AITAH for calling out my mother in law and telling her she is not native american.

My wife and her mother appear visually to have Native American characteristics, such as dark hair, almond eyes, and high cheekbones, and they maintain a dark complexion from tanning. When I met my wife, she stated she was part Cherokee, which I believed based on her appearance. For years, she had been asking us to take DNA tests to learn about our heritage; I was told I was mostly white and pa...

AITA for coming off as pr****nt at my sister's wedding? I'm a newly sober alcoholic.

I am a woman in my late 20s and I've very recently started to realize I've got a binge drinking problem. I've very recently started going to a ther***st, she is also referring me to a recovery program that I'll be starting soon. I'm really early on in this whole process and I've only told my husband, who had been the only person to really notice I had a problem. Last week was my sister's we...

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...

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...

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...
