AITA for refusing to share my lottery winnings with my extended family?

I (34M) recently won a significant amount in the lottery. It was a life-changing amount, but not the kind where you end up on the Forbes list. After paying off debts and setting up college funds for my kids, I’ve planned to invest the rest for future security. My family has always been pretty close-knit, and we’ve supported each other through tough times. Since my win, I’ve helped my immediate ...

AITAH for breaking up with my girlfriend after she said my vulnerability made her feel “unsafe”?

I’m 28 and had been dating my girlfriend (26) for about a year and change. I really thought we were on the same page. We had a great connection and just genuinely enjoyed each other’s company. I'd been noticing som**hing just a little "off" in the relationship the past month, though. Dunno what else to call it. Just som**hing was weird. There’s been a lot of s**t in my life recently—stressf...

AITA for “stealing” my sister’s wedding spotlight with my emergency C-section?

This past weekend, my younger sister got married. It was a huge event—over 200 guests, a fancy venue, the works. My husband and I attended, despite me being 38 weeks pr****nt. I was feeling fine, and my doctor had cleared me to go as long as I stayed close to home and didn’t overexert myself. During the reception, I started feeling some cramps. I thought they were just Braxton Hicks contraction...

AITA for considering ending my not terrible marriage because being a stepfamily just isn't working?

My husband (40m) was a widower when we met. I (36f) was a single woman who had never been married before. My husband has a daughter April (13) from his first wife.

And by okay I mean we weren't very close and she wasn't calling me mom o...

AITAH for breaking up with my boyfriend after having a terrible s**ual encounter?

So my name is lily, I'm 29, and I was with this guy who is 32. We had a pretty great relationship, I was really happy. One night, we were doing what most couples do, when all the sudden he put a lubricant on an area I've never wanted to have penetrated. Basically, I began saying "I really don't want to have that kind of s*x, I'm not comfortable", yet he didn't care. He just did it anyway. I wa...

AITA for purposefully sleeping with someone to completely END a 14 year relationship?

I 32 (F) was with my high school sweetheart 32 (M) for 14 years. He broke up with me the day before my birthday and 3 days before the anniversary of my mom's death. He felt like our life together had become very stagnant, and he wanted more out of life. Also he was having a "flirtation" with a married older woman at work. After the initial break up we kind of talked about it possibly being ...

I was close friends with my gf for a few years. Recently, she asked me out, which was weird cuz I don't think she ever saw me that way.

Some dates later, thing we're going good... until she had the "exclusivity" talk. I asked "Wait......

AITAH for refusing to pay for my coworker’s lunch after she “accidentally” ordered double?

A group of us decided to order takeout for lunch. We each placed our own orders on the app and agreed to Venmo one person so we wouldn’t have to do multiple transactions at pickup. I volunteered to pick up the food. When I got to the restaurant, the total seemed way higher than expected. I checked the receipt and saw that one coworker, *Sarah*, had ordered two full meals instead of one. Thinkin...

AITA for having my mother yell at me for having int*****rse with my girlfriend in MY own apartment when we’re both 26 years of age?

So, I (26M) live with my girlfriend (26F) in an apartment that I pay for. We've been together for three years, and our relationship is great. We're both working professionals, fully independent, and, like any normal couple, we even have an active s*x life. Enter my mother (54F).
