As long as there's no conduct rules against it.... go ahead? I don't see why taking a deal is a problem?

Also I wonder, with OP being cagey and otherwise not seeming to care about her ex, if it was more along the lines of "revealing details about relationships with students".

(Like if it were actually false accusations I would think this would be noted instead of concentrating on if he was "wrong" for having done it.)

This is one of those things where the context of the people in the chat and also the poster matter a whole lot. Like, in normal circumstances, with most of my friends, that'd just be a funny joke. But I've known enough people that are Weird about things that I could also see it being one of those underhanded "Haha but really I'm sad I don't get to see boobies anymore :( " things.

I feel like "Say bye-bye to the twins" is inviting these sorts of comments (Specifically RIP boobies, not that it's open season on being a mysogynistic rear end in a top hat, to be clear), but the aftermath doesn't really mention if the victim here is bothered or not, but that "people are offended". Again too much missing. Prolly NTA though.

I went through something similar by proxy recently.

Friend of S/O is getting married there are 4 girls all been best friends for years (8+). Friend that’s getting married asks 2 of the 3 to be bridesmaids and ditched the 3rd and picked someone she knows from the gym instead lol.

Super cold because the 3rd friend is so nice and obviously didn’t say anything but was definitely upset.

That was cold too.

Also there was no reason why she couldn’t have made her a bridesmaid because the groom has like 5 people up there with him lol.

I accidentally told two people they were my best man at my wedding and I had to retract one of them (I had meant groomsman for one and said the wrong thing). It was awkward.

I do know a bit about his past marriage, granted from his side only. They were married for 6 years, but he said within the first 2 years things clearly weren't working so they decided to open the marriage up and date other people. She filed for divorce because she had been with a steady boyfriend for a while and decided she wanted to start a family with this new guy. She's remarried and pregnant now.

She also claims to be "mid 30s" and he's "40 on the nose" but I kinda don't really believe that (I'd believe 29/42).

This kind of reminds me a bit of the guys in japan who marry some anime character then go and make posts at people who post/draw lewds describing how they're married now and to please stop posting lewds of their wife. The concept of mermaids or w/e doesn't exclusively belong to this lady; but there's enough other red flags that maaaaybe you should run for the hills anyway.

I kinda agree with this? The parents seem lovely, but they did what so many people recommend; give the child up. The kid being passive aggressive and stirring poo poo up is dumb, along with the "I refuse to accept this as my fault" despite the drama being their direct result. Obviously the parents should've handled it better, but they don't owe anything to the kid.

IDK why you would force the issue when your parents reaffirmed they don't want you 18 years later? There's a reason adoption records are usually sealed. If birth dad and mom were seeking the kid out after 18 years the thread would likely feel different.

She got really excited about the call and wanted to talk to her and meet her. She knows that my grandma has dementia and has made racist comments as a result. ... Her dementia has caused her to regress to her childhood and as a result, she spews a lot of racism.

My girlfriend knows all this already. I warned her again that my grandma has no control over this and if she regressed as I was speaking to her and saw my girlfriend, something would be said. My girlfriend accepted this and told me repeatedly not to worry, and that she wouldn't be offended.

I took her word for it and let her on the call.

He clearly warned her as much as he felt he should.

Dementia doesn't make you 'regress to your childhood.' It inhibits memory, emotional regulation, and inhibition control. He's naive if he thinks his racist grandmother miraculously recovered from being a bigot rather than just learning when to not say out loud what she is thinking.

Yeah I guess this makes the most sense. Last I checked "will have their own room" is one of the first gates in the adoption process and I was taking this too literally vs. "loving uncle Jim is having his kid taken away and if we don't take her she'll be in the system" type of thing which seems a lot more likely. That would also square with the parents just wanting assface here to help her out cause they probably suddenly wanted a teenage girl as much as he wanted a sister.

You would think at 15 they would explain this kind of poo poo though; and he wouldn't be a misanthropic rear end. But who knows.

My own biases and the fact that they seem to say 'sister' like a billion times makes me think this is part of the problem they have with her. You're right though reddit seems 50/50 and op literally never clarifies.

Also wedding OP is just mad that she won't wear 17 petticoats and cover her hair when entering the church like the rest of his family.
