AITA for expecting my husband to pay for the tools my daughter used for the handmade necklace he threw out.

My husband and I have disagreements from time to time. Nothing major just normal stuff. He has a habit of throwing out som**hing of mine as a way to "teach me a lesson" whenever he's upset with me after an argument. This time he threw out the handmade necklace my daughter (13) made for me herself on mother's day. The argument was about him wanting to hang out with his budd*es on the day of ...

AITA for wanting my husband to cancel his trip he been planning for 4 years

This is my first child, and I do not want to go...

AITA for refusing to participate in my bf's family's "tradition'.

I went to Thanksgiving at my boyfriend's family's house last night. I had met his parents and sister a couple times, but this was my first time meeting his more extended family. He said they make a whole day of it, so we would be heading over around 10 am. When we arrived, there were several men sitting in the living room watching football. My boyfriend introduced me to his brother, BIL, uncles...

AITA for telling the kids their dad took this year's Christmas away from them?

So I'm a working mother of 3 kids (9,11,5). My husband used to have a job but was let go at the end of 2020 and hasn't worked since then. Yes he worked in few places here and there like the gas station but he couldn't keep it because he lacked "motive & pa*sion". All in all our financial situation isn't so great BUT I've decided to start saving money to be able to get the decent Christmas celeb...

AITA for flipping out on my husband for cancelling my job interview?

So, this might sound petty but let me explain. In 2019 I could no longer work because of my physical disabilities. no company wanted to hire me for the past couple of years and My husband said that it's better I just stay home and not worry about working. I agreed and he's become the breadwinner, then... it's like a switch that flipped because ch**es were 50/50 but after I lost my job they ...

AITA for causing drama during an important football game?

Last weekend I (F27) ended feeling a wee bit poorly with what turned out to be appendicitis. We were away for the w/e with my partner (M39) so I had surgery at a hospital 3-4h away from home. I had a small complication during surgery so I had to stay until Wednesday (yesterday). My partner returned work on Monday but he came back to pick me up. The timing was a bad because there was an impo...

AITA for refusing to eat, knowing my MIL will not eat if I don’t, and causing her to faint?

We currently live with my husband's mom and she does a lot for us. I truly appreciate that because we got ourselves into a financial rut. MIL is a hardcore perfectionist who always has to be the best at everything to the point it is completely toxic. She was taught growing up to never eat if someone else isn’t, and as a teen that spiraled into never be the only woman eating. It was ingraine...

AITA for refusing to be my best friend's MOH after she told me my fiancé is not invited to the wedding???

I've been dating my fiancé for 10 years and we're expecting a baby which is due in March. We'll elope before the baby arrives for legal reasons so we'll be able to organize a small party for family and close friends, no more than 20 people. My best friend and her future husband will be invited though. So straight to the point. My best friend is getting married in a month. She's been with he...

AITA for not allowing my MIL to sign my daughter up for a “purity ball” at her church?

My daughter Tess (9F) has gone to church with MIL periodically since she was little. I don’t love that, as I’m not a religious person and my MIL is an aggressive Baptist, but my husband thinks it’s a good bonding activity and so I don’t complain. Plus, it gives us adult time on Sundays. Well, because of the virus, services have gone online. Tess still goes over to MIL’s place and helps her ...

AITAH; My friend caught her husband j**king off to my pictures and wants me to tell him to stop

My friend Leigh (28F) caught her husband (30M) in his car, j**king off to my (27F) Instagram pictures. Obviously I’m icky about it too, but my friend is insisting I talk to her husband and tell him to stop, because I owe her. I don’t think this is my fault, nor is it my problem and told her as much. She’s now blocked me and bad mouthing me to anyone who will listen. Leigh is saying I led her h...
