AITAH for leaving my wife at a flea market without telling her I was leaving?

Anyways, to k**l time between games we hit up a flea market. Another family from the team came as well. We had 3 hours until his next game. He needs to be at the rink 1 hour before the game. He also needed to eat lunch. After 30 mi...

AITA for leaving my uncle stranded 100 miles from home after he went on a r***st, misogynistic rant in my car?

This happened last weekend and I still feel like I’m vibrating with rage. I (26F) was driving my uncle (56M) to a family reunion because his car is in the shop and my aunt had other plans. I was doing it as a favor. He helped out a lot when I was a kid, and even though we’ve grown apart, I figured I could suck it up for a few hours. Big mistake. The second we got on the highway, he start...

AITA for 'overreacting' when my boyfriend put IcyHot in my bra?

I (15f) have been dating "Luke" (16m) for a year. This is the first time he's pranked me. Today, while he was at my house, he did this horrible prank on me. He put IcyHot in my bra. While I was taking a shower, he rubbed IcyHot all over the bra on top in my underwear drawer with two of his friend, "Liam," and "Barry." Then they left my room. I changed and came downstairs. It hurt like he...

Adam who normally eats meat lovers pizza went second to last and grabbed the la...

AITA for telling my husband I don’t enjoy doing his laundry???

My husband and I have been married for two years now, been together for four. I am 24 and he is 27. Recently, I have been stretched quite thin between full time work and full time school. I recently got more hours at work. I am almost done with my degree. I know I haven’t been as happy or affectionate, but I thought it was understood that this will just be a moment in time where I am busy and ...

AITA for not letting my coworker “borrow” my lunch after she forgot hers?

I (26F) work in a small office, and we all usually eat lunch together in the break room. I make an effort to bring homemade lunches to save money, and I often meal prep for the week. Yesterday, my coworker "Emily" (30F) forgot to bring her lunch. She asked if she could “borrow” mine, saying she’d pay me back later or bring me food tomorrow. I told her no, politely but firmly, because (1) I ...

AITAH for leaving my date alone and drunk in a bar?

I (25m) matched with a woman (25f) and we made plans to meet for food and drinks. We agreed to Uber to the restaurant about 6:30 PM. When I arrived, she was already at the bar drinking. We then got a table. About an hour in, she seemed a little drunk but I didn’t mind. We were having fun. But she didn’t seem interested in eating. Finally I just ordered a few appetizers because I was starving. ...

AITAH - Yelling at 14yo

My 14yo daughter was r**ed by her 14yo boyfriend in May (they broke up right after). She told us about it in July. We pressed charges, went through all the proper channels, after her forensic interview were told law enforcement believes her completely but without physical evidence the prosecution won’t pick up the case - and even if they did, all he would get would be therapy. Another girl als...

Parents Pressure 23-Year-Old Daughter To Give Up Her Apartment So Their 32-Year-Old Son Can Finally Move Out Of Their Home

I (F23) have an older brother (32). I moved out of my parent's house earlier than him and found a small place for myself that is really close to my job. The place is not the biggest, it's a one bed room apartment - but it is enough for one person and rent is very cheap so I'm extremely happy with it. I put a lot of work into it and made sure it's my little happy space. Recently my brother s...

AITAH for proposing to my girlfriend 'so soon' after my ex and I broke up?

I (31M) dated Chloe (29F) for 4 years until we broke up 3 years ago. The reason for our split was that Chloe was moving across the country for a great job opportunity, and she basically gave me an ultimatum to either propose and follow her, or break up. The issue was, I have a business I couldn’t just abandon, and I wasn’t ready to get married anytime soon. Honestly, Chloe and I had been on di...
