AIBU - tv/film character POV

I’m bored and thought it would be fun idea to do some AIBU’s from tv and film character POV. Please join in Grin

AIBU to think maybe my job is cursed? Since I’ve worked here, I’ve been held up at gunpoint, been in a plane crash, lost my sister, my husband, a dear friend, my husbands best friend, my mother and a few more. I drowned when I was out and about and had to be revived. There is loads more too but you wouldn’t believe it.

On the one hand I think I should leave, I have very transferable skills and am award winning in my field - nothing is stopping me but I own shares in the ‘business’ and I think of my colleagues as family.

So AIBU to stay in a job I love but where I lose people constantly and am always just a moment from death?

You need to stay in your job, Meredith as you always get incredibly hot men. I think they make the near death experiences worth it.

You raise an excellent point Savage one shall stay for the hotties.

——————————

‘DH’ and I got married in the last two weeks and I haven’t spoken to him since the wedding, in fact I left the wedding through a bathroom window.

So as not to dripfeed DH and his ex are in the same friendship group and before my wedding I genuinely was not jealous and did not have any problems with him spending all his spare time with his ex. However, on the wedding day he called me by HER NAME! He sort of made a joke out of it and kept over pronouncing my name - I continued with the wedding to save face but now I’m not sure.

AIBU to not speak to him? And WIBU to tell him if he wants us to make this marriage work he can’t see his ex anymore??

You need to LTB Emily. He's clearly still in love with his ex, and you are somehow going to end up being portrayed as the unreasonable and controlling wife if you try to stop him from seeing her, even though you have done absolutely nothing wrong in this scenario.

Do you believe me? I kill vampires, our town in over run with them and demons but no one believes me, I have to work to pay for my house and had to drop out of college to look after my little sister who didn't exsit 5 years ago but is now 13. Should I just leave this hell mouth?

Buffy, love, I think you're underestimating how loved you are by your friends. Plus you're mighty kick ass. Odd taste in boyfriends but, hey, who am I to judge?

My flat mate is extremely weird and keeps copying everything I do. It was fun at first but now she's had her hair cut exactly like mine and people keep thinking she's me. Should I ask her to leave or just be flattered?

CastorTroyWantsHisFaceBack · 23/04/2019 18:37

Thanks youwill advice taken.

namechanged but you’re the chosen one buffy. Who else would save the world - A LOT, as per your tombstone!

AIBU to ask my parents for money for my daughter’s education?

I’ve been low contact with my very snobbish and wealthy parents for many years. I got pregnant with my daughter at sixteen but refused to marry the father against my parents wishes, although before that our relationship wasn’t good, after it broke down completely.

I left home shorty after my daughter was born and moved thirty miles away, taking a live in job as a hotel maid. Sine then I’ve worked my way up to manager, bought a house and made a life for myself (although I’m still single). My daughter is super bright, desperate to go to a top university in a couple of years time and the local state school isn’t really stretching her enough.

She recently passed the entrance exam to a very acedemic private school which would set her up for her chosen university, but the fees are more than I make in a year. The only way I can think of to cover the fees is to ask my parents for the money, it’d be a drop in the ocean to them. Would it be unreasonable for me to approach them for the money?

NeutralJanet · 23/04/2019 18:43

@Namechangedtoprotect, yeah your sister is an annoying brat but I'm sure that nice English vampire will give you a shoulder to cry on.

CastorTroyWantsHisFaceBack · 23/04/2019 18:45

bark Oh definitely ask them Lorelai - but maybe also try and reign in that kid of yours. I know she’s meant to be adorable and smart but she’s also a bit of a horrid cow Confused

I come from a family of many sisters - but my issue is with my younger sister.

I recently found out she’s engaged to my best friend from childhood and whilst I’m happy for them, BUT he asked me first and I said no.

In some ways I think it’s lovely but he did say to me he would find a way into the family. AIBU to feel like he’s settling for my little sister as a way to get into my family?

AIBU to be really pissed off with DB's GF? She has come to stay with us for a bit and she has brought like 80,000 friends with her, without asking. Also she has these two massive impractical reptiles who she insists are "like her children" and I'm worried because I don't think they're safe around people. DB is no use at all, he's besotted and behaves as if she's the Queen or something. How can I politely explain that this is my house and she can't just invite whoever she likes or bring her dragons over?

iklboo · 24/04/2019 07:33

Bide your time Sansa. I'm pretty sure your neighbours to the north are coming round to complain about the noise. They're a bit frosty so I reckon it'll kick off. You might get rid of a few uninvited guests then.

Hate to break it to you, Jo, but Amy was always the pretty, graceful one, so, once you gave Laurie his “March”ing orders, you can’t really be surprised he fell for her.
