AITA for choosing to not get involved when my daughter threw away my wife's shampoo collection?

I 39, got married to my wife "Nelly" 36, months ago. I have to say that Nelly and my daughter (her stepdaughter) "Megan" 16, never gotten along. They have lots of disagreements and nothing in common and it was obvious since the first say they met but I didn't do anything about it thinking they'd move past their differences and warm up to each other the longer they spend time together. I was wr...

AITA for not wanting to go to my brother's wedding because my stepson isn't invited?

I (m28) have been with my fiancee (f30) for a year an a half. I have a stepson (4) that I adore and treat as my own. My older brother's wedding is soon. I was intending on going but after I found out that my stepson was not invited, we started having issues. My brother explained that it's the nature of the wedding they chose which is child free but my fiancee was upset that this rule was forced...

AITA for suggesting that my sister inlaw is lying about burying my brother inlaw's wedding ring with him?

Basically, my brother inlaw (my husband's brother) pa*sed away from cancer 2 weeks ago. His widow/wife aka sister inlaw has never really been on good terms with my inlaws/her inlaws. They were having issues in the past and now from what I gather, my mother inlaw is planning on going to court for grandparents rights to get visitation of the kids. My inlaws had been asking my sister inlaw to ...

AITA for wanting a childfree wedding?

I (22f) am getting married soon. Since my fiancé and I are childfree and because we plan to have alcohol at our wedding, we decided to have a childfree wedding with the age cutoff at 21. This requirement so far has gone over well with most of our invitees (most of our invitees don’t even have kids anyway so it doesn’t make a difference for them). I do have one friend “Mel” (20f) that I had t...

AITA for asking my son and his STBW to pay to spend their honeymoon in my winter cabin?

My late wife and I invested in a small winter cabin years ago. I'm the owner now after her pa*sing. My son (22) is getting married to his STBW in a month. They have no money for a destination honeymoon, they were barely able to plan the wedding. He asked if they could spend their honeymoon in my winter cabin and I agreed but under the condition that they pay me. He acted all shocked and tried ...

AITA for walking out of my sister's wedding as an organist because she told me last minute that she didn't have any vegan options?

I am 19M, and my sister (22F) got married about a week ago. She was rather mean to me growing up, and I still don't like her very much. Several months ago, we were all having dinner as a family. I was asked by my sister if I could be the organist for her wedding. She told me that she can't pay me, but that I can have food at the buffet. Since most of the gigs that I do are paying ones, I in...

AITA for saying "F U" to my wife for her medical advice to me?

So to start, we have an 18 month old baby that we take care of, but I wake up groggy and grumpy every day and have been for decades. So when I finally had the chance to take a sleep study, I jumped on it. Now, I got the results back 2 days ago, and it came back positive. Obstructive sleep apnea. I wasn't surprised. What did surprise me was the price of a machine, nearly $900. So I booked an app...

AITA for taking up 2 seats on a bus?

I ride the bus because I can't afford a car, insurance, gas, etc. I'm 19F and live in the US. For context. A couple days ago I was on a bus that wasn't that busy. Not empty, but there were multiple unused seats and no one had to stand. I had just gone shopping and had heavy bags that were hard to carry and hardly fit in front of my legs. So I sat in one seat and placed my bags on the seat ne...

If it's relevant her parents are Indi...

AITAH for thinking that marriage counselling is just my wife trying to break up with me through a proxy?

I [39M] and my wife [36F] are obviously going through a less than awesome marital phase, and she's suggested that we try couples counselling. Other than the fact that it sounds absolutely horrible, I'm pretty sure there's zero point. My wife is pretty much perfect. She's smart, kind, funny, well liked by everyone who meets her. She's a professionally successful doctor, and I'm an unemployed ...

AITA for telling her to get over herself?

I got a dog 2 years ago (Corgi) and she is very much so my side kick. I've been with my fiance for 5 years. My fiance does like the dog but she is currently pr****nt and experiencing ma*sive migraines and has been snapping at everything. So every morning when I get up I find my fiance already awake and at the table relaxing. As soon as I get out of the bed, my dog goes nuts. It's like super ene...
