2024-11-26 19:05:35 +0000 UTCI agree with you. Depends on the relationship. If my mom passed & my sis in law or close best friend went to a concert I wouldn’t say those things but I’d be hurt. It all depends on circumstances. & I feel like details are missing. Like I don’t think they’re the a . Hole but I would be offended but I wouldn’t say those things to them I just think the sis in law is hurt and grieving idk . None are a.holes but I feel so bad for o.p … also sorry 4 ur loss. Wishing much love

2024-11-26 08:04:03 +0000 UTCAlso I am saying this as a huge Taylor swift fan and music lover. I live in Indianapolis and tried multiple multiple times to get tickets the first round for anywhere and second round too and never could and have been heartbroken about that. And all that being said, If this was me I would still be pissed because - it’s just a concert. Compared to losing your parent?? It just really makes you gain a perspective. And seeing someone close to you choose something that suddenly seems so minuscule, that’s incredibly isolating and makes you feel not cared for

2024-11-26 02:49:03 +0000 UTCThe eras story- I just lost my mom this year in an accident and it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through. I don’t think op is an “asshole” technically, but I can 100% also see the sister in laws pov. Honestly if I was her, I would be extremely upset and mad too. When you’re going through such an intense grief that feels like the world is over- someone close to you having a good time, feels so incredibly hurtful. You can’t imagine anyone not understanding how you feel and feeling the same. And yeah maybe that’s not rational but grief isn’t rational and it’s a huge feeling during grief to feel alone isolated and abandoned. I think it also depends how close op and sister in law are. It sounds like the sister in law is acting like everyone is abandoning her and she is close with op. If that’s the case I don’t see how there is a huge difference between your romantic partner doing this, and someone you consider family. Since my mom died I’ve had best friends completely abandon me and have felt extremely isolated. I hardly have any family, so the people who stayed to support me can be a chosen family. I think the sister in law has a right to be upset, and op has a right to go technically. And since the damage is done, I feel like op should just profusely apologize and try to make it up to her. Say she didn’t know what to do in such a short time and thought she was making the right decision but didn’t know how much it would hurt op and she never wanted to make her feel that way. She clearly already feels remorse so I think she should just express that

2024-11-26 02:28:57 +0000 UTCFor the eras story, as someone who lost both parents by the age of 20, OP IS NOT THE ASSHOLE AT ALL! She went above and beyond and intentionally put things in place to help them feel supported even while she could not physically be there. Making meals and doing laundry without even being asked, OP is clearly thoughtful and a genuine good friend. These seem like small things but when you’re grieving such a significant loss you don’t realize how hard the small things are to even do. Everyone grieves differently but I couldn’t imagine asking someone to give up something important just to be there with me. She provided support before and offered to take off of work after. Hopefully SIL realizes this once she’s in a better headspace to reflect on it. OP is right, people can have really out of character responses/reactions when grieving. She’s likely angry at the world and, in her mind, OP gave her someone to take it out on. Love that OP has the insight to give her grace in that too!

I’m glad people who love them got to enjoy them but I am admittedly a big chicken and I couldn’t watch any of the spooky THT or FKS stories and I missed my fav podcasts lol. P.s you do an amazing job running the podcast and putting out SO much content for us each week. Be proud!!

2024-11-24 18:21:26 +0000 UTCI went through something similar to the eras story. My dad died 2 yrs ago and we don't have a ton of support. My husband reached out to his sister to ask if she could watch our son for a few hrs so he could see my dad one last time and say goodbye, and she said no because she had a wine weekend with friends in the same town my parents lived. I think the support that person did provide made the difference. Effort and empathy make the difference. It's be one thing if she said no to EVERYTHING and went to the concert
Jasmine Walters
2024-11-24 14:44:57 +0000 UTCI was curious about the saying, "A Kettle of Fish". The expression "a kettle of fish" means "a real mess." Used mostly in northern England and Scotland. Most people who use this expression say either "a fine kettle of fish" or "a pretty kettle of fish," though what they're describing isn't fine or pretty.
