AITA For Telling My Husband He Doesn’t Need to Come to the Hospital When I Deliver Our First Child?

Backstory- I (F33) have had a rough pregnancy, to say the least. At 18w pr****nt my daughter was diagnosed with CPAM (a large ma*s growing in her chest). I’ve had to see multiple specialists for this, going to the Dr 2-3x/week, every week, for the last 20 weeks. My husband (M35) has not accompanied me to most of these dr visits due to work (we both work full time but I make more money) which I...

AITA for calling a guy a nepo-hire after he said I’m a diversity hire?

So I (22F) recently started working a prestigious company that is unfortunately very male-dominated. On my team for example I’m the ONLY woman. There’s Asian guys, and another black guy but it’s mostly white dudes. And this is actually one of the more diverse teams. As a woman of color it’s been a challenging and oftentimes isolating experience. Anyway one of my coworkers (M) is the nephew ...

AITA for telling my parents that they shouldn’t have had three kids?

I’m (23F) the youngest in my family with two older sisters, A (27F) and M (26F). In general, I’ve always felt my sisters were raised differently than me. They’re only a year and ten months apart, so they were only one grade apart in school and much cl**er than they were with me growing up. They got to do all the same activities together, hung out with the same friend groups, and got to travel ...

AITA for leaving my best friend’s bachelorette weekend after she and the others pranked me about being the "backup bridesmaid"?

I’m 26 and my best friend Nicole is getting married next month. I’ve been helping her with wedding stuff for almost a year. Dress shopping, invites, late night emotional support during her mom’s health scare, all of it. I figured I’d be part of the wedding party but she never officially asked. I didn’t push it because I didn’t want to seem ent*tled. Last weekend was her bachelorette trip in...

AITA for doing an Irish exit at a restaurant so I wasn't stuck with the bill?

I was lucky enough to get a great job after I graduated. I make pretty good money and my job is challenging but fun. Some of my friends didn't bother with college and some who did go chose less lucrative fields. I'm not rich or anything. I'm not buying a Porsche any time soon. I just have a good salary and very few bills since I still live at home. I got a very nice hiring bonus when I wa...

AITAH for not wanting to go to my sister’s wedding because her fiancé makes cruel jokes about my recovery?

So I (32F) have been sober for just over two years now. I was an alcoholic and also struggled with drug addiction for a few years before I hit rock bottom and got my life together. It’s been a rough road, but I’m proud of the progress I’ve made. I’m in a much better place now, and more importantly, I’ve been able to be a better mom to my son. Here’s where things get tricky. My sister (28F) ...
