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...

AITA for refusing to pay the medical bills for my roommate's son after he had an allergic reaction eating my cookies?

My roommate's son, Sam (4M) is allergic to strawberries. He gets an allergic reaction only if he eats them. I recently made a batch of strawberry shortcake cookies. Some of them were in a jar in the top shelf. She mostly works remotely but sometimes she will have to go to the office for a few hours (1-2 max). As I always work from home and the kid is really sweet, I don't mind babysitting. O...

AITA for “not letting my mom be a grandma”

So I just had a baby and my mother is very excited to have him over when he gets older and she talks nonstop about it. Which frankly I wouldn’t have a problem with except for one thing. She is a habitual chain smoker. She smokes in her car like nobody’s business. She has a three season room with gla*s windows that she smokes inside of, so essentially a part of the inside of her house. To th...

Last week our office manager Sarah started collecting money for a group gift....

I also helped a few times when I could. Some time ago, my sister in law told me she wanted another child because she didn't want their son to b...
