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) ...

I got TSA Precheck. I got it because I travel a lot for work (tech sales). I'm take on average 15+ trips a year. I hate taking my belt off at the lines and ha*sles of removing shoes.

My daughter being d...

AITA for making my husband’s accident about myself?

My husband got into an accident a few weeks ago while on his way home from work, and was rushed to the hospital. My mother in law called me and told me he was almost d**ng and I freaked out. When I got there the doctors told me he kept asking for his ex, and that they had to sedate him because he wouldn’t stop freaking out because she wasn’t there. I thought it was okay since the car crash was...

In 2019, I shipped a lot of my belongings, packed bag...

AITA for not going to wedding after agreeing to be best man?

Last year my best childhood friend (28M) asked me (28M) to be best man at his wedding, and I happily agreed. I think the process brought us cl**er together as we talked weekly for the next few months planning logistics and the bachelor party. I worked hard on the bachelor party, which was a far away vacation. I spent months planning, and lots of money. I found time in everyone's schedule and bo...

AITA for invading someone’s personal space?

For context, I (33f) live in the UK. We have quiet sections on trains and I booked my ticket specifically so I could do work on a table in the quiet section on my laptop. My friend Lea (34f) sat opposite me. A man (40s/50s) was sat next to me and about 15 minutes into the journey, starts watching Friends out loud on his iPad. I put my headphones in but it was loud enough that I could still hear...

AITA for thinking I was great in bed until my wife admitted she’s been faking it?

I (34M) have been with my wife (32F) for 8 years, married for 5. I always thought our s*x life was solid. She seemed into it, I put in effort, and honestly? I thought I was pretty d**n good in bed. Then, last week, we were having a deep conversation about our relationship, just talking about things we could improve. Out of nowhere, she drops: "I should probably tell you… I’ve never actually had...
