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?

Why not train the children up to be a jazz band? Win win.

Of course, thank you!

"Not long ago my DF died and now my DM has married his brother, with unseemly haste in my opinion.

I feel like I'm the only one who wants to give my Dad a decent period of mourning, everyone else is "Yay - a wedding!" I never liked my uncle much anyway, so thinking of him & my DM in bed together makes me feel quite nauseous - I mean it's incest surely??

So now my Dad's ghost has appeared and told me my uncle actually murdered him 😱! What's more he wants me to kill my uncle in revenge.

AIBU to do as he asks? And how should I hide what I'm planning from DM & Uncle? Should I pretend to be a bit bonkers and how will this affect my relationship with the girl I've been seeing?"

You sound like a controlling arsehole TBH, with a real Madonna/whore complex thing going on as far as your attitude to women is concerned. If your gf was on Mumsnet we'd tell her to LTB, in fact I wonder if she's the mumsnetter who was posting in Relationships yesterday (it sounded very similar) - she said you were an arrogant dickhead to her dad- fair enough he sounds like a bit of a pompous twat but come on - had taken the piss out of her for the way she walks and talks (you sound horrible) her cat's pet name (WTF) and criticised her for wearing makeup (?? like seriously WTF) You can't just blame it all on your mental health or say that you were just kidding and it was only bantz. She really needs to run for the hills (like, literally- not downstream!) and not look back.

Dogger??? Loved that book!!

WWYD? My youngest sister keeps telling us that she's found a magical land inside a wardrobe. Apparently it's always winter there and never Christmas. She's met this faun chap who keeps giving her tea.

My brother said he'd been there as well but then he said it was just a game

The old professor we are living with seems to think my sister could be right and that she's not going mad

I dunno what to think

I am really struggling with this one and I really need female input - I am happily married m(40) to my wife f(38) and she is telling me that my mother may be overstepping a bit? I have always been close to my mum, but to be honest, the last few years have been odd - she keeps appearing and telling me that she’ll love me forever and like me for always - it is getting really freaky, I’m a grown man! We took the house keys off her but recently she somehow got in and was all over me in the bathroom telling me I’d always be her baby - AIBU to think this is completely creepy?

@Miffylou Just don’t let wee sis get a butt-twitcher dress, so phony!

Love this!

Would I be unreasonable to sue in these circumstances? I won a competition to see some confectionery being made and I fell into a stream in the middle of the factory that was totally not screened off - I got injured, fat shamed and kicked out of the chance of winning the prize, but everyone said it was my own fault, despite the fact I was about ten at the time?

AIBU?
DH and I recently moved into quite a prestigious building. All the influencers love it, apparently. We had a bit of bother extricating ourselves from a previous apartment but everyone expects a bit of toing and froing, don’t they?

I’m busy decorating etc while he’s out looking for work, he’s a bit of a luvvie and it’s starting to grate on me tbh.
Anyway.
He’s managed to get us invited to dinner with the neighbours and quite frankly, I don’t want to go.
They seem like the sort of people who’d have picky bits for tea and I just hate that. I prefer a decent steak, rare.
WIBU to take my own dessert? Or would that be rude?
I just think it’s nice to make a contribution?

Yes, that's exactly what the wise old man mansplainer told me to do.

I have recently been widowed. I am very fond of my MIL and we get on very well together. I am quite happy to stay as I am but MIL is determined to find me a new husband. She has her eye on a local farmer and makes me hang around his corn fields so that he will see me. Her latest scheme is to smuggle me into his bedroom and make me sleep at the foot of his bed. She is convinced this will make him fall in love with me. AIBU to tell her to stop trying to marry me off ?

DH, DS and I live in a quite isolated house in the woods, we keep ourselves to ourselves and have no idea who our neighbours are - we like it that way as some people seem to find us intimidating.

So this morning I made breakfast, but it was too hot to eat so we decided to go for a long bracing walk in the woods. We were a bit longer than expected, as DS kept climbing trees, and DH was looking for wild honey to go on our breakfast.

When we got back we realised straightaway we had an intruder - the kitchen chairs were all re-arranged as if someone had been sort of trying them out. Then we realised a bit of each of our breakfasts had been sampled and in fact all of DS's had been eaten.

We creot upstairs and looked on the bedrooms and it looked as though someone had trued all the beds out - then when we went into DS's room we were flabbergasted to find a little blonde girl asleep in his bed! The noise of us coming in woke her up, she took one look at us and ran out of the house screaming!

When we got outside, she had vanished. DS is very upset as he wanted to make friends and play with her, DH is pretty miffed about the broken chair, and I'm a bit annoyed at having to launder all the bed linen and make more porridge.

However, we're not heartless beasts and I'm quite concerned about such a young child wandering aline in the woods.

WIBU to set a man trap in case she comes back? DS would so love a friend....

This is one occasion when I'd listen to your MIL. B is a good chap and your decisions around this have far reaching consequences. Anyway do you want to spend the rest of your life going over fields for the leftovers? Backbreaking and youll need spa days after much more.

My DD has a hare lip. She’s a pretty girl, apart from that. I keep meaning to get it fixed but something always seems to get in the way of it.
Well, we have no health insurance so I’m not sure what I’m supposed to pay for it with?
A sack of turnips?
Chance would be a fine thing.
In the meantime, I suppose she could just put her hand over her mouth? No one will notice, will they?

From your earlier threads, I think everyone already probably thinks you’re bonkers, so why not? I advise reference to hawks, and maybe handsaws.

Although… this may really upset your GF - and her brother - so it might be a bad idea

Difficult situation and a reflection of the (non existent) NHS, why aren't the Government doing something, the wars with Napoleon are an excuse and we need a change, now.

All I'd say re the situation is that if an itinerant weaver rocks up and shows an interest in your DD, be extremely welcoming.

That's one of the cleaner and less gruesome Bible stories.

AIBU or maybe just very naive?

Every time something stressful happens in our life, he literally (literally!) disappears and turns up sometimes days later, completely naked with some shit story about how he's been time travelling.

AIBU to believe this, or is this just The Script and he's got a side-piece?

WIBU to shop my siblings to the authorities for a reward?

TBF I do really, really like Turkish Delight.

AIBU to fantasise about a man other than my husband?

I've come to the conclusion that "D"H is lazy and a bit thick. He has a stupid laugh too. I think it's giving me the ick.

He seemed different before we married, but he doesn't agree with something I did (not cheating!) and won't accept it. He'd rather hang out with his friends and talk rubbish than talk to me.

I can't help comparing him to a man who's doing a lot of humanitarian work undercover to protect his identity. He's so brave, and must be really intelligent. All my friends are fascinated by him too.

AIBU to wish I was married to a man like that instead?

Aibu? My dad thinks I am but I'm positive our neighbour killed the dog and I want to prove it by harassing him endlessly.

If it was Tom Hardy then no - YANBU! 🤣

AIBU to expect punctuality from DD6?

DM has been poorly for a while so I sent DD over, through the woods, with a cooked meal. She’s been gone ages, idiot child. It’s getting dark and it’s a school night. At least she’s put her hooded coat on.

Was IBU to punish my son and take away his food? He was chasing the dog and generally making mischief while dressed up so I sent him to bed with no supper. There are lots of strange sounds coming from upstairs in his bedroom - he might be asleep; I'm not sure. Shall I leave supper on a table in his room?
