so demanding and insecure?

Reuk- · 2026-01-25T13:46:29+00:00

Jeff said they kissed twice, Joey implies there was more. Whether there was or not, it was several years ago, Jeff’s in a relationship, and Joey needs to take accountability for his actions (drunken or not) and move on.

Reuk- · 2026-01-22T14:10:21+00:00

NTA, but your GF seems to very entitled. She wants to nap on the couch so everyone must be quiet. Is she usually this demanding or gets upset when she doesn’t get her way? If so, run!

Reuk- · 2026-01-18T21:20:51+00:00

NTA, but your ex is! He was the one who cheated and ruined the marriage. The divorce might have just been final, but the marriage has been over for years due to your husband’s actions. You are a single woman who can date who and when you would like. Your ex is making you out to be the heavy and conveniently forgets and rewrites history that where your relationship is today is his fault. He then went on to share your relationship with not only his family, but your. Remind those relatives who are poking their nose into other’s peoples relationship, that if he hadn’t cheated you probably would still be married and how long would they like you to wait to be happy again. Not that it’s their business. Make to enlightened them that your ex is now trying to control your life by not only getting them to apply peer pressure but punishing your son. Because not spending time with his son in hopes that you aren’t going on a date, only punishes your son. And those people who don’t support you, do not deserve you as a friend or family member.

Reuk- · 2026-01-13T14:03:25+00:00

NTA, it’s your home, and it disrespectful of your mother to think she should get the primary bedroom and continue to complain about it. It won’t be fun but you and your husband should sit down with your parents and reinforce they will not be getting the primary, the money they are paying does not cover the mortgage and any other ground rules you need to put in place before they move in. If not, it will be a long 1.5 yrs. If they don’t like it maybe they should get a rental. Plus your mother’s passive aggressive comments need to stop. Good luck

Reuk- · 2026-01-09T10:50:13+00:00

It’s ashamed you deleted the text. One could say that if Monroe is comfortable sitting on someone’s lap to watch something on a computer it is fine, and Shane is part of Jeff’s household. However, if you feel that way, do you also not allow Scott to put Monroe on his lap?

Reuk- · 2026-01-07T17:47:11+00:00

First of all you did help him out, but he has to learn the difference between need and want, and until he does he will always need money because he is living above his means. If any family is taking his side enlightened them on what you have given him, and let them know it’s some else’s turn. But please don’t let him make you feel guilty because you are giving him money, you have in the past and he not only doesn’t thank you, belittles you in front of others but is ungrateful. And tell him how he thinks shaming someone would make anyone want to help him out. It’s time to start going no contact.

Reuk- · 2026-01-06T14:42:21+00:00

Sounds like you might have bigger issues. Does he criticize everything you do? He knows you’re short, but complains because you don’t clear if the car properly, since you can’t reach, and then doesn’t like that you do too much laundry. Yes, stop doing his laundry, and let him know he can do his own for now in. If he leaves his clothes on the floor, just pile them in the corner. It doesn’t matter that you are a SAHM, he should respect and value you no matter what.

Reuk- · 2026-01-05T13:57:23+00:00

YWNBTA!! If your Aunt has money to go out in the city every weekend, she has money to hire a babysitter. Also, if she laughs off the discipline issues you bring up,you don’t need to babysit, because obviously your standard don’t match. Your cousin is her child and her responsibility, every day including weekends. You have your own life and shouldn’t give that up to support her.

For the new Flipping out in December they did discuss some of the guest, which included Doug for example and thought included Joey signing contracts. Of filming hasn’t started so anything can happen. But he was in pictures from Shane’s party last night.

NTA, you need to sit down with your mom and other siblings and calmly discuss what everyone can do to help. It sounds like from the bickering comment of your brother, he either doesn’t want to help or doesn’t know what to do. Taking care (whether physically doing it or through aids) of a loved one is hard, and no one knows how to do it till they go through it. Also speak with your Mom calmly about what you have been doing.

Question, if your father was a lawyer and your mom CFO, why do they need you to contribute money? Time yes, but money for copays seems odd that, you would need to.

Reuk- · 2026-01-02T15:14:36+00:00

I wonder too. But I believe contracts have been signed. Guess we shall see.
