AITAH for rejecting a single mom based on her life style and friends ?

I’m a 43 year old man who lives in Canada. My wife ended our marriage 3 years ago. She started having an affair with her married friend. She filed for divorce and left me and the kids (14 m, 12f) to be with the new love in USA. I have full custody of the kids. It was really hard at first but now we have a good routine going on and kids are doing great. They see a ther***st regularly. I neve...

AITA for getting my girlfriend a gift basket full of things she avoided during pregnancy?

I (m26) became a dad a month ago. Hence, why I’m posting at 4 am. I can’t sleep. I got my girlfriend (f24) who I was living with pr****nt. Her parents never really approved of me after that. When I brought her home after the birth, her parents came with us. I paid a buddy of mine to buy a bunch of things she couldn’t have while pr****nt or avoided while pr****nt and put them in a basket. So...

AITA for refusing to babysit my deceased best friend's kids after her husband's betrayal?

My best friend "Emma" pa*sed away from cancer two years ago. We were like sisters—she was my maid of honor, I was hers. When she was diagnosed, I was her primary caregiver, helping her through chemo and spending every possible moment with her. Her husband "Mike" was a different story. During her treatment, I discovered he was having an affair with a coworker. Emma knew but was too sick to deal ...

AITA for not cooking "fancier" meals?

I'm the only one who cooks in our house. It's just 4 of us, my husband, my daughter and little brother. My husband is 27 and I'm 25. My husband barely knows how to make eggs, even though I've tried to talk to him constantly about learning how to cook. My daughter and brother are still in elementary school so they only help me cook. The responsibility falls on me and it's honestly exhausting....

AITAH for reacting like this to finding out my bf has 2 kids?

I (25F) have been dating a guy (31M) for the past 2 months. However, last night he told me he has 2 kids. I was honestly shockeddd that this was the first time he was telling me. Especially since we’ve been dating over Christmas and didn’t even mention it? I’ve never dated anyone who had kids before, so naturally I was curious and started asking questions. Whenever I got to my 4th question ...

AITA for propositioning a girl in the gym?

The gym I go to is very small. Not a lot of machines and not a lot of patrons. This means working out fairly close to people even if you don’t mean to. Yesterday I (23 f if it makes a difference) was on the extended leg press doing my thing when a girl and her boyfriend began working out on the machine beside me. (One would do a set while the other waited beside them) The girl looked at me, ro...

AITA for flipping out on my daughters teacher after she made the comment "Well, life isnt fair" in response to my daughter saying she was overwhelmed?

So, my daughter(8) goes to a school system that just recently jumped on board with remote learning. As in we literally just got tablets set up through the school last Friday. Prior to this my daughter was going to school twice a week and was NEVER sent home with any sort of school/homework. Instead of easing their way in to the remote learning like most schools have done, they decided to slam m...

AITA for suing my biological father for unpaid child support?

I don't have a relationship with my biological father. He left her when she got pr****nt and never acknowledged that he had a child, always saying she was lying. She did prove paternity in court and got an order for child support. At the time at least, he had a job making well over 6 figures that was handed to him by his parents as well as rental properties, so the ordered amount was pretty hi...

AITA for talking to a girl in Swedish, who claimed she spoke it?

I'm Swedish and have lived in the U.S for about 5 years. Met my girlfriend 3 years ago and hit it off immediately. Last week we celebrated her birthday and she had, like usual, invited friends to the party. One of them we can call Linda. The evening was going well, we had talks, games and fun. My girlfriend and Linda spoke about some new acquaintance from Germany or som**hing, and Linda reac...

AITA- left wallet in best friends car…she’s mad because I had my cards cancelled.

So I left my wallet in my best friend’s car over the weekend. Every time we set a time to meet she cancels, changes the time, or has an excuse as to why she can’t meet for me to get my wallet. I offered to go to her house..:but she’s “never” home. So I told her I’m just going to have my debit card, and the other cards I have in my car wallet canceled and/or reported as stolen. She flipped ...

AITA for Expecting My Husband to Do “My Job” While I’m on Maternity Leave?

I feel like I’m drowning, but maybe I’m the one at fault for expecting too much. I’m 27F and a first-time mom to a 7-week-old baby girl Daisy. She’s beautiful, but she cries all the time. The doctors call it colic, but it feels like I must be doing som**hing wrong. Isn’t a mother supposed to be able to comfort her child? I can’t even manage that. The past few weeks have been a blur of pain,...

AITA for sabotaging my little brother's food on purpose?

My little brother is 18. I'm 20. I am staying with my family for the holidays and thought it'd be a nice time but I forgot that they treat me like a housekeeper. I do almost all the ch**es and I don't mind if its MY ch**e. Obviously, if I notice the dishwashers full, I empty it. If I cook, I clean up. If I make a mess, I clean up. However, if my little brother makes a mess. He makes me clean u...
