My brother and I are not close. Never was, and after what happened on his wedding, probably never will. I’m not too torn up about it, though. In my opinion, he is a spoiled, entitled man-child, and my life is better the further away we are from each other. Side note, this isn’t his first marriage. It’s his third. He turned 30 last August. His car has been with him longer than either of his ex-wives.
He married my newest SIL two weeks ago. They just came back from honeymoon. The first thing they did after returning is to call me and berate me for bringing my roommate as my plus one. They didn’t say anything back then because they didn’t want to make a fuss at their own wedding, but they think it’s super inconsiderate of me to bring “a stranger” (I’ve known my roommate since before my brother’s first marriage) to their wedding, and if I don’t have a long-term partner, I shouldn’t have brought a plus one at all.
Like I said, I don’t like my brother all that much to begin with, so I didn’t bother arguing with him, as hearing him speak already gave me migraine. I simply said “you’re right, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that. I’ll keep that in mind and do better on your next wedding.” I then hung up and has been ignoring my brothers’ calls and texts ever since.
My roommate thinks it’s absolutely hilarious, and so do our friends. However, most of my family has been spam calling me as well (I don’t pick up either) so my guess is they don’t find my respond as funny. AITA?
