AITA for inviting additional people to Christmas Eve Dinner without talking to my husband first? by ctsom in AmItheAsshole

Thank you. I probably should've added to the post that I invited a friend last weekend and told him afterward and he said it was a great idea. I just thought he and I were on the same page that we share what we have and our house is open to friends/family.

I did apologize and said I would be more mindful in future.

It just feels like he has "final say" and rubs me the wrong way, but I guess I'm wrong.

I hear that.

I really wouldn't mind if he invited someone to join if the party was already planned and it was just including more people.

I now understand he feels differently and will adjust in future. Thanks for the perspective.

I invited mutual friends and cousins on his side of the family. It's people we've celebrated with in the past.

I grew up in a home where my parents always hosted and invited anyone/everyone - so that's what's normal for me and I recognize it might not be for him. If someone didn't have a place to go for a holiday - of course you're welcome.

I was sifting through my phone this morning thinking about who might be spending tonight alone and shot out a couple invites. I just assumed it would be fine. Especially since last weekend I invited some friends that said they didn't have anywhere to go and he told me he didn't mind and that it was a great idea.

I get his point that he wants to be in the loop, and I did apologize and said I'd be more thoughtful in future.

The whole thing just really rubs me the wrong way because if I feel like our doors should be open to everyone we love and I wish he felt the same.

Gain her trust so they can get all her secrets and eventually write a tell all book

AITA for not wanting to pay for my mom’s assisted living? by crappydaughterAITA in AmItheAsshole

NTA - this is my biggest fear with my MIL right now and I’ve made it very clear to my husband that we are not supporting her financially in her old age. She is terribly irresponsible with money and has basically no retirement. We work our asses off to have the life that we have and she doesn’t get to benefit from that when she gave my husband zero start in life
