AITA for leaving my husband after years of putting his friends and family above me, and finding out he might not even want our baby?

Hi, Evan (not his real name) since I know you might see this. I know you’ll probably say I’m overreacting, but by the time you read this, it’s too late. I’ve already left and made arrangements with a lawyer. I (31F) married Evan (34M) five years ago. We’ve been together for about eight years. For the first couple of years, I honestly thought I’d hit the jackpot—he was attentive, thoughtful, and...

AITA for telling my sister she isn’t the type of person I want my daughters to look up to

My sister and I are complete opposite. My sister doesn’t have many accomplishments and the last thing I remember her achieving is graduating highschool. At 20 she dropped out of college because she was pr****nt. She moved in with the father and for 10 years they were a family. All that time she didn’t had a job even when her son started school. Those two never married and he left her about two...

AITA for dividing everything by five?

I think I messed this up the first time. Trying again. I have four sons. I love each of them very much. I never had a biological daughter, but I used to have a close friend that was a single father. My friend had a demanding job, and his daughter, who we'll call Glinda, spent a lot of time at my home. When Glinda was 14 my friend was diagnosed with the big C. It was hard, and I did everythin...

AITA For telling my wife she's not the boss?

For starters my(M41) wife(F39) have been together 16 years. When she met me I was at the height of my business and starting to go up from there, even during the pandemic my business is still booming. I had my own house(that I lived in by myself), a couple cars and a cottage although that is unrelated. I own my own factory refurbishing various re-engineered equipment, mostly HVAC stuff. Abo...

AITA for "going on strike" and refusing to clean until my kids and husband step up to help?

So, I'm 36F. My husband is 38M and we have been together 14 years. Our kids are 15M, 14F and 11M. Up until about 2 years ago my kids all had ch**es that they did daily but of course with them getting older, it became more of a ch**e for myself when trying to get them to do anything to help me out so I stopped asking. Anyways, my husband hardly ever lifts a finger when it comes to house work. He...

AITA for turning off the tumbler dryer and making my housemate go to work with wet clothes?

I 21F am in a bit of an argument with my housemate right now and I'm wondering if I'm justified here. For context, I have a chronic illness which causes chronic fatigue. If I don't get enough sleep I feel very unwell, and it makes my pain and other symptoms much worse as well as just being horribly tired all day. I try not to use earplugs as for reasons I won't get into they cause my ears to g...

AITA for telling my friend I’m not interested in her baby or being involved in her new mom life?

I (29F) have been child free my whole life. I’ve never wanted kids. I’ve never liked being around kids. I don’t even like holding babies. It’s not a phase or trauma or anything like that. I’m just not wired that way. I’ve always said I don’t want to be a mom or have anything to do with parenting. One of my close friends from college (let’s call her Anna, 30F) recently had a baby. She’s alwa...

AITA - parents lost all my uni work two days before my d**dline

I am currently facing a significant issue regarding my university d**dlines. I have a d**dline for a university application this Friday, and previously had one last Friday. A few years ago, when I moved out, my parents insisted on keeping all my college and university materials safe in their larger house. Last month, I informed my mother that I needed my sketchbooks from my university work to a...

AITA for sticking with my son when my fiancee unfairly punished him?

I (38) have a son (9) and a stepson (8) from my current fiancee (32). My fiancee tells me all the time that my son is rude and nasty when I'm not there and acts real bratty when he doesn't get his way but I always give my son a chance to speak his peace. I try to give my son the benefit of the doubt. Now, my son is a really good kid but doesn't play well with others, especially loud kids wh...

AITA for being upfront and telling my parents that I am putting them in a home?

My family is from South Asia but we live in the States. My parents loved my older brother and tolerated me. They expected me to just stay home and take care of them and my brother. That wasn't for me. I got a partial scholarship to a state school and GTFO. I worked the four years of my undergrad and was fortunate enough to get a full scholarship for my after degree. So I graduated universit...

AITA for saying things my wife gives our infant in front of our child’s doctor?

My wife and I have a 2 month old daughter. For the past month she’s been feeding our baby mashed potatoes, applesauce, sweet tea, a*sorted fruit juices and other things. The last time we went to the doctor, our pediatrician told us to not give her anything but formula until she was between 4-6 months old. My wife does not care and says she knows best for our child and our doctor isn’t the paren...
