AITA for silently changing my son's name after my brother and SIL gave my nephew the name too?

My wife and I had our son 4 months ago. We had a name chosen early in her pregnancy. We kept that name to ourselves but my SIL (married to my brother) found it out when she was still pr****nt with my nephew (almost 7 months old). She never said how. She just told us she loved the name, congrats and she couldn't wait to meet him. We a*sume she snooped because she was not told. I even mentioned ...

AITA for kissing my husband in front of my family to prove a point?

I (29F), an American nurse, am married to my amazing husband (30M), who’s Arab and works as a software engineer. We’ve been married for a few years and have one child together. To be honest, my husband is incredibly handsome—he’s tall, with olive skin and striking green eyes. I admit I’ve dealt with some jealousy now and then because, well, women notice him a lot. We actually met because of...

AITA for Canceling My Parents’ 40th Anniversary Party After They Refused to Invite My Wife?

I (32F) have been with my wife, Emily (34F), for five years, married for two. My parents have never fully accepted my relationship, though they insist they still “love” me. They didn’t come to our wedding, claiming it was “too painful” for them, but I tried to move past it. Recently, they asked me to plan their 40th anniversary party. I handled everything, the venue, catering, guest list, decor...

AITAH for being resentful toward my husband after he pressured me into having a baby I didn’t want?

I (31F) have been married to my husband (33M) for six years. Before we got married, we had a clear agreement that we weren’t going to have kids. I’ve never wanted to be a parent, and I thought he felt the same. About two years ago, he started changing his mind. At first, it was little comments like, “Wouldn’t it be fun to have a little one running around?” Then it turned into serious conversati...

AITA for going off at my husband after finding out he planned to spend New Year's without me and the kids?

I (F, 30) have been married to my husband (M, 32) for 7 years, and we have two kids, ages 5 and 3. We’ve always spent New Year’s together as a family. I love the time we get to just be with the kids and enjoy each other’s company. It's honestly one of the few times I feel like we can all slow down and just be present. So, this year, I was in the mood to clean out my husband’s car. It’s a co...

I found out my husband's present for my bday and hate it. Aitah?

I know I'll sound ungrateful, but I need an advice. I'll turn 45 in a few weeks and I casually found out what my husband is going to give me as a present. Flash back: when we started dating, he had a 2-seats Bmw he loved. He had one major accident with it, spent a month in hospital, had it repaired, then it was stolen three times (!!!). It caused a lot of fights and pain between us, and also a...

AITAH for not telling my gf flashing was a break up offense?

So, earlier this year, my gf flashed a band during a concert. This bothered me a lot, and I told her that I heavily disliked this. She apoligized, and told she won't do it again. During Halloween last night, we went to a party, and she went wild and flashed some strangers. I didn't say anything right there and then, but once I took her home, I mentioned if she remembered our talk about flashing...

AITA for refusing to babysit my sister’s miracle baby after what she did to my dog?

So my sister (32F) had a baby last year after years of struggling with infertility. We were all happy for her.

Everyone in the family loves him. Even my sister used to until the baby came along. One time I brought Ben...

My Childhood Bully Demanded I Forgive Her And Called Me Transphobic When I Said No

When I was a in middle school, I was viciously bullied by this boy, who I’ll call Z. He spread rumours about me, called me s***id and useless every chance he got, and made school a living h**l. It’s been 12 years, and Z has since come out as MtF transgender. She messaged me over social media and asked to meet up. We went out for coffee, where she apologised for bullying me. It was along the...

AITAH for refusing to help my mother-in-law after feeling like she treats me like a servant, even though my husband’s mad about it?

I’ll try to keep this short, but honestly, I don’t even know where to begin with this one. For some background, I (F) have been married to my husband for a few years now, and things have been mostly good between us. But there's one huge issue that's been causing a ton of friction: his mom. When we first got married, I wanted to be on good terms with her, obviously. So whenever she needed he...

Successful Female Engineer Demands $100k From Her S*xist Parents As An Apology For Telling Her She's Not Allowed To Go To College Because She's A Woman

I was raised by parents who believed (religiously and just culturally) in rigid gender roles. Dad should work, mom should stay home with the kids. I’m the only girl and have 3 brothers. Because of their expectation I’d stay home with kids, they never valued my education, educational achievements or emphasized things beyond domestic sk**ls. I’m the second youngest. By the time I was in high scho...
