AITA for ordering fried pork intestine at a Chinese restaurant my GF took me to?

Me (24M) and my girlfriend (23F) of two years went out to an asian restaurant yesterday. I’m a white guy, she’s asian, and she had been saying all before we went how I shouldn’t be afraid to try the real Chinese food that they have there, and I kept saying I was looking forward to it because I love trying new things, but every time I said that she just raised an eyebrow and went “we’ll see…” We...

AITA for not accommodating my brother in law during my birthday dinner and telling him his taste wasn't my priority?

I (26f) recently had a birthday. Some family and I went out to dinner to celebrate. The guests were me, my husband, my parents, his parents, my two brothers and sister, and my husbands brother. My brother in law is weird about eating out. He'll only order a burger or fries and chicken nuggets in a food place, no matter how fancy, no matter how much choice there is. He goes so far as not even lo...

AITA for helping my girlfriend’s maid clean?

I’m visiting my girlfriend’s family for the first time and they’re kind of rich. They have a maid who comes and tid*es up for a bit every day. My family isn’t broke, but we’ve never had people working for us, and it made me super uncomfortable. Like, who am I to have someone serving me and cleaning around me while I sit there? I can’t imagine if my mom were witnessing that. She’d flip. ...

AITA for refusing to do anything that my girlfriend wanted me to during my two weeks off work?

I (29m) have lived with my girlfriend (32f) for just under a year. We've been seeing each other for three years and change. Recently I earned a promotion at my work. I've worked my b**t off for this promotion for several years and have barely taken any time off during that duration. When I found out about my promotion--and that they wouldn't actually need me for my new role for about a month--I...

AITA for not helping to pay for my sister's college, even though I could easily afford to?

I'm 29, my sister is 27. We're polar opposites. I've always worked hard and taken risks to succeed. My sister has always slacked off and never put any real effort in to succeed. She tried attending college but spent all her free time partying/smoking pot/sleeping around and ended up failing half her courses in her first year and dropped out. Recently she decided she wants to go back to unive...

My family and I (husband and children) are vegan. We have been for years. His sister and her family lost their home in a fire, and they’re staying with us while they rebuild. My husband and I don’t mind if they bring meat or animal products inti our house, but *we* won’t cook them. Therein lies the problem for Thanksgiving. We have foods such as mushroom gravy, meatless dressing, etc. I offe...

AITA for not following my husband's new religious beliefs?

I (28F) and my husband (29M) met in college and have been married for 6 years. My husband was raised in a strict evangelical household but broke away from those beliefs around the time we met. We had what I thought was a very happy marriage until my husband's father pa*sed away in early 2021 (he received a cancer diagnosis and was gone a few weeks later). My husband was and is, very understand...

AITA for cu***ng off support to my daughter?

I (52M) have three children with my ex Tracy (50F), Michael (28M), Linda (25F), and Victoria (23F). We split because Tracy had an affair with Stan (55M) to whom she is now married. We never shared with the kids the reason for the divorce as I didn't want them to blame either of us. This backfired as the kids saw their mom move out of the house, into a small apartment, and me keep living in the ...

AITA for walking out after I opened the gift my stepson brought me for father's day?

I (M37) have two stepkids (G11 & B16); my stepdaughter is the apple of my eye, but my stepson has a difficult personality. He never does anything with us, never lets me help him, and keeps his distance. He never tells me about his problems or achievements, making it difficult to es**blish a good bond like I have with my stepdaughter. My wife says that's his nature, so I should stop pressuring ...

AITA for walking out of the restaurant over a joke between my Fiance and his friend?

I used to work as a s*x worker in my early to mid 20s. I had no choice; I had to get money to be able to keep my siblings and myself from homelessness. I met my fiancé Martin over a year ago; he knows every single detail about my life and everyday tells me he loves me no matter what. His family are literally saints, so I kind of hit the jackpot in the inlaws dept. However, his friends are n...

AITA for calling my sister’s husband a piece of s**t because he’s representing my ex in our divorce?

I asked my ex for a divorce two months ago and I found out a week later that my sister’s husband was going to be his so***itor. I wasn’t completely surprised as my ex has helped his career a lot but I was still hurt when my sister told me. I’ve avoided him since finding out but my parents invited everyone over for dinner and I missed them so I went. I tried really hard to bite my tongue but he ...
