AITAH: I am calling off my engagement after my partner revealed he is MAGA.

My fiancé and I have been together since 2013 when we met in college. He struggled to get a well paying job and during his long bouts of unemployment must have been ra*****ized to blame everyone else I chalked it up to depression and tried to get him help with therapy. I paid for him to return to school to become a nurse too but he still has not completed the pre request after 7 years!He curre...

Guy is sending n**es to my parents and family members?

I hung out with this guy a lot with the intention of learning to buy and sell cars. He wanted someone to hang with, and I wanted to learn the ins and outs of the car business. Big deal, that was a trade-off I could live with being broke, in college, and ready to make som**hing of myself. That being said, we never had s*x. He saw the situation as one with a viable future with us together, ev...

AITA for asking my 12-year-old daughter to cover herself up more when she’s in the house?

As I said my daughter is 12, which means pu***ty. Her body is changing. Had to do the bra shopping and all of that. Anyway, we keep our house really warm. She has a habit of walking around in just a tank top and underwear. Sometimes she just hangs around in a towel for hours after showering instead of getting dressed. It’s not a huge deal but I suggested to her that she should really start using...

AITA for breaking up with my boyfriend because I didn't like his body?

Ok. So I recently broke ties with my boyfriend of a couple months because I didn't like his body type. We were together for about three months, and on a whim (he was probably a little tipsy, honestly) he sent a n**ed photo of himself. If I'm being honest, I didn't really like what I saw. I knew he was a overweight, but he was just a little too overweight for me to consider attractive. Don't get ...

AITA for not telling my straight roommate, who sometimes walks around the apartment n**ed, that I'm gay?

I struggled with writing this. I'm in the closet to everyone so throwaway account for obvious reasons. My roommate is a straight man, let's call him Tom. We share a two-bedroom and have been friends for like a year. Anyway, he will sometimes walk around the apartment n**ed in the shared living areas (living room, kitchen, etc.). I will just say real quick that he has a great body all around. He...

AITA for asking my girlfriend of almost 3 years for n**es?

We call each other every night, and I really value those moments we share. It's the time when we can connect on a deeper level, beyond just small talk. I rarely ask her to send n**es, and when I do, it’s never with any expectations. I don’t make it a condition for our relationship or push her to do som**hing she’s uncomfortable with. But every time I do ask, she gets upset and seems personal...

To people raised with r***st parents/guardians, what caused you to have a different mindset?

I'm so conflicted right now. My best friend, let's call him Mark, and I have been inseparable since middle school. We've been through everything together. Recently, Mark started dating a girl, Sarah, and I've been happy for him. However, Sarah is... a lot. She's incredibly high-maintenance, constantly needs attention, and frankly, I find her exhausting. Mark, on the other hand, seems completely ...

AITA for really liking this Merle Haggard song?

It's r***st as h**l. I recognize that. It's from a different time, I recognize that. H**l, it's basically just a song protesting affirmative action. Merle was never the most forward thinking man, but d**n if it isn't the catchiest song I've ever heard. I'm a huge Merle Haggard fan and I love this song, but people keep trying to point out to me that I can't love this song without being a r***st. ...

Restaurant Owner Kicks Out Special Needs Child For Using Racial Slurs On African-American Family, Sparks Debate On How To Handle Disruptive Customers With Disabilities

It’s last Friday night. My wife and I run a small mom & pop restaurant in the US. We are always busy on Friday nights; when we are filled to capacity, we have 300+ in our restaurant. We welcome people and groups from all backgrounds and all walks of life. We do not discriminate against anyone and take care of every customer like they are family. We are mainly a chicken and seafood grill. We ser...

AITA for getting frustrated with foreign shoppers that don't speak my language?

I'm a retail manager in a large department store. This store likes to advertise all sorts of discounts that apply to almost nothing, or require opening a credit card, or have some other bu****it attached to them. Then they advertise 30% off and it applies to 10% of the merchandise with the other 90% taking no discounts whatsoever. It's frustrating and confusing, I a*sume deliberately. All the t...

AITA For Not Wanting my Boyfriend to Listen to an Offensive Podcast?

My boyfriend and I have been together for a year. We live together and I thought we were very close and had no secrets from each other. About a month ago I heard him cracking up and he had headphones in listening to som**hing on his phone. I asked him what he was listening to (out of curiosity, not nosiness) and he said "oh it's just a s***id comedy podcast" and looked uncomfortable. I then aske...

AITA for thinking "white t**sh" is a r***st term?

Lemme start this off by saying that I'm not r***st so any terms that get used that might be considered offensive are just being used as examples. I love and hate all races equally. All of humanity is ga***ge. Anyhow, on to the matter at hand. I believe the term "white t**sh" is inherently r***st to all races *except* white people. I think using the term is actually pretty awful once you realize w...
