Left dinner excluding my husband with my in-laws I'm a 26-year-old woman, and about two weeks ago, I went on a "family trip" with my in-laws. There's always been an undercurrent of my mother-in-law (MIL) thinking I'm a bit "ignorant" and "backward" due to my background coming from a lower-class family compared to theirs. She's also held the opinion that I lack certain "etiquette." Upon reaching the hotel, they had planned a visit to an upscale restaurant for dinner. Unfortunately, my husband didn't inform me about this plan in advance. I only found out at the last moment when he was already dressed up for it. When I asked where he was headed, he casually mentioned that he, along with the family, were going out to dine. However, I wasn't included because his mother "assumed" that since I might not be familiar with the food and the proper way to eat it at the restaurant, it would be better for me to stay in and eat at the hotel. Rather than arguing, I allowed him to leave and subsequently packed my things, catching the first available flight back home. When he realized I had left, he became frantic and made numerous calls. Upon discovering that I had gone back home, he became very angry and accused me of being unreasonable and irrational for my actions. He went on to say that my behavior was ungrateful and embarrassing, especially in front of his family. This reaction was despite the fact that he had actively persuaded me to join the trip. Our disagreement escalated into an argument, and he resorted to giving me the silent treatment once he returned home. Adding to the strain, some members of his family have indirectly critiqued me on social media, discussing what I did without directly mentioning my name. In summary, during a recent family trip with my in-laws, a miscommunication led to my exclusion from a fancy dinner. Feeling uncomfortable and unwanted, I chose to leave and head back home. This decision led to a heated argument with my husband, who labeled my actions as ungrateful and embarrassing. Additionally, certain family members have taken to social media to discuss the incident without directly addressing me.

Divorced my wife after she aborted our baby for her voodoo FYI, I am using the AI tool to write this as i don't want anyone in my family or friends to find about this. They tend to side my wife on this while no one's taking my feelings in to accountability. I am a 34-year-old man who has been married to my wife for 8 years. Together, we have a 6-year-old child, and my wife was pregnant with our second child. My wife is deeply spiritual, and while I didn't grow up with much knowledge of her interests due to my strict religious upbringing, I've always supported her enjoyment of these things as long as they didn't involve me directly. During her first pregnancy, my wife visited a psychic to receive a "reading" about our baby. The psychic accurately predicted that we would have a boy with blonde hair, a detail that wasn't too difficult to guess since my wife also has blonde hair. Additionally, my wife had seen this psychic before she met me, and that reading had indicated she would soon find the love of her life. This time around, while pregnant with our second child, my wife visited the psychic again. Shockingly, the psychic's reading took a dark turn. She predicted that our unborn child would grow up to commit terrible acts, causing harm to many innocent people and leading a life of crime. The prediction was unsettling, resembling something out of a horror movie. Despite my own skepticism, my wife took the psychic's words to heart and made the decision to book an appointment for an abortion without informing me. When she finally revealed her plans to me, I did my best to persuade her to reconsider. Although she initially agreed to think it over, she ultimately proceeded with the abortion in secret, alongside her sister. Devastated by the loss of a child we had been trying to conceive for months, I packed my things and left, seeking refuge with my mother. I informed my wife that our relationship was over, but that I would return to take care of our son. Beyond that, I wanted nothing to do with her. In response, my wife accused me of abandoning her during a time when she needed my support the most. She labeled me a terrible person for not respecting her autonomy over her body and criticized me for supposedly lacking control over her decisions. In essence, this situation has left us in a deeply contentious state. My wife's belief in the psychic's predictions led her to make a major decision without involving me, and my inability to comprehend or accept her actions has led to a rift between us. Our differing perspectives on choice, responsibility, and the future have created an emotionally charged and difficult situation for both of us. Was I wrong here? Do let me know in the comments.

Told my wife that my mother will never love her like a daughter I've been married to my wife for two years, and when it comes to my mother, the best way to describe her is as distant or aloof. It's not that she's impolite, but she seems uninterested in forming a connection with my wife. My mother's demeanor can be attributed to the challenges she's faced throughout her life. She's had a tough journey and seems to have little emotional energy left to invest in building relationships. Her reserved nature and lack of enthusiasm extend to most people, and she prefers a quiet, solitary existence. I've talked to my wife about my mother's background and personality in an effort to provide some context. Recently, we had a small gathering at my mom's house. My mother has a unique tradition of preparing all the food herself and prefers guests not to bring additional dishes. However, when my wife arrived after work with potato salad, I intervened and prevented her from bringing it inside. Throughout the evening, my wife seemed insistent on engaging my mom, despite my mother's desire for solitude. Even when my mom indicated that she needed some quiet time, my wife continued to engage her. At one point, my mother requested that I take my wife away from her, likely because she was nearing her limit. Later, during a car ride, my wife and I had a conversation about the evening. She expressed a desire to be liked by my mother and was confused about why my mother seemed to have a negative view of her. She explained that she was being courteous and couldn't understand why her efforts weren't being reciprocated. In response, I told her that my mother is unlikely to ever form a deep connection with her, and that by pushing for it, she's actually creating tension. I advised her to give my mother space and not to pursue a closeness that my mother may not be capable of. Unfortunately, this straightforward advice led to my wife calling me a jerk, and we haven't spoken since. In summary, my mother's distant nature has led to misunderstandings between her and my wife. Despite my wife's intentions to be friendly and win my mother's affection, I had to be honest with her about the unlikelihood of that happening. This conversation resulted in my wife becoming upset and temporarily cutting off communication with me.

