AITAH for telling my wife there’s nothing inappropriate about being in the delivery room for my sister and she cannot forbid me from doing it

Last week, my sister asked if I could be in delivery room with her when she gives birth. I was surprised with the request and asked about her husband, and she said she and her husband are going through some issues. She also said her husband freaks out a lot and she wasn’t sure he could handle this. I then asked about our mom, and she said she didn’t want to put any more burden on our mom. I...

Update: AITAH For Not Giving My Girlfriend My Social Security Number So She Can Run A Background Check On Me

I decided to call her on new years eve and give things one last chance because I'm the type of person that needs to know I did everything I could before I walk away from a relationship. And some people said she has valid concerns, she just went about them the wrong way, which made sense. I told her I understand and respect your need to ensure your safety, but I'm not willing to potentially ...

AITA for telling my mom my d**d dad can't dance with me at my wedding when she told me she thought I'd ask my dad?

My dad d*ed when I (29f) was 10. My mom's been remarried since I was 14. Her husband is Mike. Mike's fine but he's not my dad. He wanted to be when he married my mom and she wanted that too but I didn't. And because of that there's an underlying tension surrounding my relationship with Mike. They both felt like I should have allowed him to take on the role of a dad to me and they've always exp...

AITA for not giving my brother money for rent after my mom shamed me for prioritizing my own family?

I (28F) have two kids, 3 and 7, and a husband (30M). We’re doing our best to stay on top of things financially, but it’s hard. We both work full-time, and we’re saving for the future, paying off debt, and just trying to make sure our kids have everything they need. The last few years have been a struggle, but we’re getting there. A few hours ago, my brother (mid-20s) called me, and he asked...

AITAH for canceling my wedding after finding out my fiancé had a secret second bank account?

I called off my wedding last month after discovering that my fiancé who I’d been with for 4 years, had a completely hidden second bank account and I’m still getting a lot of backlash from friends and family who think I overreacted. We had been planning our wedding for a year. Deposits were made, guests invited, dress bought. We had already merged most of our finances in preparation for marriag...

AITA for leaving my boyfriend after finding a woman in our bed?

So, I (26F) am going on a trip to London with my sister today. I’ve been staying with her since yesterday because she lives close to the airport. I realized I forgot my pa*sport at my apartment, where my boyfriend (27M) and I live together, and I had time to go back and get it, so I did. I texted him this morning to let him know I was coming back to get my pa*sport, but he didn’t respond. When ...

AITA for calling an ambulance, which got my coworker fired?

I (27 F) was at a group work training for my job this past weekend. The company put a bunch of us up in a hotel and had us attend a day-long presentation about our goals for the next quarter. For context: We're in sales, it's highly compet*tive, and the group consisted of mostly older employees with me being the youngest. After a full day of meetings, a few of us decided to get dinner at a res...

AITA for outing my “straight” best friend after he hooked up with me?

I (22M) have been best friends with “Jake” (23M) since high school. Jake has always identified as straight and has even poked fun at me being gay when we were younger—nothing overtly hateful, but stuff like, “You’re lucky I’m secure in my masculinity, bro,” or “Don’t fall in love with me, haha.” Recently, Jake went through a bad breakup with his girlfriend of three years. He was heartbroken and...

AITAH For kicking my wife of over a decade out of the house for cheating on me again?

My wife (30f) and I (31m) were high school sweet hearts. We moved out of our parents houses together, got married, had kids, and grown a lot, at least I thought. Over the course of our relationship, she has cheated on me at least a dozen times, sneaking off with old flames or coworkers to make-out and more. Some of these times, I only found out about years after being married. For some reas...
