AITA for telling my wife’s stepdad our newborn son isn’t calling him ‘father’?

My (27M) wife’s (27F) father pa*sed away when she was 9 and her mom remarried to her stepdad when she was 15. My wife and her stepdad have always b**ted heads because he oversteps and has tried to force himself as a father figure in her life. When my wife’s mom married him they both made it very clear that he was never going to be her dad and he basically had no control over her and he has rel...

AITA for refusing to spend my savings to bail out my sibling from debt?

My sibling recently approached me, asking for help with their financial situation. Apparently, they’ve racked up a ton of debt over the past few years from “emergency” purchases and lifestyle choices. They’ve been struggling to manage it, and now it’s at a breaking point where creditors are contacting them non-stop. I’ve been careful with my money, working hard and saving for years to build...

AITA for refusing to have my SIL service dog at my wedding

I’m getting married in 5 months with my fiancé. And we sent our invitations last week. Context; my SIL (my husband’s brother’s wife) as a medical dog since she had brain cancer around 5 years ago. She has seizures where she feels dizzy 20 seconds beforehand and the goes unconscious for couple minutes. This happens 3-4 times a week. She has a dog who senses the seizure 1-2 minutes beforehand...

AITA for not listening to my wife and eating the wrong cookie?

I worked a ten hour shift yesterday, and had little to eat but bubblegum and some cheap hot chocolate. I came home to a voice message whereas my wife had picked up a cookie for me from the local bakery, and another specific cookie for our young daughter, which she could have when she came home from school. Overjoyed, partially because I was hungry and partially because my wife and I had been at...

AITA for telling another gym member to wear a bra?

I (25f) f**king hate wearing bras. They're uncomfortable, constricting, and expensive. With work from home, I spent the last year and a half basically never wearing a bra and got used to it. Quite frankly, my b**bs are nonexistent anyways. I recently started going to the gym again and started working out braless. I should note that up until now, no one has ever pointed out anything wrong wi...

AITA for telling my FIL that he cannot arrive at our house at 1am?

My FIL is staying with us for 3 weeks over the holidays, which I already find an unacceptable length but whatever. He told us he was planning on coming up this weekend from FL (he will be driving). My wife asked him what time he thinks he might be arriving and he said 1am. I said that is unacceptable and that he should leave at a different time or stop along the way and get a hotel. We have...

AITA for telling my boyfriend I would have preferred lunch over groceries when his card declined at the store?

Today, my boyfriend (30m) and I (30f) were working from home, and we didn’t have many groceries at home to cook a decent meal with. My boyfriend offered to go get me lunch as I was quite hungry but busy with work, a very nice offer which I joyfully accepted, asking for some $11 sushi from the grocery store. After a rather long period of time (the store is about 5 minutes away, and he came back...

AITA for refusing to eat from my colleague's vegan birthday cake?

I (29f) am working in an office and I have a colleague Bea, who routinely makes fun of vegans. I am vegan and i never make a fuss about food, i go to the same restaurants as my coworkers during lunch hour and i can always find myself som**hing to eat without announcing my d*etary choices. Bea keeps calling me out on it though and she's very condescending about it, she keeps saying i am just ha...

AITA for keeping a $300000 prize to myself when I originally planned to share it with my boyfriend?

My (26f) boyfriend (27m) is really into cars. He recently discovered a charity project where they fixed up an old Jaguar. It's worth around $300000. You could buy a ticket for $50 to enter and the money went towards a good cause. My bf is broke at the moment so I offered to go halves with the ticket. He didn't want to because then the car wouldn't be his completely. I wasn't too worried about i...

He did stuff like throw her purse, hide her wallet and got punished for it then told to not do it again because our hou...

AITA for showing my husband the text his mom sent me and causing her to be disowned?

To start me and my mother in law have never gotten along. She hates my guts and can be oversensitive often times. I tried not to give her the wrong impression about me but we just don't like each other. Sunday, I was feeling sick (I'm a new mom btw) and couldn't eat what she cooked for dinner and she seemeed to take it personal. She sent me a private message of what seemed to be her final straw...

AITA for insisting my boyfriend eat respectfully at a nice restaurant?

So my boyfriend (20M), L, and I (20F) have been dating for 7 months. We usually eat take out if we want to get som**hing to eat. However, I recently was promoted so we went to eat at a VERY nice Italian restaurant to celebrate. Like, one with an enforced dress code. My boyfriend is not the nicest of eaters, which can be kind of gross but I deal with it. However, I didn’t realize he had no t...
