AITAH for telling my husband I would not move without my name on the house

I (32F) bought the current starter home at age 22. My husband (33M) moved in about 3 years ago just prior to us getting engaged. I’ve always considered this to be our and now our 15 month old daughter’s home, even though my husband has never financially contributed to the mortgage. We are looking to move to a larger house, not because we intend to have additional children but because my husban...

AITA If my girlfriend (16F) is pressuring me to do co***ne and I (17M) don’t want to?

My girlfriend, let’s call them Aldena, told me last night that I was a p**sy and didn’t know how to have a good time. I said I did, and Aldena says som**hing along the lines of “Then do a line of co***ne right now.” They then proceeded to pull a bag out of the couch cushions and set up a line on the coffee table. We argued back and forth for about 30 minutes before I got up and went home. They...

AITAH for telling my husband I'll divorce him if he doesn't stop ignoring our daughter

Me and my husband (46F, 49M) have a 17 year old daughter who's leaving for college soon, but my husband's been ignoring her since her Senior Award Ceremony back in mid April. My husband is someone who loves making noises for no reason. He hums, whistles, taps his fingers or a pen, snaps, claps, literally anything to make noise. He does this constantly. Our daughter has misophonia and hates any ...

AITA for refusing to donate my kidney to my estranged father who abandoned me as a child?

I (28F) was raised by my mom after my dad walked out on us when I was 5. He left to start a new family and had little to no contact with me growing up. He never paid child support or even called on birthdays or holidays. For years, I struggled with feelings of abandonment, but I eventually moved on and built a life without him. Fast forward to now—out of the blue, I get a call from his wife...

My Sister Named Her Dog After My Future Baby and Now Refuses to Change It

I (29F) am married to my husband (31M), and we’re currently expecting our first child after years of trying. It’s been a really emotional journey—there were some fertility struggles, a miscarriage last year, and honestly, we weren’t sure if we’d ever get here. But now I’m six months along with a healthy baby girl, and we’re over the moon. Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve had a favorite nam...

AITA for not stopping my husband from getting the paternity test?

My husband recently asked me for a paternity test. Why? Because our son looks nothing like him. I never cheated on him. I would never. He knows he was my first and only partner. I told him he can have the test. Who am I to stop him from it? He took the test and found out our son is actually his and he seemed very happy. I told him congrats. Now you are sure it's your own son you are paying c...

AITA for serving only vegan food at my wedding without telling anyone, then getting upset when my family ordered 20 pizzas during the reception?

I (28F) just had my wedding last weekend. My husband (30M) and I have been vegan for 3 years, and we decided to have an all-vegan reception dinner. We spent months working with an amazing chef to create a gourmet 5-course meal that just happened to be vegan - think mushroom wellington, truffle risotto, roasted vegetable tarts, etc. We spent nearly $15,000 on the food alone. We deliberately ...

AITA for leaving my boyfriend’s office Christmas party after he repeatedly humiliated me in front of his coworkers?

This happened last weekend and I can’t stop thinking about it. My boyfriend (30M) invited me (28F) to his company’s Christmas dinner and I was excited but also nervous. I wanted to make a good impression so I spent a lot of time picking the perfect outfit, doing my hair, and ensuring I was presentable. When we arrived everything seemed fine at first. I introduced myself to his coworkers and the...

AITA for skipping my brother's wedding because his fiancée excluded my wife from the guest list?

My brother James is getting married next month, and what should have been a joyous family event has turned into a nightmare. The issue? His fiancée, Emily, didn’t invite my wife, Lisa, to the wedding. Emily and Lisa have never been close, but I wouldn’t call them enemies either. However, Emily has always seemed a bit cold toward Lisa. The tipping point was last year during a family vacation. ...

AITA for telling my girlfriend that we are not living together if she wants to split joint expenses proportional to income?

I (28M) met my GF two years ago. My GF is in grad school and lives off of the small stipend she receives and student loans. I make fairly good money. My GF wants to move in with me. I live in a house owned by my grandparents and do not pay rent (at their insistence). My GF's current rent alone takes up almost her entire stipend each month. Plus she has a utilities, food, medical insurance, ...

AMITAH for not inviting my trump voting parents to my swearing-in ceremony?

I pa*sed the bar exam in my state last week. After nearly seven years of work and su***de-inducing stress, I’m finally a lawyer. But I honestly want to jump off a building after these election results. I’m a bis*xual man who voted blue down the line. Both of my parents voted trump. I’m disgusted, ashamed, furious. I’m feeling emotions I have never felt before. I will be sworn-in at my state...

AITA For Telling My Girlfriend I Have Every Right To Defend My Home After Someone Started Kicking My Door In

I (27M) and my girlfriend (26F) have been together for two years. I'm a black man raised in the inner city, she's a white girl from the suburbs. We grew up different, and normally that's okay but last week someone tried to break into my house and it started causing problems. I'm taking care of my mother now that she's getting up in age. She just had surgery on her legs and CAN NOT WALK. I need ...
