I have a whole separate post which goes into more detail about why I don’t want to be around his friends but the short story is I went to a weird party hosted by one of them and ever since I’ve felt uncomfortable around them and have been avoiding them. My husband knows how I feel and so do his friends.
For my husband’s birthday, his parents hosted a dinner. These friends of his are family friends and they regularly socialise with my in-laws so I had a feeling they would be invited so I asked my husband and he told me it was just going to be family.
We arrive and all of his friends were there. I tried really hard to just suck it up and get through the night but I couldn’t. I ended up leaving without saying goodbye to anyone and text my husband when I was in the uber going home.
When he got home, he was angry at me over what happened, especially since I left without warning or saying goodbye to anyone which left him in an awkward position as he had to come up with an excuse for why I had suddenly left. We had a huge fight and I ended up locking him out of our bedroom because he wouldn’t drop it.
AITA?
this happens every year and i hate it every time. I thought this year would finally be different. I even threw away the hat i wear because they mess up my hair each time. now i gotta go to school looking like a dickhead :(
(edit - I've been informed in the comments "irish goodbye" is an insulting stereotype... And I definitely recognize the hypocrisy of using a stereotype in a post about hating bigotry! Thanks to everyone who mentioned that, for teaching me something. I unfortunately can't edit the title but I should have said something like "leaving without telling anyone" instead)
I'm a lesbian. I was at family Christmas and my family was talking about my auntie's boss at work, who had tried to get people to work on Christmas. I asked if she had family, a husband or wife perhaps? I was asking because I couldn't imagine someone with a partner wanting to go to the office on Christmas day. I really didn't give a second thought about the "or wife" part of my comment.
Anyway my uncle complained I had to "make it gay" and the way I was talking was "political correctness gone mad" and a couple of my older family members backed him up in a "kids these days" way...
I stepped out shortly after for some air without telling anyone.
I felt stressed because I realized a lot of my family was acting pretty bigoted... And I'd been thinking of coming out to my extended family that night; my parents and sister know but nobody else does. But I'd thought this was a good time to because I'm now in a long term relationship with a wonderful woman, I was thinking that if we're gonna be in each other's lives for hopefully the long haul, it wouldn't be fair to her to keep that a secret from my family.
But... After that, I felt it wasn't going to be a good idea. And standing out on the porch, I realized I just didn't want to be here. It was an obligation. So I left.
I saw a few texts from my mom asking where I was at and I replied to say I had headed out early, the homophobia going on wasn't my vibe so I was out
I was trying to be kinda lighthearted because I didn't want to admit how much I was feeling upset. But my mom read my texts not as reassuring but as disrespectful and flippant. She said that it was awful rude of me to leave before the gift exchange game (which needs a matching number of gifts and players to work) and not tell anyone based on 'vibes'
I texted back to say "sorry I was a little flippant but honestly I wasn't feeling good about being there so I left, I wanted to tell the family about (girlfriend) and I, but after the stuff everyone was saying.. nope
My mom texted me back to say that I can't talk about that stuff in front of grandma, who's from a different time.

Me and the wife are having a disagreement. For me, ta-da is only something a magician would say, she reckons it’s an informal way of saying goodbye. She’s clearly getting confused with ta-ta or ta-ra, both of which would be goodbye.
Hey guys, I just wanted to thank you all for the great memories shared during my time as a Ludwig fan. Unfortunately, I just recently lost my virginity and am therefore no longer qualified to be a fan of Ludwig. I will miss this community and its content greatly.
I don’t know exactly when it started, why it started, or how it started, but we as a community started swaying away from relying on detailed analysis and checking for sources.
Then, we as a community became quick to call one another a shill.. or when somebody had a differing opinion, or asked certain questions, we were quick to label it as FUD.
Now, we’re at a point where people are feeling like they’re putting their karma at stake to ask important questions.
What the hell? What has happened? Why isn’t anybody really talking about this?
We as a community need to remember that the QUESTIONS THAT WE ASK, is what DRIVES US FORWARD.
(BING BONG, THE FUCKING PRICE IS STILL WRONG.)
Ask your questions. Poke holes in everything. Find the proof that our thesis is WRONG.
Fuck y’all, have a good night, see ya in the mornin’.
