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...

'AITA for cu***ng my family off after my stepmom cut my daughter's eyelashes?'

I (28F) have a daughter (8) who we’ll call Marie. Marie spent every other weekend with my dad (60) and my step mom (70). They were extremely close as I was a single mom who worked 2 jobs and they watched her so every day so I didn’t have to pay for daycare. The last time she stayed over there she came back the next day with her eyelashes cut off. Marie had pink eye that developed overnight accord...

'AITA for only getting pictures of my adopted daughter?'

My husband and I have 3 girls, 2 bio (4 and 5) and 1 adopted (Avery 12). Avery is my friend’s daughter. When Avery was 8 her parents pa*sed in a car accident. Over the next 3.5 years she was pa*sed around to different family members across multiple states. One person/family would take her, promise she can stay with them, then within 6 months she was shipped off to the next person. She’s been wit...

Dad refuses to attend daughter's wedding after funding $22K 'breakup photoshoot.' AITA?

Some quick context. Last year I was told my daughter was getting married in 2025. I immediately supported this decision and was there every step of the way. Following tradition I gave her 4500 for help with venue payment. During the planning process they changed from a local wedding to a destination wedding in puerto rico and forwarded the timeline a year to last fall giving me a year less to pa...
