AITAH for asking my girlfriend to pay rent even though I own the house?

I (32M) bought my house a few years ago, and my girlfriend (28F) recently moved in with me. She hasn’t been paying rent, as she was saving for other things, but now that she’s settled, I asked if she could start contributing to the household expenses. I suggested she pay a portion of what she would normally pay if we were renting a place together. She got upset and said that since I own the...

AITA for announcing my "engagement" at my sister's wedding after her feminist sp*ech rubbed people the wrong way?

I (28F) have always had a complicated relationship with my older sister, Anna (31F). Anna has always been very outspoken about her beliefs, especially when it comes to feminism and women’s rights. I respect her pa*sion, but sometimes she can be a little intense about it, even at family events where it feels like she's lecturing rather than conversing. Anna recently got married to Dave (35M)...

AITAH for not allowing my Daughter to go on birth control?

My daughter just turned 18 and asked my wife and me if she could go on birth control. We are a religious family, and our beliefs teach that s*x is sacred and meant for marriage. My immediate reaction to her request was strong discomfort. I trust her; she is responsible and does well in school. But allowing her to go on birth control feels like giving approval to behavior that contradicts our va...

AITA for Telling My Wife I’m Refusing to Babysit Our Kids Just So She Can Go on a “Girls’ Trip”?

My wife recently asked if I could watch our two kids for a weekend while she goes on a trip with her friends. She framed it as a “girls’ trip” to recharge and relax. Normally, I wouldn’t have an issue with this, but the timing was terrible. I’ve been swamped with work and haven’t had a moment to catch my breath. I told her that I was refusing to “babysit” the kids that weekend because I couldn...

AITAH for pressing charges against a 25-year-old man for getting my 15-year-old daughter pr****nt and then making her have an abortion?

He was just sentenced to 10 years in prison. My daughter was only 15 and he was 25. My daughter had a fake I.D. That said she was 21 and went to the bar and had a few beers, and met a guy there, and the guy thought she was 21. Bu****it, she does not look 21. She looks 15 in my eyes. I saw the fake I.D. and the law agreed with me, there are no excuses. I also forced my daughter to have an abortio...

AITAH for making my boyfriend delete all his social media accounts?

I (23F) and my boyfriend (25M) has been on a rocky road lately because of him watching p**n and n**ed and half n**ed girls. The first time I caught him doing that and saw all the pics and videos, we had a talk and I expressed how that made me feel and I calmly asked him not to do it again and get rid of everything! Even though I was absolutely heartbroken I remained calm and did not really sho...

AITA My ex slept with me and is getting married in two weeks. Help? M24 F24

I was with my ex for four years and we had a lot of ups and downs which resulted in our families being on bad terms and when we tried to get married the conflicts proved too much to overcome. We both got together when we were 18 and were young and naive, we’re both 24 now and have careers and savings which was the main reason why it didn’t work the first time around. Our culture puts a lot of ...

AITA for refusing to hang out with my boyfriend’s republican friend?

I (25F) have been with my boyfriend (28M) for about a year. We recently moved in together and everything has been going really great in my opinion. We agree on all of the important things, including politics, which was a big sore spot in my previous relationship. However, his friends do not share his beliefs concerning politics. A few weeks ago, during our states primaries for governor, my boy...

AITA for being honest about how I was bullied and how the teachers at my school did nothing about it while being interviewed by a current student?

I’m an author of mild success. I’m not incredibly popular, but my books sell enough. About 3 months ago, someone from my old high school reached out to see if a student could interview me. I responded that my time at the school wasn’t the happiest, but I would give the student responses relating to my career. We had a great chat. She started asking questions about my time at the school, but I r...

AITA for not forgiving my(27) fiance(28) for missing the birth of our daughter?

My husbands girl best friend (we'll call her Madison) has never liked me, for reasons I guess I will never know. Anyways my fiance (we'll call him Michael) and I were having a hangout with a little bit of the friends that we shared. It was nearing the end of the night and Madison was the only "friend" left when Madison came out crying with Michael looking angry, (I was around nine months pregn...

AITA for saying that my daughter inherits my house "no matter what"?

I'm a single mom in my 50s with one daughter. I got very lucky in that I bought a home in the Bay Area nearly 30 years ago for around $230K before the tech boom and now the house is worth about $1M. I have a 23 year old daughter Camila who grew up in that house and she moved out last year to go live with her boyfriend. I've never explicitly told my daughter "the house will be yours" nor has she...

AITA for replacing myself with my twin brother at my in-laws’ Christmas Eve party to see if anyone noticed?

I am 31, and have an identical twin brother. For a while I’ve told my wife that none of her family members notice me or care about anything I do on Christmas Eve but they insist on me attending. She told me that’s not true, they genuinely like me and enjoy talking to me. But I know that the only times they’ve included me I had to basically insert myself into conversations and it feels awkward ...
