AIBU to be in love with my adoptive brother?

[orangesandlemonssaythebellsofstclements]

Sorry for the clickbait title - this is actually just a fun thread.

Take the plot of a book and turn it into a AIBU

I'll start.

AIBU to want to marry my adoptive brother that my dad found somewhere and instead of just doing it, acting like a total bitch to him and everyone else even after I'd died?

I did warn you my dear, Mr de Winter is far too sophisticated for a slip of a girl like you, I am happy for you to return to my employment as my companion if things don’t work out - before you make a fool of yourself trying to emulate Rebecca such a wonderful hostess, her parties were legendary I understand .I can only hope that the wonderful housekeeper is still in post to guide you in your new life.

Thank you!

I'm m16

I'm apprentice to quite a powerful person. He's very well known but most people who meet him only do it once. He assigned me a pretty important job that I messed up significantly so he's already pretty cross with me. I was very nearly fired, but I think he decided against it as I was really starting to get into the swing of it, and he was starting to 'live' a little before I messed up. It was a tough situation where I was supposed to let someone die for the greater good but I just couldn't let her be killed

My master has a daughter a similar age to me and I really like her. Neither of us will really have a chance to meet any other young people as we live VERY remotely

Aibu to marry her and leave my apprenticeship? I know we are young but I'm certain I love her

You must come to one of our legendary dinners one evening @Cattery , everyone says they are life changing……

@HouseFullOfChaos It’s thrilling. I remember reading it in one weekend. Couldn’t put it down. Enjoy x

@viques So I hear

YANBU but don’t be surprised when your DD gets her own back by seducing your husband.
You really shouldn’t have let them out to watch the Christmas Ball that night! She was bound to notice who you were dancing with most of the time.
And you completely underestimated your elder son’s intelligence; do you STILL not know how they got out?
And as for your needlework book; more fool you for not hiding it more carefully. You only gave your DD ideas to put in motion.

OT but OMG I hated WH! I expected a romance and instead everyone is horrible!

Dh has been tricky lately. He got fired from his teaching job after an unfortunate incident, & there was another incident we don't talk about with ds, 5 🥺.

But things are looking up - he's got a winter job caretaking a fancy hotel in the mountains! So exciting!

Ds doesn't seem keen. Keeps muttering something about 'red rum'. It's silly - we don't even HAVE alcohol in the house around dh!

My son is 18 and has a GF, 16. She's a nice kid but they want to get married. Way to young IMO. He has a trade so should be ok financially. She had an unplanned pregnancy so they are rushing the wedding but he told me they never slept together yet. She admitted he isn't the Dad, she is still a virgin but it's ok cos this baby is really special - wtf!! He was devastated at first, then had a trippy dream where someone told him to just roll with it and marry her anyway and pretend to be the Dad. She is due soon but they are gone off on some trip, I'm so worried the baby will come soon and they won't have anywhere safe to stay. I'm also gutted that he is fathering a child that isn't his, I hope they keep it to themselves but I've a horrible feeling the whole world will know someday. AIBU to be disappointed with his life choices?

Thank you! ❤️

It’s awful. I think you have to have read it as a dysfunctional an emotionally heightened teenager to think it’s great. Picking it up as an adult and you see how awful snd weird it is.

It’s from Colonel Brandon’s point of view

Yes I adored it as a teen but now it seems just very odd, and yes everyone is horrible!

Oh come on - you know darned well your son is in his mid 30s and she’s 14!

I worry for the child’s future with a start like that.

@BabaYetu wow that's some age gap, didn't know!!

It’s Sense and Sensibility from Colonel Brandon’s pov

😱

AIBU to be rather irritated that some rather uncouth fellows have apparently been 'invited over' by someone I used to know who entertained at kids parties, etc., and they're eating my cheese and trying to persuade me to help them get back some family heirlooms they let a squatter steal?

I loved my wife very much but when I found out that she was a victim of SA I was an absolute shit to her and abandoned her. I'm now devastated, as she was hanged today for killing her abuser, to try to win me back. It's all my fault. Would IBU to marry her sister?

YES, YOU ARE BEING VERY UNREASONABLE, BOY.

ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A GOOD CURRY?

I think this is Tess?

I’ve come into a rather decent fortune. I’m living in London now as a gentleman. Would I be a terrible snob to not want to see my rather uncultured brother in law who brought me up?

Yep.

Why are men called Angel always bastards?

At least check if Liza has slept with anyone before you marry her.
