    Let's make a universal rule, if we are at a wedding and someone proposes to a girl and we see that the newlyweds are uncomfortable (which means that they didn’t first agree with the newlyweds about the proposal), we give the proposal a "side eye" and completely ignore them.

      100%. No one pull out your phone to record them (they don't deserve the free videos/photography), don't clap, don't congratulate them. Just ignore it or otherwise loudly whisper how embarrassing it must be fore the person being proposed too, how tacky it is, or otherwise how shameful it is to do it at some else's wedding. The person proposing should instantly know they screwed up instead of everyone just pretending like its a totally okay thing to do and clapping along.
      Even if you're happy for the couple to get engaged in general, don't encourage people USING a bride and groom for a free engagement party.

    Gosh, that plastic surgery story reminded me of a totally opposite situation.... A distant aunt of mine had been in a terrible accident as a teenager and had scars that she didn't like. They were pretty visible. In our country, back then, marriages were mostly arranged and due to her scars, she had no proposals until very late in her 20's she finally got proposed to by a young man from her office who had grown very fond of her but she was worried that his family wouldnt accept her with her scars so she used her savings to get them taken care of as best as she could back then (about 20yrs ago) before she met them. They had been told about her accident and her surgery to help with the scars. The first time they met her, they were warm, comforting and loving... A few weeks after knowing her, the guy's mom broached the subject of her scars and things got awkward... The lady just held her face in her hands and said, you are lovely, scars or not... What your face looks like is less important than who you are on the inside. Future MiL then confesed that she had seen her pictures from before but she didn't care about the scars because of how happy she made her son and how warmly he spoke of her. She said, I wish you hadnt gone through the surgery just to please us... but I just hope that it helps her feel as beautiful as she actually is... I think my aunt fell in love with that whole family after that...

She chose to lie to him for four years and establish a relationship with literally his mortal enemy. Some adult children need to put through their thick skulls that parents are people too and not everything revolves around their children's happiness. The father was actually pretty generous and still agreed to pay for her wedding even knowing that. He only asked that his enemy would not be at the wedding. The father-daughter bond was irreparably damaged regardless.

I'm divorced myself and I will never forgive her dad for what happened between us but I was very clear from very early that my daughter doesn't have anything to do with any of that. She has a good relationship with him, it's her dad and I don't have the right to remove that from her. I keep my boundaries and I don't talk to him but also I've told to my daughter any important events like graduations or weddings I'll get a long with him because of her. Because she's more important than whatever happened in the past. In this case it's not a wife but an uncle, so yes it's his choice not to participate and not to pay but also he should understand his daughter doesn't own him "loyalty" for something that happened before she was born. It's not his life but hers, he should love his daughter more than he hates his brother.

    That last one about plastic surgery is just insane! A previous coworker of mine had a similar problem. His fiancé had to have what was effectively a mastectomy on one breast because of a severe injury. Years later after things had sufficiently healed, she decided to get implants. They recommended that she get both done so they would be symmetrical. (I'm repeating what he said, I'm not a doctor, so no corrections to the medical side please!) She was very excited because she had been very self-conscious about this ever since it happened. She got the surgery and looked great afterword, very naturally looking. His mom and grandma found out somehow about the surgery, and they were very upset with him, because "only a certain kind of girl" gets a boob job, so she was probably a "loose woman" who would cheat on him. (They got far more explicit.) He got very upset with them and told them they were no longer welcome at his wedding. His family went completely against him and fiancé not over the surgery, but his "disrespect" of his elders (cultural thing). They ended up eloping and completely cut his family off. The family tried to worm their way back in after they had kids, but he kept them NC.

    My cousin was mauled by a dog when she was 10. It left her with many scars and she did have a few reconstructive procedures then. In her mid 30s she had one on her face that was not aging well and you could see her shrinking away from life. She finally got two small procedures that have made it barely noticeable even without makeup. She came back to life. She was bright and happy again. 20 years later she still is.

