AITA for telling my boyfriend that if he’s uncomfortable with my daughter’s body then he isn’t mature enough to live with us?

I want to start out by saying that before allowing my boyfriend of 5 years to move in I made absolutely sure that my daughter (17f) was okay with it. She and him have always been close, and she’s told me every time I ask that she really likes him and he’s great. About a week ago I came home from work to them arguing. I asked my daughter what was going on and she said to ask him. I did and he sa...

AITA for not deleting all my backups of my art like dad told me to and letting him punish me instead?

I (15) like digital drawing a lot. My grandparents put me in art cla*ses when I was 8 to give me som**hing to focus on after my mom d*ed. It really helped and I feel like I've grown enough to make it a job some day. I already do some small commissions when I want some money. I keep all my stuff on my laptop and I have it all backed up so I can keep it. In November my dad went through my lap...

AITAH for calling the cops on my girlfriend?

My girlfriend (24) moved into my (21) apartment last week. Everything was great, we met with the landlord today to talk about adding her to my lease. We had what started as a small argument tonight. She turned off my TV while I was playing a game, not a huge deal but still frustrating. I looked at her and said “really babe?” and she stormed off to my bedroom yelling about how it was an acciden...

AITA for "ruining" my coworker's big reveal by guessing it right away?

So, I (24M) work in an office where we all get along pretty well. One of my coworkers, “Amy” (30F), is super into dramatic announcements. She once revealed she got a dog by bringing in balloons shaped like paw prints. She’s fun, and we all humor her because, honestly, the office can get boring. Last week, Amy was *bursting* with excitement. She kept hinting she had “HUGE news” but wouldn’t ...

AITA for refusing to let my brother's family stay with me after they lost their home?

I (34M) own a modest 3-bedroom house that I bought five years ago. I live alone and use one bedroom as my home office (I WFH full-time) and the other as a guest room/hobby space where I keep my music equipment and gaming setup. My brother (38M) and his wife (36F) recently lost their home due to financial issues. They have three kids (12F, 10M, 7F). Their financial problems stem from a series of...

AITAH for refusing to help my girlfriend pay off her credit card debt before we move in?

I’m 30 and my girlfriend’s 28 here is my dilemma. So we’ve been together almost three years. Things have been good overall. We’ve talked a lot about the future and were planning to move in together soon like actively browsing apartments kind of soon. Then last week she tells me she has around $9,000 in credit card debt. I didn’t know about it before. I asked why she didn’t mention it earlier a...

AITA my wife became emotionally abusive since giving birth, she topped it off by cheating, now she is begging me to reconsider

I (28m) have been married to my wife (27f) for 2 years together for four. 14 months ago we had our first baby, she hasn't gone back to work and I have been the sole breadwinner (her choice), and since she gave birth my wife became a nightmare to deal with. She became irritable, angry at me for the smallest reasons, complains about everything, everything is somehow my fault, all she does is hold...

AITA for recording my wife without her consent?

So, this happened a couple of days ago, and honestly, I’m not sure if I went too far. My wife (29F) and I (31M) got into a ma*sive argument. It started out over som**hing small, like ch**es or bills—I can’t even remember, to be honest—but it escalated fast. She was getting really worked up, like full-on screaming at me, and I admit, I was yelling too. Here’s where I might’ve messed up. My w...

AITAH for still not letting my girlfriend know that my family is wealthy?

I (26M) have been dating (let's say Emma) (25F) for 3 months now. Things are great between us but she has no idea my family is very wealthy. My family's business is agriculture and I don't wanna mention any name due to privacy reasons, but let's say they're one of the biggest companies in the states. I grew up with money (private school, nice vacations and all that stuff) but my parents raised ...

AITA for leaving after my in-law asked me to move out because I didn’t cook lunch one time?

Two years ago, my sister pa*sed away, leaving behind two boys, David (12) and Peter (7). My brother-in-law was struggling to juggle everything, and he was looking to hire a maid to help care for the kids. I couldn’t stand the thought of someone else raising them when they’re my blood, so I offered to step in. For two years, I’ve been taking care of them as if they were my own. Every day, I’...

AITA for wanting to split inheritance money equally between my kids when my wife wants to prioritize one?

Recently came into some money and facing a difficult situation with my wife about how to distribute it between our three children. I believe the fairest approach is to split it equally three ways. My wife, however, wants to give a larger portion to one of our kids. The money is enough to make a meaningful difference in each child's life if split evenly. While I understand the instinct to gi...
