I lost my sister almost 9 years ago. She was my only sibling and my best friend. I looked up to her and really loved her. Needless to say we were very close. I was 17 when she pa*sed away. Now fast forward 9 years later, I am 26 almost 27, married and soon to be father of a beautiful baby girl. When we found out we were having a girl, I asked my wife what she thought about naming our daughter a...

AITA for taking off my shirt in front of my daughter's friends because I was having a hot flash ?

I (55f) felt I was on fire in my living room so I took off my shirt. I had a vest underneath. My daughter Becky (27f) and several of her friends were in the living room. I was humiliated as I was sweaty and red in a sweaty vest. Two days later, Becky confronted me. She said I embarra*sed her, and that her male friends are taking about me to her. I told her I couldn't help it but she called me ...

AITAH for kicking out my SIL because of her insinuations about my career?

I (30F) work for an IT company in technical sales. I have a hybrid job, so I work from home a few days and have to be at the corporate office or client locations on other days. Every day I dress well - business casual outfits (my style is bold colors and very feminine) and makeup. When I am working from home I am frequently on video calls, so I put some good lighting gear and camera on tripod ...

AITA for bringing my degree into work to prove I graduated?

I (32M) work in an office where everyone has at least a bachelor’s degree. Most of my coworkers have their degrees framed on the walls of their offices, and some also have pictures of them at their graduations; I think I’m the only one that doesn’t. I’d rather decorate my walls with pictures of my wife and me on trips we’ve taken. I also didn’t even attend my college graduation, so I don’t hav...

AITAH if I would press charges against my husband for cheating even though he saved me from my deathbed??

I have been married to my husband for ten years. Our marriage hasn’t been perfect but I always believed we were in it together until recently. A few years ago, I went through the worst time of my life. I was battling a severe illness and there was a point where doctors weren’t sure I’d make it. He was my rock. He drained his savings took time off work and even fought with insurance companies t...

AITA for making my son eat off dirty dishes?

This happened two months ago, but he’s still furious over it. I’m 45f. I love my oldest son, but he’s 17 and acts like it. Our family rotates ch**es- cooking, dishes, cleaning common areas are all done by each family member on different days. My son hates ch**es and always tries to half a*s it to get out of doing it. It’s been a constant battle. Dishes are the worst. He overpacks the dishwa...

AITA for telling my wife to STHU because of the remark she made towards my 16yo sister?

My M28 sister F16 was diagnosed with cancer in 2021 and treatment has been hard on her, she's the shy type and can be incredibly insecure and lack confidence about her looks. Any remark, nomatter how small would get to her and affect her right away. It's a while since I've seen her and the other day I was facetiming her and my parents to check on her. My wife joined us and sat next to me withou...

AITA for being mad about the gifts my husband got me vs. gifts he got for his family?

I'm(38f) always grateful for the gifts he(39m) gives me. He had asked me what I wanted, all of it was reasonable (fuzzy socks, a pair of slippers, ext.) I got him a special gift he has always wanted, I saved $ for 6 months to get it. Plus, shoes, clothes, tools & stuff I know he'd like. He went shopping on 12/23 at 7 pm, alone. He gave me the kids stuff to wrap. Xmas comes, my stuff wasn't wra...

AITA for leaving a dinner date after he fed his dogs a better meal than us?

I started casually dating a guy 2 1/2 months ago. We have gone on several dates; such as movies or dinner at restaurants and the arcade at the Pier near the ocean. It's been a really pleasant time and I dont want you guys to think I dont appreciate this guy, because I do, but this really rubbed me the wrong way. As for who has been paying for the dates- we usually split 50/50. He has paid for ...

AITA for attending a party even though I was only invited as a pretty face?

Last month I (25F) got surprisingly invited to an exclusive party that entertained a bunch of tech and creative people who were k**ling it in their industry and are important clients of my company. The invite came as a surprise because many of my colleagues, who have been working in the company way longer than me, did not receive an invitation. I was told by a good friend of the CEO (who throw...

AITA for buying a ps5 without my boyfriend and saying it's mine?

My boyfriend (26m) and I (26f) have been together for about 8 months. We live together but have split financials. I worked hard and went to college, which is why I have a well paid job. When I met my boyfriend he didn't have a serious job, but he worked hard so we could live together and he now has a job with a decent income. He makes less than me and the rent etc. are divided pro rata. I p...

He says he has a hard time figuring out what to get and doesnt want to waste money on som**hing that people wont use. ...
