AITA for blowing up at my wife for going to her gender-reveal appointment without me?

My wife and I are expecting our first baby together. We made an appointment to find out the gender of the baby. To me, this is very important (I had hopes for a boy) unfortunately, the day of the dr appointment I had to attend my friend's birthday that I remembered last minute. I asked my wife if we could cancel the appointment and go another day but she looked shocked that I even considered c...

AITA for specifically ordering food my wife hates so I don’t have to share?

I really really hate sharing food when I order out at restaurants or takeout. I always order just enough for myself so when someone grazes off my plate it makes me unreasonably upset. So my wife is a TERRIBLE food snatcher. She always says she’s not that hungry and orders a small side or nothing at all, then slowly devours the food I’ve ordered. So many times I’ve ordered steak and fries just ...

AITA for not wanting to change my name and asking fiancée to change hers?

I (27M) have been with my fiancée (24F) for three and a half years. We are very happy together and I can’t imagine my life without her. but we have had a hard time reconciling this disagreement so I posted here at her suggestion. We have been talking more and more about marriage recently and what it would look like. For me part of the significance of marriage is becoming family with each other,...

AITA for not wanting my husband to go see Batman when our baby is due?

My (25F) husband (28M) and I are expecting a baby. As you may know, there is a new Batman movie releasing on early march. My husband is a big fan of that kind of stuff and wants to see it opening day. The issue is that our estimated due date is exactly on that day. I know that only a fraction of babies are actually born on the exact due day but I have always been very regular on my periods and...

AITA for extending my vacation with my family and missing my gf's surgery? I think she's being dramatic

I (35M) have been with "Stacey" (33F) for 8 years; neither of us want marriage but we are committed long-term to our relationship. Stacey gets tonsillitis 3-4/year, and has swollen turbinates meaning she is agony every quarter and has trouble breathing through her nose. She is having a tonsillectomy and turbinate reduction surgery at the same time (both are done through GA and she'll be there f...

AITA for refusing to listen to MIL's sp*ech on my wedding?

I hate sp*eches. I never understood the appeal. I think they are boring, exhausting and very very forced but having said that, this is just my opinion and I never forced it on anyone. I have sat through long excoriating sp*eches without complaining like any other decent human being. When it was my turn to get married however, I requested no sp*eches. We wrote that we loved everyone and that...

AITA for telling my sister she needs to name her baby like he will grow up and not give him a "cool" baby name.

My sister is obsessed with the show Yellowstone. Her husband is willing to do anything to make her happy. They want to name their baby Cowboy. I know I should have kept my mouth shut. It's not my circus or my monkey. I just told her to consider that she was naming a person who would eventually be an adult. Our mom and dad at least had the decency to only give me Danger as a middle name. Yes ...

AITA for getting upset at my gf for giving my mom a tattoo

My(25m) girlfriend (22f) and I have been together for over a year. She’s covered in tattoos which I’ve always liked. She’s always been artistic and has been tattooing herself and friends for years. My parents are more conservative and traditional so when they planned a trip to visit us I told her to just wear longer clothes to cover them up. She refused and on the day they visited she wore a cr...

AITA for being completely uninvolved with my son’s life, as was agreed with his mom before he was born?

So about 5 years ago, I (m27) have been f**k budd*es for a couple of months with a young woman (f26) during exchange semesters. We mutually agreed that while we liked each other, we didn’t love each other and we were not going into a relationship, but would rather be having some fun together and that’s it. Well, despite both of us using protection (her the pill, me condoms), she somehow got pre...

AITA for asking my sister to be discreet about her polyamorous (Male-Female-Female) relationship in front of the kids?

I guess it should be are “we” the a*sholes, but idk if that’s an accepted acronym here. Apologies that the line up is a bit complicated but I’ll try to lay it out as best I can. My family is going on a group vacation this summer. We are pooling our resources to rent a nice property on the beach for a week. My husband and I are (unfortunately) taking the lead on planning and organization. ...

AITA for wrapping a fake present for my kids?

I have two sons from a previous marriage ages 8 and 9. I've had full custody for the last three years and it's just the step mom and me now. Their mother is no longer in the picture. They were so excited about christmas last year. There were many presents for them under the tree from the grand parents and us, and they were constantly checking them out trying to guess what was in them. They c...

AITA for telling my sister-in-law that she didn't actually run a marathon?

I've been a runner for as long as I can remember, I absolutely love it. I want running to continue growing as a compet*tive activity and as a just-for-fun hobby. I encourage and support newcomers to running, but recently I encountered a situation where I felt gate-keeping was necessary. My sister-in-law got into running last year, and she absolutely fell in-love with it as well. Since I am als...
