Not a FU, y'all needed to hear that.

I would be upset if I sat through all of that and got fed two bites. It's cool if you like that (and it's your wedding, so eat what you like), but there will be A LOT of guests who will be unhappy (not angry, just not happy) at the reception and probably have that as how they remember it.

So if what you are going for is "it's my party, I do what I want and the guests don't matter" then go through with your plan. It's your wedding. But if you are looking to have your guests enjoy themselves, maybe have some consideration of your guests in your food choices.

If he only wanted to have sex with women, he still wouldn't be okay to have sex with women other than the woman he was with. Being bisexual just doubles (minus one) the people he's not allowed to have sex with and still be monogamous. It's not being closeted to be bi-sexual and monogamous. What are you even thinking?

If your faith is so flimsy that such an innocuous question would make it fall apart, your faith isn't worth believing.

(Which is not to say their JW aunt wouldn't have a reasonable answer that would satisfy them, but simply to say I wouldn't worry overmuch about it)

It's also shitty of your dad to put your aunt in that position, making her choose between living with the person that helped torpedo her life or leaving her niece to fend for herself on the streets. It shouldn't be left to your aunt to punish you or take care of you after this, and if your dad figured she would let you in and thought his anger at what you did was more valid than her anger at actually being the wronged party, he sounds insufferable.

Tl;dr: your dad's a dick, and not just to you.

Every time she brings stuff up, suggest a therapist.

"That sounds rough, have you thought of talking to a therapist?"

"It sounds like you're dealing with a lot. Did you look into a therapist yet? They can be really helpful."

"Geez... this seems beyond me, you'd be better off with a professional."

Friend: I don't want to get a therapist, I just need a friend to listen.

"You have a lot to talk about, and it's beyond what you should expect from a friendship, not that I don't want to help. The occasional shoulder to cry on is one thing, but you have stuff you need to address, and that's just above my paygrade. It's not healthy for you or our relationship, either. Want me to help you find one?"

I'm not one generally to look at a thing designed for one gender and demand complete equality in an otherwise largely gender-specific issue(e.g. women's shelters), but I struggle to see why this isn't a "keeping juveniles out of jail" instead of a "keep girls, the already minority group out of jails" thing.

Every comment mentioning non-girls is just a toss away that may as well be a parenthetical aside. There's even a part where they say that it could eventually be used to try to get boys out of jails as well. Maybe. Eventually. But getting girls out is the important thing.

The whole thing gives the vibe that boys in juvie deserve to be there but girls in juvie are just victims of society, which both frustratingly removes agency and similar accountability from the girls and shows a wanton disregard for the circumstances and fates of the boys.
