AITA for refusing to pay for my sister's husband's surgery with my inheritance/college money?

My sister (F27) and I (18F) lost our dad a year ago. He was my only parent, mom was never in mine or my sister's life. Dad left money (inheritance) for me and sister and she used her inhertance to get new cars and renovate her house. I live with my aunt right now cause my brother inlaw didn't let me stay with my sister. I'm planning on using my inhertance money to pay for college tuition (I've...

AITA for "pregaming" my wife's dinners?

My wife and I are both 32. Since we got married and moved in together five months ago, my wife has simply not made nearly enough food for me. This is not a kind of situation where I'm constantly agitated at her for incompetence or anything like that. I would be more than happy to microwave a burrito. I would be more than happy to whip up a peanut b**ter and jelly sandwich. But I can't. My w...

AITA for refusing to let my future husband lie about the house he and I purchased during his 'groom sp*ech'?

My fiancé (37M) and I (33F) got engaged few months ago. We're getting married soon and invitations were already sent out. right now we're focusing on much smaller details. We've also been busy moving into our new home that we purchased together (30% of his savings + 70% of mine). I have to say that saving up for this house took most of my savings and prevented me from enjoying the things I lov...

AITA for not kicking out my roommate just because my girlfriend thinks he might be trans?

I (22M) have a roommate (let’s call him Alex M23) who moved in about six months ago. I honestly never considered Alex may be trans, not that I would care if he was, but that's not the issue. He is a short guy and probably under 165cm, has a lot facial hair, muscles, and looks a lot like a short Henry Cavill imo. No one I know has ever brought up this idea before, I've had my friends and family...

AITA for selling my daughter's car after discovering her texting & driving?

When my daughter was 14, wife and I decided we would buy a car for her to use on her 16th if she proved herself to be responsible, got good grades, etc. There would be a "contract" of sorts to ensure we were all on the same page. The stipulations were continuing good grades, good att*tude, she could only bring one friend with her somewhere (to begin with), we had to know where she was, and the...

AITA for expecting Tequila in the Margaritas

My (35M) wife (33F) got invited to a party at her co-worker's house. I reluctantly went because the only person I would know was my wife. This is a relatively new job for her and wanted to be able to meet and mingle with her co-workers outside of work. Her understanding of it all was we didn't need to bring anything but ourselves. We show up and seems like a lively party, pool with a bar ar...

AITA for correcting my in-laws when they mispronounce my name?

I (27F) have a name that isn’t super common in the U.S., but it’s not that hard to pronounce. Think som**hing like “Leena,” but my in-laws keep saying “Lana.” It’s a small difference, but it makes my name sound completely different. I’ve been with my husband (30M) for five years, married for two, and his parents have *never* gotten it right. At first, I thought they just needed time to adjust. ...
