AITA for telling my grandparents about my stepsiblings destroying my jewelry?

My mother d*ed when I was 10. My father married a goyishe woman less than a year later, who promptly did her best to have as many children as she could, and had 3 in as many years. She has two older kids too, who are 8 and 7 now. 6 kids is a lot, but it's a pretty big house. I'm the only grandchild on my mother's side, and the only granddaughter on either side. My grandparents typically gif...

AITAH for not giving $25 to someone I've been talking to for 4 days?

I (30F) have been talking to this man (40m) for 4 days. He's military, seems really nice, very handsome, etc. On day 2 of us talking, he asks me for $25 so he can get some fast food. I tell him that 1) I don't just give out money to people and 2) I currently have a negative balance in my account. I can't even get gas to fill up my car. I am traveling to work on a quarter tank and a prayer unti...

AITA for refusing to give my sister the wedding dress I bought even through I'm not getting married anymore?

So, I (29F) was supposed to get married last year, but my fiancé and I ended up breaking things off a few months before the wedding. It was mutual, no drama, just a realization that we weren’t compatible long-term. The thing is, I had already bought my wedding dress custom made, cost me nearly $4,000. I know, that’s a lot, but I paid for it entirely myself and it meant a lot to me at the time....

AITAH for leaving a family dinner after my dad’s toast?

About a year and a half ago, I had a miscarriage. It broke me in ways I didn’t expect. I’ve been trying to heal, and while I don’t talk about it constantly, my family knows how hard it was. Last night, we had a big family dinner, like extended relatives, family friends, a sort of casual celebration for my sister’s pregnancy. During the toast, my dad raised his gla*s and said, “Here’s to a s...

AITA for uninviting 25 family members to my wedding 6 weeks to show time?

I have had this Halloween Wedding planned for two years. The venue I wanted has a wait list. All the sudden my mom and grandma decided the wedding was satanic and want me to make last minute changes. I told my mom and grandma a firm no. Two years my family has known about this and because I have told them know half my mom’s side thought they would be cute and say they aren’t coming in a random ...

AITAH for enjoying my intimate time with my girlfriend?

I (20M) have been in a relationship with my very wonderful girlfriend Nana (21F) for a couple years, we were really close as kids and started dating around freshman year of highschool. If you asked either of us about any aspect of our relationship, we'd tell you how it's all absolutely perfect. That is, except for our intimate life. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but dear god it feels absol...

AITA for no longer letting my mother in law watch my dahghter after she kept throwing away the food I sent.

I'm a widower and have a 6 year old daughter who's a very picky eater and got worse after her mother's pa*sing. She loved her mother's cooking and refused to eat anything that isn't made by her mother. I decided to learn to cook her favorite meals that my wife used to cook and my daughter has been loving "my version" of her mother's cooking. I recently started working a new job and my MIL s...

AITA for locking my wife out of my office because she won't stop bothering me?

I have been stud**ng for a very important test each night for the past few weeks. I usually wait until after dinner before I start, which usually is around 9 - 10 PM, and then I will work until 1 -3 AM. It depends on how much I get done. My wife doesn't usually go to bed until 11 PM, and at that time of night she likes to be close to me and cuddle, so she has been coming into my office and ...

AITA for not canceling my graduation trip to babysit my sister’s kids?

I (23F) graduated college last week, and me and a few friends planned this small road trip to celebrate. Nothing crazy, just four days driving along the coast, staying in cheap Airbnb's, eating good food, taking pics som**hing we’ve talked about doing since soph**ore year. Everyone chipped in, we saved for it, and it was meant to be one last trip before people start moving away or starting job...

AITA for drinking my gf’s chocolate milk and replacing it without telling her?

So, my girlfriend and I stopped at a convenience on the way home one night and bought some snacks. She bought a little carton of chocolate milk with a straw. The next day she was away and I saw the chocolate milk in the fridge. It looked really good so I ended up drinking it, thinking to myself I might stop by the convenience store later and replace it. I did just that, replaced it with a li...

AITA for refusing to babysit my nephew, even in a family medical emergency, because my brother and SIL lied before?

I am my brother and SIL’s only relative in the city. When SIL was pr****nt I made it clear that I’d only babysit for them in the case of a serious emergency, e.g. someone has a medical emergency. I won’t babysit if they just wanted time off from being parents, because I don’t have the free time for that. I work 60-100 hours a week, so if anyone needs time off, it’s me. Last year, my brother...

AITA for refusing to move in with my boyfriend after he secretly tested me?

I (28F) have been dating my boyfriend, “Jake” (31M), for two years. Things have been going great—or so I thought. Recently, we started discussing moving in together, and I was really excited. We even started looking at places. Then, last week, Jake dropped a b**bsh**l. He admitted that before committing to moving in, he wanted to “test” me to see if I was “serious enough” about our relation...
