AITA for being “disgusting” in front of my fiancé’s family to prove a point?

So, I’m a semi-vegan. I have lactose intolerance, gluten sensitivity (not to be confused with celiac), and IBS. I get teased a lot for my “d*etary choices” mostly cause people think I’m a preachy PETA a*s but in reality I’m fighting a constant battle to not s**t my pants. I also get people thinking I have an eating disorder because I’m relatively pet*t and can’t eat 99% of food, and spend a lo...

AITA for letting my pr****nt fiancé think I'm cheating on her?

My fiancé "Jen" is insecure right now, given that she's 32 weeks pr****nt. I still think she's beautiful no matter what, but telling her that makes no difference. Now, for the past 6 years we have been basically inseparable. I actually enjoy her company, to a point of me not really enjoying going out without her. She's fun and she makes my night way better by having her around. We also are ver...

My Ex Uses My House Like a Buffet Every Time She Picks Up Our Kids

My ex and I have two boys (7 and 11) and we have 50-50 custody. Every Thursday she comes to my house to pick them up for her time. I noticed more and more food was going missing, but not for sure. I was able to confirm that food was going missing because someone drank my last can of Ginger Ale. I asked my sons' sitter if he knew anything about it and he said my ex drank it. Apparently, when my...

AITA for expecting my boyfriend to replace my bras after he left them at the laundromat and they were all stolen?

My boyfriend was at the laundromat doing our laundry, and he left behind my bra washing bag. It contained all 7 of my regular bras, but thankfully none of my sports bras, which get washed normally. When I realized what happened, I made him go back to the laundromat and look for them. They were gone, and the shop owner said there was probably no way to get them back. I wear a 32K bra. This is...

AITA for refusing to have a pink bedroom again

I am 15f, my dad is 31m, stepmum (Anna) is 29f, stepsister (Zoe) is 8f. We are in the UK. Dad did the best he could as a young single father, but we've lived in a small 2-bed flat with little money for a long time. Dad and Anna married two years ago but lived separately because Anna was caring for her disabled mother. Pre-COVID, I was rarely home and didn't care about my childish pink room....

AITA for cu***ng off my MIL after she made a joke about poking holes in our condoms?

I, 38F, have been togheter with my husband "James" for 4 years. We are both childfree and do not intend to have kids in the future. When we first got married, we both told our family about how we didn't want to have kids and why. My family was fine with it, but his wasn't. Especially his MIL, who I'll call Mary for privacy. She's either pa*sive aggressive or just tells us we'll change our mind...

AITAH for telling my husband that I want him to use a condom?

I recently gave birth to our newborn and was just cleared by my doctor for s*xual activity. Before I gave birth, I told my husband—on three separate occasions—that I did not want to go back on birth control for at least a year. Postpartum hormonal imbalances are real, and I didn’t want to risk the added stress or the possibility of getting pr****nt again so soon. I was clear that if we were go...

AITA for saying 1 shower (2 toilets) 8 adults for 1 week is not ok? Am I being unreasonable in saying that this is not realistic (and is in fact a really s***id idea)?

I (45f) planned a holiday with my son (18f) to Japan next year. We were originally going to go in Feb for three weeks, travelling all over. Last year I started seeing a single dad D (46m) with two sons A (19m) and B (17m) and he asked to join the holiday with his kids. Initially I was a bit worried it would be overwhelming for our kids, who havent met, and that i would have to change the dates...

AITAH for locking up my food and toiletries so my roommate would stop using them?

So i (25F) live with a roommate (26F), let’s call her Jess. We’ve been living together for about 8 months now, and from the start, she’s been kind of a moocher. I’m talking about constantly using my stuff, my shampoo, my conditioner, my body wash, my snacks, my frozen meals, my freaking perfume. I’ve mentioned it several times, always politely, and she always says som**hing like “oh sorry! I’ll...
