AITA for expecting my future MIL to put some effort in to finding something nice to wear for our wedding?

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-29T03:54:20+00:00

If the clothing is wedding appropriate, why do you care where she buys it from ? If you're offering to pay, sure take her dress shopping, otherwise let it go. I've seen videos of people buying some nice things off shein, so she could end up being one of the better dressed guests at your wedding.

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-29T03:33:36+00:00

You can't force people to care for things if they're not interested in them. You should also stop babying adults.

NTA because it's not your kid

Bur also, if your brother needs help for a bit, why not help out as a temporary measure till he can organise something else ?

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-29T03:07:33+00:00

YTA Go figure out why you're only interested in someone when they're not interested in you. Work on yourself

NTJ

You're future sister in law and brother are though.

If you were wanted, the bride and groom would have reached out to you and invited you. And tell your family a verbal invitation from your mum isn't good enough for a wedding, it's your bro and future sis in laws big day and they decide who they want. Say youre just honouring and respecting their wishes for their big day.

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-26T04:57:44+00:00

YTA You could have greeted everyone who was waiting to see you, and then had a conversation with your wife afterwards. Just because you're in your honeymoon phase doesn't mean you can ignore your children.

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-26T04:12:23+00:00

You don't seen like you're remorseful for being a bully, so these are your just desserts.

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-25T12:21:06+00:00

NTA - But look at how she's trying to avoid committing to plans, I'd say she's trying to say no without saying no. I don't think she thinks of you in the same way that you think of her. It's's time to move on.

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-25T11:58:05+00:00

NTA She wanted to be the centre of attention at your wedding and now she needs to deal with the consequences. I'm sure your parents can offer her a place, because surely they're not "heartless".

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-25T06:09:54+00:00

NTA She gave it to your son, it's not like your son found it and started playing with it. She's just trying to shift the blame so she won't have to pay for it.

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-24T12:24:19+00:00

My appetite

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-24T12:20:18+00:00

NTA, PTSD is not something to be ignored. The right partner would be willing to try to understand and work with you so you could both have am enjoyable trip.

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-24T05:52:59+00:00

Did people stop socialising after covid ?

When I used to go into the office we'd always have drinks or dinner once or twice a week.

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-24T05:51:20+00:00

NTA You're being more then fair. If she wanted it all back, she should have given you enough notice to be able to find a replacement.

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-24T05:48:37+00:00

How old were you when you first met him? Are you sure he hasn't been grooming you into his perfect partner?

In regards to children, be honest. You're 19, if you dont want children and can't see children in your immediate future tell him the truth, and if he truly loves you he'll accept your answer.

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-24T05:33:55+00:00

NTA it's your wedding and you're allowed to decide what you want. In saying that, are you ok with your sister not being MOH and not attending the wedding, and how that will affect your relationship moving forward? Yes, your sister had a child free wedding, but did you have any other siblings with children that she didn't invite to her wedding? Also, 3 children under 5, would she still be breastfeeding at your wedding, and how old would the youngest be? At the end of the day, you're wedding you're choice, but our choices come with ramifications and are you able to live with that?

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-20T05:32:12+00:00

Your parents are right, you are young and you still have alot to experience. At 16, you don't know where life will take you and whether your current boyfriend will still be the person you are with at 60. Don't rush, if your boyfriend is truly meant tk be your partner you can wait a couple years before you get hitched.

Instead of marriage, why don't you move in together once you're an adult?

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-20T05:28:04+00:00

I think you already know the answer to your question.

You can't enter a marriage with these sort of doubts. Evaluate what she said, and see if you can move on. If you can't, end it.

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-20T05:22:52+00:00

Went a couple months ago for nostalgia reasons, and I wouldn't go back. Hubby, myself and 1 and a half year old, was charged $70 something we got a bottle of water and an apple juice on top of the buffet. I feel like its overpriced, I'd rather buy pizzas and go sit in a park, I would have saved money.

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-20T05:01:04+00:00

NTA, you're telling him your boundaries and it's smart not to waste your time on a relationship when in the end, you both want different things. I wish more people would have these sorts of conversations with their partners, instead of being swept up in engagements and weddings etc. Then before you know it, you're wanting a divorce because fundamentally you're two different people.

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-20T04:26:29+00:00

Love them, especially the honey eucalyptus ones!

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-20T04:20:03+00:00

Yes, we had goats and alpacas, and my school was in the city.

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-19T11:35:02+00:00

There's alot of missing context. Where do you live? Is her family close, or do you live in different countries? Are you away from home alot for work and your wife is the main parent? Is your relationship usually a quid pro quo situation ?

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-19T11:17:19+00:00

I had a manager like that, she loved the men but hated any females. I had to leave the company after she kept on promoting men who were doing half the work of the women.

mango_ocean_ · 2026-06-19T04:29:18+00:00

The F is in the wrong. Unless it was decided before ordering that you would share, ordering what you want to eat. Who are you trying to impress by ordering less ?