    Fun fact, as someone who takes xrays as a job... sometimes people have their xray results sent to plastic surgeons. And it's not even for the general stuff plastics do. For some hand fractures that goes straight to plastics. The surgeons are meticulous and you need that detail to rebuild hands. Like I get that some people don't like plastic surgery, but not all surgeries done by plastic surgeons are for superficial things either.

    For the plastic surgery story : I find it interesting that it's called this way when there is two different cases. In french (my language) there's two way to name it : esthetic surgery (opperation to modify something for the looks of it, for exemple you don't like your nose and it makes you feel bad about yourself) and repare surgery (opperation that is often mandatory for people victim of accidents, for exemple someone with a lot of burn scars after their house caught fire)
    There's a big difference between the two and the mother seems to think that the wife is a superficial one that only thinks of her looks. In my opinion it's just an excuse to bitch about the wife because she dislikes her x)

      True that. Plastic surgery is an umbrella term in the United States. We even call an ear drum or eyeball replacement a plastic surgery. I got my hand crushed by a wild wolf as a child and had to have it completely rebuilt. But you can’t tell because it was plastic surgery. And I was 7. People are ignorant and especially in America, they think they are right over something because they believe some false narrative that has been propagandized so much it’s now practically a fear. It’s gross.

    I loved all the NTA men in these wedding dramas. The first for standing up to his narcissist brother (and unintentionally showing the brother's girlfriend what a red flag he was, and subsequently involving her in the wedding party because she is a decent person). Also, clearly the mother favours the narcissist brother, so no loss not having her at the wedding, either. The second, because he's standing up for his morals, beliefs and boundaries. How awful would it be to have to see the woman who cheated on you at every single family event with your brother? Clearly the family favoured that brother, as well, and if the daughter can't appreciate how uncomfortable that makes her father and values the brother's attendance more... well, really, do you want/need a relationship with someone like that, daughter or no? And the final story, because he clearly adores his fiancee/wife however she looks, but was eager to give her the bonus so she could feel better in herself. If the mother can't see that, who wants someone like that at the wedding?

      It's the mindset of the generation. I asked my dad about it and he explained to me that iconic figures like Michael Jackson blew up social media with his massive plastic work that changed not only his facial structure but his skin color. Unfortunately being in that kind of spotlight and crowned as "that black guy who used plastic surgery to become white" did him no favors, all the paparazzi were on him and blasted out everything he did in secret, and tbf he also did a number of questionable things in public as well i.e. dangling his baby over a balcony so fans below could get a picture. And that was just one guy, many celebs who were open about having plastic surgery were similarly targeted, though not as extremely. What started out as a big joke about all celebs get plastic because they can't make it as natural surely and steadily grew and became "plastic means you disrespect your natural body" and then "plastic means you're a narcissistic hooker who would rather be pretty than value anything truly beautiful". It was a whole ugly hot mess that carries on to this day.

      Same! And she should get to have that relationship with her uncle and aunt too as well- she's her father's child and is innocent and therefore should be excluded from the beef he has with his brother. His brother never did anything bad to her, only to her father before she was born (most likely) about like 20 years ago or so. If the daughter wants her cousin there, she should get it, and if she wants a relationship with her aunt and uncle, she should also get it. She also should just not invite either of them if it's such a big problem, and only have her cousin there as a flower girl. That would be the best solution to all this drama, for me at least.

      It’s not like it’s a friend he could more easily cut off. It’s his brother that betrayed him. Cheating stings and that hurt may or may not ever leave the person that was cheating on. It leaves a lasting effect, you could have issues trusting because of it, etc. The daughter most likely was told about why she didn’t get to see her uncle so it makes this even worse. You don’t go behind someone’s back when they don’t want anything to do with that person who hurt them. Especially if they don’t want to reconcile.

