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 think there’s a few Jane Eyre fans here today :)

No wonder they were sent off to their cousin's most holidays.

I realised that instead of saying I guessed the ages, I should have said I'd changes the ages so it wasn't too outing. And the dog could have neen a drip feed!

I guess because the plot line is pretty crazy when you think about it!

I wouldn't, you can bet it will come out, probably at the wedding, and she'll be really upset about it. If course, if she's really into you, at some point you will be together, it just probably won't be for a few years. HTH.

Oh no - my other half has also discovered mumsnet

Massive drip feed incoming...

Aibu, that myself and my pompous little gang of six friends are solving lots of mysteries, thst the police and other adults are failing to solve, we meet in a shed in the Garden to discuss our current mystery .

Most of the books whose plot I know well would require too much reference to magic, dragons, timetravel or spaceships for an AIBU to work

I have 5 DDs who all live at home. I’m at the end of my tether with DH who has almost completely disengaged with family life. He spends hours locked in his study and only really talks to DD2 (20). Some inheritance complications along with his general apathy means we’re in a pretty dodgy state financially and I’m really worried about how we’re going to manage in the next few years. The more I try to talk to him about it, the more I get passive aggressive eyerolls, stonewalling and mocking. It’s playing havoc with my mental health! A wealthy bachelor has recently moved to the area. AIBU to try a little light matchmaking for my DDs to try to improve our prospects? Please don’t tell me to LTB as that’s not an option currently.

Are dh and I unreasonable to go on a big adventure across rivers, swamps and forests taking out 2 children, baby and barky dog on a bear hunt? It will be character building, won’t it?!

I have a bit of a shopping problem - aibu to just ignore my bank manager who keeps calling me. One might even call it harrasment - he turned up at my place of work

I plan on paying it back eventually - may even hold an auction

What if you can't go over it or under it?

AIBU I think I am the OW, I’m not used to people treating me nicely I had a horrible childhood and the only people that were ever kind to me all died or went away, I had an affair with my much older boss and it turned out that not only was he married but that his wife lived above the shop and when her DB came to see if she was OK my DP pretended to me that he was just a friend.

I left and tried to go NC. Another man who turned out to be my cousin asked me to get married but I just wasn’t that into him.

Although I tried so hard to go NC one night I just felt like DP was messaging me so I went back to where he lived and found out that his DW was dead and the house had burned down in a fire. I went to see where he lived now, I thought I would just take a look, and I thought he didn’t see me but he realised I was there and when he started talking I remembered how he made me feel in the beginning before I found out about the wife and everything else he’d done.

Now he wants to get married and I think I want to too. AIBU?

You should be on Eastenders, you'd be in good company. There are no family boundaries or taboos in Albert Square.

I adopted a mule from an animal sanctuary and have never had anything other than honest intentions towards him.

I was adopted and had a crush my teenage male cousin when I was between the ages of eight and ten. Nobody else knew and I got over it. Just as well because he became a quite left wing journalist.

AIBU?

I was sneaking in to this party with my homeys to see this girl I really fancied, but then i saw this other girl - she's, like, 13 or something - and she's a total hottie so I married to her before she could get with this society dude her family were fixing her up with.

So then my mates were getting into it with her cousin over, like, nothing, and it all gets way intense and her cousin totally knife-crimed my best mate, and so like I had to stab him back. Like, who wouldn't?

So I've been kicked out of the whole place just cos of that and now I hear my baby wife is like, dead and everything, so WABU to go to her family crypt and stab the society dude and poison myself to show them who's boss?

This morning I woke up to find I had turned into a giant cockroach. My mother and sister are behaving rather badly, but my father worries me the most - he keeps throwing apples at me. One’s actually hurt me. Surely this is not your average existential crisis?? AIBU?

But... the mouse would disappear and then you would have an invisible, evil mouse on the loose.

You need to send the dog with them.

AIBU to think that everyone I meet has an ulterior motive?
I went for a walk in my local woods, I was munching away on a nut (my favourite food) and my neighbours, who don’t usually bother with me kept inviting me for tea. I turned them down because they made me feel uneasy. I don’t know what they want. AIBU to think they just want me for my nuts?

Should I go NC with toxic parents?

My DM took me and my siblings to a holiday home in the Lake District. We wanted to camp on an island, but my DM doesn't think she has the authority to say yes or no. She's messaged our absent father to get his views.

He's basically said he'd rather we we all drowned in the lake than were shit at sailing and camping. My DM thinks this is a good thing and has said we can go.

Ahh yes Bogtrottor. For some reason I thought Jenkins (Bruno)...he of course was lured by chocolate as opposed to being made to eat all of it.

I don't think the poster has thought that far. They'll probably have to go through it, which will be really dangerous.

Absolutely 😁

As long as they remember to close the door when they get home, it'll be grand.

Are you sure YOU'RE the cockroach? I read about someone else this happened to, but it turned out the real bugs were the family. Mind you, the person who told me this also said his uncle got tattooed to death in prison once, so not sure I believed him.
