    Font - I'll call my friend Lucy, and call her boyfriend Joe. I've never met Joe, but he and Lucy have been together a year or so. Lucy is the type who is never single. She is also beyond obsessed with her men, and makes them her personality - if her boyfriend is into hunting, she likes hunting. If they're into the gym, she's into the gym. Etc. Lucy is never without Joe (she goes with him to the barber shop, etc).

    Font - I took Lucy aside and told her "I'm happy to have you here, but the invite was only for you." Lucy said "we're leaving then" and stormed off. I got texts from her last night saying I should understand they are a package deal, and it wasn't a big deal that he came. She said she brought him because she "didn't want to be lonely" and if I was a true friend, I'd understand. AITA?

    Font - BelkiraHoTep 18 hr. ago Partassipant [4] Not to defend Lucy, she was definitely the AH here, but it was OP's baby shower, so she's going to be busy playing hostess and chatting with everyone at the shower. Which I assume would be friends, family, possibly some co- workers. In other words, people that Lucy may not know. I don't think that was a jab at OP, necessarily. When I've gone to baby showers in the past, I have just sort of assumed that the mom-to-be won't exactly have time to sit a

    Font - Now, that doesn't mean that I've just brought a surprise plus one. I'm an adult and I find it fairly easy to sit quietly in a room full of people I don't know and ooooh and aaaaah over baby shit for a few hours, then go home. Lucy needs to put on her big girl pants, it sounds like.