    OK, so this was a good video because I actually have thoughts on every single story.
    Story 1: not the a-hole. Sounds like his mother has a favorite child, and it is not OP. Sounds like it is well consider your brother’s feelings he has to be the center of attention. It’s not all about you you know on your wedding day. That mother and brother, and go ride into the sunsets together.
    Story 2: while I think not the a-hole for not wanting to pay. I do think that not attending your daughters wedding is going to be something that he will regret. Hopefully your daughter only gets married once. That’s one chance to walk your daughter down the aisle, & share in one of the biggest moments in her life. Something that happened 20+ years ago shouldn’t stop you from that. You don’t have to like your brother or want anything to do with your ex, but if those two were actually still together 20 years now- you and that girl were meant to be. I’m not saying have a relationship with your brother who did that to you because that’s a pretty shitty thing to do but don’t let that ruin father daughter dance moment. That’s just my thoughts.
    Story3: if anyone said what his mother said for any. Reason in that situation there would be some heated words exchanged with a big FU. Oh, does she think burn victims who have skin graphs which is plastic surgery is indecent? It’s not like she had a facelift or a boob job. How can people be so dense? There would need to be major, apologies and kissing butt to have her anywhere near my significant other.

    As the child of a narcissist, I talked to my therapist about the issues with my narcissist parent and they said that I should just accept that this person isn't my parent and that I should grieve the relationship that technically didn't exist. After what felt kind of like grieving a deceased loved one, things were much easier for me emotionally. Once you separate the familiar role from the narcissist, it's easier to deal with them in my personal experience. When the person goes from parent to *just a family member* or *just someone I have to be on good terms with* it's a weight off your shoulders. This is obviously anecdotal and may not work for everyone.

When I cut her off, I felt so relieved and wished I had done it sooner. I'm totally okay with the fact that my mom still stays in touch with her as she was her stepdaughter for many years before our parents divorced.

      This is what I did too. With a lot of inner work.... I now consider that my mother is just the woman who gave birth to me... and I love her because of that. BUT she is not my "Mother". She did not nurture me, encourage me, empower me, accept me, or love me unconditionally.... I did that for myself!! ❤❤❤ There is such freedom in that inner work and realization. It makes dealing with her so much easier because I have no emotional investment in that relationship.

      My therapist: You have to learn to accept the lifestyle the person chooses for themselves. You can't force them to change, even if they could.
      This applies to nearly everything. It doesn't mean you have to keep said person in your life or to what degree, just that you cant make people change, but you can do something about how you choose to handle them. I've distanced myself from some family, cutoff others, and accepted my mom couldn't be a 'normal mom'. other women raised me, my mom kept me alive till i was 13. i do love her, but not in the 'traditional' way, i don't see her as my mother.

      @@slaternapier1640 Yes, Slater. Completely understand you. As a highly sensitive empath I always felt like I never belonged in my family. My mother was not the type of mother I personally needed to grow and thrive. Non-maternal, she often said that if she were young again ... she wouldn't get married or have children. Many years of personal work... I finally realized... no matter how well, or how often I explained myself... it was never going to make a difference to her and thus her behaviour wouldn't change. I did finally accept that she is on her own path that she has chosen, for reasons of her own... even if she is unaware of it. Like you said. I can choose how I act/react, and what I think. I don't have to buy into her BS anymore. I'm sorry your mom passed. Unfortunately I often think... when my mother passes... I'll finally be free. However... I also know that this is not the truth unless I do the inner work to let go of her hold over me.

    My first wedding (well ex-wedding?) my mom was still upset about my refusal to connect with my older brother. He'd been in jail, heavy drug use, and a sex offender prior to this event. She eventually got over it because legally everyone had to accept his presence there and no one did. My sweet mother was so blind towards his issues for far too long. Drama aside, these people who start such drama are like energy vampires that ruin so many important events.

