AITAH for... letting som**hing happen with my wife and my nephew?

My wife (30s) and I (40s) have been married for a while. We've had an open aspect to our marriage for some time, som**hing we've always discussed and navigated carefully. It's usually with other couples or people we don't have a strong personal connection with. My nephew (19) has been staying with us for a few weeks. He's a good kid, trying to figure things out, and we were happy to help him ou...

Aita for telling my daughter the truth about being pr****nt/giving birth?

So I’m a mom of three kids. My oldest kid is my daughter, 23, and she’s four months pr****nt right now with her first baby. She and her boyfriend are really excited to be parents and are preparing way ahead of time. They’ve made a birth plan, they’re buying baby clothes, in talks with a doula and midwife, etcetera. She’s the first of any of her friends to have kids, so she’s been coming to ...

AITA for not asking my kids to come to my wedding after they RSVP'd no.

My kids were young when I left their mother. She decided that she preferred the company of another man to mine. I was heartbroken and humiliated but I dealt fairly in the divorce. My alimony and child support were set and I never missed one payment or a chance to spend time with my kids. Beyond our scheduled time together I did all the dad stuff I came to see them perform in school plays and p...

AITA for refusing to cook the kind of food my husband wants?

I was overweight when I met my husband (M41). Before I started working from home, I (F28) didn’t really care about how healthy our meals were, focusing mostly on comfort food, which my husband loved. Since working from home, I gained two extra hours daily without a commute and started exercising. My family has a history of high blood pressure, making my decision to get in shape urgent. My ...

AITA I outed my closeted uncle after he shamed me for being gay at a family dinner.

I (25M) came out to my family at 20. Most were cool, but my uncle "Dave" (45M) has always been weird about it constantly making comments like, "You don’t have to act so gay," or "When I was younger, men kept that to themselves." I shrugged it off until last week. At a family dinner, Dave started going off about how "Pride parades are just pe***rts wanting attention" and how "real men don’t flau...

AITAH if I left my husband at the ER overnight?

I (29f) and my husband (31m) were visiting his family in another state for a cousin’s wedding. We’ve been married 3 years, no kids yet. My husband likes to drink, and at the reception he definitely overdid it, taking shots with his cousins and ignoring the fact I asked him to slow down because we had to drive back to our Airbnb. Long story short, he ended up tripping over the curb outside the v...

AITA for not letting my parents to be involved grandparents because they chose my sister's friend over me?

I'm (25f) pr****nt with my first child and only a few weeks ago my estranged parents found out about my pregnancy from someone I know back in my home town. They reached out so excited to find out they were going to be grandparents and wanting to be involved but I ignored them and continued ignoring them until two days ago when I replied one time and made it clear they will never know my child or b...

AITA for refusing to replace my nephew’s epipen after he unnecessarily used it because of som**hing I said/my food?

Basically, my nephew has a pretty severe peanut allergy, to the point where they carry an epipen around all the time just in case. From what I know, if he mistakenly eats a peanut or som**hing, they have to use the epipen asap. My brother drops my nephew off at my parent’s house pretty randomly, most of the time he’ll call ahead but sometimes he comes without warning, but my parents are usually...

My MIL tried to turn my kids against us so I banned her from our Christmas dinner

My mother-in-law is a horrible person who loves to create drama whenever she can. Last Christmas, we got both of our kids different gifts as one was a 13-year-old girl and one is a 10-year-old boy. My MIL decided to tell my daughter that she didn't get as many gifts as my brother and that we spent less on her, basically trying to get our daughter to believe that we loved her less. We then ...

AITA For taking some of the money I'm saving for a house to get my son a prosthetic leg?

This has been causing a huge argument with my fiancé and I been trying to get a solution but it's a d**d end. I [43M] lost my wife to a horrific auto accident, I have an 11 year old son who was with his mom when the accident happened and resulted in him losing a limp. It was absolutely devastating. My son never accepted that this is how his life will be. Despite therapy, he still had too ma...

AITA? For telling my brother and his wife that I will be suing them for selling the nursery I gave them?

I (f36) lost my 3 year old son from a chronic condition that he was born with. I struggled a lot with his illness and received a lot of support from my family when my ex husband was too busy with work than care for his son. When my brother and his wife found out they were expecting (they suffered from a miscarriage after a miscarriage) and because of their financial situation I decided to lend ...

AITA for having fun in front of miserable people?

My husband and I rent a house with his brother and wife. We live in a very expensive city and this is quite a big house with great metro access, so that's what's convenient. We get along fine usually. My husband and I have a son. He's just turned five. The early years were the normal struggle of trying to teach basic human functioning to a kid, but now it's become so fun! During this time there...
