AITA for asking my husband to stay with his family while he’s unemployed?

My husband (32) and I (30) have been married for just over a year now and things couldn’t be rockier. I have a good job and make a decent amount of money, whereas my husband made not as much as me. Due to this, and the fact he was still living with his parents when we got married, we decided he would move in with me and I would continue to pay the rent and bills as long as he put money toward o...

AITA for ordering a meat dish while eating with my vegan friend.

Yesterday my friend /acquaintance and I went to a restaurant after work. She is a vegan and ordered a vegan dish. I ordered som**hing that contained beef. When my dish came, my friend was shocked to see that it contained meat because she a*sumed that it didn’t (for some reason). She said she no longer felt comfortable eating at the same table as me unless I sent the food back. I said no way...

AITA for laughing at a guy throwing dollars on my girlfriend at a club?

My GF and I were out at a club to see a DJ. We were dancing, drinking, having a good time. My GF has been doing yoga for a few years and when she’s especially sauced she likes to throw in some splits and stuff on the dance floor. Well, we got sauced and as she’s doing her 3rd split or so a guy comes up and “makes it rain” on her - literally like 4 dollars. Obviously he was making a joke that s...

AITA for wanting a sunrise wedding?

Every year on our anniversary, my fiance and I wake up early to go to the beach and watch the sunrise together. It's a very special tradition, as we have both overcome a number of personal challenges during our time together, and the symbolism of watching a new day begin is deeply meaningful for us. We decided we wanted to incorporate this into our wedding. Our plan is to have our ceremony on t...

AITA for selling my ex-fiance's family heirloom when he wouldn't pay me back for our canceled wedding?

I (27F) was supposed to get married to my ex-fiance 'Mason' (29M) on the 20th of this month. But last week a mutual friend caught him cheating on his ex 'Kim' so I called it off. Because it's so close to our wedding date, I had already booked everything like the venue, catering and everything else. I barely managed to get any money back as it's mostly non-refundable so in total I've lost $20,0...

AITA for reporting a theft a young man committed, he lost his scholarship and admission to university

I own a liquor store in the suburbs. Overall the area is decently safe, especially compared to the city. Two weeks ago, a young man and one of his friends came into the store and ran off with bottles of liquor. We reported them to law enforcement with the license plates. Officers tracked them and asked if we want to pursue charges. Two days later one of the kids mothers comes by and begs me ...

AITA for driving my daughters home in the middle of the vacation after they excluded their stepsister?

I (38M) have 2 daughters (Nora 16 & Lilly 14) from my former marriage. I married my current wife who has a daughter (Jenna, 11). Jenna has a disability and uses a wheelchair. Before I met her mother, Jenna was mostly homeschooled, and even after I helped enroll her in a private school, she still struggles with socializing due to her isolated upbringing. My wife resisted, but I insisted Jenna r...

AITA for wishing my husband would get me a Christmas gift?

I don't know if I am being materialistic, my husband says I am so I want to post here and get some objective judgments. With Christmas coming up, I did want a gift from my husband, mainly for the symbolism like the thought of getting a Christmas gift. I know he doesn't have much money because he's very reluctant to work and skips going to his part time job most of the time, so I told him it cou...

AITA for not wanting to pay for a diamond ring?

So my girlfriend and I recently got engaged, and I figured it would be nicer to have her pick out her own ring rather then me guessing what she likes. Now I already know my girlfriend loves shiny things, but now she is absolutely adamant that she wants a real diamond ring. Personally I don't like the idea of sh**ling out so much money for a piece of jewelry with an artificial high price. So...

AITAH for not telling my girlfriend I didn’t finish college

I’m a successful software engineer and I dropped out my senior year because I had a good job opportunity that paid 6 figures. I’ve always been a bit self conscious about it because I live somewhere where people go to work after graduating from Ivy League schools. Not finishing college has never stopped me from getting a good job. Anyways my gf has a professional degree and she always just a...

AITA for dropping out as my brother's best man a couple days before his wedding?

My (36) brother (30) got married this past weekend. I was supposed to be his best man. The wedding was 12+ because they didn't want to have to deal with toddlers and such, which is fair enough. A lot of guests do have young kids though, so they decided to have a venue nearby with a professional sitter if parents wanted to drop kids off there. My wife has some injuries that make her slow to r...
