AITA for telling my identical twin sister to stop calling us "fat twins" ?

I (23f) have an identical twin sister who loves the idea that we have a psychic connection. We were thin during our childhood. I stayed in my home state and she went to a university in a different state. While far away, we both got very overweight and we're only 20 pounds apart. My sister is back in our home state and she's amazed that we had a similar change. She's been calling us "fat twin...

AITA for telling my wife that she was a better wife/lover/mother when she was fat ?

My (37m) wife (39f) used to be so kind, compa*sionate, fun, funny, and s*xy. She was overweight for most of her life, and lost the weight in late 2024. We use to have so fun together. She used to spend a lot of time with the kids. Now, she doesn't spend much quality time with the kids. She's going out all the time. She admitted that she dresses and acts in a way to get attention from young ...

AITA for telling my fat friend stop talking about getting in shape?

Little background information about myself: I am in good physical shape. I d*et and meal prep. Pretty much your average gymbro. My friend on the other hand is medically obese and a gamer. Every couple of months he’ll go on about how he wants to change his life, get in shape, d*et and be consistent in the gym. Then he’ll ask me for the same advice I gave countless times. Complain about his l...

AITA for using the term "fat fingered"?

On a Teams call presenting an Excel file to 10+ people, mostly clients. I apologized to the group for a formula error, exact words were "Sorry everyone, I must have fat fingered the keys." This was met with a brief, but stern reprimand from one of the clients who said my phrasing was "denigrating to overweight people". I quickly apologized and moved on, but later in the day was irritated that ...

AITA for ‘fat shaming’ my brother’s girlfriend?

There's been a recent tiktok trend of couples filming a video where the boyfriend picks up the girlfriend. My brother's gf had been wanting to do it for a while, and he initially didn't want to. He didn't bring it up, but I think it did have to do with her weight, as she's heavier than him and I think he didn't want to make her feel bad by not being able to pick her up. She insisted, and he ...

AITA for saying I don’t want to be my friend’s “fat bridesmaid aesthetic”?

I (29F) have a friend, (30F), who’s getting married in October. We’ve been close since college but lately it feels like I’m just... aesthetic filler to her. She picked her bridal party dresses without asking for input and they’re tight. Like SKIMS-meets-sausage-casing tight. I'm a size 16. The other girls are size 2–6. I asked if there were other options and she laughed and said, “Nooo I love ...

AITA for calling my wife a fat c**t after she admitted to cheating on me ?

I (53m) have 4 kids with my wife Karen (52f). I understand that in the looks department, I'm far from the man she married. I'm 228 pounds at 6 feet 2, and I'm bald. But in the looks department, Karen had also changed. She's over 300 pounds at 5 feet 9, her b**bs are saggy, she's wrinkled, and her formally blonde hair is now grey. I thought she was s*xy as she is. She was the one turning down s*x...

AITA for refusing to go on a double honeymoon?

I (33M) used to be married to my best friend “Callie” (33F). I’m gay, she’s a lesbian. We grew up in a conservative town in the Deep South where coming out wasn’t really an option. So when we were 20, we got married. It was a way to avoid questions and stay safe. We moved out of state a few years later, got divorced soon after. There was no drama; we were always just friends, and we’ve stay...

Aitah for canceling our honeymoon?

My husband, D*ego, and I got married three weeks ago. It was a beautiful wedding, but incredibly exhausting for both of us. We had planned our honeymoon in Bali, a trip we had dreamed about since getting engaged. Everything seemed perfect, until it wasn’t. A few days before we were supposed to leave, D*ego’s mom, Carmen, called him crying. She claimed her health had worsened and that she ne...

So, my (30F) husband (31M) and I just got married last month and planned a dream honeymoon two weeks in Greece, just the two of us, relaxing, exploring, and enjoying our time as newlyweds. Flights, hotels, excursions all booked and paid for. Enter my sister (26F), who was supposed to move in with her boyfriend around the same time. Unfortunately for her (and I mean unfortunately in the leas...
