AITA for making my daughters wear dresses when they visit their grandparents?

My in-laws are what you would call traditional. They seem to think the world should have stopped 50 years ago, and think everthing since then is evil. They aren't r***st (that I know of) or outwardly b**oted, but they just are very old fashioned. My husband and I have three children (16f, 14f, 10m) and we go to visit all their grandparents since they live close. Here's the issue, they don't lik...

I have Irish great, great grandparents. I live in England, as has all of my relatives since 1910.

AITA for not caring when my friend came out of the closet?

My friend is obviously gay. He does nails with the girls, he follows make-up tutorials on YouTube, speaks in a higher tone of voice, and flails around a lot. He also gushes with the girls in our group when they bring up K-Pop celebs (guys) and joins them for shopping when we split up at the mall. We (the guys) know he's gay, the girls most certainly do, and it's pretty much an open secret at th...

AITA for putting an outside lock on my bathroom to prevent my wife from using it?

My wife [25F] and I [31M] bought a house together about six months ago. This is our first time living together. Our house is an old American house that has been reformed many times. As a consequence of this, it has a silly layout where there are two bathrooms right next to each other that share the same wall. When we pulled the trigger on buying it, we made an agreement that I'd take the bathr...
