AITAH for feeling disrespected by my husband’s jokes about me having a c section?

I had an emergency c-section seven months ago with our first baby. It was a painful experience, but thankfully, our baby is healthy. Ever since then, my fiancé has made constant “jokes" about how I “took the easy way out” of childbirth or how “real women push through the pain.” At first, I thought he was just clueless and tried to explain how dangerous and terrifying the whole thing was for me,...

AITAH for giving my daughters one week to leave my house after what they did to their half brother?

I have two daughters. Both over 20. They graduated college and moved back in with me because they couldn't find a job. The house is my late husband's house Robert. For context: Their dad and I got divorced 9 years ago. I got remarried to Robert and had my 7 year old son Tom. The girls didn't have a good relationship with Robert. In fact, they hated him because of what their dad filled their he...

AITA for refusing to let my boyfriend move in after only three months of dating?

I (32F) have been dating my boyfriend Ryan (35M) for a little over three months. Things have been going well—we see each other a few times a week, enjoy each other’s company, and have been gradually getting to know each other. About two weeks ago, Ryan brought up the idea of moving in together. I was surprised. Three months feels way too soon for som**hing that big, especially considering I’ve ...

Cousin offered to photograph our wedding “as a gift” — now he’s billing us. AITA for refusing to pay?

Got married recently. My cousin is a professional wedding photographer and said “As my gift to you two, I would be happy to take the photos at your wedding.” We told him we didn’t want him to feel obligated to do that or have him feel burdened with work during this celebratory weekend. He said he was happy to do it. We repeatedly expressed how grateful we were and made sure to tag his bus...

AITAH for leaving my family without a turkey after my mom criticized my fiancé and said she wouldn’t be a good wife and mother?

A few weeks ago, I got engaged to my fiancé Julia. I love her very much and 100% sure she’s the one I want to marry. I’ve always been close to my mom, but sadly, Julia has never been her cup of tea. Julia is very career oriented, and cannot cook or decorate to save her life. My mom, on the other hand, prides herself on being a great cook and having the house perfect. In the past, she’s expr...

AITA for refusing to let my sister wear white to my wedding and kicking her out when she showed up in it?

I (27F) got married two weeks ago, and it was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. My sister (31F), who I have a complicated relationship with, decided to test me in the worst way possible. We’ve never been close, she’s always tried to one-up me, even during family events. It’s exhausting, but I figured she’d at least behave at my wedding. Months ago, when I sent out the dress code, ...

AITAH for telling my wife to stay in our own home instead of sleeping at her sister’s all the Time?

I don’t even know where to start. I’m tired. Like… soul deep tired. Every night, I get home from work exhausted, sweaty, starving and guess what? I open the door to a quiet, dark house. No wife. No dinner. No note. Just me and the same cold silence. She’s always at her sister’s. Like, always. Not just visiting for a few hours sleeping there. Most nights of the week. Sometimes I don’t see h...

AITA for refusing to do my boyfriend's laundry after he told his mom I "don't do anything" around thee house?

So, I (26F) live with my boyfriend (28M). We’ve been together for 3 years, living together for 1. We both work full-time, but I also cook, clean, do laundry, grocery shop, handle bills, take care of our cat. He’ll sometimes take out the t**sh or wash a dish, but that’s about it. I’ve brought it up before, and he says he’ll "try to do more" but never really follows through. Last weekend, we ...

AITAH for calling my uncle a pedo?

My uncle (38M) and I (F18) have always had a very good and close relationship, but he recently told me som**hing that completely shocked me. He admitted he’s dating his neighbor’s 16-year-old daughter. The neighbor (35F) is someone he’s been friends with for years, and she’s understandably furious about it. Their other mutual friends and neighbors are too. He came to me, complaining about h...

AITAH for telling my husband I want his mom banned from the delivery room?

I'm 34 weeks pr****nt with our first baby. My husband (35M) and I are thrilled, but his mother (62F) has been making this whole thing about her. She constantly refers to my unborn baby as “her baby.” She has a list of nicknames picked out and keeps calling herself "mama two." She even offered to b***stfeed if I “can’t produce enough.” (Yes, really.) I told my husband I want my mom in the delive...
