'AITA for telling my fiancé that his family was too nice when I met them?' UPDATED 2X 'IT'S OVER.'

Throwaway acc because my fiancé is on Reddit and I really don’t want to risk anything. I (27F) recently met my fiancé’s (31M) family for the first time. We have been together for four years but we spent two of those years in my home country, and then moved to his country after I finished my graduate program. We didn’t settle in his home state, but I kept asking to meet his parents because he’s m...

'AITA for not inviting my (former) close friend/SIL to my engagement party after our falling out?'

I (29F) am in the midst of a falling out with a former best friend (and also basically sister-in-law), Sophie (25F), and I’m struggling with how things ended and how to move forward as our partners are brothers. In August, I switched careers to become a skin ther***st, and Sophie’s younger sister, Emma (20F), agreed to be a model for me. On the day of her appointment, she completely ghosted me. ...

'AITA for using my sister-in-law's garden flowers in my wedding bouquet?' UPDATED

My wedding was put on hold due to coronavirus. During this time, SILs grandfather got sick, so she traveled to stay with her family. I was left in charge of feeding her dog, my SIL has always grown beautiful flowers, and succulents, she knows how much I admire her green thumb. Before she left she cut all the heads off her roses, and this is where I made my mistake at the time I did not know ...

Man finally breaks and tells GF that she is, 'so polite, it's rude.' AITA? + UPDATE

She is shy in a way that I don't understand. She has no problem going to places where there are new people. She doesn't drink alcohol at all, but if I am invited to a party where she knows absolutely no one but me, she wants to go. So in the beginning, before I know what it was going to be like. I of course invited her to come along (I still do), but then at the event, she will talk to absolute...

'AITA for refusing to cover my sister's rent even though she just had a baby and can't work?' UPDATED

My update as of 4/25/25: my sister and her boyfriend are no longer in the household. It’s been building up to this moment but for the past few weeks it’s gotten so much worse. I caught him calling me names and saying I am dirty and nasty for not washing his dishes, when I just wash mine. I truly don’t understand why he feels this way, I have video evidence of him saying it and talking horrible ab...

Brides changes her mind about sister being the Maid of Honor, 'she called ME a brat.' AITA?

I (25 f) am getting married in about a year and a half from now. We knew when we got engaged it was going to be a long engagement, as did all of our friends and family. When I got engaged, my sister (19 F) immediately jumped into wedding plans, and told me she was going to be my maid of honor. I told her explicitly I have no interest in making wedding plans (because at the time the wedding was 2....

'AITA for distancing myself from my BFF because of her husband?'

Hi, this is a long story so buckle up, it won’t be a pleasant ride. Also, English is not my native language. Excuse me if I make few grammatical mistakes. To start with, I never really liked my best friend’s partner. He saw her through a fast food drive window, he knew her manager and begged to get har social media handle. After that he kept showing up to her workplace, waiting for her shift to b...

'AITA for not telling my boyfriend of two years that I'm infertile?'

I honestly can't believe I am even in this situation or that I am writing this post... Before I get flooded with YTA's I need to point out that I am OPENLY CHILD-FREE by choice! I told my boyfriend I dont want kids on date ONE. He even said he agrees! He claimed he didn't even like children. Not only am I child-free by choice, I openly talk about it, I have mostly child-free friends & even t...

'AITA for not giving my ex the closure he’s asking for?' UPDATED

This is probably a bit s***id but that boy has got me questioning my own mind. Either way, sorry if this is a bother. I broke up with my bf a few weeks ago. I had realised - in part thanks to Reddit - that some of his behaviour was absolutely not okay & when I tried to talk to him, the conversation escalated to me breaking up with him. I have a pretty severe case of face blindness/prosopagno...

'WIBTA if I stayed at my parent's place while my wife stayed at the hotel?' UPDATED

My wife and I are going to be attending her friend's wedding which is in the same city that I'm from, as in my parents still live there. It's on a Sat**day with some events on Sunday and our plan is to fly out with our 1 year old on Friday and spend 2 nights there. My wife and my parents, particularly my mom don't get along too well. I'm fortunate that we're far enough that they have to meet infr...
