AITA for telling my boyfriend that if he doesn't want to go vegan, he has to learn to cook for himself?

I (21f) just moved in with my boyfriend (22m). It's his first time ever living away from home, whereas I spent 3 years living in uni accommodation. We've been together for 4 years. I've been vegan since I was about 15, he eats meat, and it's never been an issue between us at all. I have never cooked him meat or dairy products, because he is capable of putting things in the oven or microwave, a...

AITA for telling my sister she wasn't always the chosen one?

Before my brothers and I were born, my mom had a child with an old boyfriend, "Penny". Her boyfriend/Penny's bio dad didn't stick around. My mom then met my dad when Penny was 3 and they got married. My dad adopted Penny. My mom then went on to have me and my brothers with our dad. Growing up, Penny was always the apple of my dad's eye. He gave us all attention, but he always went out of his w...

My wife and I enjoyed spending time with out kids, but we also did some couple's activitie...

AITA for telling my mom I’m not gonna be her second choice just because my brother d*ed?

Me (23M) and my mom don’t have the best relationship. My parents broke up when I was 2. My mom was trying to do college so I was mostly with my dad and she’d have me every weekend. When I was 6 she got married and then a year later had my half brother “Tommy.” After that she was cancelling our meetups or days I go over there because she was busy. Missing out on school stuff and then birthdays. ...

AITA for calling my wife a bully, knowing it would trigger her?

I (M36) work as a bus driver. I've been doing the same route for about five years and I've gotten to know my regulars pretty well to the point where I'd consider most of us friends. I enjoy my job and conversation and socialising comes easily to me. My wife (F36) works in an office and drives so she's never really met any of my regular pa*sengers. So I've been married for about five years n...

AITAH for not letting my stepson bail on his pr****nt girlfriend

I (38F) have been married to my husband for over a decade and helped raise his son Jake (fake name) (18M) since he was 8. I’ve been there for him through everything such as school problems, breakups, late-night breakdowns, you name it. I’m not his biological mom, but I’ve acted like a parent in every way that counts. A week ago, Jake came to us and admitted his girlfriend (16F) is pr****nt....

He does not pay child support, but I do ...

AITA for telling my sister that if she’s so upset about my kid not sharing her toys they could find another place to live

I’m a single mom to Emi (6). Emi is my only child. She’s been sick since she was 2, and if I’m going to be honest, she likely won’t make it to 10. Her dad left us when she got sick. Emi spends one week in the hospital then a week at home. Because of this, the last time I was able to send her to school was 2 years ago when we were able to do preschool 3 hours a day, 2 days a week, and they still...

AITA for kicking my sister out of my home after she told me it was karma that I can’t have kids?

I (F32) have been trying to get pr****nt for seven years now and have been unsuccessful. Diagnosed with PCOS later in life, I’ve had five miscarriages that have taken a ma*sive toll on my physical and mental health. It has left me feeling like a ma*sive failure as my partner (M36) desperately wants children and I’m unable to give him this. He never makes me feel badly about it, but I know he’s...
