Somehow my wife got all the good genes and is sweet and caring. Yesterday, my wife surprised me with a romantic setup and told me we were going on a three-week vacation to a secluded cabin for hiking, which I love. Shortly after, she re...

AITA for not paying for my sister’s college when I’m paying for my fiancée’s?

So, I (29M) grew up dirt poor. Like, sharing meals, lights off half the month poor. My parents did their best, but there were five of us, and money was always tight. I hustled like crazy after high school—community college, then transferred to a good university while working full time. I graduated with loans but a solid job in tech.
