AITA for telling a girl that I’m not attracted to her beacause of her appearance?

Yesterday, I (24M) attended a party. There were many of my old friends there. One of the girls, 25?, was someone who I was close to growing up but lost contact with after. The two of us reconnected and talked. She was drinking a bit, although I didn’t. Later on, she was putting her arm around me, holding my hand, etc, which I stopped because I have a girlfriend and I told her so. Then, she a...

AITA for not giving up a house I inherited

I (f 29) was raised in a Christian household. With that came gender roles that were ingrained in me at a young age. My granddad however hated that my parents taught us this way and as I got older I did too. Because of this I became very close with my grandparents instead of my own parents. I also have an older brother that my parents labeled “ the second king of the house”. For more info( impo...

AITA for getting upset when my girlfriend nearly started a kitchen fire?

I am 30/m, homeowner. I had been with my girlfriend, 25/f, for about 8 months when we decided to try living together. So we had been living together for 2 months when this happened. We both work full-time and she's also in grad school. She is extremely s**tterbrained, absent-minded, and messy. She was cooking a soup on the stove and apparently went in the other room to do homework, and at s...

AITA for "ruining" my brother's wedding?

My (20f) brother, Nate (28m) is going to get married to his fiancee, Emily (32f) in a week. I was extremely close to my brother growing up, he's my favorite out of all my siblings. However, when he started dating Emily, we kinda grew apart but we still talk often. Emily, on the other hand, we don't get along at all. She hasn't done anything to me, I haven't done anything to her, we just don't ...

AITA for Leaving My Husband Alone With The Kids For 2 days

I (24f) have 2 sets of twins first set are 5 years old boys and the second set are 3 year old girls. My husband (27) always complains that the house isn't up to his standards and that it's a mess or that I sometimes put on frozen meals instead of cooking a fresh dinner. It's super irritating because I'm expected to do everything just because I work from home he thinks that I have it easier t...

AITA for giving my sister up for adoption?

My adoptive father was diagnosed with cancer, and my adoptive mother got pr****nt for the first time in decades. My adoptive mother always thought she was infertile, but apparently her "miracle" had arrived. She carried on with her pregnancy despite ...

AITA for "hacking" my moms instagram to see if she v***ated NDA?

I'm a nanny for a high profile family. I signed a very extensive and strict NDA. Anyone directly involved in my life, mom, sis, and husband, also signed an NDA. The nanny family recommended this, to talk about the job without getting into any legal trouble or putting them at risk. Recently ran into one of my parents' neighbors, Amber, at the park. Amber asked how the new job was going, then pro...

AITA for being “too honest” about why I don’t drink?

I’m 33 and I had a serious drinking problem since a young age. My dad was an alcoholic so booze never lacked in our house. It nearly k**led me when I was only 27 and was in the ER for alcohol p***oning. It was too close a call and after that things had to change. With my wife’s support, I went to rehab and proud to say I’ve been sober 5 1/2yrs. My flatmate invited our friends over yesterday....

AITA for being too honest about having a baby?

So as I write this I'm feeding my 7 week old son. I am totally in love with him, he is amazing. However... The process of bringing him into the world was not good. At. All. I had incredibly bad morning sickness, to the point that I weighed less at the end of my pregnancy than before I conceived (my bmi was 23 pre pregnancy). I could barely walk due to bad hips, my stomach muscles tore apart, an...

AITA for for ruining my own gender reveal party?

I'm pr****nt with a baby boy due in November. My fiancé and I didn't care much about the s*x of our child, so we didn't make too much noise about it once we found out. The only people we'd informed were our parents, their partners and our siblings. Prior to this, my father's girlfriend of 3 years had been asking me about my plans for a gender reveal party. I've always been clear about not wanti...
