aita for uninviting my stepdad

Be a man!!!. Your husband shouldn't have to deal with them ever again and you don't want that toxic masculinity around your future kids. These men are absolute Neanderthals! Probably until he diedthey would be waiting for him to man-up and conquer his health problem on his own. NTA - I'd tell Mom she'd better stfu and stop enabling or else she's going to be uninvited too. ESH minus your Fianc who should gtfo to be honest. Water boarding? Seriously consider if they're going to do this to your son, and if you want this energy in your life. My husbands tires would cost 500-600 per tire, so we would be out 2000 at least if we had issues with all 4 at the same time. not let this ruin my relationship with my family. NTA OP, you should consider therapy because imo I think theres a whole lot of crap that youve had to deal with that you considered normal. Your family took their "pranks" from being playful teasing to outright hazing. Exactly. When you agree to be somebodys partner until their last day you need to have their back when others mess with them. You're siblings are just pissed because now they'll be targeted. They are nothing but bullies. I would not let them come to my wedding, and I would cut those awful people out of my life. Keep asking why. The only excuse is that she has been raised in this toxic environment and does not realise how bad it is. See our ~~*Best Of*~~ "Most Controversial" at /r/AITAFiltered! This is awful behaviour. I know I'd be done after the tire slashing incident. I think this is more of a fuck with me and find out situation. Or tell Tims's sons their father is "soft" and a wimp? NTA. I will also add that, even if it doesnt work out with Tim. I would have been outta there after being forced to play chess. NTA depending on how severe his asthma is then no inhaler = death. He needs to ends this before these monsters end up murdering him. Was thinking the same. He is young, maybe he will learn in time that the company we keep is, to some extent, an indicator of who we are. I'm on the hope the stepdad pulls his money out of her wedding train too. Hey, OP - imagine your wedding reception. Even if they apologize, this oversized kids need to understand there are consequences to their action, even if they are jOkEs. For no reason. Throw the whole family away and start over. Also, ask them in case of your fiancs asthma getting worse medically that he needed to be rushed to hospital which off them would be manly enough to cover all the bills and charges. Her future husband should have joined in and told OPs family hes no longer participating in their ridiculous tests. Agreed. In what world is hiding critical medication and slashing tires "pranks"? All of them can go fuck themselves. But you and your fiance know it could have easily been fatal. I was his tail as a child and went with him everywhere, people knew me as the apple of his eye. They just sound like a bunch of assholes!! this type of toxic masculinity is why men die so much more often from accidents and suicide. Marrying him is your decision, not theirs. I suggest you tell them that you understand that they're intimidated by someone with a real education and who idea of fun isn't dumb jock humour but that you moved beyond such immature behaviour and they're out of your life until they apologise to TIM and if they ever "prank" him again they out forever. My brother would probably fight someone over slashing his tires. Sounds like you have a choice to make. The fact that Tim tolerated their bullying for so long without dumping you or calling the cops was awful. They know when they have power and they are exploiting it as much as possible to make him miserable. What if they show up trying to get revenge or prank him ruining your special day together (which we all know they would). I wouldve called it quits way before the inhaler incident. Feeling like your body is not getting enough oxygen is a scary ass experience, one that I would never wish on anyone. All they are doing is trying to determine if your fianc holds values like them or not. NTA. I had my first asthma attack when I was 5, and I don't know when this whole "test" thing starts in your family, but it has the potential to kill your future kids. Yes but then he wouldn't seem MANLY to them and wouldn't have PROVEN himself if he couldn't go fix ALL 4 tires BY HIMSELF. You joke, but men let their toxic/insecure masculinity come between them and lifesaving healthcare. NTA. They dont deserve to be at the wedding. And even then, if someone gets seriously freaked out (as opposed to just startled), you apologize and never do it again. NTA. Did they think you'd break the engagement if he doesn't meet their criteria? They don't know the severity of his condition and could have KILLED HIM. My guess is the OP and her mother have had this done to them all their life because the dad is most likely an abuser. These people are sick, and they stay in a pack to reinforce each others sickness. I can't imagine an inhaler being too much different, depending on the severity of the asthma. You are NTA unless you reinvite them. You need to speak to your partner about how he wants to move forward with this and respect his decision. Also tell your mom you didn't ruin the relationship, they did with their attitude and nobody else gets a say, your decision is final and they have to be "man enough" to accept the consequence of their childish actions. Things like tattle tail and what not is a typical response from bullies and reading all this has bullies written all over it. Do not invite these toxic men. She's not bordering on it, she's well over the border. How could one write this and not think they were the asshole. Next time they try to manipulate you into downplaying their behavior by holding their respect for Tim at ransom, tell them they will lose your respect and see how much they care about it, my guess is they won't. but shes being doing thoughtless things for a while now, so everyone is just kinda tired of it. But I had an attack, not that long ago, that landed me in the hospital overnight. Your cousin, brother, uncle and dad are TA for what they have done. You don't need them at your wedding and honestly? Organized bullying isn't funny or a prank. I wonder how long