AITA for Making My Brother's Fiancée Take a Paternity Test Before Paying for Their Wedding?

My (32F) younger brother (28M) has always been a bit impulsive. He met his fiancée, Emma (27F), last year, and within six months, they were engaged. A month after that, she got pr****nt. Our family was shocked but supportive. My parents are not wealthy, but I’ve done well for myself, and my brother asked if I could help pay for their wedding. I agreed, with one condition: a paternity test. ...

AITAH for not telling the barista I’m straight and accepting perks?

I (male) work in a corporate office and have a pretty set routine. Every day around 2pm, I go to the same coffee shop near the office for my usual pick-me-up. Over time, I started noticing that one of the baristas (a gay male, I a*sume) developed a crush on me. It started with little things and gradually the perks increased: notes on my cup, free size upgrades, my order would come out first des...

AITA for telling my ex that he absolutely sucked in bed due to his weight?

My ex and I split up 7 years ago and he gets our kids every other weekend. About a year after the split we both started seeing other people. His current girlfriend is absolutely stunning and she's fantastic with my kids. But.. my ex makes comments about my fiancé's weight more often than he should. My ex is scrawny (like 110lbs). He quite literally does not have any weight to him at all and...

AITA for insulting my husband for what he said about our daughter’s bf?

My daughter (17f) recently started dating this boy 17m. He is her first bf ever. One of my biggest concerns when my daughter started dating is her getting mistreated, an obvious concern. However, after meeting her bf at one of his baseball games (she met him trough one of her friends in baseball) I realized this was not som**hing I had to be seriously concerned about. He is genuinely one of...

AITAH for sunbathing to***ss when I said I was going to sunbathe to***ss?

Me (36f) and my husband (42m) go away for two weeks every November to my parents villa in Tenerife. We normally go with four of his friends. This has been happening every year for the past 5 years with my husband and his friends but I’ve gone there every year since I was 18 in November as a last bit of heat and top up my tan before winter hits. Whenever I go on holiday I always sunbathe toples...

AITA for kicking my friend’s fiance out of my birthday dinner

My (27F) friend (28F) recently got engaged. She’s the first one in our group to get engaged and we are very excited. Although we are very happy for her, we’ve noticed som**hing a bit… odd. Her fiancé is ALWAYS there. I mean, every event my friend is invited to, he’s there. Girls night out? He’s there. Weekend getaway? He’s there. Movie night with the gang? He’s there. He. Is. Always. There...

AITA For leaving my wedding with my wife?

I (M29) have been with my gf (F29) for about 6 years.

We wanted to go to a courthouse by ourselves (no friends or family) sing the paper and then go to our honeymoon. In ou...

AITA for telling my BIL that I wouldn’t sleep with him even if my life depended on it in front of his family and friends?

I (24F) got proposed to 2 months ago. My fiancé Jax (28M) has a younger brother Jacob (23M) who I went to college with. When I was in college I slept around a lot and was pretty known for that. My fiancé knew this and so did his brother. Jacob was a bit of a jokester so he liked to bring it up frequently. At family gatherings, birthdays, holidays, etc. My fiancé and his family often told him t...

AITAH for telling my coworker to stop commenting on my food?

I (26F) work in an office with a small team, and we all eat lunch in the break room. One of my coworkers, Matt (30M), has this habit of commenting on what everyone is eating. At first, it seemed harmless—just little remarks like “Oh, going healthy today?” or “Wow, that looks heavy.” Lately, though, it’s been getting on my nerves because he does it every single day. No matter what I bring, he ha...

AITA for telling my sister her baby name sounds ridiculous?

My (29F) sister “Claire” (34F) is pr****nt with her first child, and I’m genuinely happy for her. She’s had a rough couple of years, so it’s nice to see her so excited about som**hing. That said, she’s taken the excitement to a weird level: she’s decided to name her baby som**hing... unique, and I think it’s borderline cruel. The name she’s chosen for her future daughter? "M’leigha Seraphyn...
