I (26F) have been thinking about this for a long time and I honestly don’t know if I’m overreacting or not.
Last summer I went on a trip with two of my cousins (22F and 21F, they are sisters) and one of their boyfriends. We were also meeting a distant “cousin” (28M). We’re not really close family but we’ve known each other for years.
The thing is, I had history with this guy. When we were younger we kissed once, and later on (in 2021) I visited him and stayed at his house. That last night we went out, he kissed me again and we almost hooked up but didn’t.
Also earlier that same year before the trip, he had been texting me a lot saying he wanted to see me, so I thought there was still something there.
Now, my older cousin (22F) and I used to be really close. I had told her EVERYTHING about this guy, so she knew the whole situation.
When we all met on the trip, something felt off from the start. He was giving all his attention to her, talking to her all the time, joking, and barely paying attention to me.
One night they literally disappeared together for a while. I felt uncomfortable and said something, but I got dismissed and made to feel like I was imagining things. The younger sister (21F) told me I was overreacting and basically made me feel like I was crazy.
Later that night I overheard my older cousin telling him something like “stop, she’s going to get jealous.” That really shocked me. When I confronted her, she denied it.
What makes it worse is that at that time she actually had a boyfriend back in her country. And she still acted like that, knowing about him AND about my history with this guy.
After the trip, no one ever talked about it again. The younger sister just acted like nothing happened and even asked me for favors months later.
Then a few months later, her boyfriend broke up with her because he found out she had been texting this guy and cheating.
And now recently I found out (through family, not even from them) that they are on a trip together.
I think what hurts the most is not even that they ended up together, but that I was made to feel crazy for something that was actually real.
So yeah… AITA for cutting them off and not wanting anything to do with them anymore?
I got this tattoo a couple of years ago and at first I didn’t like it too much (i had a different picture in my mind) I asked the tattoo artist to go over the flower details in black to see if I’d like it more, but years have passed and I still don’t feel 100% comfortable with it. I’ve never received any compliments on it, maybe because people don’t expect me to have such a big tattoo, so I’m unsure whether I should have it removed with laser or should I add something else to make it look better? What do you recommend?
