Internet Backs the Redditor
Reddit users overwhelmingly agreed that the Redditor was NTA (Not the Asshole). Comments ranged from sympathizing with their loss to calling out the aunt’s audacity. Highlights included:
- “Your refusal was justified. Their past behavior and lack of empathy disqualify them from such an intimate request.”
- “Keep the ashes safe; their behavior suggests they might go to extremes.”
- “They burned bridges with their actions and now want to rewrite history. Don’t let them.”
The Bigger Picture
This situation raises questions about grief, boundaries, and entitlement. While grieving people may act irrationally, that doesn’t justify exploiting family ties or ignoring past wrongs.
How would you handle such a request? Would you consider granting it despite past conflicts, or do you agree that the Redditor made the right call? Share your thoughts!
