My husband was in a wheelchair for almost a year before he had his surgery, and this person is definitely NTA. It was really tough to do even mild slopes and sidewalks with him in the wheelchair and he and the wheelchair was about 200lbs. Pushing a 600lb person plus wheelchair over grass... I would get about ten feet before giving up lol
As a certified fat man, op is NTA, the reality is, there are things us fats just can't do, unless we put in the work to lose the weight. It's hard, and may feel impossible, but it's not.
One of the sweetest things I've seen online was a gravestone with a cupcake recipe on the back. The wife/mom/grandma died and before her death she asked for the recipe that everyone in the family loved to be engraved on the back of the gravestone so everyone knows how to make it themselves. It just felt so sweet and loving.
I feel for the disabled cousin, but another factor is the embarrassment she would have felt had a traditional non-motorized wheelchair gotten stuck in the grass while OP valiantly tried to push her out. Sadly there’s really no way she could have won here. 😢
I am so glad the bride invited that girl because she didn’t deserve that level of disrespect. She should feel like at least someone cares about her and wants her there. That man is messing everything up and he’s going to die alone and it’s going to be no one‘s fault but his own.
Also, Kelly is a whole ass adult and needed to hear what mom said. Mom would be doing her daughter a disservice by sugar coating that truth. She used her daughter’s own words to deliver a wake up call.
as a wheelchair user NTA, i can barely push myself in my chair on uneven surfaces and i am much lighter than the cousin, wheelchairs take a LOT of physical strength to move.
just quickly on the first one, as a disabled person (not obese, just a cripple), i would be SO embarrassed if someone was asked to go OUT OF STATE to essentially babysit me. and the whole "unacceptable venue" thing is really fucking simple. you, as a guest, do not matter nearly as much as the bride and groom. the one time id say otherwise is if you are INSANELY close to the people getting married, then its like ok, maybe they should have been a little more considerate. regardless, op's cousin is a massive AH for many reasons.
They shouldn't be mad at the kid. They should be grateful that they didn't have to pay for a third plane ticket. That's what he should tell his parents.
