AITH for telling my daughter that the birth of her baby bothers my wife?

I (57 M) have been married to my wife, Jennifer (55 F) for the last 10 years. I have a 25 year old daughter, Ca*sie. Jennifer and Ca*sie developed a great bond over the years which was beautiful to watch as Ca*sie hadn’t had a lot of mothering. Ca*sie’s mother became a hardcore drug addict and her parental rights had to be terminated completely. Ca*sie is all grown up now and they had a bea...

AITAH for refusing to cut off my hair because my 7 year old niece has cancer?

The t*tle probably already tells I'm the a*shole, which I probably am, but I just need other people's opinions on my situation. I am 17 male. Unfortunately, about 6 weeks ago, my niece got diagnosed with ALL. Considering she has pretty much had health issues since birth, words can not describe how bad I feel for my aunt, uncle, cousin and especially my niece. It basically broke their family...

My husband and I had a huge bust up and he thinks I’m the bad guy for calling the cops when he wasn’t violent. AITAH and is this a normal reaction?

My husband (44M) and I (40F) have been arguing a lot lately over housework. Today he lost it. He started throwing all my clothes on the floor from the drawers and cupboard, he went to the kitchen and pulled all the dishes and cutlery out and threw them on the floor, and he yelled at our kids to come out of their rooms and watch what he was doing. He went out for a walk for 10 mins to calm down...

AITAH for pushing back against partner as she called me a “coward” for wanting to use condoms

I’m 26 (M) and my partner is 23 (F). We’ve been in a relationship for 6 months, however she’s been calling and mocking me as a “coward” for wanting to use condoms. She wants to use pull out m**hod instead, but I pushed back and said it’s not effective. She said it’s much s*xier and a larger thrill not using condoms but I worry about pregnancy and if som**hing goes wrong. She seems to think usin...

That family asked me to bring dessert for everyone. I told them I won’t be able to bring anything because I’m traveling. And got sent back with a “wow ok, everyone else is bringing food”.

AITAH for refusing to pay for my boyfriend’s mom’s birthday dinner after she called me his “temporary girlfriend”?

I (27F) have been dating my boyfriend (30M) for about a year and a half. Things have been going well—he’s sweet, we talk about moving in together, and I’ve met his family a few times. His mom, however, has never liked me. I don’t know why. I’m polite, successful, I bring gifts, I make an effort—but she treats me like I’m just some random he picked up off the street. Last weekend, it was her...

AITA for kicking my fiancée out of the house after finding out she lied about being infertile?

My fiancée (30F) and I (33M) have been together for four years and engaged for one. Early in our relationship, she told me she was infertile due to a medical condition she had in her teens. I was fine with this, as I’ve never really wanted biological kids and figured we could explore adoption if we ever changed our minds. Fast forward to last week. I came home to a positive pregnancy test s...

AITA for not telling my roommate about my large salary, when I'm aware he's been struggling to pay rent?

I (28f) live in a 2-bedroom apartment with three roommates. It’s small and we step on each other's toes sometimes, but it works for us because we were all in graduate programs when we met and needed som**hing cheap. For the last six years, we’ve all split rent evenly, and I’ve been fine with that. Even when they all got jobs and I was still a resident, I didn’t once ask to adjust the rent. Now...

AITAH for telling my fiancé I don’t want his mom in our wedding photos because she’s been trying to get me to sign a prenup she wrote herself

I’m 27 and getting married next summer. My fiancé is 29 and we’ve been together for almost 5 years. His mom has never liked me, she’s very involved in his life and I’ve always felt like she sees me as some kind of threat to their bond. For the past year she’s been bringing up prenups constantly, not my fiancé, his MOM. She started sending me articles, books, even a sample prenup she wrote hers...

AITAH for sterilizing myself against my partner’s wishes?

Ok Reddit I need some unbiased outside opinions because I truly feel like I’m going crazy dealing with this situation. I (28F) and my partner (28M) have 2 children together and have been married for 8 years, for those 8 years I’ve either been on birth control when we were preventing pregnancy or tracking my cycle when we were trying to conceive (adding this just to give the community the context t...
