My boyfriend wants kids but refuses to marry me so I told him to find someone else

My boyfriend (33m) and I (31f) have been dating for seven years. Early on we talked about marriage, kids, a house, the whole shebang. I like kids and I think I’d be a good mother. I’d like to have children but I wouldn’t be upset if I didn’t have any. I’m happy with my life as is, and I could be happy with children as well. My boyfriend has always dreamed of being a dad, and recently sugges...

AITAH for telling my boyfriend I wouldn't date him if he was trans

I (18F) have been dating my bf, C (19M) for about two years. Our relationship is usually pretty good, but recently we had this really weird conflict where I feel like I'm being gaslighted into feeling like the villain. The other day, me and C were at his house, watching tv, and then he suddenly asked me. "Would you still date me if I was trans?" I am 100% a cishet girl, and although I am an al...

AITAH for refusing to attend my brother’s “funeral” because he faked his death to teach me a lesson

My (26F) brother, Jason (28M), has always been a bit… dramatic. He thrives on pulling elaborate pranks and “teaching life lessons” that no one asked for. A few weeks ago, I forgot to pick him up from the airport because I was stuck at work, and my phone d*ed. He ended up taking an Uber home, but he was clearly mad and kept saying things like, “What if som**hing bad happened to me? Would you ev...

AITAH for asking my girlfriend to stop hugging a guy she hooked up with?

My girlfriend (30F) and I (32M) keep coincidentally running into a guy she hooked up with about a year ago before we were dating. Every time they notice each other they exchange a hug, and a few words. There’s nothing flirtatious about the hugs, but it makes me uncomfortable knowing they hooked up, and that she feels the need to hug him instead of just waving and saying hi in pa*sing. I th...

AITAH for losing interest in a girl who slept with someone else while we dated?

I (21M) met this girl (21F-Jane) about 6 months ago and I we connected over mutual interests. Conversations were flowing really well and even shared some friends so it was pretty easy to find time to hang out in groups. Eventually I work up the courage to ask her out and she accepts. Our dates went along very nicely so of course we keep going out for 4 months now.(About 12 proper dates and ...

AITA for breaking up with my GF after she gave away my dog…. AND LIED ABOUT IT?

I (29M) had a German Shepherd named Max. He wasn’t just a dog—he was my best friend. I’ve had him for 10 years, since he was a puppy. He’s been with me through everything. My girlfriend (23F), however, always complained about him. She said he was “too big,” “too much work,” and that she “hated how much attention I gave him.” I thought she was just being dramatic—until I came home one day an...

AITA for Leaving My Own Birthday Dinner Because My Girlfriend Turned It Into a Proposal for Herself?

I (28M) had my birthday dinner last weekend, and my girlfriend, Sarah (27F), offered to plan it. I was excited because I usually keep things low-key, but she said she wanted to “make it special.” She booked a nice restaurant and invited close friends and family. Everything was going great until it was time for dessert. The waiter brought out a cake, but instead of my name, it said: “Will You Ma...

AITA for breaking up with my girlfriend after she refused to go on a nice date I planned because it was on a Wednesday?

I 27M recently hit a small parlay win and decided to do som**hing special for my girlfriend 25F. We have been together for almost a year and things have been good but she always says she wants me to plan more thoughtful dates. So I booked us a reservation at this really nice restaurant she always talks about. Hard to get into. Amazing chef. I spent $800 total on the reservation, drinks include...

AITAH For refusing to remove my husband’s cane as my sister requested?

My (f) younger sister (f) moved in with my and my husband (m) days ago. She was involved in a very bad relationship with her hopefully soon to be her ex-boyfriend. She came to stay with us after they had a huge fight. She's in a bad place mentally because of it. I told her that this is her home (not literally of course) and that she's welcome to stay for as long as she could. Well, last nig...

AITAH for telling my fiancé I won’t help pay the mortgage?

For some background, I, 29F and my fiancé 30M have been together for 10 years. We had a baby back in 2020 and I lost my job around the same time. Our lease to our apartment was up and my grandma offered for us to move in with her so we did. We basically had our own little apartment rent free. I had thrown the idea of going to school out there and everyone agreed it was a good idea, my fiancé p...

AITA For canceling on our family cruise?

So, my parents wanted to do a cruise for the holidays. They invited me (25f), my boyfriend (27M), my brother (28M), and his girlfriend (26F). My brother (let’s call him “James”) has always been the golden child. Some backstory: Back in high school, when James was discovered to be selling pills, he was just “going through a phase”. Meanwhile, when I got caught smoking w**d, my parents threate...

AITAH for forcing a DNA test on my kids because of my wife’s past in***elity?

I have been married to my wife for 10 years. Early in our relationship, she cheated on me. After a lot of therapy and rebuilding, I forgave her and we decided to move forward. We now have two children, a 7-year-old son and a 4-year-old daughter. Recently, I stumbled across messages from an old friend that dredged up feelings of doubt. These messages weren’t about new in***elity but reminded me...