    The first story reminded me of my ex because he proposed to me immediately after finding out that our friends were engaged. I initially laughed, and said no because it felt performative. I explained to him that it felt like he only proposed for attention and that it was wrong to propose at that time. He guilt tripped me for embarrassing him, and got our friends to talk to me. I finally agreed after our engaged friends assured me that it was OK. He soon ended up proving me right about his little stunt because I found out that he had been denying our engagement behind my back and claimed that I was the one who insisted on marrying him which was crazy because I told him that we didn't need to get married if he didn't want to. Tangent over, the guy in the first story reminded me of my ex because his proposal would've been done out of spite. He might not have even been thinking about proposing to her before he found out about his brother's engagement. I may be projecting, but seeing how narcissists act, it doesn't sound too far fetched to me.

    My middle sister is a narcissist! My mother finally accepted this and it was heartbreaking.
    My eldest sister passed in 2019 and now she is quasi-mourning her second child due to what did to her and my father.
    She committed psychological elder abuse by confusing them and making them believe I was stealing because we took her Power of Attorney away. She invited them to her house and had them so upset and confused that they believed her.
    I’m their primary care giver and have stopped my life to help them and have put easily $50,000 into their home, medical care, bills etc.
    When she brought them home, she stayed in the car and was about to make a grand entrance but not before my mother asked where some insurance money was to which I quickly pulled out of an envelope and placed in front of her. Her eyes were the size of saucers because she was told money was being taken out for the screening and pool. My mother realized my sister had been playing them for two days. (So many other horrendous things she did but TMI)
    My father walked outside a screamed at her to leave.
    She was so hellbent to have power she emotionally and psychologically messed up my parents.

(That's not to say that you're boring and always the same--you really only just get better.)

      I can understand how people can feel about the daughter going behind her dad's back but ask yourselves this, how would he have taken it if 4 years ago she told him she wanted to build a relationship with her uncle and his family, because there are cousins involved, children who are alienated from pretty much a huge chunk of their family because of actions made by the adults. The dad is also essentially saying his feelings which I do think are valid should be the rules in which everyone he is related to should follow. Yes, she kept it secret for 4 years but whether she told him now or back then I do not think his attitude towards his own daughter would have been any different. There is a saying, better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
      Taking away his reasons for not wanting to see his brother as he is perfectly valid in feeling however he wishes to feel but the bottom line is those are his feelings and his alone, his daughter is perfectly capable for feeling however she wishes and form relationships with who she wishes to form relationships. It's also his money and he is allowed to spend it as he wishes but if you had already agreed to pay but then take it back I can see how this is a bit of an asshole move towards your daughter. You basically tell her it's okay to hurt anyone around if you feel they hurt you first, not a great lesson in relationships to teach. He has held on to this hurt for how long? He is married and with children yet still feels sore about losing a cheating girlfriend to his brother? Instead of looking at what has hurt him in the past he should only be looking at the blessings in his present, he has a daughter who loves him enough to tell him before the wedding, she could have said nothing but had the respect enough to sit down and talk to her father and if people argue again that she disrespected her father by going behind his back for 4 years, she wasn't sneaking around, she was simply talking to someone and building a relationship with someone, she was not forcing this on her dad who she knew did not like the person she simply just did not tell him.
      His hatred for his brother can remain, he does not have to talk to him but to say if he's at an event he will just not go that says a lot more about OP, he is willing to give up on the blessings life has to offer to simply cradle his grudge. He does not need to get over it but he should not always allow himself to be crushed or pushed away by it. You can walk alongside your grudge and carry it but you should not let it block you because then your life just stops. Don't get over it, just go around it and move on or your just going to burn away any and all paths and bridges that lay beyond it.

