AITA for defending my daughter's choice to turn down a boy's advances?

H**lo all, my husband and I have been arguing about this all day and I need some outside perspective. My husband picked my daughter (Cindy) up from school and he saw her speaking to a schoolmate that she had previously had a crush on. For context, last year during a sleepover my husband and I overheard Cindy's friends lightly teasing her over having a crush on this boy. My husband also gentl...

AITAH for allowing my husband’s mistress to meal prep for him and the kids?

My husband has been cheating on me for years with different women due to this I’ve completely shut off from him. We don’t have a s*xual relationship but we do an amazing job at being parents. Our kids love us and that’s all that matter in the grand scheme of things. I am not dating anyone,this isn’t an open relationship. Every time he cheats he acts more remorseful but Ive come to terms that I...

AITA for refusing to pick up my ex girlfriend after she called me at 3 am for a ride?

My ex girlfriend of 2 years ago randomly called me at 3am on Friday night asking (very drunk) if I could come get her because she lost her cards and cash and needed a ride home. I woke up with my very pr****nt wife next to me completely p**sed and even if my wife wasn’t next to me I didn’t leave the last relationship on good terms so I said nope sorry I’m not your guy and hung up. To make su...

AITA for leaving my friend stranded because she kept us waiting for over an hour?

So, this happened last weekend, and now my friend group is split over whether I was justified or a total j**k. I have a friend, lets call her "Sarah" who is *always* late. I’m talking, “we tell her to be there at 6 knowing she’ll show up at 7” kind of late. The rest of us have learned to tolerate it, but last Sat**day pushed things too far. We were all going out for a friend’s birthday and h...

AITA for showing up to a job interview with purple hair that I've had since I was 20?

I'm 34 years old and have had some flavor of purple hair since I was 20. The closest approximate color I can give to you is if you search "black cherry hair" and imagine it a little more purple. At 34, I'm not exactly new to the job force. One of my biggest stipulations for a job is that I fit in as I am, and that I don't work for a company that's so uppity my hair would be an issue. I've n...

AITA for leaving my friend's dog at a dog shelter after she abandoned him at my home?

I'm a 35-year-old female. I have a friend, 32 female, who asked me to dog sit her poodle for two weeks while she was on vacation with her husband. I had some rough patches with this friend before, but she paid me before having to take care of her dog, and my house is big, so I agreed. I really like dogs; I have had many throughout the years, and now I have one good golden boy named Dorado. But...

AITA because I am forcing my parents to choose between two options they loathe.

I (F38) have recently gotten a not great medical diagnosis and prognosis. I am at peace with it. So I have sat down with my husband and figured out my will. Obviously he will be receiving most of the estate. He has to take care of himself and our kids. He and I both have decent if not spectacular careers and he likes his work. My oldest brother is a gigantic D-bag. He is an addict and my par...

AITA for not giving up my plane seat so a family could be all together?

So I travelled home today from Greece. The flight was roughly 10 hours and around this time of year it’s extremely hectic. I booked my ticket specifically to be cl**er to the front of the plane so I can be cl**er to the gate when it’s time to get out. I personally hate traveling so I spent a bit more money to be cl**er. When I got on the plane, a family of four approached me and asked if I ...

AITA for not helping my parents when they are homeless?

When I(27F) was little my father gambled away all the saving about $100,000 in risky penny stocks which got wiped out in 2008 and we were forced to move into a single bedroom in a house for the 3 of us. Then my mom fell for an MLM and you can image what happened, they lost the down payment to the house they were saving for. I begged them not to sign up for it since I saw it was clearly a scam ...

AITA for not being nice to the people trying to force me to sell my home?

A large company is trying to buy up all the houses in my area to build a luxury resort with a golf field, pool, and other things. A few days ago I got a knock on my door and someone came over and she told me she was offering to buy my home, willing to give me 5% over "market value" (their bu****it market value is less than I bought it for). I politely said "No I'm sorry but I am not at all int...

AITA for telling my dil she showed us who she really was on her wedding day?

I’m the father of four children. In May my son Neil got married to Debbie. Debbie acted terribly the whole day. Straight up ent*tled and embarra*sing. My oldest daughter was 3 months pr****nt and hadn’t told anyone because she has already had one miscarriage. She was barely showing and Debbie picking a tight fitting bridesmaid dress. My daughter was super sick from morning sickness and Debbie ...

AITA for divorcing my cheating wife?

I (28M) married my wife (27F) about two years ago. We first met at university, as she was my cla*smate. We dated for about a year before deciding to get married. Life was great, and we didn’t have any major problems in our marriage. You could say we were a happy couple. About 10 months ago, we found out that my wife was pr****nt. I was over the moon because we had been trying for a baby. Ho...
