I'll start.

AIBU to be pissed off with my recluse sister?

My sister is an introvert to the point where she won't even speak to me anymore. We live together but I literally don't see her from one day to the next and TBH I'd like a bit of company. Also it's bloody cold in our house, especially walking past DSis room, anyone got any recommendations for portable heaters? Preferably from John Lewis.

@PawneeParksDept yep! "Are you reading the dictionary?" "I like to work up a mental sweat" Grin

DP and I have been dating for a few years now and we are stuck in a bit of a rut. DP has no direction in his life. We spend every single evening in our local pub and never try anything new. Dps flatmate is always hanging around. When they aren't playing video games they are making fart jokes and just generally behaving like kids. I just want Dp to grow up.
Spoke to dp about my concerns and he promised that we would go on a proper date to a local restaurant I have been dying to go to. I spent ages getting ready, new outfit etc. And was really looking forward to it. Turns out he had forgotten. Tried to apologize came round with flowers and can you believe it, the card was for his mum!!! the CF gave me petrol station flowers originally meant for his mum!! Who btw i have never even met.
I told him it's over and am with friends right now. They have told me to ltb.
So aibu to end it and move on?
Maybe I am coming down with some things and overreacting? All my colleagues called in sick this morning so there is some flu going around and that could be why I am extra sensitive.

It's my partner's first day back at work and I get the feeling they don't want to be around me, I don't think anyone much wants me around. It was kind of my fault they got shot but I didn't mean for it to happen. It's hard being 'the first' to do something, especially when it goes against your culture.

To top it off, there's this crazy guy who reckons I'm the chosen one, we've picked up a young woman who is running from who knows what - her sister, the feds. We don't know who is on whose side, we don't know who we can trust and my lot don't trust me - they even try to kill me. But the young woman does something and all of a sudden even my kind think I'm part of a prophecy.

Turns out my partner is kind of special too. I'm happy to tell all and sundry what happened, but my partner is a bit more reticent. I kind of get it. It sucks that some of the bad guys will get hailed as heroes posthumously. But I told him we know the truth and that's what matters.

Apologies if this one's been done before.

After a rocky start, my relationship was the best it's ever been, but now I have to stay with my PIL. They're very flash and like to show it, whereas I'm not really that type. I feel like they'll judge me. The journey was long and boring, DD was playing up, so I arrived annoyed already. Then to top it all off, at dinner, I completely fucked up and upset my partner. I'm lying here awake and have discovered there could possibly be an affair going on - or at least my partner is showing interest in another. AIBU to LTB for a few hours to clear my head?

thighofrelief · 10/10/2018 22:19

yes fatal attraction. Funny to think the phrase "bunny boiler" entered common usage just from that film.

PawneeParksDept · 10/10/2018 22:22

Yes Get Out

So it turns out that the woman I thought was my Mum is actually a witch that kidnapped me as a baby and keeps me as a shut in. WIBU to run off with the first handsome man to cross my path?

I hate the fecking outdoors, especially the highlands. It’s cold, drizzly and the next train is two hours. Dragged out here by my mate in the name of healthy exercise. Would it be U to find a way to get back at him?

RedTartanLass · 10/10/2018 22:36

AIBU to run away because I fancy my engaged employer? I'm a nanny to his 7 kids and have fallen head over heels in love with him. He has a beautiful fiancé who tries her best with his kids but with all the political unrest in this country I just don't know what to do!!

Binkytheslug · 10/10/2018 22:39

And another...

It’s probably a bit TMI, but I so want to pull that plaster off my boss’ neck and see what’s underneath... Sporn anyone?

CoolCarrie · 10/10/2018 22:44

Yes, Whiskey Galore Mip!

Sooo my uncle went on some final road trip before he pops his clogs and he leaves me this family heirloom. Turns out it’s a boring plain gold ring! Oh well thinks I let’s get it on EBay and it’s off to the local festival for me and my bestie.
Anyway then a family friend turns up and he’s all like “only you must have the ring the fate of the known world depends on it blah blah blah!” He’s well old and it’s mine to sell right! He’s always sticking his nose in plus he smokes too much and it’s stinking the house out. Aibu to flog it at the local pub when he’s not looking??

CoolCarrie · 10/10/2018 22:55

Heading back home after working abroad I get chatting to this woman. Only then she disappears. People keep saying I dreamt her or that I'm mad. But I'm not. She was real. She was!

AIBU to keep looking for her even though it's interrupting two bores who are only concerned with cricket?
