AITA for asking my current wife to stop body shaming my ex-wife ?

I (45m) married my 2nd wife (29f) a few years after my ex-wife (47f) divorced me. I'm thin while current wife is on the heavier side but my ex-wife is much heavier than her. I honestly prefer a woman to be on the heavier side. My wife has referred to my ex as "fat" multiple times, in a derogatory manner. I asked my wife to stop body shaming my ex, and my wife accused me of still loving my e...

My son's girlfriend said my culture is too vain for her future baby so I snapped

I have two adult children. My daughter has a five year old daughter and my son's girlfriend is pr****nt with their first child. I've always got the impression that she doesn't like me, but that's fine. I don't particularly like her either but we are civil for my son's sake. I'm Brazilian. I grew up in Brazil and I go back once or twice a year to visit family. I had both of my children over ...

1.5 years ago, I got a new grad job out of state and my girlfriend moved with me. It is an HCOL area, and our apartment is $2k / month. For the first year, she worked part time to nurture her mental health (paid me $150/month in rent). For the next .5 year, she worked full time, paying $800/month in rent and splitting utilities. Last month, she was laid off from her job. She had the money save...

AITA for buzzing my hair off? I am a teenage girl and my sisters keep bringing lice home.

I am 16 and my sisters are 13 and 10. They keep bringing lice to the house, I guess they get it at school or pa*s it back and forth between each other; for nearly the last year there has been lice on one or both of them more often than not. I've gotten it a few times and it's so hard to get rid of, my hair is thick and curly. My sister's are also so gross, they won't be careful what brushes or ...

AITA for getting a belly piercing without discussing it with my boyfriend beforehand?

I’ve been wanting to get a belly piercing for a couple years now so I decided to take a leap with my friends. I didn’t inform my boyfriend beforehand since I didn’t think it...

AITA for pricing my custom cakes so high, just to discourage people from asking me for cakes.

I'm a hobbyist baker but my full time job is engineering consulting. There's more money in the engineering side; when I want to pick up extra hours of work, I'm gonna do engineering work. But I genuinely like making cakes for friends or for events as a surprise! But I don't always, sometimes I'm just too busy to make one, it's just som**hing I do if I happen to have a free day before a get toge...

Aita for not wanting my daughter in my life after SHE cut me off for 6 years

My late husband pa*sed away when my daughter Nelly was just five years old, and I had her when I was 17. I remarried Benz when Nelly was ten. For the first five years of our relationship, I focused on Nelly and continued to prioritize her well-being throughout my marriage to Benz. While my husband expressed a desire for children soon after we married, I made it clear that I preferred to wait u...

AITA for keeping my grandmothers ring when it was given to me by “mistake”?

My grandmother pa*sed earlier this year and she had a pretty nice jewelry collection. Before she pa*sed she knew what went to who and had had me meet to see what I’d like. Instead of jewelry I asked for her wedding dress. No one else wanted it, I had gotten married in it, and she was really touched. After talking to her kids she went ahead and gave it to me before pa*sing. When she did pa*s...

My (41m) wife (39f) and I have been married for 2 years but together for 5 total. She has two kids from a previous marriage, 'James' (15m) and 'Becky' (8f).

AITA for asking my sister why did her husband leave her if she is such a perfect wife and mother?

I (30F) had my first baby 8 months ago and am already back to work. I own several beauty salons with my husband and we both agreed that when our child is born, we will rely on the help of a nanny that we have known for years so I can continue working. Our baby boy is very happy, we the parents are also very happy and life is great overall. Last week my sister (35F) came by our house to drop...

I (28M) have an older brother (31M) and SIL (30F) who have a 3-year old son and SIL is about 7-months pr****nt with their second child. I am a single man in my 20s and live by myself. As such, I live a fairly typical bachelor lifestyle. I enjoy going out to bars and clubs, in the past I have attended music festivals and dabbled in drug use, and I do not apologize for it. It's the way I am ...

AITA if I tell my tenants they can't have packages delivered to the house?

I have a rental unit in my home, a daylight bas**ent with a separate entrance. I share my mailbox with my tenants, and until recently, I never had issues with mail or deliveries. About seven months ago, I rented to a couple in their mid-forties. She’s a subst*tute teacher out all day, and he’s “retired” and home during the day. Generally, they’re great tenants—rent is always on time, and the...
