AITAH for leaving my wife without a discussion after I found out she cheated?

I know that I am not an a*shole for leaving a relationship where my partner was unfaithful. That is normal and I would hope everyone respects themselves enough to get out of that situation. This is a touch more complicated. I fly in fly out for work. I am currently working a contract in Africa. I work for eight weeks then I get four off. So basically I'm gone for two months and home for one...

AITAH for not wanting my wife and mother-in-law to keep reminding me to “keep my voice down” before every family gathering?

I (45M) don’t have living parents, so all family gatherings are with my wife’s (36F) family. Early on, I often felt like an outsider at these events. Her father made it clear he didn’t think I was “good enough for his daughter,” and her mother and I had a strained relationship due to our differing religious beliefs (I’m an atheist; she’s a devoted Christian). This dynamic left me mostly quiet ...

AITA for surprising my parents with a trip to Italy and telling them my little sister cannot come?

My wife and I are finally at a place in our lives where we can show appreciation to our parents. Right when we felt we could financially afford it, we decided to surprise our parents (my mom and dad and her mom) with a trip to Italy. We wrapped up a small frame and wrote a card. On the day we were giving the present, my two younger sisters were present (15F and 20F). Both of our moms were over...

AITAH For Refusing To Work Thanksgiving So My Co-Worker Can Celebrate With Her Kids?

28F. I recently got engaged and have been at my current job for a little over two years now. I love my job, and feel honored to do it, but one downside is that we’re needed 365 days a year and so it’s common to work on holidays. The general rule is that individuals who are new are first in line to work on Thanksgiving and Christmas. There’s also an informal expectation that individuals without ...

AITA for refusing to buy my spoiled teenage daughter expensive Chick-fil-A, boba, and $300 Shoes and telling her to get a job?

I 34M have a 16 year old teenage stepdaughter that's become unbearable ever since she got TikTok. She wants Chick-fil-A three times a week, boba every other day,those "aesthetic" overpriced shirts and pants and it's all pretty expensive. She says things like "well my friends dad buys her everything she wants." Yesterday she had a meltdown in the parking lot because I wouldn't buy her a $50 ...

AITAH for asking my husband to pay off my debt.

I (30f) have been with my husband (31m) since we were 17 and 18. We have 4 kids together (first one born when I was 18). In 2021 my husband asked me to quit my casino job to be a “SAHM” because he got a promotion and needed more flexibility. He then said he would be able to pay all the household bills which he has done since then. I had a little work from home side hustle that made about $30...

AITAH for telling my daughter it’s none of her business who I decide to date and to mind her own business

My ex wife and I finalized our divorce proceedings last year after her one night stand. The one night really hurt me and it made me really sad and angry. My ex wife did apologize a lot and was willing to do anything I asked but I lost all emotions for her. She really wanted reconciliation and I will admit I did reconsider reconciliation for a moment, but I ultimately decided I couldn’t do it. ...

AITAH for being upset with my boyfriend for not disciplining his son for making a r***st slur?

I (25F) am a Black woman, and my boyfriend (46M) and his son (14M) are both white. For the past year, my boyfriend’s son has been making r***st jokes, including using the N-word and making jokes about Black people. Just last weekend, we were playing an online game where he chose usernames like “H***er” and “Forthej**s.” This was completely unprompted, and my boyfriend didn’t correct him. I ...

AITA for locking my sister’s kid in the bathroom for an hour?

Last weekend my (28M) sister (26F) asked me to watch her son, Ryan, for a few hours while she ran errands. I agreed, even though I’m not super comfortable around kids. But it was just a few hours, and I figured we’d survive. At first, everything was fine. We watched a movie, he had some juice, and I thought we were in the clear. But after about 30 or 40 minutes, he started getting more and more...

AITAH for telling my husband I prefer uncircumcised men (he isn't) if he's told me he prefers tall women (I'm not)?

My husband and I were talking and the convo somehow got to circumcision (don't even ask how). He mentioned that a lot of people choose to cut their sons for the benefit of their future female partners. Without thinking a lot, I said "that's insane to me because I've always preferred uncut men." Now, My husband is cut, as are most American men. I am perfectly happy with what he's packing, bu...

AITAH for being upset that my boyfriend threw out the food I was eating because he thought it was culturally insensitive

My boyfriend and I made dinner tonight from one of those meal delivery services (like H**lo Fresh). It was called loaded pork taquitos. We forgot to pick our meals for this week so they were chosen for us. So we cooked the recipe together (usually he does the prepwork like cu***ng veggies while I do the cooking). I knew already that my boyfriend wasn’t excited about this recipe. He’s Mexican a...

AITAH for refusing to cut off my hair because my 7 year old niece has cancer?

The t*tle probably already tells I'm the a*shole, which I probably am, but I just need other people's opinions on my situation. I am 17 male. Unfortunately, about 6 weeks ago, my niece got diagnosed with ALL. Considering she has pretty much had health issues since birth, words can not describe how bad I feel for my aunt, uncle, cousin and especially my niece. It basically broke their family...
