AITA for refusing to pay for dinner after my friend donated my stuffed animals?

My (18F) friend (18M) was in my dorm room with me and went over to my bed, which has my stuffed animals on it. He was like “whose stuffed animals are these?” I said they were mine obviously, and then he was incredulous and was like “You’re 18 years old. Why would you bring stuffed animals to college?” And I was like, “why wouldn’t I?”He said that’s som**hing that should be on r/sadcringe, and ...

My Husband Secretly Took Another Wife So I Handed Our Kids to His Parents and Left

I just found out that my husband of 5 years was cheating on me and getting ready to take another wife without my knowledge. I come from a Muslim house hold and in Islam men can have up to 4 wives but it isn’t lawful for him to do so without the explicit consent of his first wife and on top of that he has to be capable of giving equal love and care to all his wives. I and millions of women today ...

Man Gets Berated By His Ex-Wife For Teaching Their Daughters About Periods, Feels Bad After Kids Saw Him Shouting At Her

I (37M) have three girls; 8, 10, and 12. Their mother walked out on us for another man when our youngest was around 4. My ex still stays in contact, though, and pays child support. A few weeks ago while doing laundry, I saw red spots on my oldest's underwear. I asked her if she knew about it, and she cried and told me she tried to call her mom, but my ex didn't call back. She'd been stuffin...

AITA for washing my boyfriend's clothes?

My (22F) boyfriend (27M) asked me to wash some of his clothes for him since I was doing laundry today. I told him to put any clothes he wanted washed in my hamper and I'd include them. He left his wallet in a pair of pants to be washed, but I didn't notice as I was putting them into the washing machine, and I a*sumed he would have checked them anyway considering he had already put them in my ha...

WIBTA if I divorce my wife because she does not want me actively involved in raising our children?

My wife (31f) and I (32m) have been together since college and we've been married for 7 years. We have three children together and I am sick of either having to step back and let her raise the kids almost as a single mom or fight with her because I did som**hing with our children, even som**hing as simple as feeding them. But that's where I'm at. She wasn't like this when our oldest was bor...

AITA for putting bacon on my lunch to keep my Muslim friend from stealing it

I’m not a super healthy person. At school for lunch, I usually get cheese fries. I know, very unhealthy. But one of my friends sure likes to steal my fries, as well as food from our other friends at the table. He’ll grab a bit from our trays and eat it when we’re not looking sometimes. It’s not usually a lot; it’s more so just a nuisance. So I had an idea. My friend who likes to snatch our foo...

AITA for pretending not to know my fiancé after she had a meltdown during boarding the plane and was eventually thrown off?

So, my fiancé (maybe not for much longer) and I were on our way back from a vacation recently. It was a great time and everything went off without an issue. That is until we started boarding the plane. Now, I know better, I only bring a small backpack with essentials incase I don't get my checked bags. I can survive out of this backpack and it will always pa*s baggage check for size and weight...

AITA for telling a girl at the gym that her pants are see through?

My gym has multiple squat racks facing mirrors opposite each other. This means that while your in the rack looking in the mirror, over your shoulder on either side is other people facing away from you in their own rack. Because it might help with context I’m 6’, 170lbs (so not some giant bodybuilder) and the girl in this story is average height and weight as well (not some fitness model but no...

AITA for refusing to wear a bra while my boyfriend’s friend is staying at our apartment?

About a month ago my bf asked if his friend from out of town could stay over for a couple days and I said yes. So the next day his friend shows up while I’m at work. When I get home I greet the friend (who I’ve never met before). I then proceed to go to the bedroom where I change out of my work clothes and throw on a T-shirt and a pair of shorts with no bra. I never wear a bra at home as I fin...