they would have hid the inhaler if he started having an emergency. AHs are still AHs. yes this..I have asthma and have had several severe asthma attacks that if I didnt have an inhaler on hand I probably wouldn't be here typing this. They literally admitted to attempted murder, I mean the husband could always put a stop to those challenges but the fact that they hid the inhaler is unforgivable. You dont need any of them in your life. Yeah, I would never ever trust my kids for a single second with a grandparent who verbally harassed me, slashed my tires, and tried to steal medical equipment that kept me from suffocating to death. That wasn't a prank. This doesn't even seem like bullying this seems like they're legit trying to kill himslashing his tyres? The critical thing here is that OP HAS learned that this behavior isn't ok. Good job, OP, for defending your (edit: future) spouse against the abusive men in your family. Have someone at the door of your wedding venue ready to kick them off the property. I hope he realizes that unless you stand up for him and put your dumb ass family in their place - he should move on. These are not funny pranks, these are "how much will you take?" Thats it. You suck too btw. Lord knows what they will pull on any kids you have. They want to live like Neanderthals they can do it elsewhere, not at your wedding. Then turn it around on us like hes the victim. NAH But honestly you have to have a talk with her and explain what youre feeling. Talk with Tim about it and ask about his genuine opinion. I've had male coworkers of a certain age come to work with unrelenting chest pain. This is NOT pranking its bullying pure and simple. These aren't "tests", this is your family being major fucking AHs. She still goes all out. Its a messy situation and it will most likely be a rocky marriage as your family set the tone for it with their nonsense trying to test your partners manliness. My dad was an engineer, but he recognized early on that my now-husband was not a 'doer' in terms of being super physical and labor and all that. Don't just uninvite these people from your wedding; uninvite them from your and your fianc's lives. Also- are they actually sorry for what they did? NTA. Those would be considered crimes if the police were called. NTA it's not normal. Imagine a child with asthma or a food allergy where they think it's all made up and the kid is just being "soft". Tim has to proof himself to nobody except maybe you and since you choose him I assume he's proven himself. Or messes with someones health as a prank? She's growing as a person and learning how to step up for her new family. I would say soft YTA for letting it go so long. Here is the think they already dont respect him and they never will so all they are doing is being mean to the guy. This is definitely your hill to die on. in addition to all of this also remember that there is a reason why married men live longer and the "nagging" wife who insists that they go see a doctor is a huge part of why. i cant imagine she stayed silent after the tire slashing incident, but these guys dont seem like the type of men to give up their antics so easily. You are NTA for sticking up for your fiance, but you will be if you let them into your wedding and don't go low/no contact. It isn't easy to do; it isn't easy to learn when to do it. Exactly! The men in your family are among the worst types of people and I feel terrible that your fianc had to endure that much before it was finally stopped. Theyre clearly boys, not men. Hiding inhaler is not a joke and slashing his car tires, i assume they paid money to get things right? At what point during his asthma attack would they be able to tell if he was being soft or if it was real? They do realize you could charge them for the majority of these pranks (read: crimes), right? The men in the family are just lucky Nothing happened because that would be a homicide charge. I sent Dean and Kevin invitations but once they found out that our stepdad was going to be there, they said they might not come. This enraged him, we once again had a blowout argument and he called me his greatest disappointment. Throw away your family for Tim's sake. Pranks with medical conditions are never funny. A friend of mine DIED from an asthma attack!!! Ummm he could have died, brain issues due to no oxygen I'm not a Dr. Who thought it was a great idea for an asthmatic person to go on a 3 day trip with 4 individuals who had already slashed his tires to "see what type of man he is"? NTA. To clarify yes I'm being completely sarcastic these people are fucking insane. What type of relationship does your dad have with your siblings? Since he buys high quality tires, that'd have been an immediate vandalism report. OP and little Timmy should have pranked them back by play acting he had. I would not have put up with them especially when they slashed my tires. Tires aren't free. Hey also OP. Dad and his cronies are all abusive assholes. These arent pranks. Your poor fianc has been suffering. Graduation day is about you, your hard work and all you've accomplished. It's not funny, it's messed up. Break the cycle of toxic behaviour so your kids dont have to live in constant fear of their family. NTA, in my opinion you're getting a pretty good deal, cutting one toxic member of your family out and a few enablers are going with them. OPyes, this is the hill you are willing to die on. Contest mode is 1.5 hours long on this post. But the question is if she's the AH for uninviting them to the wedding, so I guess she's off the hook for that. Do not let mum, brother and friends tell you otherwise. Taking someone's enhaler can kill them. OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole: I might be ta because I'm depriving my male relatives of a chance to attend a once in a life event even though they said they were sorry. Gross. A set of new tires will easily run you $600-$800, that is a very expensive prank and I absolutely would have taken them to small claims court over it. If you listen to your mom and re-invite them, you don't deserve your fiance. I feel bad for your whole situation. I thought slashing tyres was a crime? He would be better off using the money to wipe his ass than spend it on her, Lol she let him pay the wedding and then invites him lol I hope stepdad cuts her out too, How directly the fare there so many NTA and ESH?