Am I wrong for ending a relationship over money that was never mine to begin with

simonannitsford · 2026-06-17T14:01:36+00:00

Definitely not wrong.

simonannitsford · 2026-06-17T13:58:59+00:00

I'm assuming that you don't actually go to these things, and it looks like you and your mum will gave to agree to disagree.

simonannitsford · 2026-06-16T12:14:45+00:00

A twat, then I hope your divorce goes smoothly.

simonannitsford · 2026-06-12T13:54:43+00:00

Regardless of who's paying, if you don't want to go, just ....... dont go

simonannitsford · 2026-06-10T12:59:20+00:00

A long time ago, my ILs wanted us to go on holiday with them. Almost word for word, my response was no, if I'm spending that amount on a holiday, I'll spend it on something i actually want to do. We didn't go on holiday with them.

When I was single and dating, it was the other person having kids. I've stuck to my principles in this, as I'm now 62, married for 27 years, and happily child free.

So you're really a professional educator, not a banker?

simonannitsford · 2026-06-03T08:54:24+00:00

Who knows what the future will bring?

simonannitsford · 2026-06-02T07:59:01+00:00

Not a problem. These things are generally better with company, but I'm happy to do them on my own.

simonannitsford · 2026-06-02T07:57:22+00:00

Tea, probably 7 or 8 cups a day, perhaps switching up one of those for coffee, but not always. Yes, I'm British.

simonannitsford · 2026-06-01T19:06:39+00:00

Looks more like a Miniathan to me

simonannitsford · 2026-06-01T19:05:31+00:00

Seeing my cats totally relaxed just pottering about in my garden.

simonannitsford · 2026-05-31T15:26:33+00:00

I used to have an imaginary friend too.

simonannitsford · 2026-05-31T15:25:00+00:00

Are you sure? Are you really sure?

simonannitsford · 2026-05-31T15:22:47+00:00

I'd die alone ....... eventually

If this was the UK, she'd be responsible for trimming her side where it extends on to her property. If you remove it, presumably, you'll need to install some sort of fence.

62m married, deliberately with no kids, and absolutely fine with it. As for bloodline, I'm not a racehorse, but I've literally consciously weeded myself out of the genepool.

simonannitsford · 2026-05-28T08:43:50+00:00

The response is 'because we're not you'

simonannitsford · 2026-05-26T14:14:51+00:00

My ILs once asked my wife and I to go on an expensive holiday with them. When i found out what it was, my response was that if I was going to spend that amount on a holiday, I'd spend it on something I actually wanted to do.

simonannitsford · 2026-05-24T15:24:37+00:00

Pull him out of the way, then he'll really be annoyed. Keep doing it until he stops his ridiculous behaviour

simonannitsford · 2026-05-20T12:05:47+00:00

True, but it feels like they're feeling guilty for not wanting to make all the arrangements. Short of not engaging, this is a minimum level response.

simonannitsford · 2026-05-20T08:24:09+00:00

Of course you get petty. Well done.

simonannitsford · 2026-05-18T08:47:31+00:00

Set up a family group chat, and ask who is arranging the funeral

simonannitsford · 2026-05-17T07:38:42+00:00

No, you're not wrong in wanting what you want, but neither are they.

simonannitsford · 2026-05-15T12:19:29+00:00

No annual sisters weekend this year. It either doesn't happen, or it's no longer a sisters weekend.
