Idiot! This is not the time to be snorting cocaine with groups of people.
He should be freebasing.

People doing coke are fucking losers. As said before he flipped it on you instead of saying sorry. What a little baby.

While doing said coke, did they share the rolled up dollar bill or the bump spoon? Or was it BYOB (bring your own bill)?

Having kids is likely going to completely alter who your friends are over the long term. The narcissistic self serving party till you drop types will be the first to go. Even if you still love them...they just won't be doing the same things. Having people stay at your house as a party base is out. With hindsight you should have told your BIL to stay elsewhere. Lesson learned. Maybe use that as a way to apologize and smooth over the family tension. This isn't about him as much as it is about the change in your life.

its a shame because people with this mindset don't allow you to make truly informed decisions. my wife is a member of a gym in draper and overheard these women discussing this bullshit in aug/sept., trying to convince others. a lot of it was they didn't want to have to deal with their kids at home and of course, sports is a big driver and mostly that football team.
i've got one in hs and two in middle school and they've been going. it's been interesting for sure. hs started out full go before hitting max case #'s in a few weeks, then hybrid split and now as cases explode, they are back to school at full capacity this week. go figure. the 14 yr old has had two people in his classes test + so they quarantine the kids around them which is usually half the class. no symptoms but had to be held out of school and soccer which make sense. he just got quarantined again yesterday from something last wed so we had him tested this morning so he can go back and work his refereeing job this weekend if clear.
i will say this. kids are generally trying hard to make this work. they don't want to be working from home all the time but i've noticed my kids say, they like the hybrid schedule the most as it provides a good balance between working on your own and then having in-person instruction to help with various road blocks, etc. that said, kids are stoked to be going to school and trying to make it work.

I think you will regret ending this relationship ultimately. Wife's family is close and you are going to really put a lot of pressure on her, and every married guy knows how that goes, regardless of right or wrong. I think emotions are high due to pandemic and this is a you are dead to me type deed IMO. It doesn't sound like he was partying with strangers, but people you both know and semi-trust otherwise.
That being said, a hiatus until vaccine or this all blows over is definitely in order. That guy knew the ground rules and ignored them. Fuck that shit.Live Free or Die

I guess I posted about this to get some validation so thanks to all that confirmed that cocaine use is a big NO during the pandemic and I appreciated some of the talking points you all brought up. the wife and I talked about it and she's not too stoked with me. Basically, she wishes I would have left it to her which I think would have been foolish because that would have been the softiest slap on the wrist in history. She is overly defensive of her family, but I think she realizes the harm her brother put us in.
That's kind of the best part: how childish his reaction to being called out. He even blocked me on Strava haha Dude is such a bitch ass baby, it will be hard for me not to "poke the bear" next time i see him.

Ya i agree with that. I wish I could just "shut the door" and be done with him. Unfortunately, we'll see him all too often to completely cut him off. Which to me is the funniest part because he basically blocks me when he knows he owes me money and forces my wife into the mix (which I guess was bond to happen).
It's really too bad it came to this because we have a lot of common interests and often bike/ski together on family trips. Oh well he's a little soft for my taste in adventure partners anyways.

Ya I get this and I've had similar conversations with many of my friends during the pandemic, and no one has gotten bent over it. All of my friends have been super understanding of the precautions we've taken and me being upfront about it.
My little brother is on the "trumper" spectrum and he even was super understanding when I laid out ground rules before his visit.
I think it just comes down to my BIL doesn't respect me and my wife. And to be honest, he doesn't show a lot of respect to the people in his life so just another reason to more or less be done with dude to the extent I can.

Sounds like you see the dynamics of what's going on. Sounds like he's not your friend or a friend you'd want. Hope your wife on board but don't put her in the middle.

Ya I don't want to put her the middle of it. I think she's come around already.
I did appreciate your suggestion to mail him an invoice, but I'm also trying not to stoop to his level of pettiness.
The last communication between us is from him saying he doesn't want a personal relationship with me. I'm happy to respect his wishes and won't be talking to him unless out of necessity from here on out.Last edited by brutah; 10-21-2020 at 01:39 PM.

My suggestion was just a suggestion. Sounds like you've got it handled. Getting stiffed by the guy could be a plus. Universally understood.

I would have my statement for mom/dad-in-law down pat. When they ask why you no longer hang with BIL, a stone faced statement on how during COVID times he ignored pleas for common sense and went on a coke binge, which endangered their grandchild and daughter.
After all, they asked.

Exactly. So much for the family-centered Mormom life. When shit gets serious, it's Mom first, not family though. I find it great that these momo moms are told to have at least 3 kids (having 2 only replaces their parents when they die) and then are not allowed weed or alcohol. Sucks to be them. I do have sympathy of course but christ buckle up for just a couple semesters and get a bigger Valium prescription.
You consistently have the worst takes.

Damn Brutah sounds like BIL needs to take a lap.
My daughter lost her senior year and a probable LAX championship last year but graduated, turned 18 and moved out got a good job and may start school in the spring but is probably waiting till next fall. My 16 yo is a sophomore and struggling a bit but mom teaches at his school and has been on him to stay on top of grades. He is starting to just come out of his shell socially as a real awkward kid so I hate that thia is the world he is growing in. He also plays football and has only missed one game due to the other team quarantining. And school is supremely fucked. Such a reverse knee jerk to the initial shut down. Its a slow motion trainwreck thats picking up speed. 3 weeks in person, 2 weeks online, get yer asses back in class for maybe a hybrid schedule nawww fuckit fulltime. My wifes science classroom is so fucking small you'd say to properly social distance youd maybe get 10 kids in there. Nope 36 to 42 students, more asses than seats. Canyons school board can fucking suckit! Iverson demanded to not hold an emergency school board meeting when CCHS was skyrocketing on a Wednesday because he "didnt want to miss his wedneaday golf game" you cant make this shit up. The principle of Alta HS is out with COVID as of yesterday.
And I can categorically say Corner Canyon is the cheatingest highschool I have EVER seen the shit they pull on the field is ridiculous the shit their announcers pull is ridiculous but we still beat them handily (sophmore team)
