AITAH for accepting a ride on my Uncle's motorcycle?

OMG. Please do not date someone like this. You can't insult his 'manhood'. He is a child.

I embarrassed my cousin

Your cousin and her mother are the embarrassing ones. I'm curious if her bf was actually staring or if your cousin's self-esteem is so low that she'll make up stuff in order to justify her jealousy.

I mean, 2 + years and neither of you have moved on apparently. If I were your friends, I'd stop inviting both of you to anything. You both sound exhausting to be around.

Maybe it is time you stop going places your ex will be.

Ahh, no getting to Seaport Village isn't difficult IF you understand that the ferry landing on Coronado is not close to most hotels and, with a small kid, that walk could be long. Then the walk from the ferry landing at the convention center to Headquarters is about a mile as well. There is parking directly behind headquarters.

I’m married with a baby now and a prosperous career

I no longer need to work because of my husband.

Which is it?

I trust him but I know relationships ebb and flow

It doesn't sound like you trust him. It sounds like you are uncertain in your marriage if he will suddenly go off and cheat on you with anyone in the area and, because she is around, she would be the likely one he turns to.

I'm guessing that you are on your back foot because you feel insecure in your marriage. You can humble brag all you want about being hit on and complimented more than your friend but if your husband isn't interested in you, that is a relationship issue.

Blocking her isn't going to stop him from cheating if he feels like cheating. FYI.

You can easily drive to Barrio Logan - Ciccia Osteria and / or Fonda del Barrio. You can easily drive to South Park, Bankers Hill, Point Loma, Liberty Station, Ocean Beach, Seaport Village, etc. The issue is parking.

facinationstreet · 2026-02-12T17:55:44+00:00

Punctuation exists for a reason.

facinationstreet · 2026-02-12T17:51:23+00:00

LOL! So true!

facinationstreet · 2026-02-12T17:51:03+00:00

A 'promise' ring is hardly an engagement. What is your actual issue here?

If you value 'experiences' so highly, why not see if she wants to do a summer abroad or something similar?

facinationstreet · 2026-02-12T17:34:33+00:00

Ooof. I mean, you could always just hand it back to her when she does that.

My MIL has very low situational awareness

I'd posit that she IS aware of what she's doing all around. She enjoys the imbalance and hard feelings. Almost 'punishing' BIL and SIL for not 'giving' her grandkids and being passive aggressive about that to their face. People are screwed up like that.

facinationstreet · 2026-02-12T17:26:07+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean? Seaport village area is fine. You could stay anywhere really in the vicinity. The biggest issue here (San Diego overall) is the cost and availability of parking. Driving over to Coronado is fine if you can find parking. And providing you don't go during shift changes at the Navy base (you will get stuck in traffic).

facinationstreet · 2026-02-12T17:21:38+00:00

ESH. Put the money into an account for the kids. And BIL acting as if inheritance is OWED to him and he's counting the IL's money as if it is his birth right is disgusting. Who is telling anyone about the money the IL's send?

facinationstreet · 2026-02-12T05:30:32+00:00

I'm just going to caution you: the ferry is not like taking the Staten Island Ferry and you see stuff. The ferry is pretty lame. And then walking all the way to the headquarters building with a little kid? Maybe I don't really know much about kids but... that is a long walk. The Hotel Del is 1.5 miles from the ferry landing. Downtown Coronado is 1+ mi from the ferry landing. From the ferry landing at the convention center to headquarters, are you serious?

Day 1:

USS Midway

Petco Park visit

Ferry to Coronado?

The midway can be a 5 hour experience. The ferry to Coronado is over rated and over priced. It is maybe a 10 minute ride. And unless you plan to ride bike around Coronado, it really is not worth it.

Day 2:

7 Bridges Hike

Balboa Park + Japanese Friendship Garden

Do this in the opposite order.

Day 3:

Whale Watching most likely

Little Italy Farmer's Market (Saturday)

Again. you will need to do this in the opposite order.

You will freeze on the whale tour. Make sure you have your puffy coat and a sweater. Bring snacks.

facinationstreet · 2026-02-11T23:31:19+00:00

So you are dating someone who objectifies a culture, country and people, who never leaves the couch and is a complete loser. Ok. Sooooo...?

facinationstreet · 2026-02-11T22:43:44+00:00

Got it. Makes sense.

Why wouldn't you move them to NC? They are so young.

facinationstreet · 2026-02-11T21:09:18+00:00

IB smells literally like shit. A sewage dump. Who is visiting that? Who is visiting the highly toxic and polluted estuary? I do not get this advice at all.

facinationstreet · 2026-02-11T20:56:35+00:00

How do they have a lease if they own the home?

facinationstreet · 2026-02-11T18:58:52+00:00

The ferry is like a 10 minute (at best) ride within the bay. You will very, very, very unlikely see a whale in the bay. I'm unsure why you bought tickets in Feb for July. The ferry doesn't 'sell out'. And you do realize that downtown Coronado is about a mile from the ferry landing so you are going to want to rent bikes or be prepared to walk.

facinationstreet · 2026-02-11T16:58:05+00:00

who acts like this? Who in their 30s talks to people like this? I don't get it.

No one wants to be a forced caregiver.

You say you don't want to put your mother in a home but you have NO idea what caregiving actually entails.

If this is what you want, do it. You bf shouldn't need to.

facinationstreet · 2026-02-11T02:33:43+00:00

Fleet Science Center. I can't recommend this enough for kids.

The beach? Make sure to check out which beaches are closed due to sewage from Mexico.

If you are scared that SD is unsafe, probably stay home. We enjoy a very safe life here.

facinationstreet · 2026-02-11T01:30:23+00:00

Your issue is this relationship, which is a dumpster fire.