      Additional note, this whole loyalty thing that people think should be honoured... 3 words, Romeo and Juilet. I don't remember why the Montagues and Capulets don't like each other but the feud became generational, by expecting that everyone else around you must hate and disassociate themselves from someone you had is trying to start a generational feud. This girl likely just wanted to meet a part of her family that she has heard about but never met, likely she doesn't care all that much for the uncle and his wife but there are cousins, one of which is in the wedding party. His hatred for his brother and his wife was extended to his nieces and nephews. The fact he is divorced as well kind of indicates maybe.... there is a reason women leave him, he sounds like a controlling person who believes it's his way or no way. I have a mother like that, she disowned me because I refused to follow her plan in life for me and by extension she does everything she can to prevent my father from maintaining a relationship with me. We have OP's side but what about the other sides, did he constantly mope on and on to his ex-wife about the girlfriend who cheated on him? He lost her because how do you build a future with someone still caught in the past? Was he even a good boyfriend to that girlfriend who left for his brother? he could have been abusive, controlling (which we see elements of controlling behaviour from his post) she might have felt trapped and his brother rescued her. There is one side being heard here, bottom line is OP needs therapy, he needs to properly process his past and learn to live with what has happened, he can't just ignore it and expect everyone else to cater to his boundaries. His daughter inviting her uncle is not crossing his boundaries, like honestly, you can't be in the same building as this person, says a lot more about your pettiness and cling to hate, like you're not there for your brother, you're not there with your brother, you are there for your daughter and your love (supposedly) for her and support for her love and life and future she is beginning but you can't do that because of your past? Set your hate aside for one day. Your daughter is asking for help for one of the biggest events of her life, help you had made clear she was going to have but now because of what you want of her, you want to dictate who she is and isn't allowed a relationship with or else your support is taken away. Sounds like your love and duty as a father is conditional, sucks to be your kid, wonder what else has been a condition to have you there as a father has been for that girl growing up.

And completely ignored her response, EXACTLY LIKE BULLIES DO. I think it bothers me more too when it's a man bullying a woman because it feels based in believing she's an easy target to push around and i wish she had someone with her to help stand up to him in that moment.

      ​​​@@saltydog7038 the brother isn't obligated to stay connected to people who betrayed him. Just because it was 25yrs ago, doesn't mean he has to bend the knee to the family's whims. The minute the girlfriend and brother started cheating, the brothers' relationship was over. It's not funny or cute to do this to someone who's supposed to be family. That one moment probably did mess up how he views relationships, which could be a contributing factor to his failed marriage. However, though he does need help, he does not need to be around people who hurt him and that probably did take time for him to heal from. And for the entire family to just side with the the brother like that, that just shows that either a) they don't know the real story and think the father is just being petty or b) they never cared for the father to begin with and/or just favored the other brother more (and when that happens, the favorite can do whatever they want without consequences or without fear of being alienated for being a shitty person). He has a right to not have to see his brother, just like the daughter has a right to have a relationship with her uncle. What it comes down to for her is who's more important to her to have there at her wedding? I'm sure the dad would actually hate to miss his daughters wedding, but he does not have to break his own boundary he's had since cutting ties with his brother. It'd be awfully nice of him to do, sure, but again, he's not obligated to do so.

    The one with the dad not paying for the wedding, I agree with him in this case. At first I thought well it’s been 20 years but they both moved on and married other women and had kids and such, so maybe he should let it go for that one day. Then they said the brother married that ex and she’d be there and that totally changed everything. No way should he have to deal with being with his cheating ex and the brother that betrayed him. I honestly can’t believe the daughter is not on his side. If it were my dad, I would totally be behind him in this matter.

    The last one about the plastic surgery made me want to flip a table. I've had plastic surgery twice. Like Sarah, it was corrective surgery.
    I was born with a lazy eye. While I don't really have much vision in the eye, my family had it corrected when I was very young.
    Fast forward to when I was a high school senior, I broke my nose very badly. Once again, it was corrected because...yanno...being able to breathe properly is a thing.
    If it is immoral to fix things that we perceive as 'broken', why else do we do things like setting a broken arm, having surgery to remove a gallbladder, or any other surgery?

