'AITA for taking $2,000 to get off the plane and coming home late?'
"AITA for taking $2,000 to get off the plane and coming home late?"
Delta gave me $2,000 to skip my flight. This is $2,000 that can be spent ANYWHERE. The flight looked like it was going to get canceled anyway. It did. So now I have $2,000 and a hotel stay but my fiancée is mad at me because I chose the money over coming home. But it looked like the flight was going to be canceled.
Not to mention I called once and texted once to ask her opinion and she didn't answer either so I had to make the decision by myself. She claims because she's been in a semi-depressed state the last few days it is crazy of me to ever make that decision.
She has not communicated to me well enough how 'bad' she really is right now. Last night when we spoke and she seemed better.
People had a lot to say about this one.
Question for OP. How could you tell it was likely to get cancelled? I don't travel much.
PM-ME_UR-KITTIES OP responded:
Pilot next to me waiting for airplane said so. I checked weather radar after that.

You know what would make me feel better? My husband telling me he just earned $2000 in 24 hours. Hopefully, in a good relationship, it benefits both of you. NTA.

NTA. Stand alone it seems like a good deal and with hindsight and the flight getting cancelled, you were proven right. How late were you getting home and did you miss anything important/semi-important?

NTA. She needs to be under care of a professional. Lovers, friends, family cannot treat someone's mental illness and no relationship can thrive if you are expected to halt your life long term to caretake. No shade to anyone but you aren't capable of offering what she needs.

NTA. People like your girlfriend need to stop with the 'therapy talk' and self diagnoses to describe their every emotion. How is one 'semi-depressed'? You're either depressed or you're not. You made the right financial decision. But now your GF wants to make it about her. Ask her to write down all the ways your decision impacted her life in those 24-hours after she expected you home.
