AITA for not letting my mother in law come over after she destroyed my Millennium Falcon Lego set?

I (38M) live with my wife (37F) and my seven year old son. I work as an engineer and my wife is a senior supervisor at a law firm. I have always loved Legos since I was a kid, and sure, it's kind of childish but it makes me happy so I've kept it as a consistent hobby throughout my adult life. In 2024 I spent months building the Millennium Falcon with my son. It's me and my son's pride and joy ...

AITAH for telling my family I wouldn’t fight in WWIII and that they shouldn’t expect me to?

So with all this WWIII talk going around, my family started joking about “when you get drafted” and how “every man in the house should be ready to defend the country.” I (23M) straight up told them I’m not going. Like at all. I said, “I didn’t even finish college, what makes you think I’m built for war?” Also, I didn’t cause these global problems, I’m not d**ng for oil, flags, or billionaire...

AITAH for refusing to make my SIL’s wedding cake for free?

I (29f) run a bakery business that I've built from the ground up during the past five years. It started as a hobby during college, but now it’s a registered business with steady clients, a dedicated workspace, and consistent orders during each month. I do mostly for weddings, birthdays, and other events. I take a lot of pride in what I do, and it’s not just “baking for fun” anymore. This is my...

AITA for fat shaming my husband's affair partner ?

I (45f) am also a plus-size woman so obviously my husband (44m) has a type. I discovered he's having an affair with this plus-size woman (49f). I was venting to both my sister (42f) and my best friend (44f). They're both thin women. My best friend had my back. A few days later, my sister said it was a bit hypocritical for me to talk about any woman like that. She asked me if I would be disa...

AITA for leaving my boyfriend “for no reason

I (26F) have been with my now-ex-boyfriend “Eric” (28M) for two years. Overall, we’ve had a good relationship, nothing crazy—until last night when things completely fell apart. We were out at a bar with some of his friends, just having a normal night. Drinks, food, the usual. Eric and his friend “Mark” (28M) were joking around, and Eric made a comment about how much Mark was eating. Som**hi...

AITAH for installing a lock on my fridge to stop my roommate from ‘stress-eating’ my food?

So, I (30F) live with my roommate, Sarah (29F), who has this habit of eating everything in the fridge, whether it’s hers or not. She always says it’s because she’s “stressed” and swears she’ll replace it, but my groceries vanish faster than a dating app match after mentioning kids. The last straw was when she ate my emotional support tiramisu. For context, I’d spent hours making this tiramisu ...

AITA for not reimbursing my friend after telling her she can’t come on our trip?

My partner (30M) and I (29F) are planning a trip with two of our couple friends to a destination a six hour drive away. We booked a super nice AirBnB that was $2,000 per couple total for four nights. We all paid a nonrefundable deposit back in January for $1,000 per couple. We verified with everyone that they were okay with not getting that money back no matter what. We all just paid the last $...

AITA for throwing an egg back in the face of a woman who threw eggs at me first?

I (M22) was walking home alone last night. Suddenly a group of young women (around my age) appeared and started to throw eggs at me. Didnt know them, never saw them before and i have no idea why they did it. Luckily for me, two of them wasnt even close, i managed to move my body before the third egg hit me, and the fourth made a really bad throw. I somehow caught the fourth egg, and out of i...

AITAH for supporting my friend who k**led a man?

I’m having an argument within my friend group, and basically being told I’m sick in my head. Long story short, I have a friend I went to college with and have stayed casual friends with for about 12 years. He’s not apart of my immediate friend group, but we talked every now and then. I mainly saw him every time I went to the doctor’s (which isn’t very often) since he worked there and I’d ta...

He was diagnosed in early childhood and, despite years of therapies and support, his cognitive abilities are similar to those of a toddler. Noah is a kind and gentle person, but he struggles to communicate his needs and experiences severe sensory sensitivities. On...

A bit of backstory: I have a daughter, "Lily" (6), who adores Clara. Clara initially told Lily she could be a flower girl, and Lily has been excitedly talking about her "big role" at the wedding ever since. Howev...
