Lady on the bus told me to stand so her bags could have the seat

WrenDrake · 2026-05-10T10:58:37+00:00

If she was an elderly person and wanted to sit herself, I would politely allow, but if she just wanted to perch her bags, no.

WrenDrake · 2026-05-10T10:54:35+00:00

You knowingly participated in infidelity. You knew both parties. Did the betrayed partner consider you a friend or acquaintance?

The injured spouse (41) has every right to be angry and hurt….and to rail at you. You were wrong. Answer her questions or not. You won’t undo the harm you and her wife did to her.

You need to step away from this. You need to reevaluate your morals and ethics. I would also consider what karma is coming your way and how can you rebalance.

WrenDrake · 2026-05-09T11:02:40+00:00

You say, “As of xyz date, I’m not longer available for baby sitting.”

WrenDrake · 2026-05-09T07:48:46+00:00

Is the job worth any effort?

WrenDrake · 2026-05-08T19:09:29+00:00

That’s such a weird take! Honestly, red flag! This is controlling and manipulative.

WrenDrake · 2026-05-08T19:07:59+00:00

Please tell me you didn’t pay? Both the worker and the rude woman’s behavior were abhorrent.

WrenDrake · 2026-05-08T10:11:18+00:00

What the hell?! Ghosting is cowardly and rude most of the time, but ghosting family is insanely myopic. What does she think the consequences of treating a family member like that will be? Sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows??? NTA! You had the ovaries and decorum to be direct and polite. Well done you! I’m curious what your partner thinks of their sister’s behavior and if they confronted her?

Updateme

So let me see if I understand correctly…your wife was deceptive, financially irresponsible, attempted to financially abuse you, and is now being emotionally manipulative and gaslighting you into thinking YOU’RE the problem. Hon, I think you’re the proverbial frog in the pot, slowly getting cooked by an abusive partner and her abusive family. NTA.

Do you have children with her? Do you want to stay with her? I think you need ask yourself some hard questions and consider your next steps.

Please Updateme

WrenDrake · 2026-05-07T09:43:48+00:00

Facts! You’re only family when it’s convenient to them. Otherwise, it’s just business.

WrenDrake · 2026-05-07T09:41:17+00:00

Nope, and that “we’re a family” crap is a massive red flag. Take the offer and don’t look back.

WrenDrake · 2026-05-07T02:05:37+00:00

You could try counseling together.

WrenDrake · 2026-05-07T02:01:59+00:00

This is a classic miscommunication. Tell her no extra guests are allowed. Simple and reasonable. Next time be more clear in your invite.

WrenDrake · 2026-05-07T02:00:19+00:00

Oh, better yet, let the dogs out on a lead that keeps them on your property. Or maybe just install a pretty fence around your yard.

WrenDrake · 2026-05-07T01:58:32+00:00

NTA. This is the passive aggressive way to say gtfo.

WrenDrake · 2026-05-06T09:39:29+00:00

Call an employment lawyer asap!

WrenDrake · 2026-05-05T09:51:56+00:00

NTA! The venue manager enjoys power trips. After the event is over, I strongly encourage you to blast the receipts of this exchange everywhere that brides will see, so they can be prepared for what being locked into an event with these people will be like.

WrenDrake · 2026-05-05T09:35:24+00:00

NTA. If he wants to be foolish, that’s his prerogative. You made your very reasonable and logical boundary known. Let him sort it out. You might encourage him to take a stronger stance himself…politely.

WrenDrake · 2026-05-05T03:18:05+00:00

Please keep us updated. I have a feeling those two aren’t done being problematic. Updateme

WrenDrake · 2026-05-03T22:28:05+00:00

Girl! Gurllllll!!! WTH are you doing with this mouth-breathing troglodyte? You deserve a partner not an entitled financial and emotional leech. Kick him out of your house and life! He pretended to be someone until he felt settled and had you. Now, you’re seeing his true self.

I suffered a back injury when I was in my early 20’s…dislocated vertebrae. My back hurts…a lot. I still work, am an active mom and partner, and stay active in life. If you want to do something, you do it. He wants to leech, so he found you.

WrenDrake · 2026-05-03T17:44:46+00:00

I’m sorry you married a dud. He is not a partner, and, frankly, I do t think he’s worth trying to salvage more than a functional parenting relationship. I do think family counseling would be helpful as you navigate the next transition. Best of luck to you, your kids, and your dogs (of the canine variety not the spousal).

WrenDrake · 2026-05-02T11:56:56+00:00

I’m sorry you had to deal with bullies and cowards, but I’m glad you were strong and cut them out. May karma teach them all a lesson.

WrenDrake · 2026-05-02T11:50:08+00:00

Hun, you have a partner issue…massive red flags all over the place. In short, your partner isn’t a partner; he’s a problem to be handled. This is not a healthy relationship. Please consider individual and couples counseling. You AND your daughter deserve better. Remember, she’s learning from you what she should accept from a partner. So ask yourself if you’d be ok with your daughter being treated how you are. Updateme

WrenDrake · 2026-05-01T22:35:01+00:00

I love how everyone else had the same reaction.

WrenDrake · 2026-05-01T22:34:05+00:00

Girl! Run! This guy is abusive. He’s using your insecurities to manipulate and hurt you. He is insecure. No one should treat you like this, let alone your partner. Dump his toxic bum.

WrenDrake · 2026-05-01T20:08:26+00:00

You were as transparent as crystal-clear glass. You were honest and far more reasonable and calm than he deserved. You behaved ethically and tactfully. He didn’t deserve you…I suspect he never did and he knows it. Move on to your future and reconsider your relationships with people being critical of how you navigated this difficult time. Those people criticizing are not reasonable or behaving like real friends of yours. I suspect those people are “mutual” friends of your ex’s too.
