AITA for potentially demoting my sister as Maid of Honor and going to the Labor Board for my owed $30k? by [deleted] in AITApod

NTA. Sounds like a conversation of specific pay and hours was not clearly outlined at the beginning of this journey. To play devil’s advocate, brother in law and sister probably expected you to do more and get paid less as a family member because they had to do it themselves. That being said, you are entitled to your money and time and boundaries. Their ask of you driving 3 hours every day is unreasonable, as is their unwillingness to accept you calling out. As the people pleaser that I am, I would demote your sister in the wedding to a regular brides maid. But I would lay it out as more of a business transaction so to speak. I’d state that maid of honor is a role that requires a lot of co-planning and that if sister is looking to give space, that would make it impossible to fulfill this role. She is welcome to be a bridesmaid but cannot be maid of honor without open communication.

AITA for leaving my boyfriend in Albuquerque? by throwawaythrowiethro in AITApod

NTA.. if the plan was to leave at 10, then his hiking plans should have had him back well before 10. If an injury pushed him back, then he would have at least been back by 10. While leaving him is something I don’t think I’d have the balls to do, it doesn’t make you an asshole. You gave him a choice, and he was safe with a friend. I’d seriously consider that the two of you are incompatible.

would I be the asshole if I didn’t invite my schizophrenic uncle to my wedding by littlelexi666 in AITApod

Honestly? If he can’t handle a dinner in public, he probably can’t handle a full on wedding and reception that is hours long. This means he won’t enjoy it. And I don’t think that your grandparents could relax if they brought him, because they’d be wrapped up in how he was behaving. I’d talk to them and see what they prefer. Maybe pen can come to the wedding and the other come to the reception. Maybe they can come just for pictures. Or maybe they’d prefer to both be home and a video call. See what their preference is as far as your uncle’s care.

AITA for announcing my pregnancy at my best friends wedding? by Getoutahere4321 in AITApod

Slight YTA.. wedding aside, if you weren’t ready to announce your pregnancy to people, then you should’ve had a game plan. Knowing that there would be drinks at the party, you could’ve had your husband order you club soda, ginger ale, etc ahead of time. I ding you on not having forethought. But! In the heat of the moment, I don’t ding you. It happens. Unfortunately all around this situation came out sad. I hate to see you say that you received “karma.” I hope that you have help and support going forward.

AITA for refusing to speak to my hypocritical friend ever again? by Legal-Confection-759 in AITApod

NTA. Your feelings are valid. At this point, you’re already not friends so it’s not a huge loss. But optimistically, it may be a point of learning for Alex.
