My Parents Took My Clothes As Punishment So I Told Them To Keep Them Forever

I got in trouble at school this fall, I'm a junior in high school. I smoked w**d with a guy in the woods after school once and got caught. I also made out with him a couple times and my parents found out about that too. As punishment my parents took away a lot of my things; all my clothes except 3 pairs of plain jeans and 3 plain black shirts and my coat. And all my makeup and hair stuff, pu...

Enter Tyler (40M). She met him through a hiking group about a year ago. He’s married, outdoorsy, and they bonded ov...

AITAH for telling my wife I want part of her property if she wants me to quit my job?

We don’t have kids yet, but she recently told me she wants to start a family soon, and that when we do, she thinks it would be best if I quit my job to manage the household and future children. I was surprised because we’ve alwa...

AITA for demanding that my niece, or her parents, pay me back for the hundreds of dollars of perfume she stole from me?

I have a perfume collection that I started when I was a teenager slinging burritos as my first job. I have over 400 bottles at this point, I take great pride in my collection, and I use it. I’m also happy to give people decants (samples) of most of my bottles, let them sample a spray or two, give some bottles as gifts, etc. What I have a HUGE f**king issue with is my 17 year old niece comin...

AITAH for not getting my boyfriend breakfast and sleeping instead?

My (22M) boyfriend is upset with me (23F) because instead of getting him breakfast a little over an hour before I had to be at work I decided to continue sleeping. For some context, I work from home and usually don’t get up until about 10-15 minutes before I need to clock in. Since I work from home and luckily I don’t have to be on camera, I just get up, walk my dog, wash my face, and then clo...

AITA for telling my husband to wipe better after p**ping?

My husband (39m) & I (39f) are in a days-long fight about his toilet habits. We’ve been married for 13 years. It has not been all rainbows & sunshine, so we’ve been going to couples counseling for a few months now. The argument: Sometimes when I go to the bathroom, I see that my husband p**ped, but forgot to flush. I didn’t say anything at first bc he works hard & he’s a busy man. However...

AITA for canceling my financial support for my son’s wedding after his fiancée catfished him "to test his loyalty"?

My son (23) got engaged a few months ago. Recently, he admitted to me that he had been texting with a girl he met on Tinder. That alone already shocked me... he's engaged, and that's obviously not acceptable behavior. But here's the twist: the girl on Tinder was actually his fiancée. She made a fake account to “test” whether he would stay loyal - and when he flirted back, she confronted him. ...
