AITA for putting my dog's wee-wee pads on the bathroom floor b/c my BF has bad aim and keeps missing the toilet?

My boyfriend (30/M) and I (28/F) have been together about a year and when our city implemented lockdown for the virus, he decided to quarantine with me at my apartment as I live alone and have a nicer apartment and he has several roommates. Mostly it has been going well and thankfully we both still have jobs, except in the first few weeks I started noticing that the bathroom floor was suddenly ...

Woman Files Lawsuit Against Parents For Using Her Inheritance To Fund Brother's Wedding, Sparks Accusations Of Betrayal From Close-Knit Community

My great-aunt set up savings accounts for all of her female relatives. In our culture education for women is not really valued and she thought that was bu****it. She lived with her father in London where she was educated. She went on to attend university and became a doctor. She married a British man, they moved to America and had a great life. She funded the education of as many of her nei...

AITA for suggesting my 7yo name his new stuffed tiger "Tig Bitties"?

Pretty much the t*tle. My son won a stuffed tiger at the fair last night and said he had named him "Tig". He asked me what its last name should be. I couldn't help myself and just instantly replied "Bitties". Then I turned to my wife to share a smirk, but she was p**sed and quickly suggested a few different last names, but my son insisted that he liked "Bitties", so now his Tiger is Tig Bittie...

Parents Disappointed In Their Daughter After She Refused To Visit Her Special Needs Stepsister In The Hospital

I’m 15 years old. I have a stepsister who is a couple years older than me and she is really seriously disabled. I’m not sure what’s wrong with her because no one ever wants to discuss it with me but she’s non verbal, breaks her bones a lot, and has severe epilepsy and will have many fitting episodes. She also doesn’t understand stuff. That’s probably the easiest way to put it. She’s just a hum...

AITA for buying an extra airline seat (and utilizing it) even though I don't need it?

I hate flying to the point that I will gladly drove 10-15 hours to avoid a 4 hour flight. It's not that I'm scared of flying, I just hate everything from the security theater to the cramped seats that leave me sore for days. So I only fly if I can buy a second seat (or third if I'm flying with my wife). It lets me stretch my legs out if needed, not feel trapped mentally, and not sit next to ann...

AITA for telling my waitress's manager she did a great job?

I met a girl online and we clicked, and have gone on a couple dates. Two nights ago was our third date and I was treating her to dinner at a local burger place in the city. Nothing fancy, I just wanted some good conversation over a tasty meal. This girl is a knockout, has the rare quality of being a great listener, and isn't obsessed with herself. She's funny, charming, and smart. We had had s...

AITA for refusing my future sister in law's request to dye my hair for my brother's wedding?

My future SIL Liz has turned into a bridezilla and is going to war with everyone over every s***id thing. My natural color is red. I love my hair. Liz is a blonde but she loves to have red hair and in fact ever since meeting me she's been d**ng her hair almost exactly my color. I don't mind, I think it's weird that she does it but I don't have a monopoly over this particular shade of red and sh...

AITA for demanding my husband to pay me the $1000 dollars he spent behind my back?

My husband (33) and I (31) used to have a 2 income home but in 2020 we've lost our home and one of our incomes (his). My husband has an expensive habit of going to the spa for a weekly ma*sage session. we live in an urban area so this stuff is ridiculously expensive. A single session is 250$, and he has to have it every week so that'd be nearly 1000 a month!. I offered him to have his sessi...

AITA for reporting my car stolen when my sister took it after I told her not to?

My sister's car broke down six months ago because of her own poor decision-making regarding a mechanic's advice. I offered her my car temporarily since I could bike to work while she needed to drive. She never fixed her car, claiming she was saving money, but spent her paychecks instead. My parents even offered her a loan, which she refused. She has been abusing my generosity, taking my car al...

My Parents Missed My Entire Wedding Because They Were Late and Now They Are Blaming Me

I got married on Sat**day, and it was absolutely amazing except for one thing: my parents showed up late. They knew the ceremony time, and my husband and I made it very clear to everyone, both in the invites and in person, that we were going to start exactly at that time. The venue cost us a lot of money (we paid for the entire wedding ourselves) and we were only able to use it for a limited a...
