AITA for backing out of cooking for my husband after he hid my keyboard?

Last night I f34 was on my computer when my husband came home from work, he seemed a bit annoyed when he saw me and asked if I cooked dinner (I'm the sahp with 2 kids, one of them is 9 months old and my husband is the sole income earner) I said not yet and he got mad at me for not doing it earlier and spending so much time on the keyboard (I write novels as a hobby) but I told him I just sat down ...

AITA for making my (germaphopic) husband change our son's diaper?

My husband M27 and I f25 have a 2 months old together. He does everything almost except changing diapers. He's a hardcore germaphobe so I handle the dirty part of our son's care. So my husband's been pestering me about the faces I make when changing our son's diapers. Telling me to smile all the time. I told him to leave me alone, it's easy for him to say when he's not the one dealing with the ...

AITA, Wife (32) wants to get rid of our dog. I (30) do not.

My wife and I have been married for three years. Having grown up with dogs all her life, she insisted we get a puppy once we were married. We both work from home so there is always someone in the house with her. I'd never have a dog before, but could see this was important to her so said yes and got us a pup. My wife never really bonded with the dog as I did, and I'm the dogs favourite. I d...

AITA for not giving my cat for adoption because my GF has a phobia?

My GF of two years is scared of cats, and I mean REALLY scared of cats. I have had this cat for 7 years. At first when she came to my place I had to take the cat outside, close all windows or doors and make sure my cat didn't sneak up to play with me or som**hing like that. Long story short, she couldn't take it anymore and told me that she feels really uncomfortable knowing that there is a ca...

AITA for telling my employees they are not required to and can not be required to out pronouns in their email signature?

I'm a low level manager at my job. Recently two girls on my team put "she/her" in their email signatures. I shrugged. Then they sent out an email to the whole team asking us to do it. I sent out another email reminding everyone they are not required to under any company policy and it would be a v***ation of our state's anti-discrimination law to compel any employee to reveal their s*xual orien...

AITA for telling my foster sister she ruined Mother’s Day

I’m (17f) the youngest of 6 kids. I’m the only one still at home full time and my parents decided the house felt too empty so they started fostering Lola (9) a few months ago. Lola’s cute but she’s kinda a pain in the a*s. We have a big sectional recliner. Lola refuses to sit on the couch with us so she has her own chair that is off limits to everyone else. If I want to go out to eat it has to ...

AITA for using 'insulting' wallpapers for my phone's home screen after my coworkers kept touching it?

So I (M28) started working at this company for 6 months. My guy coworkers are decent. However, I noticed a pattern with my female coworkers (a couple of them) which consists of them opening/looking through my phone whenever they get the chance (me using the bathroom/meeting etc). So far I've caught them doing it 3 times. They didn't take som**hing or open any apps because I would've known but ...

AITA for saying that its my sisters fault her husband is divorcing her?

My (27F) sister (32F) is currently in the process of divorce started by her husband (40M). They were married for a total of 2 years. The problem started with BIL wanting his own biological kids (I'll explain later) and my sister not wanting them. She was always against having kids but the moment they started seeing each other, she started making certain changes about herself. He had the courtes...

My husband and I have a 15 year old son, who is biracial; my husband is African American and I am white (this will be important later on in the story). My son just got his driver’s permit and has begun driving with me on a regular basis. The other day we were on the road, and he accidentally cut off a truck, making him have to break abruptly. I scolded my son and gave a “sorry” wave to the ...

AITA for kissing my ex-girlfriend before her parents pulled her off life support?

About a year ago, my ex-girlfriend (I'll call Anna) was involved in a terrible car accident. She received over 20 injuries (lacerated liver, broken ribs, punctured lung, bruised lung, left foot torn off, just to name a few). She had to be flown to the city to receive treatment. I was devastated to hear her go through this. Despite all the efforts, she was kept on a ventilator (per her parents ...
