Your book character is on AIBU!

[WaterBird]

Your book character is here on AIBU! This can be from any book you have read or are currently reading.
Only rules:
DO reference the book you are referring to because there are so many out there.
Choose the character that's most likely to get pulled apart for this unreasonableness.
I will do mine in the below post.

Yes, YABU.
I applaud you for fleeing the first bloke, but please don't step into a loveless marriage.
Plus, now you have lots of money from your inheritance. What more could you possibly want in life?

What more could you possibly want in life?

I had proposed an alternative plan to St John, that we should travel as brother and sister, to perform our missionary work. He argues that God and nature 'intended me for a missionary's wife':

“‘We must be married – I repeat it: there is no other way; and undoubtedly enough of love would follow upon marriage to render the union right even in your eyes’”

At the moment, I'm wavering and St John keeps talking to me to change my mind. I've got to give my head a wobble as so many PP remark around here and keep telling myself:

f I join St John, I abandon half myself: if I go to India, I go to premature death'

He prizes me as a soldier would a good weapon

My friends think I'm crazy. Round here, I'm so used to seeing myself as poor and plain, the idea of turning down an offer of marriage from a handsome and courageous man and supporting him in his vocation has people wondering about my sanity.

I know that at best, He will never love me; but he shall approve of me'

Must go - St John is fed up with me and I think I hear someone calling my name (a well-known, loved someone)...

Plus, now you have lots of money from your inheritance. What more could you possibly want in life?

Exactly. Hire a respectable older lady as companion/housekeeper - that nice Mrs Fairfax, perhaps - and go and live it up in Paris or Vienna or somewhere.

Or do a bit of literary crossing over and hire Walter Hartright to give you drawing lessons and stop him falling for drippy Laura.

She doesn't have a lot of money.
I suppose that she could try to steal it, or use other means, to get money for the chalet, but that would lead to even more trouble.

The cost of living is a lot lower in Austria, and we can sell the house we have here, which is sometimes in Cornwall and sometimes in Devon. But then consider the weather and the landscape in Austria - one's pupils would be forever getting caught in storms or stuck on mountains or falling into lakes. One would have to hope that a doctor would always be close at hand....

AIBU to think that I'm normal?
My husband left me for another woman, but saw me in bed fully clothed with another man. He and his new lover, who is his cousin and 10 years older than him (just why?) have made all sorts of accusations, but they seem mainly initiated by her, so AIBU to try to get him back?
Also, I decided it would be fun to take on a new personality and become my ex's divorce lawyer's secretary, then shag him despite the fact that he has a wife and baby twins.
I have four personalities, that talk to one another. But nobody knows about them. They might just be in my head?
(It's this book called Splitting by Fay Weldon. It's supposed to be about multiple personality disorder, but it never really fits that, and that term is never used).

I've home school DD because, well, the local schools aren't suitable for our type of people. She's tricky, and has some gender identity issues. I do give her a lot (a boat, and an island), but have had to tell her that her dog needs to go because he's frankly out of control.

To add to my problems, DH is difficult. Possibly emotionally abusive. DD and I are on egg shells most of the time.

AIBU to invite her cousins down in the hope that they can find treasure to allow me to pack DD off to boarding school?

Sounds like a very interesting premise. What book is that?

Sorry, I can't seem to tag for some reason. I was asking the PP.

Sounds like the first Famous Five by Enid Blyton to me. PP is talking about Georgie - the cousins are Julian, Anne, Dick and Timmy the dog.

I am sick of people walking around all happy and bleating on about having a merry Christmas.
These people have no idea, they are just being ripped off. I don’t want to spend or celebrate this stupidity.
I remember as a boy when I was an apprentice I had an employer that used to close early on Christmas Eve and re-arranged furniture for everyone to party. I look back now and think he was a fool to spend out on all that food!
My DNephew is always trying to get me to celebrate with them. When will this madness end and why are people trying to inflict it upon me!
I have just got home and I think I saw the ghost of my old business partner. Could it be due to my mind and perhaps my dinner playing tricks on me? Or do you think it was a real experience?

YANBU to be uncertain whether to book yourself into the Memory Clinic or ponder on whether this is a damascene experience for you, Ebanezer

tbh, the chances of getting an appointment this side of Christmas are minimal. But, do what you can, and let us know how this plays out. You might also want to take a stroll past the butchers to see if there's a large goose there, should it prove necessary.

Yes, arran, it's Five Go To Treasure Island. But Timmy the dog isn't one of the cousins. Because that would be weird.

AIBU?
I met a young lad when we were 19. He became besotted with me, but I called the shots on our relationship.
The whole time we dated, he was determined to leave the community for university. In order to get him to marry me, I said I was pregnant though I am not.
I'm not quite bored of him! AIBU to leave him, then go with my DM and DF to Australia?
(Arabella, Jude the Obscure)

AIBU to think that if The Road Goes Ever On I may as well stay at home and leave this Ring in an envelope on the mantelpiece? After all, it’s just an inexpensive piece of jewellery, no-one could possibly want it.

Ah, Frodo-Lad, I despair for you. You have much to learn...
And you'll only have my help intermittently because I'm off...
