AITA for making my ex a birthday cake even though his girlfriend told me she had already ordered one?

I’m an amateur baker and I like to make cakes for people for their birthdays.

AITA for Refusing to Co-Sign My Sister’s Mortgage After My Parents Went Behind My Back?

I (28F) have been busting my b**t for years to save for my own house. I work in software, so I make decent money, but it still takes forever to build up a good down payment. Meanwhile, my younger sister (25F) is in grad school with barely any credit. Our parents (both mid-50s) found a house near them and decided she needs it. They made an offer—without telling me—and now the deal only goes thr...

My husband (31) was in the hospital for a surgery that involved anesthesia. His mom came to wait with me there but didn't speak to me because we have been having some minor disagreements. She offered me coffee but I declined politely. Hours after the surgery, we were told only one person goes into the room for the day since he was still under anesthesia. From what I understand he woke up ca...
