AITA for telling my wife that I'm ending our marriage because I found her brother at our house ( again) and said it in front of him?

28 March 2025 @ 9:30 pm

I ( M38) left my wife ( Kelly F38) today. 5 years together. 4 married. I have battled her lack of boundaries about her family for the past 2 years. I understand that they are very close knit, but she never paid attention to how their dynamics affected our relationship. I experienced every “justnofamily” situation. My food was eaten, showing up uninvited, meddling, you name it. 9 months ago, MIL and FIL began divorce proceedings ( he cheated, fell “madly” in love with a side chick with whom he's lived for the past 15 years, and he decided that he wants to get remarried). He kicked everyone out of the house. It was an emergency, so I agreed to help out. I so fucking regret it. I had to take 4 people in, but they couldn't think to avoid constantly pissing me off. I got sick of finding them using our private bathroom ( they had complete access to the other full bathroom by the hallway). SIL started taking naps on our bed which is

Can you guys please help me to feel better? I have just been DESTROYED.

28 March 2025 @ 9:23 pm

I was in the train loo next to the doors where I and about 10 other people were standing, because there was no room. Someone tried to get in, at which point I realised I had forgot to press the lock button. The round doors slid open, revealing my bare arse to the absolutely packed train like some grotesque game show. The unfortunate recipient of this very circular prize was mortified and apologised profusely. I on the other hand froze. I have never been so utterly mortified in my life. I then had to go and take my place with the audience because there was just nowhere else to go. We were like sardines. We all just acted like nothing had happened but we all knew. I am traumatised. I never want to show my face, or anything else, ever again. submitted by /u/Villan900 to r/CasualUK

Is it still a common tradition to ask your partner's dad's permission to marry them in this country?

28 March 2025 @ 8:57 pm

I've been with my current partner for almost 5 years and thinking of proposing later this year, however I'm unsure if I should ask her dad's permission first. When I was with my ex, she insisted on me asking her dad first (even though after I asked him he said there was no need) and when my partner's sister's fiancé proposed to her last year he asked her dad's permission. To me, it seems a very archaic tradition, essentially treating your wife as her father's property, but maybe that's just me? Did you ask their dad for permission before proposing? submitted by /u/InviteAromatic6124 to r/AskUK [link]
