AITA for falsely accusing a veteran of stolen valor, when she couldn't give any details about her service?

I (34m) served as a Captain in the Marine Corps. I have left the service, and right now I am doing an MBA. One of my cla*smates (31F), who we'll call "J", is very gentle, very soft-spoken and una*suming. J and I were working together on a case study once, and I started opening up to her about my military service and all the lessons that I've learnt from the Corps. J enthusiastically told me "t...

AITA for purchasing my guy friend his dream birthday present and "outshining" his girlfriend in the process?

My guy friend, "Tom," has been one of my best friends since college. We're in our mid 20's now and are both currently in committed relationships with long term partners. I have never had feelings for Tom nor has he ever had feelings for me. Since college, Tom has been a huge watch fanatic. Two months ago, he was showing me this stunning vintage watch and made an off-handed comment about how he ...

AITA for requesting prayer breaks at work because my religious coworkers do even though I’m not religious?

I’m an atheist who works in an international company in a very busy city. I have a lot of coworkers who come from a certain religious background that requires them to pray multiple times a day. I would say 90% of my coworkers share this faith and maybe 70-80% of them take the time out to go pray everyday. They get to leave the office 2 or 3 times in a day for 10 mins a piece for prayer and t...

AITA for a dry wedding and telling someone he has an alcohol problem?

I (25F) am getting married. My fiancé(25 M) and I decided on a dry wedding since we do not drink and see no point in spending money for alcohol. We were debating about getting a cash bar but then decided to no alcohol at all. (There will be a wide range of other drinks, not just juice and soda, provided). We informed our guests via invitations with som**hing along the lines of “You don’t ha...

AITA thinking of leaving marriage because step-daughter got herself knocked up...

My (32M) wife's (35F) daughter (16F) recently announced she is pr****nt. She claims she doesn't know who the father is. I suspect she actually does and doesn't want to say, for whatever reason. I mean how much unprotected s*x is a 16 year old really having? It can't be that hard to narrow it down for goodness sake. Anyway, moving on. She is adamant on keeping the baby. Abortion is out of th...

Right now both of my kids (16-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter) and my ex are extremely mad at me because I won't give up my appointed time with them. My son won't even talk to me and my daughter is crying all the time. A little backstory. Me and my ex divorced shortly after my daughter was born. I blame him for it and he blames me. We ended up with a 50/50 custody agreement switching every...

AITA for telling daughter I'm disappointed in her and won't take her out to a second restaurant?

My daughters 14 & 16 are on the same dance team. Their team won a compet*tion on Sunday, and we were all so excited and proud of them. After the compet*tion, my dad suggested we go out to eat and said he would pay for wherever we wanted. Older daughter, who loves seafood, has been asking for years to go to a restaurant that has unlimited crab legs, but it's a very pricy restaurant, so we've nev...
