AITA for refusing to keep ‘teaching’ my boyfriend basic life sk**ls?

Me (23f) and my boyfriend (25m) moved in together a few weeks ago. He’s always lived at home with his parents, where his mom did literally everything for him: laundry, cooking, cleaning, all that. So when he moved in with me, he asked me to help him “learn” how to do things, and at first I thought it was kind of cute. I figured we’d start with cooking since it’s a basic life sk**l and he does ...

I reported suspected child a**se and the mom says I destroyed her family

I am finishing my degree and working part-time at a daycare. I have a 4-year-old kid that is acting really odd. This is not the typical kid oddness, but truly concerning behavior. He has been having very extreme reactions toward the male staff. He has literally froze, and/or wet himself when the male staff comes near him. The female staff has noticed he is okay with us, but som**hing is not rig...

AITA for leaving dinner at my husband's family's house over a comment he made about my miscarriage?

My husband and I have been trying to have kids for 3 years. I've had a series of MCs and not a single pregnancy was successful. Our recent MC was a month ago. And although my husband never said anything (up until now) These have such trying to times for me personally, the tension and emotions are very overwhelming and I've become too sensitive even at the mention of the topic. He took me to his...

AITA for wanting to call off my wedding after my fiancé k**led my plants

I have been away visiting my parents in a different city and I have 2 plants back home which are water propagated so basically he didn’t even have to water them, just keep their containers filled and he still let the water dry out and my plants d*ed. I’m genuinely so upset that I want to call off the wedding and he thinks that it’s not a big deal and that I’m overreacting over nothing. This ...

AITA for telling my to be granddaughter in law some l**d advice after my family asked for some ‘grandmotherly wisdom’?

My good friend Gracie made me aware a few weeks ago of a phrase that made both of us laugh til we were sore, a dirty phrase which is ‘the key to a successful marriage is to keep a mans stomach full and balls empty’. Both of us are in our 70’s and jovial and sprightly if I may say so. I liked the phrase – it was funny, and it stuck around in my mind. My family are aware I have a filthy sense of ...

AITA for shouting at my boyfriend for telling his friends and family I m***ered his firstborn?

I fell pr****nt earlier this year by my boyfriend and since we're both 23 and not s**ble enough, I told him I was planning to abort. He said he didn't support that decision but it wasn't his choice so he'll just go with it. I had the procedure and we continued dating but now I've heard from a mutual friend that he tells them and his family that I m***ered his firstborn or some bu****it like th...

AITA for refusing to k**l the office spider despite one of my colleagues being scared of it?

I’ve had a spider in my office space for a few months now. She’s a cool, small, little thing who chills near my desk and occasionally I bring her lil treats to eat. Sometimes she disappears and sometimes she comes back. I’ve named her. I like her. My colleague Mich**le is aware of the spider, and is always complaining that it’s a pest and needs to be k**led. Recently she saw the web, not ev...

AITAH For Telling My SIL That I’ve Had Four Miscarriages When She Said I Didn’t Understand Her Loss?

I’m married and a momma to a one year old daughter. My husband and I actually had a very difficult time becoming parents. I’ve had four miscarriages (four before my daughter was born), but I’m honestly just so thankful that we have her. I don’t typically speak about my fertility issues, and the only people who know how about my miscarriages my parents, husband, and two older sisters. My husb...

AITA for saying that my husband’s reaction to a miscarriage is excessive?

My husband, 27m, has a long time friend who we'll call Bill - 31m. The two of them met when my husband was 16 and from the way they always tell the story, they've been inseparable ever since. Bill is now married and lives nearby with his wife. They announced their pregnancy a while ago and my husband was absolutely overjoyed for them. He would visit at often as he could and it seemed like he w...

AITA for saying my sister needs to stop bringing up her miscarriage for attention?

Ten years ago, my sister had a miscarriage. Obviously, it was devastating for her and the whole family and it took her a couple of years to fully heal from it. We're still not 100% sure why it happened, but it was a one off and she's since had three very healthy, beautiful children, including a set of twins. My sister and I don't really get on. She resented me as a kid because she had to share ...

AITA for ending a foursome relationship after an attempt to cuck me.

My wife and I have been together for over 10 years. We have 2 kids together. Our s*x life has been good, but we wanted to s**ce things up, so we decided to get a little adventurous. My wife was in a lesbian relationship before me. I’m as straight as they come. We met this lesbian couple (let’s call them Dana and Leslie) when we were out a few months back. Things progressed, and we all agreed t...

AITA for fighting with my parents over this (19m)

My mum would always grab my a*s as a kid, call me things like s*xual, and sometimes even lift my bed sheets up to ‘see if i was wearing anything that needed washing’ if she was putting clothes through the washing machine etc. it would always make me uncomfortable but when you’re a child you think it’s normal behaviour. when i turned eighteen she’d ask me questions about my body count, the olde...
