WIBTA If I followed through on my ultimatum of not coming to Thanksgiving because of my sister's awful boyfriend?

My younger sister (30F) has been dating "Jerry" for 3 years. He's a loud-mouth who holds ignorant, b**oted, and h**ophobic views. I have no clue what my sister sees in him as no one in my family shares his perceptions. Here's what the first Thanksgiving was like with him (he was meeting my family for the first time). he brought up the recent election and called me a "snowflake" because he knew...

Teen Feels Bad For Not Giving Surgery-Needing Foster Mom Money They Inherited

I'm 15m and I have been in foster care since I was born. From what I'm told, my mom was real young and her parents made her give me up for "adoption" which realistically turned into me bouncing around foster homes my entire life. My mom wrote me a letter that I'm surprised was even given to me, explaining everything. She basically said that I was the most beautiful thing she ever laid eyes on ...

AITA for pouring my girlfriend’s mom’s soup through a colander so I can pick out some vegetables I really don’t like?

My girlfriend’s mom made us a seafood chowder for lunch while we were visiting. She made it before once and it was really good but she adds a few pieces of ginger to flavor it and I really really really hate bitting into ginger. I don’t mind the flavor it imparts, I just hate the taste of actually eating a piece. Last time, I accidentally bit into one since they were hard to see because the ch...

AITA for implementing a “you cook you clean rule” and leaving her to clean up her dishes after she made pasta

My wife and I switch off cooking, both of us cook twice a week and the days neither of us cook it’s a leftover night or takeout. We used to have the person that didn’t cook do the dishes after the meals. I clean as a cook, so when it is my night there are very few dishes for her to clean up. When she cooks, I swear she uses almost every single dish or pot for her meals. It is a disaster in the...

AITA for telling my sister my feelings about her have not changed after she confronted me for telling her fiance the truth?

Seven years ago my sister had an affair with my (ex)husband. We were still married at the time, I believed happily, and she was his mistress. I caught them together and banished both of them from my life. I divorced him. I told her to get away from me and the two of them stayed together for a couple of years and had a child. My sister tried to reconcile with me 5 different times. I rejected...

Lo and behold when she's 17 his daughter comes out as a lesbian. This was an awkward situation to say the least, and it ended up with her living with our parents for the rest ...

AITA for reporting my fiancé missing after he went out at 10pm for deodorant and disappeared for 7 hours?

My (30F) fiancé (33M) went out on Sat**day night to the store for a couple things he needed (I.e. deodorant) around 10pm while I stayed home with our kid (2F). He told me he was making a quick run to the store and would be right back. He borrowed my car and left and I thought nothing of it. Fast forward to midnight and he’s still not back. I sent him texts and called but he didn’t answer. At 1a...

Man Doubts His Decision Not To Get His Girlfriend Of 3 Years A Birthday Gift Even Though She's Never Given Him A Gift

My girlfriend and I have been together for almost 3 years. Gifts have been sorta a sore spot, at least for me. So the first year we were together she made me some cake things for my birthday. Which was nice and everything, but then she took like half of them back to give to her family. It just seemed kinda weird like "here's your present but I'm taking part of it back". Then her birthday cam...

AITA for refusing to pay the medical bills for my roommate's son after he had an allergic reaction eating my cookies?

My roommate's son, Sam (4M) is allergic to strawberries. He gets an allergic reaction only if he eats them. I recently made a batch of strawberry shortcake cookies. Some of them were in a jar in the top shelf. She mostly works remotely but sometimes she will have to go to the office for a few hours (1-2 max). As I always work from home and the kid is really sweet, I don't mind babysitting. O...

I told my wife to MYOB when it comes to our neighbor's weight loss

Our neighbor (f45) had been a bit plump, not really obese, but she could stand to lose a few pounds. Lately, though, she has been losing weight. She does not work out, no cardio, resistance training, etc. My wife guesses that she has been using one of those new prescriptions like Ozempic or Wegovy. She looks good and my wife has told her that. I notice the weight loss but I don't say anythin...
