AITA for refusing to plan my son/DIL wedding because my future DIL is always late

I am just retired and I was a wedding planner. My son and my future DIL asked me if I would plan their wedding since I have the experience. I did plan my daughter’s wedding. I told them no and when asked why I told both of them that it is due to my future DIL lateness habit. She claims it is a cultural difference and everyone in her fmaily is late. This is true, they are always 30 minutes or mo...

I told the bride about my decisi...

AITA for turning my wife's joke about my ED back on her?

I'm a 32-year-old man, and my wife Jess is a 26-year-old woman. We have been married for three years. Six months ago, I started to experience erectile dysfunction. This has largely been spurred by anxiety. It's a medical condition that I am currently seeing a doctor for. Jess has gone between blaming me and then blaming herself. Basically weekly the pendulum swings one way or the other. Late...

AITA for getting annoyed that my fiance won’t just SMILE for a picture instead of making a s***id gaping mouth face?

My fiance makes this really s***id face in pictures. Smile big, but with your mouth closed. Then just let your jaw hang open. It’s this awkward, weird cross between a smile and gaping mouth. Sometimes he just opens his mouth really wide without a smile, and looks super idk, shocked? Excited? He only does it sometimes though. Before we started taking pictures, I just asked him if we could tr...

AITA for refusing to split my college fund(s) with my stepsister?

My mom pa*sed away when I was 10. My parents were already divorced at this point, so I was the sole beneficiary of her estate, so I have a trust fund which my granddad manages for me until I turn 25 (I’m currently 18). As a part of the trust, my mother left me behind some money to pay for college which I will be getting access to soon. My dad remarried my stepmother shortly after his divorc...

AITA for telling a friend's girlfriend that she's spoiled?

Several days ago we invited a friend and his girlfriend over for dinner. Before we start, some background about my friend: I've known him for almost 15 years, he never had a lot of money, but he never let that get in the way. He worked hard, saved hard, and bought things if he decided he really wanted them, but was not a spendthrift. He paid his way through university without taking any loans,...

AITA for telling my brother that his looks aren't the reason women run from him?

I (22M) have three older siblings, Diana (43F), Sebastian (37M) and Jake (32M). I was the surprise baby and I'm cl**er to Jake than Diana or Sebastian. Jake has always been interested in sports and trained since he was 14, going pro in college, so he looks like a young Schwarzenegger. I took after him because he was the sibling at home I was actively watching. I was young and desperate for int...

AITA for naming my daughter the name I chose years ago?

I had my daughter a week ago. I had chosen her name a long while ago because it had a very personal meaning for me. Before I was pr****nt my sister and I had been talking about what we'd like to name our kids and I told her the girl name I really wanted to use. She complimented me on it and then we didn't talk about it again. She gave birth to my niece five months ago and guess what name she u...

AITA for letting a teenage boy spend the night in jail before dropping the charges?

When I moved cities a few months ago I rented an apartment on a monthly contract while looking for another one to buy. A couple months in the owner told me that she will be putting it on the market so she will be needing my schedule to arrange showings. I offered to buy it and not even 2 weeks later I was the owner of my own apartment. I live in the second floor, the first floor is owned by...

AITA for using my special needs priviledges?

About a year ago, my university added psychological problems to the special needs students requests. I have been diagnosed with severe anxiety and clinical depression so I decided to apply to the program. The program is strictly enforced and they requested my diagnosis, the date and the doctor. Then, they contacted my doctor. Well, I got in. I have around 1.5x time in exams, able to record t...

AITA for rejecting a girl as revenge?

So, to start off, maybe, it was a bit petty of me tbh. Anyway, I asked this girl Clara out on a date about a year ago. I was a completely different person then, and she turned me down. It stung like h**l, but it did encourage me to better myself. Since then I've gotten in better shape, became more confident and generally I've had more luck with girls. I still never forgot what made me improve ...
