AITA for cancelling the payments for my daughter's wedding after she told me my wife isn't invited?

My daughter (27F) is getting married in the fall. I (58M, het dad) am supposed to pay for the wedding, that's what we agreed on.

I have been divorced for 15 years and married to my wife now for 8 years. My daugh...

On Monday, I found my son and two friends on the roof of our sun deck playing army. I told him to put the ladder away afterward. This continued until Thursday when my daughter revealed the true reason: our 22-y...

AITA for refusing to take down a video of my kids father dancing at my brother's wedding?

My children's dad & I got separated and divorced 2 years ago. We're on good terms regarding co-parenting. And since he's close to my brother, my brother had invited him to his wedding. Perfectly okay with me since the kids were thrilled to get extra time with dad. I was taking a video of mom and my kids at the wedding and posted it on my insta. Hours later, I get a call from my ex yelling a...

AITA for using the money I won in a lottery to finance my own dream vacation across Europe/Asia besides on my kid’s student loan debt?

On my birthday this year, I treated myself to 50 bucks in lottery tickets, and managed to hit one of the huge $50,000 payouts. After taxes, I had ~$34,000, so I’ve put $7,500 into my wife’s car, and put the rest into a high-interest bank account. I’m planning to switch jobs early 2020, but first, I plan to travel for the month of January and half of February across Asia and Europe. I’ve never ...

Because of circumstances that I couldn't be in her life for long...then, her mom got married when she was 5 to her stepdad who is a somewhat decent guy, nosy but decent. I came back to the country when Chloe was 16, and she was open to the idea of rebuilding our relationship. though, her mom always throws in my face that Chl...

AITA for giving my brother and his wife 2 days to return my piano?

However, my brother and his wife (who came to stay with me for 2 months after loosing their apart...

AITA for protecting my children who were technically born from an affair?

I'm trying to keep this vague for obvious reasons. I'm in my mid-30s. I got pr****nt from a one night stand. Honestly, I always wanted kids, and for various reasons, it's not likely that I'll ever have a long term partner. I've tried and had many heartbreaks. He's in the military, and pretty much ghosted me once I told him the news. It's fine, it was a one night stand anyway, hardly a love aff...

AITA for refusing to cook for my wife anymore after she ate 3 of my meal prepped meals?

In my household my wife doesn't cook. She sucks at it and it's just easier on our taste buds if I cook for us. Earlier this year we both decided that it was time for us to get back in shape, I decided to research some macro/calorie friendly cooking recipes and got big in to meal prepping. My wife stuck with it for a few weeks but ultimately decided to quit. Luckily, this wasn't too much of ...
