Woman tells a stranger at the gym to 'name 3 women who loved him.' AITA?

This situation is genuinely so d**b, and I don’t know where to start, but I’ll try my best to tell y’all about what happened. So I, (19F) have started to go to the gym a couple of times a week. I just moved to a new town, so haven’t gone to this gym before. For some background, I am a really big metal fan. I’ve been a metalhead since I was 13, and I regularly wear band tees. The gym is no except...

'AITA for wanting a child-free wedding?' 'I'm DISGUSTED.'

Our wedding (me 25f, him 25m) has been planned for almost 2 years now, and we are down to the final 9 weeks. When we started, we agreed to no children. He doesn’t have many kids on his side, but I do. We knew this may mean not everyone we invited would come and that was fine. His mum however, has been nonstop about his cousins two kids coming. We’ve always said they aren’t cause then it’s no...

She chose basic colors of black...

'My parents reached out after ghosting me for 5 years after my wedding.' UPDATED

My husband (30m) used to be my boss. About 9 years ago I started working as his a*sistant. We spent about 2.5 years ignoring our mutual attraction until we gave in. We then went to HR, who rea*signed me, and the whole thing was strictly above board from the time we began dating. I got pr****nt about a year later, and my husband and I decided to just get married. While we'd only really been dati...

'AITA for refusing to have my photo taken with my BF's family and making his mom cry?' UPDATED

UPDATE - I have spoken with my bf and his mother and apologised to both. The reason she cried was because she thought she had upset me, not because she was manipulative - she is extremely lovely and expressed sadness that I didn't feel part of the family. My boyfriend and I had a lengthy discussion and I find it funny the judgements on our relationship, we are a lot stronger than some of you thin...

So what did I manage to do? Take over the bills a couple years ago and Completely f**ked it up. Credit card debt, juggling zero interest cards, all that jazz. My credit has been on a slow and steady decline. I’ve been trying...

'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...

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 ...
