AITAH For kicking out the real estate lawyer that my fiance brought to my house?

I (f) have been with my fiancé Scott for 5 years. I've lost my mom who was my remaining parent 7 months ago. She left me her house and I became the official owner 3 months ago. This is when Scott proposed to me and we got engaged although he wanted to wait before we got engaged but he said that me owning a house now made him feel like we were ready to be married. Few days ago, he has suggested ...

AITA for breaking off my engagement with my fiancé because of his creepy comments toward my 14-year-old sister?

I (20F) am in a tough situation, and I’m not sure if I’m overreacting, so I need some outside perspectives. I’ve been with my fiancé, Charles (35M), for about two years, and everything seemed fine until recently. A few weeks ago, my 14-year-old sister, Amy, came to stay with us for just a few days while our parents were out of town. During her stay, I started noticing some really unsettling...

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

Thanksgiving dinner is officially over, and I genuinely don’t know where to start. I feel like I just lived through a fever dream of culinary chaos and family drama, and I need a moment to breathe before I can even process everything. My cousin and I are heading out for drinks to dissect all of it because honestly, what just happened deserves its own Netflix special. I’ll post photos later whe...

AITA for telling my dad i would not be coming around as often because of his love for Trump?

I am a 26 year old woman who has always disagreed on politics with my father. Being a Republican is one thing, but vehemently supporting a convicted felon, r***st, and r***st is where I frankly draw the line. After this election, it fully dawned on me how I would never hear the end of it with my dad. How happy he is that Trump won. How America is finally going to get rid of all those pesky imm...

aitah for not calling myself a “cis-girl”

I’m 17f. A few weeks ago or som**hing, a boy at my school was trying to get with me, but I respectfully declined because he was trans and I'm not attracted to trans people. Some of his friends/some of our mutual friends tried to call me h**ophobic or transphobic or whatever for rejecting him, and this kind of started an argument because I said I'm not anything phobic since being straight isn’t a c...

AITA because I'm second guessing having kids due to our opposing views on vaccinating them?

Me (35M) and my wife (32F) are trying to have a baby but we have since come to opposing views on whether to vaccinate any future children. I am for immunizations against things like meningitis and measles, mumps, rubella and polio as they are recommended, but my wife is not and prefers to wait at least 5-7 years before administering any vaccines as she is concerned about ASD or other harmful side ...

Kids opened their presents without me

My husband is usually a great husband and father, but I am so effing p**sed right now. I don’t think I’ve ever been this mad. I woke up this morning around 8:30 when I hurt the kids running around. I knew they would be eager to open their Christmas presents so I got up immediately. I have a lot of trouble sleeping for various reasons so my husband lets me sleep in every morning and watches...

Aitah for naming my baby som**hing “unconventional”?

So, I (29F) recently gave birth to my first child, a beautiful baby girl. My husband (31M) and I spent months deliberating over the perfect name for her. We’re both into mythology and literature, and we wanted a name that felt unique but also meaningful. After a lot of back-and-forth, we settled on Nyxiryn (pronounced “NIX-er-in”). It’s a combination of “Nyx,” the Greek goddess of the night, a...

I feel v***ated and confused by what my fiancé did to me. WIBTAH if I told my parents?

I (f20) am engaged to my fiancé (m26) and we’ve been together for 2 years. He’s never ever done som**hing like this before so I guess this is why I’m so scared- I just don’t know. He’s so usually so kind. I feel v***ated, if I’m allowed to say that. It was two nights ago, and I haven’t left my bed since. Basically we were in his bed in his home and we were going to sleep. For info, my fiancé an...
