I’ll start super easy: My best friend plays guitar. She’s absolutely awful but thinks she’s great and is now insisting on playing at my wedding. Should I tell her she’s awful or let her play?

Say who I am then post your own AIBU…

AIBU for wanting to make the coffees Irish? I would make them Belgian, but the waffles won't fit in the flask.

I asked my fiancé’s sister to pick up my wedding dress for me and keep it at her apartment. She ended up wearing it all the time, even while doing the dishes. Then she invited her mates over to wear their own wedding dresses and drink beer with her, AIBU?

AIBU for being tempted by my ex?
I thought I'd be with my boyfriend for ever, just recently he's been acting like a complete jerk, I feel I no longer know him.
My ex has now told me he wants to be with me I'm so confused.

My friends snooping around have discovered some incredibly embarrassing things at the back of my closet. I'm absolutely mortified, they won't believe me that I was looking after them for my flatmate.

Fun Bobby! Turns out he was fun for a reason.....

AIBU to forgive my boyfriend when he changed his locks just after he'd given me a key? I mean sure his ex is pregnant and he was really weird about our joint Christmas card; but this is all normal stuff right? I'm still his priority even if he leaves me at the cinema to go check on the his ex.

I wrote my ex a letter (18 pages front and back) explaining how I felt about our relationship and to ask him an important question before we got back together. AIBU unreasonable to be annoyed that he didn’t actually read it all and to think 18 pages front and back wasn’t too much?

AIBU? I wrote a cheque for a not so cheap piece of sports equipment for an endeavour that I'm about to set out on and my then waitress girlfriend thought it was for some very meaningful jewellery (i.e. an engagement ring). I didn't think we were at that stage in our relationship yet. She was very disappointed when I didn't pop the question and completely got the wrong end of the stick. Should I go out and get her a ring too?

I don’t want to pay for delivery of my new couch, as the delivery charge is almost as much as the couch itself. AIBU to think it can’t be too difficult to get a couch up a few stairs and into my apartment with the help of friends?

LookItsMeAgain · 06/11/2023 11:49

@ThatHeSaidSheSaid - Ross

I believe that if you pivot as you go up the stairs, you'll have no problems whatsoever. You're welcome 😉

I'm a woman in a ltr with another woman. She is divorced but expecting her ex husband's baby. He will be part of the child's life which is fine but he also wants the baby to have his surname double barreled with hers. We want the baby to have mine and her surname and his not to be a part of it. Aibu?