    I do agree that the guy having his brother cheat with his girlfriend was the ultimate betrayal...and even if several decades had passed, it was still an emotional thing. No judgement on anyone's decisions in a situation like this but I also feel like some things should just be let go of. He doesn't need to be close with his brother again or anything like that, sure keep a distance. But I think sometimes situations like this are very unhealthy mentally if we don't just find a way to let go of it. I know that if I was with a man who was still that upset over something from 20 years ago involving a woman, I would be wary of him. To me, it would feel strange that his focus was still on that. I know the brother thing makes it 10 times worse, but just harping on it and letting so much current day drama creep in over it is so unhealthy. Now his relationship with his daughter is strained too. I think he can still set boundaries and keep his brother at a distance, while also letting go somewhat and focusing on other family and those who are in his life now.

But in my case, it was curious it’s about grandparents who abandoned my mom, I would never have invited them. While the other brother was wrong, too hold onto this for so long and insist on your brother being cut out of the families lives is a lot. And let’s also notice, the father is divorced. I wonder how his relationships are with other people.

    As someone who has had to cut toxic people out of my life, I can attest that it's so much harder when it's kin. My stepfather turned out to be a complete toxic person who would mentally berate anybody who didn't think exactly like him, then try to say that he always supported my decisions. Nope, sorry, cut out without hesitation. My older brother, who turned out to be a complete narcissist was a helluva lot harder to do and took many more years. It wasn't until he berated me for forgetting Mother's Day (I'm horrible with dates, don't pay attention to calendars) before the day was even over (I still sent the message to my mom before the day was over, she didn't care what time I sent it) that I realized it was time to sever ties. Probably the best decision of my life.

    My husband has a narcissistic, manipulative brother who is 15 and 13 years younger than he and his sister and the entire family dances to his tune. My husband and I met and married in our late 50’s. My husband wanted to wear a tux and asked his brother to be best man. His brother agreed and when we went to the tux shop with him, he already informed us that he had picked out the one he wanted and chose the color of the tie. My husband was upset, feeling that he should be able to have first pick, but I told him, it was fine, we can find one that works best for him, which we did. The brother was arguing with the shop because he refused the advice on the size and I shrugged. I knew that he would be in an ill-fitting tux and didn’t care. The ONLY thing that my husband asked was for his brother give a speech. His brother did not do that, nor did he sign the marriage certificate. Their dad officiated as he is an ordained minister. In the last 8 years my husband and his dad have both realized that they don’t have to accept the narcissist’s terms and realize that they can accept or reject his demands when he is being manipulativev. My husband accepts that his brother is only concerned about himself and is happier when he limits his time with him. They would get together and spend time to watch a game but my husband would always be so upset when he got home, I just pointed out that his brother wasn’t going to change and that one can only change your own reaction and behavior with that type of people. They make plans to meet at a restaurant of his brother’s choice, at a time his brother chooses, but always arrives 30-45 minutes or more late. The brother wants a drink and appetizers, but you can’t order the main course even if one requests the server to hold off submitting the order. The brother flies into a rage if you suggest that. While ordering, he tells you what you should order and criticizes you if you choose differently. The entire ordeal is not enjoyable and compromise is not in the brother’s life for any shared experience. The sister and her husband get frustrated but continue to meet his demands. We once waited 45 minutes in the heat in a Wal-mart parking lot (dictated by the brother)because the brother refused to tell us where we were going to eat. I told my husband to call his brother and cancel and we could eat somewhere on our own. I don’t dislike his brother, but I don’t have to subject myself to ridiculous demands. Once my husband took a step back and realized that he wouldn’t have friends who treat him like this, he was able to realize that it wasn’t friendship as much as control.