Wore a bikini even though my sister had given birth My parents, my older sister Jeena (33), her husband George (30), and their son (1), as well as my husband and our daughter (2), we decided to visit a beach club for the first time during our family summer vacation. Jeena had approached me beforehand, asking if I could avoid wearing a bikini or anything revealing during our time at the beach club. She explained that both she and George were feeling a bit self-conscious about her postpartum body, and she wanted to avoid any uncomfortable discussions about it. In response, I expressed sympathy for her feelings but shared my intention to fully enjoy the beach by swimming and soaking up the sun without being overly covered up. I pointed out that many other women would likely be wearing bikinis, so I didn't believe my choice of swimwear would be a big issue. On the day of our beach club visit, she appeared visibly upset and anxious throughout the day. Unfortunately, her discomfort continued into the following day, leading her to decline joining us at the beach once again. My parents have now weighed in on the situation, expressing their concern that I should have been more considerate by wearing a cover-up that still allowed for swimming. They've also mentioned that my refusal to do so could potentially negatively impact the overall enjoyment of the vacation. Despite her request, I chose to wear regular swimwear for comfort and enjoyment. This decision seemed to upset her and has now led to tension within our family vacation. My parents believe that my choice could have been more accommodating, potentially preventing any disruption to the vacation experience. Now that I have realised, it was George who had pointed out her postpartum body and had declined her to wear it so that he doesn't feel ashamed. That's the red flag that she should be concerned about and not what her sister is wearing at the beach. Was I wrong here?

Travelled solo after I almost died Some backstory before i step into this: I was into an abusive marriage and infertile. All this, took over my mental health and had almost given up on life when my mom understood my situation and helped me get out of it. After I was out of this abusive relationship, I wanted to try out a lot of new things and one being them was a solo trip to Europe. During this trip to Europe, I met a group of amazing people in a youth hostel. We embarked on spontaneous adventures, explored hidden gems, and made memories that will last a lifetime. It was a life-changing experience. And this way, I realized that death wasn't the ultimate solution. The solution was to pause your life, think and then move forward. Just wanted to put this out there to people who have lost faith on their lives. Let go of everything and live.

My husband lied about the baby's gender and that's cheating! Me and my husband have been eagerly waiting for the arrival of our first child. However, his betrayal during the recent events have left me shattered. Here’s the story: My childhood was a mess and I always wanted to have strong paternal figure in my life. Unfortunately, I did not have that connection with my father and I hoped to experience it with a son of my own. My husband was completely aware of this and during my initial pregnancy appointments, he would accompany me and we always wanted the gender of the child to be a secret until given birth. During those appointments, my husband happened to see the file on which the gender of the child was specified and he told me that we were gonna have a boy! My happiness knew no bounds and we invested financially as well as emotionally, setting up a blue themed nursery and purchasing items tailored to a boy. We even decided to name him after my grandfather. However, when the due date was near, one day, he told me that we were expecting a girl, and not a boy. He even admitted that he knew it from the beginning, but did not want to disappoint me. This hit me hard, as it was betrayal by my very own partner. Overwhelmed, I cleared out the nursery and started sleeping in the other room. I also expressed, which now I regret, saying that he cheated on me. I know that I shouldn’t have said something like that, but the feeling of betrayal is still felt. Was I wrong here?

Not taking my mom in when she relapsed repeatedly in AA I know its meant to be anonymous but this situation is killing me right now. Me and my mother both are in AA and we have been fighting this disease one day at a time with mine being 5 years and my mother 3 months (hopefully the last time). I have been handling things well even after 5 years even when I see my life falling apart where my husband has left me for a richer wife, my daughter hates me because of my drinking days and my younger son doesn't wanna leave with me as his new step-mom has all the necessities at her place. Now my problem is that my mother isn't able to handle things well. She had been an addict for 11 years and then after AA, she was into religious stuff which kept her sober. But then, she goes back into the addiction which is making me difficult to maintain the relationship. A few days ago, she lost her car, her home, and she also got caught by the cops for using and driving. Now she wants to leave with me, but then, I told her a 'no' and did not let her stay with me. I am guilty about it. I am not sure if I did the right thing as she is my mom, after all.

