AITAH for telling my ex wife she cannot forbid me from walking her daughter down the aisle just because I cheated on her

My ex wife and I divorced a couple years ago. We were married for 14 years and during that time, I also developed a strong bond with her daughter. However, my ex wife and I divorced a couple years ago after I cheated on her. I take full responsibility for it and don’t really have any excuses for it. I still regret it to this day, and I know it really hurt my ex wife a lot. I really thought ...

AITA for Asking My Wife to Quit Hiking with Another Man?

My wife (34F) has always been outdoorsy and loves hiking and camping. I (36M) am more of a homebody. We’ve been married for six years, and while we’ve always had our differences, we’ve made it work. But over the last year, things have changed. She joined a hiking group last summer, and there’s this guy, Jake, in the group who she’s gotten really close to. At first, I didn’t think much of it...

AITA for giving my ring back after my fiancé made a comment to his guy friends regarding why we haven't gotten married?

My fiancé and I (both 30) have been together for 8 years and engaged for 4 years. We got engaged right before COVID really hit and obviously that put a huge halt on any sort of planning and then from there forward, life events halted it more (became homeless, ended up pr****nt and having our child, now we are back on our feet but not financially where we could be YET). Back roughly 5 months ag...

My fiancé wants me to put my dog up for adoption I refuse. But he is allergic AITAH?

Me (28F) & my fiancé (30M) have been together for 3 years, engaged for 6 months. I have a 6-year-old golden retriever named Max who I’ve had since he was a puppy. He’s my best friend, has gotten me through a lot emotionally, and is genuinely part of my family. My fiancé recently moved in with me, and we discovered that his dog allergy is worse than he thought. He gets itchy eyes, sneezing fits...

AITAH for finding out I’ve been unknowingly paying rent to my husband and his mom for TWO YEARS?

I (31F) have been married to Brian (33M) for two years. Right after the wedding, we moved into an apartment he said was a "great deal" from a family friend. We agreed to split rent and utilities 50/50 to keep things "equal" since we were starting fresh and wanted to avoid money fights. So I’ve been sending him $700/month just for the rent this whole time. Three days ago, at a BBQ, I overhea...

AITAH for reneging on letting someone live with me because they said they won't sleep with me?

I'm 29M, she is 28F. We've been platonic friends since university a few years ago. We're not super close friends but have hung out on occasion, although we used to hang out a lot more on campus. She has fallen under financial duress and I offered to let her live in my spare room while she gets her bearing. This was a month or so in planning, and she was due to move in the second week of Februa...

AITAH for kicking out my gf's sister and her kids out of my flat after my gf gave her the keys

My long term gf has my apartment keys, as I have hers. Only unspoken until now but always respected rule was, if you need to go to the other place, just send a text "Hey going to your place". Doesn't matter if the other is at home or even responds. Just simply to tell the other you will be at their place. I was supposed to be away 700km from home for 2 weeks for work related stuff, but 4 da...

AITA for refusing to cover my coworker’s shifts after she called me lazy for not having kids?

I (28F) work full-time in retail, and as anyone who’s worked retail knows, it can be pretty exhausting. I’ve got a busy life outside of work, trying to balance my hobbies, taking care of my apartment, seeing friends, and just taking care of myself. You know, normal adult stuff. I don’t have kids, but that doesn’t mean I’m lounging around with endless free time. One of my coworkers, Sarah (3...

AITA for telling my sister I hope her husband cheats on her after she ruined my wedding dress?

I (29F) have been engaged for about a year, and I’m getting married in three months. My wedding dress is a big deal to me. It’s a gorgeous custom-made gown that I was keeping at my mom’s house because I wanted to avoid any “accidents” at home (I have a dog that sheds like crazy). My sister (34F) recently had some sort of “life-changing epiphany” and decided she’s done with fast fashion and want...

AITAH for tipping 83¢?

I went out to dinner with my wife last night. When the bill came I gave the waitress my card. She came back shortly after looking upset. She s**pped the card down on the table and said "declined." I thought her tone and brevity was rude. I took out a different card from my wallet and handed it to her. While I was putting the first card in my wallet she didn't move. I looked at her and said ...
