AITA not wanting my husband's 17 yo brother to come with us on our vacation?

For context: My f25 husband's m27 remaining parent pa*sed away about 4 months ago. He has a 17 yo brother (Ryan) who is now living with their aunt. He's autistic and I kind of find it hard to interact with him and being around him generally gives me anxiety. Anyways, my husband and I planned to go on vacation and he told me that he would like to take Ryan with us to cheer him up a bit after all...

AITA for refusing to return my 400$ wedding dress like my fiancè requested?

I (f27) have been with my fiance for 2 years. He's 32, divorced doctor and lived in another town but we moved in together 7 months ago and got engaged. Unlike my exes, he's a decent, level-headed guy though he can be a bit overdramatic when it comes to financials. Growing up I've always dreamed of what my wedding dress will look like. I went wedding dress shopping with friends although my fianc...

AITA for refusing to pay for my boyfriend's food after he ruined my food photos?

I have an Instagram account dedicated to photos and short videos of food from local restaurants in my city. I don't turn meals into a whole photoshoot production when I go out, but I like to snap a few photos of everything as it comes out. I've got about 1000 followers, it's just a hobby for me but I have made friends with some other bloggers and we like to go out and get pics together and try...

AITAH for kicking my family out after they made my son cry for being gay?

My (37m) 15 year old son is gay. My wife and I are fully supportive of him. I thought my family was too but now I doubt that. They have been staying at my house for a few days since it's been a little while since we've seen each other in person. Everything was going great until yesterday. I was out running errands, when my son called me crying and asked me to come home. I asked what was wro...

AITA for asking to be charged for a man's haircut when I am a woman

I am a butch lesbian and for the past 12 years I have had a short, men's style haircut. I'm not talking about a pixie cut that requires a lot of styling and time. My sides are buzzed fairly short with the top a bit longer. It usually only takes about 10- 15 minutes for me to get a haircut. During that time every salon I've gone to has charged me for a full price women's cut. This has always an...

AITA for kicking my husband out of the delivery room?

My husband (34M) and me (32F) just had our first child today. We were in the delivery room together, all was going well, I was in a lot of pain, but he was really supportive. The midwife was asking us questions about the baby etc in between contractions just to help me ease my mind a little. Then she said if we are excited about the pregnancy being over and I said that yes, because it's been...

I asked my wife if we could cancel the appointment and go another day but she looked shocked that I even considered c...

AITA for specifically ordering food my wife hates so I don’t have to share?

I really really hate sharing food when I order out at restaurants or takeout. I always order just enough for myself so when someone grazes off my plate it makes me unreasonably upset. So my wife is a TERRIBLE food snatcher. She always says she’s not that hungry and orders a small side or nothing at all, then slowly devours the food I’ve ordered. So many times I’ve ordered steak and fries just ...

We have been talking more and more about marriage recently and what it would look like. For me part of the significance of marriage is becoming family with each other,...
