AITA for noticing that my girlfriend's fibromyalgia sure does seem to flare up at convenient times?

My girlfriend Jenny (26 F) and I (30 M) have been together for a year. She moved in with me about six months ago partially because she had nowhere else to go, but we're living happily together most days. Jenny suffers from a condition called fibromyalgia. It is a really complicated condition that even doctors do not understand all that well, but from what I've researched as a layman, it is a g...

AITA for not eating my meal at my cousins wedding because my dad changed my selection

Several years ago my grandparents had a 50th anniversary party. It was set up kinda like a wedding reception so we had a choice for the meal, the options were 2 different German foods and steak. I was like 16 so I chose steak. Then at the actual event someone couldn't come and orders were mixed up and I ended up with a pickle wrapped in meat. Everyone insisted that was what I picked. So I t...

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....

AITA for taking back the beer I bought for a party from which I was uninvited?

I am a 19 year old man and the people calling me an a*shole are 18 year old men and women. On Thursday, a person I had a major crush on in high school (but who rejected me) messaged me out of the blue. She had never contacted me without my contacting her first, and at one point I realized she had had me blocked on social media, and so I found it odd that she was suddenly being friendly. Aft...

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...

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 ...
