Woman on Vacation Says a Family Was Offended She Was Drinking and Made ‘Passive-Aggressive Comments' About Her Solo Travel
A woman shared on Reddit that while she was on a solo vacation in Tenerife, she was seated at a table with a disapproving family She said the mother did not want her three children exposed "to women drinking alcohol" The family told the waiter that the Reddit user was underage and had her drink taken away. She then proceeded to order more drinks and now wonders if that was wrongA woman enjoying a solo vacation says she had an off-putting encounter with a disapproving family. The woman shared her story on Reddit's 'Am I the A------' forum, beginning by explaining that she's currently on a solo trip in Tenerife in the Canary Islands. She said she chose an all-inclusive hotel "to save having to look for places to eat by myself." "The hotel has club-style seating, meaning that all tables are tables of 8 and people get sat together — apparently it's to encourage a sense of community and conversation," the OP (original poster) noted. She went on to explain that the previous night, she was seated first at a table, 'and had a glass of wine.' A family of five — two adults and three children — was then seated at the same table, and the dynamic quickly grew uncomfortable. 'The mother turned to me and said, 'We do not wish to expose our children to women drinking alcohol,' " the OP recalled. "I smiled and said perhaps they should ask to move tables if it was an issue, but I would be drinking the wine," the OP recalled of her response. "They noticed I was on my own and made passive-aggressive comments about this." At one point during the meal, the OP got up to get more food — and found a surprise when she returned to the table. 'The wine had disappeared," she wrote. "A waiter came over and asked to see my wrist band (for the all-inclusive) and said the family had told them I was underage and must have sneaked away from my parents. He was very apologetic and returned with a fresh glass of wine just as the family came back with their food.' Seemingly to make a statement, the OP asked the waiter to bring her "a full bottle along with a couple of shots of vodka." When she proceeded to drink the shots, the family "stormed out of the restaurant." After reflecting on the incident, the OP now wonders if she was wrong to order all the alcohol to the table. Overwhelmingly, readers sided with the OP, pointing out that she simply wanted to enjoy her drink while on vacation and was instead judged by the mother. 'Don't take your kids to places where alcohol is served,' one person wrote in a comment which was upvoted 30,000 times. Another said: "Expecting people to cater to your preferences in a public space is actual insanity. 'My rights don't end where your discomfort begins.'

Others questioned why the family objected solely because she was a woman. 'It's just WOMEN drinking alcohol. What the heck is that about? It's clearly not an issue with alcohol as much as it is with women. Sheesh,' one reader wrote. Read the original article on People

He detailed that there was yet another fight between his parents recently, and he lost his cool. 'I just snapped. I came out of my room and yelled at both of them to shut up.

