AITA for expecting my ex-girlfriend to move out after she broke up with me, even though she has nowhere else to go?

I (27M) have been with my girlfriend Megan (26F) for 4 years, and we’ve lived together for 2 of them. We live in a house I inherited from my grandmother. Megan quit her job a while ago to pursue her master’s degree fulltime since her bachelor’s wasn’t opening any doors. I’ve been supporting her financially and emotionally while she’s been in school. To be clear, I never resented that. I wan...

AITA for refusing to share my homemade meals with my roommate’s boyfriend?

So I (25F) have a roommate, Sara (26F), who recently started dating this guy, Tom (28M). I cook most of my meals from scratch because I enjoy it, and it’s cheaper and healthier for me. Sara’s fine with it and occasionally I’ll share leftovers with her when I make extra, no problem. Lately, though, Tom has started coming over more often—almost daily—and has been helping himself to my food. H...

AITAH for Refusing to Let My Parents Use My College Fund for My Brother’s Wedding?

I (18M) just turned 18 and recently got accepted into my dream university. My grandparents set up a college fund for me when I was born, and it has enough to cover most of my tuition. My parents have always known about this fund, and I’ve been planning my education around it. A few weeks ago, my older brother (25M) announced that he’s getting married. My parents are paying for most of the w...

WIBTA for breaking up with my live-in GF who moved cross country to live with me for what she said about my sister and her kids?

I (29M) grew up in a fundamentalist Baptist family. At 15, I left home and moved in with my uncle. I have a little sister (24F) who I made sure to keep in contact with. I always let her know that if she ever wanted to get out from under our family, I would do whatever it takes to help her. I went cross country for college and grad school. While in grad school, I met my GF (26F) and we have bee...

AITAH for letting my perpetually late boyfriend miss a game he was excited about because I didn’t remind him to hurry up?

My boyfriend (28M) and I (27F) have been together for a few years, and he’s notorious for being late to things we plan together. He tends to get caught up in whatever he’s doing (usually som**hing with his car or playing a game) and loses track of time. Normally, I remind him multiple times about the timing so we don’t miss events, which sometimes makes me feel more like a manager than a girlf...

AITAH for being furious at my new wife?

I (28M) just married my wife (26F) last weekend. Throughout the planning and the wedding day, I stayed relaxed because I know things don’t always go perfectly and that’s okay. But there was one thing I asked my wife not to do: shove cake in my face during the cake cu***ng. I told her directly that I hated the idea, didn’t find it funny, and didn’t want frosting in my beard or on my suit. Sh...

AITAH for telling my wife to stop treating her sister so badly after her sister confessed to having feelings for me

My wife and I have been married for 10 years and together for 12. We have 2 children. My SIL, Jenna, is a single mom as her husband sadly pa*sed away 7 years ago. When Jenna’s husband pa*sed away, my wife and I provided support, both for Jenna and also for her daughter, because it was a really tragic incident. Over the years, we spent a lot of time over at Jenna’s house, and she would over come...

AITAH for refusing to switch seats on a plane, even though a mom started crying?

So, I (27M) was on a long-haul flight, about 10 hours, and I had booked a window seat months in advance. I get motion sickness, and the window helps a lot. Plus, I was planning to sleep for most of the flight. When I got to my seat, a woman (maybe mid-30s) was sitting there with her baby on her lap. I politely told her that she was in my seat, and she immediately looked uncomfortable. She said ...

AITAH for not forgiving my fiancé for his "Drunken Slip-Up" before our wedding?

I called-off my wedding. My fiancé and I have been together for five years and were supposed to get married in just two weeks. Everything was planned like the venue, the dress, the guests flying in from out of town. I was so excited to start our lives together. Then, his bachelor party happened. I wasn’t the type to put strict rules on bachelor/bachelorette parties. I trusted him. His best man...

AITAH for making a dairy free cake with eggs?

My friend invited me over for dinner. Our tradition is to bring food when invited to dinner. I asked if I should bring a dessert. She said that would be great but it needs to be dairy free because her daughter stopped eating dairy. I know a great cake recipe with no dairy. I brought it to the dinner and it was a big hit. My friend asked for the recipe and I told her. When I got to the eggs her ...

AITA for telling my girl that I'm uncomfortable with her wearing pasties to a concert?

The girl that I am seeing and I are going to see one of her favorite bands this weekend. She discussed that she was going to wear pasties and "t*ts out" for this band. Let's just say that she is proud of her "attributes" and I, uhh, really like them myself. However, I feel as if her choice of attire is just a little much. After a discussion about it, I truly feel like I let her down by not bei...
