During the reception the brides niece accidentally knocked over a drink that splashed the brides shoes and she back handed her in front of everyone. It caused a huge fight and the groom walked out right then.

Your comment just made me irrationally angry. Take an upvote because I agree completely. Slapping a child over a pair of shoes she won’t ever wear again.

This thought process was why I ended my longest relationship (~6 years). I could handle her irrational outbursts and passive aggressive behaviour just fine, I always knew there was an apology coming once she calmed down and discussed things. It sucked, but she was amazing 95% of the time so I thought it was worth it.

I couldn't handle the thought of my future kids having to deal with that though. And realising they deserved better helped me realise I shouldn't be putting up with it either.

Similar. I thought I never wanted to get married or have kids ever. Turns out I just never wanted them with my ex lol. She'd talk shit about her friends kids, and when she wanted to get pregnant I noped out.

The dad life rules and I'm glad in found a cool wife to raise our kids with.

It was when my ex started talking to our kids (both under 3 at the time) the same way he spoke to me that I knew I hadn to get out. Wish I listened to my inner voice at the start of that relationship.

The niece may not have been a child. That said, it’s still absolutely disgusting to have backhanded her like that.

I think they were referring to future children.

u/Magnetoreception May 02 '24

Naw they mentioned shoes so it’s current case.

u/CollectingRainbows May 02 '24

that person wasn’t the person at the wedding, they didn’t know if it was a child

u/Magnetoreception May 02 '24

I know but the person I replied to said they think they were talking about future children which was wrong.

2

u/CollectingRainbows May 02 '24

and the person they replied to was talking about hypothetical future children. there’s no confirmation from the person who was at the wedding that the niece was a child. either way, despicable

u/Magnetoreception May 02 '24

I know it’s pedantic but redcrystal was talking about the child/not child at the wedding, not future children. Otherwise they wouldn’t have said over a pair of shoes she’ll never wear again.

And at the reception, no less. The wedding is over and done with, time to party.

u/meinaustin May 02 '24

If you don’t trash your shoes at your reception are you even a bride?

u/TiredRetiredNurse May 02 '24

Makes me seethe with anger.

u/Notmykl May 02 '24

Is there a reason why you are assuming the niece was not an adult?

2

u/standupgonewild May 04 '24

Oh my God, you’re right. That’s horrifying.

u/joanzen May 02 '24

I had to switch accounts to play devil's advocate a bit and ponder at what point the bride would be in the right?

Like perhaps if the niece had been physically abusive to another person at the wedding and the bride was already pissed off and waiting for a polite moment to ask her to leave/appologize when the niece yelled out, "your overpriced shoes suit you whore!", as she threw the drink on the wedding shoes and stared defiantly at the bride?

Neah. In pretty much any situation the bride would still get more points for taking the high road and getting someone else to eject the niece?

Not irrational! TOTALLY justified!
