Unreasonable past behaviour that you would never have dared run by AIBU

What unreasonable behaviour have you committed in the past, that would have earned you a dressing down on mumsnet 'AIBU'?

I'll start. When I moved in with my now-husband, he had a painting on his wall of a naked woman, painted by his ex. It looked very much like a self-portrait and she looked hot. I crafted a frumpy bikini out of black paper and blue-tac'd it on.

I wash my towels after they have been in use for at least 2 weeks.

I took loads of drugs and it was fun. I turned out to be a normal person!

I live in Brighton (land of the woke). It's really nice and people are friendly. I don't even hate trans people.

Mine and DPs relationship has had so many red flags over the years, but actually we are pretty happy.
I wouldnt talk about many issues on MN as everyone digs deep to try and work out if you or your partner are terrible for unrelated reasons,

@DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult

I deliberately got the name of my exes girlfriend wrong (he cheated on me) and then when she corrected me I said "whatever, its not important" 🤣🤣

I'm not even sorry.

My dsis can’t pronounce my ex’s ow name. Starts with a sh sound and my dsis has a slight lisp. She’d try a couple of times then say “fuck it! Shit’s shit.” Grin

Me and my partner decided to have a baby at 18. We didn't get married until four years later. I was a SAHM and if I was pottering around the upstairs bathroom in the evening, I'd ask my DH if he wanted a bath running. We'd both go out and kept our social lives going, which included overnight stays.
After I was widowed in my 30's, I had a great time doing ecstasy and having fuckbuddies.
I love weddings and giving cash for a present. I've enjoyed fancy dress parties as well. I did Christmas Eve bags, Easter presents and decorated every bit of the house for both.

Over 30 years ago when I was a teenager I was OW... Now I see I was in too deep with adult situations that I didn't really understand, but MN AIBU will be glad to hear he turned out to be a lazy, abusive, tight, gambling philanderer. It was a horrible marriage. 4 children and 18 years later I managed to divorce him. And actually MN would have been right all along.

My friend slept with my (then) randy moral-vacuum dog of a boyfriend - so I slept with hers. She never knew that I knew and she never knew what I did. Still makes me smile 30 years later. IANBU. Grin

DH moved in with me after a week and after 3 weeks proposed. We got married within a year and have been married 26 years.
I went through his clothes and binned any I didn't like.
We got cash instead of presents for our wedding.

steppemum · 22/04/2021 10:09

dh and I met in Sept on a course we were both doing (in our 30's)
Started going out at Christmas, engaged at easter, married in the summer.

still together 22 years and 3 kids later.

Batshitkerazy · 22/04/2021 10:34

My current partner moved in with me after 6 months, and we started trying for a baby after 1 year

I got a BU because I complained about a woman kicking my toddler DS in the non swimmers swimming pool.

The local pool has a full size pool with lanes for lane swimming and a small pool for non swimmers. The big pool is closed for school lessons for half an hour and the adult swimmers finish or a few come to the small pool.

I was holding 2 yo DS and walking backwards with him 'swimming', so didn't realise I was crossing her invisible 'lane'. She saw us quite clearly, didn't stop and kicked DS is the stomach. He cried, but she completely ignored us.

I was told I was U for not giving way (like I had eyes in the back of my head) to the adult swimmer in the toddler pool!

Meatshake · 22/04/2021 11:36

Holy fuck @notagainmummy I'd have fucking decked her.

Errr tbh that's my unreasonable roasting- I'm sweaty and aggressive when people are dicks to me. I love saying a firm "go fuck yourself" when someone is being a passive aggressive twat rather than doing twinkly laughs back, life is too short for that!

Rosewood017 · 22/04/2021 13:07

@Meatshake "twinkly laughs back" 😂

I wish I was more like this. I'm so non-confrontational!

I would have been fuming if someone kicked my little one like that.
