'AITA to be upset my in-laws are planning a separate birthday party for my sons?' UPDATED

My husband and I bought my mom's house and are currently doing major renovations to it (we're redoing the plumbing and the bathrooms, for example). As a result, we can't really host any gatherings there until the plumbing and the flooring is done. I knew it would likely not be done in time for our twins' first birthday, which is next weekend. My sister-in-law (SIL2) also is high-needs on the AS...

'AITA for excluding my brother from my wedding because of his 'fun facts'?'

I have an older brother David (41). David has boundary issues and was in the learning disabled cla*ses. My parents never let him out of the home. He has an very rough personality and because he was never allowed to work or do anything so in his 40’s he doesn’t have friends. He still dominates the conversation at every holiday with “fun facts” and goes off on those and doesn’t realize no one is li...

MIL takes back family heirloom from DIL before the wedding. AITA?

I won't respond to repeat questions, check the comments --------------- My family has two heirlooms that we give to a bride or groom when they marry. For the men, it’s a set of cufflinks, and for the women, it’s a bracelet. My oldest son and my oldest sister are married, and their spouses wore the bracelet or cufflinks at their weddings. This tradition is essentially our family’s way of saying, “...

Woman tells a stranger at the gym to 'name 3 women who loved him.' AITA?

This situation is genuinely so d**b, and I don’t know where to start, but I’ll try my best to tell y’all about what happened. So I, (19F) have started to go to the gym a couple of times a week. I just moved to a new town, so haven’t gone to this gym before. For some background, I am a really big metal fan. I’ve been a metalhead since I was 13, and I regularly wear band tees. The gym is no except...

'AITA for wanting a child-free wedding?' 'I'm DISGUSTED.'

Our wedding (me 25f, him 25m) has been planned for almost 2 years now, and we are down to the final 9 weeks. When we started, we agreed to no children. He doesn’t have many kids on his side, but I do. We knew this may mean not everyone we invited would come and that was fine. His mum however, has been nonstop about his cousins two kids coming. We’ve always said they aren’t cause then it’s no...

'AITA for refusing to have my photo taken with my BF's family and making his mom cry?' UPDATED

UPDATE - I have spoken with my bf and his mother and apologised to both. The reason she cried was because she thought she had upset me, not because she was manipulative - she is extremely lovely and expressed sadness that I didn't feel part of the family. My boyfriend and I had a lengthy discussion and I find it funny the judgements on our relationship, we are a lot stronger than some of you thin...

Wife’s secret spending leaves couple facing $96K debt crisis; she finally decides to tell him. AITA? + UPDATE

I’ve been married to my husband for nearly 17 years, together for 20. I knew that prior to our relationship he struggled with money issues, and it is a huge trigger for him. So what did I manage to do? Take over the bills a couple years ago and Completely f**ked it up. Credit card debt, juggling zero interest cards, all that jazz. My credit has been on a slow and steady decline. I’ve been trying...

'AITA for secretly moving out of my BF's house while he's at work?'

H**lo All! IN A FEW HOURS I AM ABOUT TO SECRETLY MOVE OUT. I will be giving live updates and I will do my best to provide as much context. So here we go ... I (31 F) have been living with my boyfriend (42 M) for a little over 6 years. From the very start everything moved so fast and I jumped into a new life before thinking. There is so much to say about the 6 year history we have, mixed with good...

'AITA for telling my fiancé that his family was too nice when I met them?' UPDATED 2X 'IT'S OVER.'

Throwaway acc because my fiancé is on Reddit and I really don’t want to risk anything. I (27F) recently met my fiancé’s (31M) family for the first time. We have been together for four years but we spent two of those years in my home country, and then moved to his country after I finished my graduate program. We didn’t settle in his home state, but I kept asking to meet his parents because he’s m...

'AITA for not inviting my (former) close friend/SIL to my engagement party after our falling out?'

I (29F) am in the midst of a falling out with a former best friend (and also basically sister-in-law), Sophie (25F), and I’m struggling with how things ended and how to move forward as our partners are brothers. In August, I switched careers to become a skin ther***st, and Sophie’s younger sister, Emma (20F), agreed to be a model for me. On the day of her appointment, she completely ghosted me. ...
