NTA. To be fair he does sound like a doormat I dont think he will end the relationship bevore the wedding, maybe after a few years of a unhappy mariadge. So basically your family members thought it'd be funny to see him end up in a life threatening situation. Stealing someone's effing inhaler out in the wilderness is trying to kill that person. Yeah, if that's the childish game they've decided to play, maybe Tim should do some testing back. Soooo NTA. Tell them they need to apologize and gain respect in your eyes .. Tell them that their insecurities about how manly they are is showing loud and clear to everyone. OP needs to ask her dad what hed think if her future MIL learned she had what could be a fatal allergy to nuts & decided to slip her some to test her womanliness. At a guess, because lil Timmy isn't one of "them". And why you let things go so far? They also sound horribly insecure. I think you all let it go to far before you stood up for him. I had a friend who died in the woods from an asthma attack after losing her inhaler in the dark. I wonder what they would do if OP was engaged to a big dude with anger issues. They bullied him and did illegal things. He was probably trying really hard to put up with this behavior because he loves her so much. Keep asking why. But by cutting him out you're relationship with the other family members may have to change as well. The only excuse is that she has been raised in this toxic environment and does not realise how bad it is. NTA. This needs to be your hill to die on before your fiance really actually dies. she said her step-sister, who has now changed her mind and would like to go to the concert and, as a result, she no longer wants to go with me. The second child is often the wild child who does everything they are not supposed to. If I were OP's fiance, I'd just dip out of this whole thing and look for someone who comes from a normal, sane family. Please OP, have someone you trust or can hire to be security at your wedding. if something is destroyed or someone gets hurt (regardless of intention) then it is not a prank. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. NTA, the men in your family are full blown psychopaths. Having a chronic condition doesn't make you less of a man. NTA. Typical snowflakes if you ask me. NTA and you made the right decision sticking up for your fianc as he is obviously madly in love with you to put up with your families bullshit. Nick has thrown a complete uproar about not being invited to my bachelorette or bridal shower. Ask them who was going to take responsibility if he died. And that's not even getting into how dangerous and stupid their "pranks" were. Hiding his inhaler on a days camping trip? NTA OP. The only difference is, I was about 13 when I was forced to realize my father was a terrible, manipulative man. Yet I still had a feeling something would happen when it came to my wedding. Because if she has an asthma attack and is more than 3 feet from one, she will die. NTA but you're lucky that your fiance haven't left you yet. Tires are expensive to replace, and not everyone gets lucky finding good replacements secondhand. Slashing tyres was a serious attack on his property (and incurred an unnecessary expense) and hiding his inhaler was playing russian roulette with his actual life. Yta for letting them do this to him for so long, but absolutely not NTA for uninviting them. They've got everything backwards - it's not their right or job to test him. Exactly. The thing is, she still acts like she has something to make up for. If I were Tim I'd be questioning the marriage with a hostile family like that. NTA. They should deal with the consequences. I doubt she will stand up to them further. Nta for uninviting them, because its Tim's wedding too and I wouldn't want people at my wedding who might abuse me. Like, Tim is well within his rights to leave this shitshow if she doesn't follow through (as he should be), but it sounds like she's been trying to get them to cut it out since the beginning and this was the final straw. I moved out and left them to take care of my younger brothers by themselves and went full no contact for years. OP needs to go no contact with these Neanderthals if she wants to marry this poor guy. Growing up i was a daddy's girl, I was his password, wallpaper and profile picture child. As this is NOT normal male behavior. It really fucking is. They all seem to think you wood be more concerned about what they think of your fianc than what he thinks of them. Im surprised Timmy stuck around for as long as he did. How do they not realize that?! This isnt a prank anymore and abuse. Stand your ground, these assholes need to learn their actions have consequences. I'm almost done and it's been a lifelong dream of my mother's to have her children graduate from college. They will neither sit down nor shut up. Being in a good mood I went on a websearch to add some examples of that having happened. But if you only slash 3 tires you have to pay out of pocket. What the fuck is wrong with these people? NTA its bullshit toxic masculinity, men do not test each other like this unless they have frail egos themselves. I dont know what they intend to prove but they only proved they are mean AH. It has been great having her back and we've gotten so close again. NTA. Nothing worse than telling a funny story and everyone goes quiet and looks sad at you. To follow this. AITA for uninviting my dad from my graduation and telling him I never want to see him again? Die on this hill. However, it should have happened much sooner. I, unfortunately, made the mistake of giving in and inviting my father to my graduation. Create a new healthy family. 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. My family thinks I am the asshole because of how harshly I spoke to him, that i chose stepdad over him and that I broke his heart. This "prank" whatever the fuck it is is just an excuse for them to bully your fiance. It could easily turn into manslaughter if the fianc died. The question shouldnt be whether or not theyre invited to your wedding. Jesus that sounds like a nightmare. NTA, and get security just in case if they even try to get in, The men in your family are assholes. OP is NTA for dis-inviting her family, but she is TA for all the times she wrote off her family's actions as "pranks". Exactly. NTA, but your fiance deserves a better woman. Its not just bullying anymore! These aren't "tests", this is your family being major fucking AHs. This comment is a copy of your post so readers can see the original text if your post is edited or removed. In fact, Tim has every right to press charges against these guys and should do so. In the eyes of the law, if your fianc had died, they could be charged with manslaughter or even murder. What's worse is, I can see people like this waiting for future opportunities for "man tests" at family events going forward. NTA your family aren't trying to bond with your fiance. I'm 33 M and I recently went back to college for a BFA. Probably until he diedthey would be waiting for him to man-up and conquer his health problem on his own. He could have called the police on them for that. Nuff said. Youre asking the wrong question. NTA This is so much an echo of my own life. They are treating him like garbage. Poor guy. