AITAH for ending a relationship after my partner came out as trans

I (23F) and my ex partner (22MTF) Dated for 6 months and she came out as trans. I am 100% straight and I broke up with her because she is now a woman and I am straight. She got extremely mad and said that we are to far into the relationship to break up and she wanted to continue dating. If anything I’m validating her, i’m just not attracted to her anymore. She says I don’t care about her perso...

AITA for not wanting my girlfriend to have a free holiday with her ex?

So I’ve been dating my current GF for about 9 months or so. Her ex boyfriend that she broke up with about 6 months before we started dating has recently started talking to her again. I don’t feel partially comfortable about this as I believe he wants to get back with her, but they have only seen each other a few times in a group setting so I haven’t seen it as a big deal up until this point. ...

AITA for Calling Off the Wedding After My Fiancé Gave His Ex “Closure” Without Telling Me?

I (28F) have been with my fiancé, Tom (30M), for three years. He and his ex, Sara, were together for six years before we met, and she’s been a shadow hanging over us the entire time. At first, I understood...they shared a lot of history, and breakups can be tough. But we’re supposed to be each other’s future now. We’re planning our wedding, building a life, and I thought he was done with the p...

AITA for telling my coworker their "special d*et" is just an excuse to avoid contributing at potlucks?

I work in a small office where we frequently organize potlucks for team-building events. Everyone usually brings a dish to share, and it’s som**hing we all enjoy—except for one coworker, Jake (34M). Jake claims to follow a “special d*et” for health reasons, but he’s never been specific about what it is. Every time we have a potluck, he doesn’t bring anything, yet he always eats everyone else’s ...

AITAH for telling my girlfriend she can't force me to cancel my vacation and lose $2500 because she hates Harry Potter?

I 27M and my girlfriend 27F have been together for 4 years now. I've always wanted to visit Universal Orlando to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter but I'd never been able to justify it financially. My dad d*ed recently and I got an inheritance in his will, not life changing money, but enough to pay off my debts and have som**hing left over. So I decided to book a trip for Universal, and ...

My MIL called me selfish because I won't give my late husband's life insurance to his grandparents

My (35F) husband pa*sed away suddenly last year, leaving me and our two kids (6M, 4F) completely heartbroken. He had a life insurance policy that paid out a significant sum, and while it doesnt make up for our loss, it has given us financial security. A few months ago, my in laws approached me with a request: they want me to give a portion of the money to my late husbands grandparents (his moms...

AITA for telling my girlfriend I don't want to split bills 50/50 anymore?

I (28M) have been dating my girlfriend (27F) for almost two years. From the beginning, we agreed to split everything 50/50 - rent, groceries, dates, etc. I thought that was fair, even though I make significantly more than she does (I'm in tech, she's a teacher). Lately, I've started to feel weird about it. I cover some extras here and there (like vacations or bigger gifts), but the basic stuff ...

AITA for telling my sister she's not allowed to bring her homemade food to Thanksgiving because her cooking is ruining the meal?

Every year, our family does a big Thanksgiving dinner, and we all typically bring a dish or two. My sister, who’s a lovely person in every other way, insists on cooking som**hing homemade every time. The issue? She’s… not a great cook. And I don’t mean just “not great”—I mean she has somehow managed to turn cla*sic dishes into borderline inedible creations. For context, last Thanksgiving, s...

AITA for telling my husband that his mother is overstepping and I don’t want her in the delivery room?

I (32F) am currently 8 months pr****nt with our first child. My husband, Tom (35M), and I have been together for seven years, and overall, we have a great relationship. The only issue? His mom (62F), Linda. Linda has always been overbearing—the type of mother who still calls her son "my baby" and insists she knows what’s best for him. Since we announced the pregnancy, she’s been way too inv...

AITAH for not paying for my daughter’s college because she lied about her major?

I (48M) have always promised my daughter (19F) that I’d pay for her college as long as she was serious and honest. We agreed I’d cover tuition for any major except “social media influencer-related nonsense” (her words, not mine) because I didn’t want to fund a dream built on TikTok. She told me she was majoring in Communications, and I’ve been paying her tuition at an out-of-state school. I jus...

AITAH for telling off a lady in a supermarket after she made the teenage cashier cry?

So, this happened yesterday, and I’m still wondering if I overreacted. I (35F) was doing my usual weekly grocery shopping at a local supermarket. It was a busy afternoon, and the line at the checkout was pretty long. I was waiting patiently when I noticed the woman in front of me (probably mid-50s) becoming increasingly agitated as the teenage cashier, who couldn’t have been older than 17 was ...
