Urgent Help I don't know what to do AIBU?

NamechangedforAIBU · 16/12/2020 10:05

I've name changed because my post is very outing and I don't want my SIL who is on here and my best 2 friends in the entire world who know my username on here to find out.
So what do I do, AIBU or is it ok?
Please be gentle with me, I've been awake all night not sure what to do and written a list of the for's and against and since cannot decide.
I just cannot ask my family or my work colleagues I'm working from home and feel a bit distant from them all the closeness at work has gone and we haven't seen each other in months. I really cannot bear asking my 2 best friends they won't judge me but it will make a difference to our friendship.
So I'm at the mercy of MN. Yes I know some will flame and some will be cruel and mean but there are people on here that will also be kind and helpful so hoping that one of those can help me out?
Thanks in advance

I'm glad it isn't just me who thought I'd missed the AIBU, I read the OP about 4x but I have a non sleeping baby so I'm used to not being with it Grin

Leave the bastard and take him for all he's got, and while you are at it, kick your friends to the kerb because you know in your heart of hearts they are not your true friends like what we are on MN

I strongly suspect OP was running low on their 'GIVE ME ATTENTION' meter. Yawn.

MaryLeeOnHigh · 16/12/2020 10:42

Can't be that urgent, then.

This is what I think to.
Flowers for the great advice.
Thank you

The OP wants to know if they should report their neighbour I bet.

vodkaredbullgirl · 16/12/2020 10:44

Confused lol

@Hoppinggreen

You should totally LTB or cancel the cheque or get your ducks in a row or something
All of those are possibilities. Having a cup of tea whilst wrapping presents and considering all my options before I make a move.

You need to take screen shots as evidence and make sure you have your own finances. For the love of god DO NOT ENGAGE and make sure you’ve parked appropriately.

Do you plan to sell a kidney to fund christmas?

@TheFormerPorpentinaScamander

I just read the OP 3 times thinking I'd missed the actual AIBU.

OP do you need an alibi? You know under the patio is the first place they'll look don't you?

Oh bugger. I thought the patio was a great place. It's new and no one will replace for 10 years or so. Should I also get decking put over the top?

Just don't forget to log all this with 101. And then give 111 a call too just in case.

SafferUpNorth · 16/12/2020 10:46

Hahaha! Merry Christmas OP, may your days be merry and bright! Grin

efes · 16/12/2020 10:46

So you've bought your MIL a niche personal appliance from a specialist store and are unsure whether to give it to her?

Yes, do it.

emmathedilemma · 16/12/2020 10:47

Yes, you should throw out the toilet brush.