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Yeah- it bothers me that OP calls slashing someone's tires is "a prank". My brother freaked out saying it was a prank and they were going to give it back, Dad said they'll apologize if I insist but Tim will have lost the little respect they'd gained for him and in their eyes will always be "the soft college kid" who's not up for the challenge. And your mom isnt any better for enabling them. What did they expect to accomplish? So, in theory my lung could open up more. Will they get the same abuse? It's just a prank! My asthma isn't terrible but I'd be fuming if someone dared to put me in the danger of not being able to breathe properly. And if you have kids do you want them to be raised with this toxic environment. Does he have have a will, advanced directive, and medical power of attorney sorted out? Your male family members sound like toxic sexist AH, who love bullying under the pretense of how manly they are. Oh gotcha, that makes much more sense then. Your family is really toxic. Slashing his tyres? Child abuse waiting to happen. But your fiance is crazy to marry you after all this shit. The dad is a master manipulator, and the siblings likely haven't realized they're being abused yet. After texting thier wives for the address haha. I wonder how they were planning to bring the house down at the actual wedding. 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. And he'd be right to do so. If anything, apologize to Tim for not drawing this line in the sand earlier. NTA. Who wins out of this? Far from it. she said im to keep the money if i sell the tickets (both mine and hers). What type of relationship does your dad have with your siblings? Thats HUGE. And they could have killed your fiance with this! Especially with your dad, who will apologize but will lose respect for him. Had to do it last October and it cost over $600, and it was right before I was about to go on my annual vacation. Yeah driving 7 hours without an inhaler could have gotten him, someone else, or both killed if he passed out behind the wheel. AITA for telling my (step)dad that his kids are not welcome in my life ever again? AUTOMOD Thanks for posting! They took Tim on a 3 day trip and hid his inhaler. The relationship is ruined, so why not enjoy it a little bit. What happens when they want to start testing the manliness of a child and start with these pranks? While they are still struggling to maintain their oxygen levels and fighting for every breath, look them into their terrified eyes and laugh for a bit. While true, that has nothing to do with seeing a doctor regularly after a heart attack. But it means that's not the reason men seek less treatment than women, because if those were the reasons, women would be the ones seeking less help. Your fiance doesn't deserve this. You joke, but men let their toxic/insecure masculinity come between them and lifesaving healthcare. Who works with you to resolve problems? All of them can go fuck themselves. NTA for uninviting them to the wedding but you are huge AH for not shutting their antics down sooner and continuing to subject Tim to these bullies. Seriously. I have severe asthma, without my inhaler I will die. Id go no contact if my family acted like that. of abuse? AHs are still AHs. They will seek out and tell a woman and will hope that woman will intercede on their behalf with a male boss/authority figure/doctor, but they will avoid going to the male authority figure themselves even when death is on the line. I f22 grew up in a family where men prank and tease each others. Men are less likely to seek out mental healthcare, and having much higher rates of completing suicide. My dad said that he didnt know if he would be able to attend because I have not put the past behind us. The next step would be giving him flowers that set off his asthma. Pff too easy. You continued to expose your fiance to this bullshit and not call a hard stop to it. Guarantee hes hoping youre that kind of person, OP. Some people live paycheck to paycheck and this could break them. I'd tell your mom that you would be ashamed of your children if they acted like your dad. My brother would probably fight someone over slashing his tires. Woman slammed for uninviting step-dad from wedding so brothers would attend A bride-to-be is being shamed online after confessing she'd uninvited her step-dad from her wedding - which he paid. Disrespect to him is disrespect to you. This doesn't mean men aren't ignored & gaslit by doctors because they are. Their little prank couldve cost your fianc his life. NTA, this is horrible. I'd recommend you completely cutoff your fam members, including the enablers that are ok to turn a blind eye because it's not something that impacts them directly. Asthma can be fatal, that's not a risk I would want to take. This comment is a copy of your post so readers can see the original text if your post is edited or removed. Id agree theres a clear pattern of disrespect and scary antics here that I wouldve cut off long ago. Especially men with small minds that have a lot of toxic masculinity going on. I would presume that they had a similar experience with him. If you have a son, do you want your family to test him this way? They want to live like Neanderthals they can do it elsewhere, not at your wedding. What they did could have KILLED your fianc. I doubt anyone here would find the choice so easy if they got stuck with it either. What type of BS is this? Ain't they laughing? NTA. Tim most love you to bits to put up with all this sheee-itte coz Id be gone after they slashed my tyres.you are 100% NTA here your family sound mental. What your family have done is abuse, and could have easily led to harm to your fianc. They likely thought my claims of abuse were unfounded at best and malicious at worst. Theyd be lucky if being disinvited was the worst thing youd do to them. If they're doing this shit to a grown man, they will absolutely bully a male child. OP, this already is a wedge.