Caused a scene and left the free vacation with my daughter JFYI, this is my first time posting, but a long-time stalker of the page. Before you know the actual story, I am a middle-aged woman who got divorced recently and we have been sharing the custody of my 10-year-old kid. My brother and his wife with their children, called me and my kid for a sponsored vacation to a lakehouse nearby so that my kid can relax a bit without any stress about her parents and bond with her cousins. TBH, my brother, and his wife are well off, and helping me out with my kid is something that I thought was sweet of them (when it's not). For context, I and my brother don’t get along well before, but these situations made him think about me and my kid. Now, what happened is, my brother and his wife rented out the lakeside and they paid for the whole thing with food, and other basic necessities, while I paid for the fuel for my car. 3 bedrooms with one for my brother and his wife, one for me, and another for the kids (4) with bunk beds. The first night in, the kids were being rude to my daughter by not letting them play with their toys but Katy, my brother’s wife asked them to behave and be nice to their sister and they did listen. Honestly, I wish she was my sister. On the second day, Katy wanted to meet a few of her friends in the town so she left my brother in charge of the kids and I think that’s the only worst decision that she could have done. It was a nightmare! The kids started bullying my kid by not letting her sleep on her bed. They wanted her to leave the room and instead, told her that she doesn’t belong to the family and she should find her place somewhere else. When I confronted them, they were rude to me too. My brother joined me and he started appreciating his children for fighting for their rights. I was shocked and asked him to behave. He started behaving very rudely and told me how he “paid” for the vacation and I should “obey” him for that. He also started dissing my decision to separate from my husband when I could have lived with him thinking of all the financial stability. He pointed out to my kid that she is our biggest mistake who doesn’t behave well and should learn from his ‘independent’ children. This triggered my daughter and she started crying. I couldn’t tolerate this and I packed everything and left with my daughter. I dropped a text to Katy as well without giving her full insight into the situation, instead told her we left because of a medical emergency. She called me after some time and I told her what happened without missing out on any points for the children too as it was necessary to get them disciplined. She told me to come back and how she will teach a lesson to her children. I said no, and told her to enjoy her holiday without making a big deal out of it. I get a call from my brother the next day and yells at me telling that I have ruined his holiday by ratting out his wife about the indifferences that we had last night. He got our parents involved and they bashed me for being ungrateful for the free vacation. AITA for leaving with my daughter in the middle of the free vacation?

My girlfriend left me for missing my date night Hi, I don’t want to reveal my name as I might get bashed for being a ‘man-child’. Let’s just assume my name’s John and my girlfriend’s name is Ashley. So this is something that happened on the day of second date anniversary and I somewhere regret it but my girlfriend is making a big deal out of it. To begin with, I wanted to surprise my girlfriend and make it really special with a candlelight dinner setup and some roses as she likes it. And it’s not easy for me to plan any surprises as my work schedule is very hectic and I cannot afford to take off any day to get this ready. Since it wasn’t possible for me to arrange this, I asked my sibling to help me arrange this on the terrace. I also got my girlfriend a beautiful dress for the date it makes her feel special. I have been addicted to mobile games for a while now and that happened because my girlfriend keeps playing them on her phone to help with her anxiety. Watching her play all day made me play the games and whenever I feel the work pressure, I just play. Coming back to the point, that day was one hectic day and my boss kept pressurizing me for completing my tasks as well as the tasks that my absent-minded colleague had. I couldn’t deal with so many things, so taking a short break, I started playing games and I obviously kept playing for so long that it was very late in the evening. I came back and started working again without knowing the time. By the time, I finished it, it was midnight and I completely forgot that it was our special date night and I had kept my girlfriend waiting. First thing, I went straight to my girlfriend’s house to apologise and make it up to her. She did not listen and closed the door in my face. The next day, when I called, she asked to break up for missing my date night. I asked her to understand my situation instead of blaming it on me. At this point, I feel like what’s the point of staying together for 2 years and not understanding such situations? It's not like I missed the date on purpose. She feels like I am cheating on her while giving such excuses. I sincerely regret that I could have planned the date for some other instead of keeping it on a busy day, but she isn’t ready to accept my apology. Am I being a bad boyfriend for this? Hope to hear some suggestions or advice on how to fix this issue with my girl.

Unspoken and unfiltered realities of motherhood Being a single mom even when you are married is hard. My husband really isn't helpful while taking care of the baby. In the beginning years, he wanted to have his babies and we were trying hard to get pregnant. He would take care of me, get me my favourite ice cream, pamper me with flowers. Just so you know, I have miscarried twice and the third time, we got pregnant. It was all good until I gave birth to my beautiful daughter. Right after that, I saw the changes in my husband where he would ignore me and our baby and would completely let me take care of the baby. So, last week, I had a meltdown in the grocery store because my baby was throwing a tantrum, and I couldn't handle the stress and I was all alone among the strangers. I feel like a terrible mom, but nobody knew the internal struggle that was facing. It was the crippling anxiety that hit right after where I don't have anyone to talk to about this. I tried talking to my husband if something is bothering him, but he ignored the whole point of the talk, told me to focus on my life rather than disturb him. After the grocery store episode, I am scared and I feel that I ain't holding my mental health right and its high time that I take self care and mental health into my hands. Is it too much to ask for?
