AITA for getting upset that my sister’s fiancé pulled me aside and patted me down at their wedding?

I’m 24 and I’m an addict who has been in recovery for the past six months. I used and used until I was basically in poverty and my older sister helped bail me out more than once. She’s my best friend and I know it hurt her a lot to see me like that. She also met her fiancé two years ago and he really only knew me as the junkie brother then. He’s not my biggest fan to say the least considering ...

My Parents Kept Shaming Us For Living Together So I Exposed Their Pregnancy Secret At Christmas Dinner

I also work hand in hand with the doctors and midwives to create a healthy maternity, birth, and postpartum situation. My fiancee is completing her residency. We live together and have for a few years now. We aren't in any hurry to get married. We originally had p...

AITA for going “bridezilla” after my bridesmaid spilled wine on my wedding dress?

I (27 F) got married a month ago. My dress was this long, lacy gown that my mom wore at her wedding. My mom pa*sed away about 2 years ago. Because the dress was so important to me, I had a big plan to keep it safe from any damages. I would only wear the dress at the wedding itself, and I would switch to a more casual dress for the reception. When I was wearing the dress, I wouldn’t eat or d...

AITA for telling my husband he exaggerated when he said my kids ruined his daughter's birthday?

Last week was my stepdaughter's (SD) 14th birthday. She was in the hospital days prior for a medical issue and now she's better. My husband threw her a small birthday party. Unbeknowest to me, my boys (16) & (12) decided to pull a funny prank and mess with the birthday cake that they made for her. Instead of adding icing on the cake, they added mayonnaise. It didn't go well and my SD's reac...

AITA for yelling at a little girl to get out of my face

My newborn's pediatrician is always so crowded in terms of size of waiting room versus number of people waiting. It requires a certain amount of etiquette re: controlling your kid, because there are no toys, no play area, no real space for shenanigans. Enter lady with four kids: A newborn, two toddlers, and a kindergarten aged kid (little girl in question here). She really really should have br...

Aita for refusing to attend an apology dinner after my mother in law called me a bad mother at my son's funeral?

I lost my son to conge***al heart disease and he did not survive the open heart surgery at the age of 1 year and 6 months. He was the greatest blessing I had in my life. Everyone kept telling me things will get easier with time. I know that no matter how much time goes by I'll still be missing my baby and everything sweet about him. Mother in law and I were in constant conflict. Things alway...

AITA for ordering meals for my children when we go out with friends?

My husband and I have two children (19 and 17). We go out with our friends (two other couples) every other week and then on the weeks we do not go out with them, we have a date night and then a family dinner out. We always get separate checks, so each couple pays for their own food/drinks, we find it is just easier to do it that way. On the weeks that we do not take the kids (or ask if they...

AITA for telling coworkers extremely bluntly why I'm not participating in the office weight loss bet?

Someone got the brilliant idea to make an office d*et bet due to COVID gains, with people pooling in their money to see who can lose the most weight by Thanksgiving. I am one of 7 people not participating. Lots of preggos, some bodybuilders, and people who maintained their weight who aren't interested. Since I've visibly gained, they thought I'd want to participate. I didn't. Jen, in charge...

Aita For leaving in an Uber after my engagement party?

My fiance and I got engaged a week ago. It was an absolute disaster. I never wanted a party, but my fiance's mom insisted and wanted to have the engagement party at a restaurant that is expensive (to me). She made my fiance pull money out of his savings account to buy a house just so she could show herself off to her family. She picked a restaurant of her choice, invited her whole family while...

AITA for not telling my fiancée about a secret room in our apartment?

I recognize the t*tle sounds a little ridiculous. The situation is less so. I was very fortunate to be in a position to buy an apartment straight out of college. It's a weird unit on a high floor of a weird building, but I've gut-renovated it and made it really nice. One aspect of my home was created just to fulfill a childhood fantasy. A secret room! It's simple— a flush mount bookcase put ...

AITA for insisting that my boyfriend pay me for breaking my $3,500 model ship?

My F/33 Dad pa*sed away and left me one of his last and favorite ship model, I had it on display in my living room. but for some reason I never actually mentioned it to my boyfriend M/37 of 6 months. Maybe because we don't live together and he don't visit often. The other day he and his friends came over to my place to celebrate his birthday. They got drunk and started throwing the sofas pi...
