AITA for getting mad when my dad insulted me for buying my girlfriend pads?

I [17m] was talking to my dad on the phone and I was talking to him about a new game I saw in Walmart and briefly mentioned that I went I there to get my girlfriend pads. I thought nothing of it and had no problem with it but he stopped me to ask why I would do that. I got confused and he told me that it’s strange and creepy to other women to see a guy in the feminine hygiene section. I told h...

AITA for telling my husband I don't want his sister over ever again?

So me and my husband have a 7yo daughter who is extremely curious about everything. Me and husband wanted just a weekend out with just the two of us so we had his sister (17) babysit for the night while we went to the beach house for a date night. It was so needed. Was really nice to be able to have s*x while not exhausted from the day. We watched Lifetime movies, had s*x, cuddled, binged Love...

I (26F) have known my friend since elementary school. She has been dating this guy she met for a while and theyve decided to get married. She asked me to help with wedding preparations,so I've been going with her to everything. I noticed places she chose served food she was allergic to. "Deathly allergic" having it cooked or eaten near her causes her throat to close up allergic. Backgroun...

AITA for yelling at my boyfriend and telling him he acts like a needy 5 year old

I've been applying for jobs recently. This morning my boyfriend "Ian" was still sleeping and my phone rang. It was one of the jobs that I applied for and they asked if I had a minute to talk. I said sure and went in my office and shut the door, I had been in my living room anyways but noise carries more from the living room and I was trying to be quiet. Well right after I closed my office d...

AITA for yelling at my brother-in-law at his future child's gender reveal

Last week my sister was having a gender reveal party. When the s*x was revealed to be female, her husband got all disappointed and basically sat in the corner angrily mumbling to himself. Obviously this made everyone really uncomfortable, and my sister really distraught. I decided to talk to him, because frankly he was acting ridiculous and i thought i could make him see that so he could just ...

AITA for not sharing my food with my in-laws

I (24F) grew up with 2 sisters so of course I was constantly forced to share everything especially food with them. My husband (27M) was an only child. We live with his mom for the moment and what bothers me the most every time I bring home fast food or any other food for myself or the both of us, he offers it to his mother. I wouldn’t have an issue picking up som**hing for her as well but when ...

AITA For telling my half sister she doesn’t deserve my mom’s necklace?

I have three full siblings: Michael (23M) and Damien (25M), and a half-sister, Elsie (18F), who is the result of an affair. Our mother (50F) is terminally ill, and the doctors have indicated she does not have much time left. She called us all in to discuss her will. My mother was a banker and accumulated a significant portfolio. Shortly after Elsie was born, her biological mother became uni...

AITA for saying it's not my problem if my ex and her husband can't afford their kids?

I (30m) was married to Marin (30f) and we have a son together who's now 8. When Marin was pr****nt I found out she was cheating on me with James (33m). James had a girlfriend who was pr****nt at the same time. When my son was born we needed a DNA test to find out if I was his father or James was. As Marin's husband I was the legal father and that made it easier when the DNA results showed he w...

AITAH for arresting my boyfriend's brother during a traffic stop?

I (29F) am a police officer and I take my job seriously. I worked my a*s off to get here and I don’t play favorites, even when it comes to people I know. A few nights ago, I was on duty when I pulled over a car for running a red light and swerving. When I walked up to the driver’s side, my stomach dropped...it was my boyfriend’s brother Sam (22M). I kept it professional and asked for his li...

aita for walking out of my mom’s wedding after what she said during the ceremony?

This has been eating at me all week so I need some outside perspective. I’m 20 and I have a really complicated relationship with my mom. She’s 45. She’s always been the type of person who knows exactly how to push your b**tons. She’ll say the most hurtful thing at the worst possible time but then play it off like she was “just being honest” or “joking.” It’s been like that my whole life. An...

AITA for telling my mom it wasn't cute or funny to dress me as a hot dog instead of a princess?

So there's this new Target commercial going around where a little girl dresses as a hot dog, and it came on while my family was watching a scary movie. I (20F) am home from college for the weekend and brought my boyfriend, and my mother (57F) decided it would be hilarious to mention that she'd made me a hot dog costume as a kid, except the way she told the story, it was my request. She said th...

AITA for shouting at my husband when he came into the room during a timed test?

About 3 months ago I was laid off from my job in the tech industry. It was unexpected and a big hit for me mentally, as I enjoy working and feeling like I'm good at my job and contributing. I've been working through a resulting ident*ty crisis with my ther***st, but I absolutely hate being at home and not having a routine, so I've also been applying far and wide. I've had a couple interviews, ...