I bought my in-laws novelty Christmas presents and their reaction made me file for a divorce
A Reddit user has revealed how her choice of Christmas presents for her in-laws resulted in her divorcing her soon-to-be ex-husband. Content creator Tatty Lomas, from Staffordshire, took to TikTok to share a story of another woman's experience, which was originally shared on Reddit's AITA forum. Tatty retold the story from the beginning and explained that the anonymous Reddit user wed her husband Steve in 2018, and that right from the get-go, his family never took a liking to her. 'His family literally hated me from day one,' said Tatty while explaining the post by the Reddit user, adding, 'The first time I ever met them, I took a little cake over, and later on in the evening, I found the cake in the bin.' 'They would also insult me. They would call me a gold digger because, at the time, I was out of work because I had just been made redundant, and my husband was an owner of a business that was successful.' 'When we were getting married, his family basically forced me to sign a prenup, and I was like, 'Well, if it's going to make things easier, I have absolutely no issue doing that at all, I'm not with this man for money so, let's do it'.' However, the Reddit user said Steve's business ended up 'tanking it' during the pandemic, which, in turn, made her the breadwinner. 'Because of this, Steve spiralled into a deep depression, and he wanted us to move closer to his family, so we'd have more of a support network.' While she didn't particularly want to move closer to Steve's family, she settled on making the move to help her husband. Tatty continued, 'Now, it's coming up to the holiday season, he is barely making any money, which means that I am responsible for buying all the gifts [for his family]. 'I was going out of my way to get some thoughtful, borderline expensive gifts because these people hated me, I was giving them no reason to not like me any further.' However, things took a turn when Steve's family requested that she didn't come to Christmas dinner. Tatty explained that Steve asked the Reddit user to miss Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner because his family said she 'ruins the vibe'. 'Steve saw absolutely no issues with going without me. So, he didn't want me there, not a problem. I decided I was going to return all the gifts, and I used the money in the returns to get a deposit down on my own apartment. 'But I still wanted them to have Christmas gifts, so I just gave them like novelty socks, a hot water bottle, things like that.' Tatty continued, 'I wrapped them all, gave them to Steve, and sent him on his way to his family's house, not telling them what they were inside.' But the presents proved to be a disappointment for Steve's family, Tatty explained, 'He came home from Christmas dinner furious with me. He said that I had humiliated him.' @tattylomas Replying to @rachelcain63 What do you think?👀 Products used: @SimpleSkincareUK Micellar Water #storytime #makeupstorytime ♬ original sound - Tatty. 'I was like, 'Why would I spend my hard-earned money on people that don't even want me there for Christmas,' and last week I served this man with divorce papers. 'Thanks to that precious prenup that his family made me sign, I am completely protected, because everything is under my name. 'This man has no savings, no alimony, no healthcare, and do you know what, that's not my problem anymore. 'His family are obviously not on my side; they think that I should have supported him and given him something. So, what do you think? Should I have helped?' Reddit users took to the comment section to share their thoughts on whether she should help her soon-to-be ex-husband. One said, 'You were treated horribly. Good riddance.' A second wrote, 'They disrespected you for years, and your husband let them. You owe them nothing, and your response was completely justified. Good on you for protecting yourself and moving on.' Another added, 'You put up with them and lot longer than I could have. The cake incident alone (and more specifically, his non-response to it) would have had me out.' A fourth wrote, 'Well played. To hell with him and his family, you deserve so much better.' 'Congratulations on getting your self-respect back and dumping your rotten ex and his nasty family,' said a fifth. It comes after experts warned against a common communication habit that can ultimately destroy a relationship. 'Dry begging', a term that has been coined by therapists, is a form of passive-aggressive communication whereby a person doesn't adequately explain what they need or want. Examples include a partner saying something like 'I wish I had a boyfriend who takes me out for dinner', rather than directly asking their boyfriend to treat them more often. In some cases, they might say nothing at all; but will make their partner aware they have done something wrong by sulking or even giving the silent treatment. As the term becomes more widely known, experts have warned that 'dry begging' is not a healthy form of communication - and can even indicate narcissism. After a discussion about dry begging was posted on Reddit, people were surprised to learn that there was a term for this type of behaviour - which many on the receiving end thought was normal. What's more, it could indicate that they're narcissistic - and, worse still, it could spell the end of your relationship. As one Reddit user said in a subreddit called 'AbuseInterrupted', writing beneath a post taken from a YouTube video on dry begging by counsellor Darren F Magee, 'When this video came across my YouTube feed a few days ago, my reaction was 'Wait, there's a word for that?'' As with exaggerated sighing or sulking, dry begging could be an attempt to provoke, for example, someone wants their partner to inquire after them and ask what is wrong. And, if a person does end up responding in such a way, they may in turn take it as an opportunity to lash out or guilt trip you. 'Dry begging is when someone indirectly asks for something. There's a need there, but they're not stating it clearly,' US-based therapist Aerial Cetnar told HuffPost. It may be common - dry begging reportedly crops up in many romantic relationships - but it can spell disaster. Relationship therapist Hope Kelaher told Brides: 'It's the opposite of healthy intimacy.'

Man who allegedly killed wife, torched in-laws' vehicles in Tangkak remanded
TANGKAK, June 4 — The man who slashed his wife to death in Bukit Gambir last Monday has been remanded for seven days from today to facilitate further investigations. The remand order was issued by Magistrate Lee Kim Kiat for the investigations to be carried out under Section 320 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing grievous hurt and Section 435 of the same Code for mischief by fire. According to Tangkak Police District chief Supt Roslan Mohd Talib, the man was initially apprehended for allegedly torching a car and a motorcycle at his mother-in-law's house. He said that during interrogation, the suspect appeared confused and told them that his wife was missing. 'A team of policemen went to his house to investigate. That was when they found his wife, lifeless on the floor of the living room, covered with a blanket and a knife not far from the body,' he told Bernama when contacted. Roslan said the police believed that family conflict was the motive behind the two incidents. Initial investigation also revealed that the 33-year-old suspect had a previous record related to a crime of mischief, he added. Meanwhile, the suspect's mother-in-law, when met at her house in Durian Chondong, Muar, said the last time she saw her daughter was just from afar, three days ago, when she went to pick up a bag of rice that the couple bought for her from Thailand. 'He (the suspect) has not spoken to me for quite some time and does not allow my daughter to see her parents, her siblings or any of our relatives. He always tells us to stay away,' the 63-year-old mother said. The woman said she always had the feeling that something bad was going to happen to her daughter, and true enough, the suspect came to her house late on the night of the incident, trying to set fire to her house. 'Late that night, he came to our place, torched our car and motorcycle. If we were awakened just a minute late, my family, my grandchildren and I would have perished in that fire,' she said, adding that her daughter, 34, married the man three years ago. Although it is hard to cope with the loss of her daughter, the woman said she still wants justice to be served. — Bernama
