...what would they go like?

And can you guess which film?

Here's mine.

posted in AIBU

AIBU to think my DH is a twat? Should I LTB? We're married and have two DDs,
So, he had a job as clerk in a shipping company, - it wasn't much, but paid the bill. Anyway, recently he lost this job - not his fault, the company went bankrupt. But hes been unemployed for a while and decides to fucking take out a massive loan, without consulting me. After asking him how the hell he got the loan, turns out he defrauded the bank - something about his old companies ships as collateral? I don't understand it. Anyway, after not telling me taking this huge risk, he announced he was using the money to fucking buy a wax works museum that nobody goes to. :( we're now worse off than ever, he's in cloud cuckoo land... he's talking about turning it into a fucking circus... WWYD??

What a clown he sounds, 001 he needs to know that even if he has a million dreams, he still needs to pay the bills.

How about "I have just found out that a bloke I like is getting married. I didn't know how much I cared about him till I heardrum the news. I don't think he knows how I feel, in fact that must be the reason he didn't ask to marry me. AIBU to tell him tomorrow. Then he'll dump his fiancee and run off with me. He definitely will - his fiancee isn't as pretty as me and talks about books all the time, and i've got much bigger tits than her. "

That is the exact plot of My Best Friend's Wedding except for the books, I think, so I'm not sure...

hugoagogo · 25/01/2019 21:19

I have no idea what film either of these scenarios are supposed to be, but you have amused me.

Lampshadylady · 25/01/2019 21:32

My husband is an author and wants to move the whole family somewhere quiet so he can finish his book. I’m fine with that but.....but the place he wants us to go to is a huge empty old hotel in the middle of nowhere. There’s not even Wi-fi. TBH it really creeps me out and I don’t want to go. AIBU?

couchparsnip · 25/01/2019 21:33

Love that film OP! I got one

AIBU to think that if a CF comes to my DDs wedding just to ask me a favour then the least you can do is ask politely?
DDs wedding was going really well, the whole family was there, even DS who i hadn't seen for ages. CF turns up and comes to me asking for a big favour and doesn't even call me by proper name. It turns out he's been elsewhere to ask for this favour first and it didn't turn out right or something. Some people have no respect.
I could kill him!

overnightangel · 25/01/2019 21:34

No idea on those but great idea for a thread!

couchparsnip · 25/01/2019 21:35

I wouldn't go anywhere with him lampshady! Sounds like all work and no play...

BalloonSlayer · 25/01/2019 21:42

Oh dear, no one could guess mine!!!

Shall I continue. My character has another AIBU. "AIBU to manipulate my DSIS's fiance to marry me instead. It would mean telling him she's marrying someone else. I know you will all say IABU but I really need his money to save the family home. Which means DSIS will have somewhere to live, which she will need as she won't be getting married, will she?"

couchparsnip · 25/01/2019 21:48

BalloonSlayer is your surname Bennett?

HawkeyeInConfusion · 25/01/2019 22:31

I was going to ask whether your surname is Dashwood BalloonSlayer ?

SinceYouAskMe · 25/01/2019 22:35

I think Balloonslayers surname is a little more Irish.

couchparsnip · 25/01/2019 22:46

No one got mine about people disrespecting me at my daughter's wedding.

HawkeyeInConfusion · 25/01/2019 22:49

Please could I have some advice about my relationship with my DF.

My DM left when I was a baby, so DF has raised me alone. But I am such a disappointment to him. I'm nothing like him and he is so disapproving of everything I do.

It doesn't help that I live in a small village. Everyone knows each other and my DF is highly respected. So the whole village seems disappointed in me too. And I have no friends - all the kids my age think I'm a loser.

DF has been away. And whilst he's not been around I've got a pet. We're such good friends and I've learned so much from playing with him. It has given me more confidence and the other kids have even started talking to me.

Thing is, my DF hates animals and particularly the one my pet is (it would be outing to say what it is). DF will be returning home soon.

Should I leave with my pet and go NC or should I stay and try to change his mind? WWYD?

SinceYouAskMe · 25/01/2019 22:51

I got it couchparsnip but I didn’t want to risk disrespecting you in my answer; I’ve only just changed the duvet cover.

juniperbushes · 25/01/2019 23:04

I wasn't going to mention what hobby it is as it's probably outing, but sod it, I've had enough.

DH is going sea fishing. Again. He's already forked out loads of cash for some sort of special fishing rod, and how he says he's going to have to get a bigger boat.

WIBU to put my foot down and say no?

couchparsnip · 25/01/2019 23:49

juniperbushes YWNBU to tell him to stay at home. Tell him its not safe to go back in the water

Cel982 · 25/01/2019 23:57

BalloonSlayer, as God is my witness, I believe I know who you are

Couchparsnip, are you saying this all happened on this, the day of your daughter's wedding? Shocking...

Oddcat · 26/01/2019 00:14

AIBU to ask for help with my son ? I’m not sure I wanted children but DH insisted so I gave in . Anyway, we now have a little boy and I don’t know how to explain it but he just seems odd . I’ve struggled to bond with him ,I’m sure he hates me and does awful things to get at me like smearing poo everywhere. He refuses to use the toilet and is still in nappies ffs. DH can’t see the problem . I’m worried he’ll grow up to be a wrong ‘un. Wwyd?

ilovepixie · 26/01/2019 00:36

So I had a great summer. Met a great girl and we spent all our time at the beach. She was going back to her home country after the summer so it ended there. Then in the first day of school she turned up! Turns out her folks had a change of plan! I was so happy to see her but I couldn't show it in front of my gang as I'm Mr Cool. She thinks I don't like her and started going out with other guys. WIBU to start doing different sports to try and win her back?

I realize everyone has different circumstances in life but this can't be right. He has invited my DS and a few other bits to play in his treehouse later today! Aibu to say not a chance in hell?