`, Let me guess, most have some variation of "It's YOUR wedding!!!!". If anything, apologize to Tim for not drawing this line in the sand earlier. I even got ignored by her extended family for a year because, when visiting their trailer for a weekend, I waited for instruction instead of just "jumping in and doing it" when they were rebuilding docks, something I'd never experienced before. You know their bullying will only get worse with you standing up for him. The stepfather cared for her enough to pay for her wedding, take on a fatherly role, be there for her. I assumed that was a duh kind of question. They are bullies who played with the health of your fiancee! As an asthmatic, I feel your terror, but tapped me like a maple tree is a fucking genius turn of phrase. NTA. You should have given your dad and brother some kind of excuse for why Tim couldnt go camping. Assholes do this. Starting a married life together is supposed to be a wonderful thing, it's not worth letting it get soured by people who's opinions don't even matter like yours does. Withholding an inhaler? Things only got crazier when my dad and his wife eloped behind everyones backs and i found out about it on Facebook and then for years now has told me that its my fault they didnt have a wedding. I was sitting down looking at daddy-daughter dance songs when I got the urge to just text and confirm he will be able to make it to my wedding. Demands were never gonna do shit, actions were. Id take this opportunity to get them out of your life permanently. This is hazing. I think OP should have shut this nonsense down before the inhaler "prank" ever happened, and I'm almost inclined to consider her the AH for that reason alone. What would they have done if he got sick or died? If someone slashed my tires they are paying or i am calling the police.the men in your family are immature bullies. Create this boundary now. NTA all the way. Honestly.. ESH except for your fianc because you let them abuse him for so long. Cant you do the same for him? Ask your dad how he feels about the respect that you and Tim have lost for him as a human being?? And really if they do anything else criminal Id consider reporting them. He also gets occasional chest pain. These are no pranks, this is bullying. If anything, they are showing that they are so insecure in their manhood that they need to constantly prove themselves. Slashing tires? Almost 4 years later and I still wish I didn't. It's theft. Honestly I would elope and not tell them and start getting closer with his family and make distance with your family. If YOU don't drive a wedge between you and your family over this, what kind of partner would you be? NTA these are not pranks, this is just immature and terrible behavior. Especially with your dad, who will apologize but will lose respect for him. Your wedding day will be one big joke to them. If not, then OP is out of family members that shouldn't be near them anyways. I have asthma and if someone, anyone, took my inhaler as a joke and hid it, Id cut them off so fast their ancestors would shiver. Oh Im sure they wanted to know about whether he would enforce gender inequality and support the patriarchy. They disrespected the college boy. They are cruel people who have been bullying your fianc, these things are not pranks. People really act like this? Im a woman, but it my now-husbands family had treated me even 10% this badly, literally committed crimes against me they could be charged with criminally, I would not have continued dating him, much less married into his family. If I was their SO I wouldnt have stayed after that. By the time the ambulance got to me they said my skin was super grey and if my blood oxygen level dropped any lower I I most likely would have died. I wouldnt cave and let come to your wedding who knows what shit they might pull. They have it, but it burns everyone around them. I hated every bit of it. NTA, the men in your family are full blown psychopaths. He didn't drive a wedge, they did! Id make a police report and go no contact. The men in your life are toxic. After she hung up I asked my fiance if I made the wrong decision and je said it's my wedding and I get to decide eventually but I knew he said that because he's biased. Thats not an excuse, honestly. He wants to keep the peace and impress your family because he sees how much it means to you. I mentioned this in another comment below but I had to get all my tires replaced last October right before I went on vacation and that cost ran over 600. My in laws are great, but that's not something I'd sign up for unless I felt like my wife really wanted me to go for some reason. And they think they are adults. These stopped being pranks before they started. Im not speaking from hyperbole here. For me, the slashed tires would be the moment where I call the police. I was so mad at the timing of that because I couldn't do nearly as much as I wanted to on that trip because of that unexpected expense. Perfect response, thisnis what I would say. Press J to jump to the feed. Over a prank? NTA, I have asthma and that's no joke. It was a blast. shes 16 and knows what shes doing, but i could be overreacting. They could have killed him by hiding his inhaler. Exactly that. the stuff in the first paragraph was bullying but hiding his inhaler? Or are they the kind of people who will just keep being assholes? Ugh. NTA you protect your husband. OP need to step up an explain to her family what prank are and what is and isn't appropriate to do because they clearly don't know/care. If my partners familt slashed my tirrs as a "test" I would have RUN from you and your toxic family! Who carries his weight in the relationship and household? It's no joke and can be severely deadly. The "men" in your family are just a bunch of bullies. This wasn't a prank. Before or after he passed out/died? NTA. I absolutely hate when doctors don't warn you about a scary possibility like that. Your fiance could press charges! Your family is horrible. NTA and personally I'd go no contact. Because frankly, If I was your fianc, stealing the inhaler would have been my breaking point and I would have called off the wedding completely.
