AITA for sending my family an angry email because they still speak to my ex-husband and even have him over, especially in light of his present “relationship” with a girl 20 years younger than him?

So basic background is I’m 42, two kids age 14 and 12 and signed divorce papers in April after almost 2 years of it being drug out trying to get my fair share from him. The details of “why” are not important but I’m angry, embarra*sed, lost and sad any given moment of the day. A lot of this has to do with feeling like I’ve been “replaced” by a 23 year old surfing instructor who is everything I...

AITA For lashing out after my husband ruined the food I prepared for our guests?

Me (F26) and My husband (M33, Mike) have been married for a year now. He doesn't cook. He's bad at it. His cooking is the worst despite learning from books/YT videos/me teaching him. It just never works. Every time he steps a foot into the kitchen it turns into a mess. He doesn't know how. Maybe because he's constantly busy with work (Police Officer) and is used to fast food. But he's good ...

AITAH for refusing to spend my work bonus on my sister in law’s wedding?

I work full time and recently received a performance bonus. My plan was to use it entirely for our son’s savings because I want to ensure he does not struggle like I did growing up. I told my husband about the bonus and that we should save it for our son, and he agreed, saying I was smart. Soon after, the focus shifted to his sister’s wedding. His family began making financial demands relat...

AITA for pouring my girlfriend’s mom’s soup through a colander so I can pick out some vegetables I really don’t like?

My girlfriend’s mom made us a seafood chowder for lunch while we were visiting. She made it before once and it was really good but she adds a few pieces of ginger to flavor it and I really really really hate bitting into ginger. I don’t mind the flavor it imparts, I just hate the taste of actually eating a piece. Last time, I accidentally bit into one since they were hard to see because the ch...

AITA for implementing a “you cook you clean rule” and leaving her to clean up her dishes after she made pasta

My wife and I switch off cooking, both of us cook twice a week and the days neither of us cook it’s a leftover night or takeout. We used to have the person that didn’t cook do the dishes after the meals. I clean as a cook, so when it is my night there are very few dishes for her to clean up. When she cooks, I swear she uses almost every single dish or pot for her meals. It is a disaster in the...

My sister tried to reconcile with me 5 different times. I rejected...

Lo and behold when she's 17 his daughter comes out as a lesbian. This was an awkward situation to say the least, and it ended up with her living with our parents for the rest ...

AITA for reporting my fiancé missing after he went out at 10pm for deodorant and disappeared for 7 hours?

My (30F) fiancé (33M) went out on Sat**day night to the store for a couple things he needed (I.e. deodorant) around 10pm while I stayed home with our kid (2F). He told me he was making a quick run to the store and would be right back. He borrowed my car and left and I thought nothing of it. Fast forward to midnight and he’s still not back. I sent him texts and called but he didn’t answer. At 1a...
