AITA for getting upset about the condition placed on the “free” house my future in-laws want to buy us?

So, this is a disaster. My fiancé (29M) and I (28F) have been looking into buying a house. We’ve been saving for this for years and have enough saved up to buy som**hing small (our city’s housing market is pretty insane, so even with a good combined income, most things are out of our range). We don’t need a lot of space and aren’t planning to have kids anytime soon, if ever, so small works jus...

AITA for not wanting to support my boyfriend's early retirement?

My boyfriend has just paid off his mortgage and now wants to take early retirement on £8k per annum. The only way he can afford to do this would be for me to move in with him and work full time so that the bills can be paid and he can do what he wants in his spare time. I am fifty and my own pension fund is not great so I don't expect to be able to retire for the next twenty years. Am I bein...

AITA for making an obese man pay me cash to take up part of my seat on a long flight?

So this month I was flying across the country on a long 5 hour flight, which I had booked and seats selected for. I specifically chose an aisle seat in a row of two, so no middle seat — just the aisle and window. Well, a very obese man boards and I can tell instantly he is going to have a tough time fitting in any of the seats. I assume maybe he bought two hence why he’s even attempting to boar...

AITA for kicking out my friend which means she'll basically lose custody of her child?

My friend is a single mother going through a fight for custody of her 5 year old son. The son stays with the father most days and the father wishes for full custody. My friend and her ex are at odds due to my friend's living situation. She can no longer afford to live in her apartment and moved into a shelter briefly which becomes a unanimous "no" in terms of custody battles. If you don't have...

AITA not telling husband I know he’s gay

I’ve known my husband is gay for several years now. At the very least he’s a gay-leaning bi-man. Our s*x life has deteriorated consistently over the course of our marriage, and a few years ago I found his stash of gay p**n on his work laptop (wasn’t snooping, it as on accident). The thing is, I actually enjoy my marriage. My husband is kind and considerate. We have three beautiful kids (9, 12, ...

AITA for being cold to my ex-fiancé and demanding a paternity test after her in***elity?

I've been treating my ex-fiancée pretty cold and demanding a paternity test for the child she's caring. I knew my ex for almost 10 years. After we graduated I asked her out and we became a couple. We dated for almost 6 years before she came to me and told me she was pr****nt. I loved her and this was exciting, so I proposed. She seemed worried, but after I reassured her I would support her eit...

AITA for walking my friends’ under-exercised dog more than they usually do – which led to vet costs and now drama?

My friends (let’s call them J and P) adopted a 2-year-old rescue dog (I'll call him B) about three months ago. Before that, B had lived in a bas**ent with little to no stimulation. He’s a super sweet dog but noticeably under-exercised: they walk him about 1–2 km per day and he’s alone for 6–8 hours daily. He often seems restless, whiny, overly excited around other dogs – classic signs of under...

AITA For not wanting to go to my sister's wedding?

I've been married to him for 8 years. He has been in a wheelchair since he was 16 an...

AITA for refusing to financially help my family after they abandoned me even if it means they’ll end up homeless?

When I was 9 I was sent away to live with my father’s sister who lived states away because her husband didn’t want me to live there anymore. They used to pay my aunt some ...

AITA for telling my sons girlfriend to stay away from him because she is distracting him from his responsibilities.

I (50M) am a single father to my son (15M). My son has been making exceptional grades and he plays for his high school's baseball team. That was until he started dating a girl (17F). They've been dating for the past few months and they seem very happy together, but my problem is that my son's grades have been slipping, he's been skipping out on ch**es at the house, and missing practice/games. ...

He complained about hospital food saying it had no taste and asked me to make his favorite meal which's steack dish and bring it to him at the h...

AITA for not letting my neighbor’s kid ruin my lawn in the name of imagination?

I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with your standard backyard, some grass, a few old trees, a weathered shed. Nothing fancy, but I try to keep it tidy. I'm on polite-but-not-close terms with most neighbors. We wave, sometimes chat about the weather, and that’s about it. There’s a family two doors down with a boy who’s maybe 9 or 10. Lately, he’s gone full pirate mode. I mean fully com...
