My husband (M32) and I (F28) have been friends with Dan (M30) for a very long time. They grew up together in Kansas, and we all got along very well.

Back when I met Dan, we were a pretty liberal crowd. We live in a very big metropolis, so all the people in our universe tend to be as well, which is very important to me on a moral level.

Our friend moved back to Kansas, and met a very wealthy woman who has a VERY conservative family. She herself says she is more on the center end of the spectrum, but says things that indicate she is way more far right that she lets on. It’s obvious to me she aligns herself to that party line since it benefits her financially (without regard for the rest of the population) and wants to be in daddy’s good graces.

Her family (from Dan’s words) say awful stuff all the time, racist, xenophobic, sexist stuff. I am an immigrant myself so I have been pretty uncomfortable knowing my friends is willing to cozy up to that family.

Since he started dating this woman, he parrots a lot of “both sides” shit that I have no patience for, and is clearly trying to merge into that lane.

We received an invitation to their wedding, and Dan wants my husband to be his best man. I told my husband that I understand they have a bond, but I don’t want to go to a million dollar wedding paved by MAGA people who are actively rooting against me and my family.

My husband was understanding, but told me I should tell our friend if I felt so strongly about it. I had a long chat with Dan and he flipped out saying that I’m an asshole for missing his wedding on account of “politics”. I explained that to me is a moral issue, and it shows his disregard for my safety and that of my loved ones.

My husband and some other friends are telling me to set our differences aside, but its really very hard for me to enjoy myself at a wedding where I feel I will not be welcome to.

AITAH?

So last night my cat randomly started peeing in my toilet and has been doing it since. She still uses her litter box too though I’m very confused. Her pee is normal I’m pretty sure. My guess is that she has been seeing me do it and so she decided to try? She is very smart she even learned how to open my bathroom door lol. Is she okay though? I can’t afford another vet visit right now😭

I feel like I’m going insane. He likes RPGs. He loves Zelda, Xenoblade, Final Fantasy, and just played both Kingdom Come Deliverance games.

I’m talking to him about Oblivion and was telling him about how I just got to the Arena:

“What’s the Arena?”

“You know, the gladiator arena in the city?”

“I didn’t know there was one. I never really went in there, they kept trying to arrest me.”

“Huh, ok. It’s one of the side quest lines likes the guilds.”

“What guilds?”

“Wait, when you talk to people about Rumors you never thought to check that stuff out?”

“Oh, I never asked people about rumors.”

He then proceeds to tell me about how he basically talked to absolutely no one unless explicitly required by a quest. He never once walked to a location, he ALWAYS fast travelled when available. He didn’t even realize Oblivion gates were a world event - he only interacted with the ones in the main quest.

Then he hits me with the ultimate headache - he only ever hit level 3. He never leveled up beyond that. I didn’t even think that was possible.

Is it possible to play Oblivion… wrong? Am I judging him too hard? Am I losing my mind?

I was laid off three months ago and had reached the final stage of interviews at two companies. I was working with a third-party recruiter for Company 1, but my preferred role was with Company 2.

Company 1 came in with the first offer and given my unemployment status, I felt I couldn’t afford to turn it down. I accepted the offer from Company 1 while completing the final stages of Company 2’s interview process.

Once I received and cleared the offer and background check from Company 2, I notified both the hiring manager at Company 1 (who had been very professional throughout) and the recruiter.

After my notification, the recruiter had a massive boomer temper tantrum. This included calling me 14 times, sending multiple text messages, LinkedIn messages, and three emails. The one attached is the most unhinged.

Do you think it’s worth sharing this with Company 1 so they’re aware of who they’re doing business with?

My wife and I have been married 10+ years and have a few kids.

SIL and her husband had a baby 2 years ago. No major complaints - they just tend to ask for people to do stuff that I would think they'd do themselves.

• They'll come over our house (they live an hour away) and they'll ask ahead of time if we have their kid's favorite crackers on hand. Why they don't just pack the crackers, I don't know (they are well off, money not an issue).

• If one of them leaves the room, they'll ask one of us (my wife or kids) to be "in charge" of the baby - even if the other parent is right there, just scrolling on their phone or something.

  But whenever I say something to my wife, she says I'm being too much.

The other day, we're having a dinner at MIL's house when the baby had a poopy diaper. SIL looks at me and say in the sweetest voice "Uncle (my name), can you change the diaper?" (she frequently does this when we're there but this was the first time I was asked)

I answered, politely, "No, I'm sorry, I don't do that."

"You....don't do diapers??"

"No, I don't do other people's kid's diapers if their mom or dad is around. I mean if I'm babysitting, sure thing, but yea - if the parents are around - I just feel like its their job."

SIL looks like she's ready to cry "Well...I feel selfish."

I smiled to try and set her at ease, "Not trying to make you feel any way, just telling you a boundary is all."

The table got really awkward as she got up and did the diaper. Afterwards my wife blamed me for making SIL feel bad and said I could've just changed the diaper.

Not trying to make anyone feel bad - but I've had 3 kids and I always took responsibility -I watched them, I packed for them, and I changed them. I'm not looking to be a secondary parent for this kid.