      @@user-mw8oo1sl6t I called him out once for his behavior in front of the family and he avoids me ever since. The brother and his dad lived 3 hours away and the sister lived 3 hours away in a distant city. The brother was bringing dad to the sister’s house and we were bringing dad home with us. The brother had been given tickets to a basketball game in our city and had planned on coming to our city and the 4 of us attend. He said that he changed his mind and wasn’t going to go but that we still could attend. The tickets? Oh, he hadn’t brought them. Nobody said anything. I then stated the obvious and said how could we go without the tickets? The look on his face as he was trying to process being called out and coming up with an answer that would be civil was priceless. I broke the family rule by never mentioning the elephant in the room. Several months after that his brother made arrangements for a family get together and my husband was painting a room for a friend and wanted a quick shower but would be 5-10 minutes late so he called to let him know. He had him on speakerphone and his brother started cursing him out and told him ‘I don’t need no effing brother’. I took the phone and told him that was inappropriate and I wasn’t going to allow him to speak to him that way and his response was ‘I don’t have to talk to you.’ I just said, no you don’t and promptly hung up. Their dad was with us so he would have missed out on the planned outing. I had previously chosen not to go since supposedly it was for a local school football game. My husband went as is splattered in paint and they made it exactly on time but his brother said that my husband ruined it and decided that they would go to a bar instead. My FIL is a pastor who had never been to a bar and doesn’t drink so was a totally inappropriate place. The sister and her husband were there and they and the brother enjoyed themselves. My FIL later told me he was uncomfortable the entire time I and I shared the encounter and it was punishment because he knew my husband would be upset by it but wouldn’t say anything to him directly. I think that the 2 of them finally realized that he had no consideration for their feelings and that they don’t have to be victims. I know that the brother resents me but it doesn’t bother me because I don’t have to deal with him so consider it a win. My husband has learned to set limits and does miss spending time with him but understands that his brother enjoyed the manipulation more than the time together. My SIL complains about the behavior and I said that she has a choice, but she doesn’t want to upset the brother. One of her daughters is the same way so always is trying to please them both. Luckily, they all live 3 hours away so can remain detached. I really don’t have much patience and as I told my husband that I had gotten fine without his brother for 57 years at the time, that I was sure to get along without him. It’s his brother’s choice to avoid me and once the family was gathering at my house and he called my BIL from outside and asked him to be out front because he wouldn’t come inside. I guess he expected everyone to stand next to his car the entire evening. I didn’t comment and didn’t do anything because I just don’t care. Come inside or not, not my problem and only my BIL went outside. My non reaction allowed everyone else to do the same, so the brother finally decided to come inside since he didn’t get his audience.

Several years later I was invited to a Girl's spa weekend in Napa Valley by some new friends & I was so excited to go until I found out it was a naked spa. This typically wouldn't bother me & even I was surprised by how upset I became by the realization that others were going to see me. I had been in denial about how much this had been affecting my self esteem & confidence.

My brother can be a bit dense in social situations and my family can occasionally take teasing just that little bit too far. Should I preempt any of that? She had a bilateral cleft, so I keep hoping that maybe, since it is symmetrical, people will just generally think her nose is a little flat and not tease her. I don't know. I guess I'd just love some advice if you have any!

      I mean I don’t really understand the point that she didn’t tell her father, because as you acknowledged, she knew what she was doing. The problem wasn’t the secret relationship she had built with him, as it’s more than clear that telling her father would not have gone over well, but that she broke a boundary by inviting him to a place knowing her father would be there. That said, I did see a comment on the post, that said something along the lines of “sure, he stole your gf, but do you want him to steal your daughter now too? Your grandchildren? If not, then you would suck it up for a day.” And I can’t help but agree with it. It’s not about him forgiving his brother, but him putting aside his resentment to make his daughter happy on what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, and he wasn’t able to do that. And that’s not to say the daughter did nothing wrong, but just because he has the right to feel the way he does doesn’t mean he’s making a good choice, not if he values his daughter and their relationship.
