AITA for telling my old bully that she's clearly only apologising to make herself feel better?

I (27M) was bullied really badly by this one girl (27F) for many years, right up until I left high school. I've since moved on and forgot about many of those things. So it came as a surprise when I saw her again when I went out shopping. I wasn't even in my hometown so it really was a coincidence. Well she recognized me and I tried to pretend I didn't notice her, but she called my name. So ...

AITA for letting my daughter buy her own bras and not checking?

I (32M) have shared custody of my 13 yo daughter. Earlier this week we went to the mall since she’s been asking me to go and I was happy with how she’s been doing in school. Midway through after we hit a few stores she asked me to go into Victorias secret, I asked what she wanted (thinking som**hing like perfume) and she said she wanted bras that fit better, not my area of expertise so I asked one...

AITA for exposing my parents lies and damaging their reputation

I (21M) have a strained relationship with my parents. They are involved in pretty much every social event/circle in our city be it church, school, clubs etc. For them, what over people think is the most important thing. For that, they will lie about pretty much any "bad" thing that could potentially tarnish their standing and have forced my sister (24F) and I to behave in certain ways or follo...

AITA for reporting threats made by my husband's kids and their mom to CPS and then leaving because I'm pr****nt?

I (30f) have been married for the last two years and together with my husband (33m) for a little over 4.5 years. He's divorced with two children (11 and 13) with his ex. I was not the other woman. They were not married when I met him and had been divorced for at least 3 years by that point. But the ex was very difficult once I moved in with my husband. It was som**hing that could be managed by...

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 telling my neighbors that I don't care for their living situation?

I know the t*tle sounds bad but hear me out. I recently relocated to Orlando from Miami. I moved to some apartments that most would consider really nice. Not high end or anything but definitely nice. Miami was just too expensive which is the reason for my move. So because I work from home and I have 2 dogs I wanted to get a 2 bedroom apartment. One that can be an office that I can work from...

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 telling a guy (23M) that I feel bad for his girlfriend?

Recently, my fiancé “Sam” (23M) and I (23F) were catching up with one of Sam’s friends, let’s call him “Jake” (23M). Full disclosure: I’m not the biggest fan of Jake for various reasons (mostly his misogynistic comments), but put up with him for my fiancé’s sake. Jake has been dating his girlfriend “Sarah” (24F) for almost 2 years now. I’ve never met Sarah in person, so all of the information I...
