AITA I ditched a date after he told me “A woman could never be president”

I went on a date with a guy I had a one night stand with like a month ago. Yes my friends already told me this was a bad idea. The first red flag was when we sat down at the first bar and we ordered drinks then he ordered.. chicken tenders? But didn’t ask if I wanted anything to eat. He ended up taking me to a hookah lounge (what the h**l) and that’s when politics came up. He told me he did...

AITA for refusing to babysit my nephew on my day off?

Context. Story happened in early 2020. I (F31) have a brother (34), we're both no longer speaking to our parents. He has been with his GF for 10 years who has no sibling but is very close to her parents. Four years ago, they told me they were having a baby. Of course, I was thrilled for them. Few months later, BOOM baby boy! (G) For reasons stated earlier, we're pretty small family, I'm his...

AITA for going off on my neighbor after he made r***st comments about my adopted son?

So, I (32F) have two kids: my biological son, Ethan (8), and my adopted son, Malik (7). Malik is Black, and we've had him in our family since he was 3. We live in a mostly white neighborhood, but we’ve always felt welcomed by everyone, and our neighbors have been really supportive of both my kids. Except for Steve (45M), the guy who lives two houses down from us. Over the past year or so, he’s ...

AITA for humiliating my friend at my fundraiser because she outed me?

I was at a fairly large fundraiser I organised tonight and it got completely ruined by my ex friend, let’s call her Jenna. I’m quite open with my friends about my line of work (S*x Work) but I’m not with family and those I don’t know well. During the event I was talking to a group and Jenna blurts out “She can donate so much because she makes so much making p**n.” I was stunned. It became in...

AITA for refusing to help my neighbor with her groceries after she refused to let me borrow her snow shovel?

So, I (28M) live in an apartment complex where we all try to be friendly with one another. One of my neighbors, Karen (probably mid-40s), is generally nice but can be a bit… particular. We’ve had polite interactions, nothing too close, but enough to say h**lo in pa*sing. Last winter, there was a huge snowstorm, and I was caught off guard. I didn’t have a shovel, so I asked Karen if I could ...

My wife and I help her, mostly my wife cause she's at home most of the time. But her friend has been a pain for us. I don't like her. She lives near us and has been friends with my wife for a year. She comes over almost every other day an...

AITAH for refusing to take my boss’s dog home every night even though “it’s just a temporary arrangement”

So I (29F) work as an admin a*sistant at a small company, and my boss, who we will call Greg (40M), is the type of guy who thinks “running things like a family” means he can do whatever he wants. A few months ago, Greg adopted a golden retriever named Buddy. Buddy is great. Greg is not. Instead of, you know, adjusting his own life to accommodate his dog, he just started bringing Buddy to the of...

AITA for doing nothing to help my dad and stepmom while she's got cancer?

They've got four kids together 8 and younger and then there's me (17m). I don't have a good relationship with them. I did until I was 6. Then things went badly. So my mom d*ed when I was only a baby, my dad and stepmom met when I was 2. I really loved her and ...

AITA for walking out of my sister's birthday party after she announced she was pr****nt?

Growing up, my sister (26) and I (23 F), were not that close. She was my parent's favorite daughter. I have always been a little overweight, I had PCOS, my sister was slim and fit. I always held that resentment towards her, especially when she belittled me with my mom. Not letting me eat more than one serving of dinner or more than one serving of dessert. Telling me that sleeping in was making...

AITA for referring to my husband as family?

I (28f) have been married to my husband for 4 years and consider him my family. We will never have kids. I have recently started a new job. We've been really busy so I worked many hours of overtime. A few weeks ago my boss asked me whether I had family. I said yes and he didn't ask for more details. Last Friday he kept calling some of my colleagues into his office. Then he called me. I went ...

AITAH for not caring about the fact my niece is biologically mine

My sister and her wife can't have kids together for obvious reasons, so they asked me to be a "known s**rm doner". They first brought it up to me years prior jokingly before I was deployed as she lovingly said "just in case I don't make it back" but like most of the time when my sister has a big ask to make, she just asks and expects an answer right away. For multiple reasons I said no the big...
