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.

I’ve just met this guy, he is really handsome and we share similar interests. Anyway, a few of us all have a shared hobby so we decided to get away for a while together to practise said hobby.
Everything was going ok - took us a while to get there and we nearly drowned on the way but we made it in one piece. I then stupidly read an incantation from an ancient book of the dead and woke up a millennia old mummy who has brought the ten plagues of Egypt with him. I know I was wrong to do this but I at least want to try and fix what I did but this new guy I met wants to go home. AIBU?

My dad thinks I’m a disappointment, my mum died when I was very young.
Where we live ‘being a man’ is very important, I’m seen as a bit of a weed.
The local wildlife is scary to say the least and everyone is obsessed with killing it.
AIBU to go out and kill the scariest to prove to everyone that I’m not a waste of space?

AIBU to just say sod everything and go to California for Christmas this year? I have been seeing this guy on and off for ages, but at the work's Christmas do he announced he was engaged to someone else!!

I just feel like saying sod it all and disappearing for a while. I've seen a house available for a house swap - I could rent out my picture perfect cottage in the English countryside and I could go to LA in exchange? Yes she is a random stranger I'd be letting stay in my house, but I'm sure my brother will keep an eye on things.

It's my wedding night (arranged marriage, cement political alliances, yada, yada, yada) but I've just found out my mother is going to use the marriage I have just partaken in, to slaughter the large amount of my husband's supporters, who have gathered to celebrate our nuptials. Would I be unreasonable to keep him in my apartments, to prevent him from harm, even though I have no intention of consummating our marriage?
Also, my lover (who I intended to spend my wedding night with) dissed me, so I went and got some from a guy my maid and I picked out on the street, but there was something about the copulation that really left me wanting more, but I also suspect he was one of my husband's supporters amd is likely to be massacred this night!
Could this day get any weirder?

PrivateParkin · 09/10/2018 23:01

Yes correct! I'm rubbish at guessing everyone else's!

LucieMorningstar · 09/10/2018 23:03

So I’m from a well off family but would be very happy to find my own way in life. I’m fiercely independent but my mum wants me to marry this rich dude. We are on a cruise ship at the minute and my fiancé has given me this massive blue diamond necklace! There’s this lad though that I’ve been hanging around with, quite nice, good at drawing. I like him a lot! He stopped me from slipping off the back off the boat when I was being a tit! Did I say I like him a lot?! My mum doesn’t like him though, silly cow.

Either way best dash, people are saying the ships just hit an iceberg (best stash that diamond on me lol!)

I discovered my husband snogging my friend in the cupboard at a big party at our huge Surrey house. It’s been going on for years, so I’ve gone to stay with my sister who lives in a shitty flat in London.
I’m used to nice things but she seems to have so much fun. She goes to dance classes, swims at The Heath.
She’s got a male friend who seems to like me. Trouble is he lives on a boat and seems a bit common.
They want me to dance and enjoy life.
AIBU to go back to my husband and my big house?

PillowOfSociety · 09/10/2018 23:06

I’ve been doing some childcare for a couple who don’t really seem to have a lot of connection with their own children. The poor things just don’t get much fun, God, the other night they were terrified in a thunder storm. I’ve been trying to suppport the family at a busy time (the DM is involved in a really important campaign) but also give the children some different experiences and see more of life. But the other night we were dancing in the roof top (it’s quite safe, and I have a device which stops me plummeting at speed) with some friends of mine, and I have just realised none of them DBS check. WIBU?

To want to spend time with my real dad?
So, I recently found out that I am adopted. My dad, the one who adopted me, said my real dad lives in a big city a long way away.
I just got here, and the people here are a bit strange. They think my clothes are odd, they think my diet is odd, and they don't believe me when I tell them the truth.
My real dad seems embarrassed by me. I have a half brother who is also embarrassed by me, but I still feel happy because I met a really nice woman.
And it's nearly Christmas!
Aibu to think my real dad should try harder?
