RelationshipI(18F) have a boyfriend (18M) who almost broke up with me for painting my nails white. Well, he actually did break up with me but came by a day later begging for me back so we’re back together now. I’m curious to know what people think of the situation I’m about to describe. So, for context, my boyfriend is very serious about what I wear and how I present myself. He doesn’t like when I wear an...
RelationshipI (22F) and my brother (20M) are attending different colleges, but they're both in the same city. I'm cla*smates with this guy (22M), let's call him "David". He's really handsome, fit and smart, but also quiet the player. Most of my female friends have had one night stands with him and there are rumors going around about him sleeping with half the college, including some of the teachers. So im...
OtherOur son just graduated college. He was extremely studious in high school, and was able to get a full scholarship to the school of his choice. The college fund we saved for him therefore went untouched. Our daughter is a couple years older than our son. Despite our best efforts, she was never the greatest student, so while she was able to go to college, she received no scholarship money. The...
ParentingI am 32F, my husband Jack is 36M. We have Lydia (5F), Carol (2F) and Solomon (8 monthsM) together. Jack has Enephrine (8F) from a different marriage. It's our last week of summer before the kids start school, so we decided to rent a lovely little beach cottage for the week. It's a common theme in my family to take Christmas card photos while on vacations, so naturally I wanted to take the photo...
![AITA for calling my husband ridiculous and refusing to take the list of expectations he gave me for his ["birthday month"]?](https://pb.ankitchaurasia.com/api/files/reddit_posts/43b075ld2kwtt3j/featured_img_hc8nv5477t.png)
RelationshipMy husband is turning 30 next month. It's a big deal for him clearly and he wanted to rightfully be "pampered" and feel special on this oca*sion. But the thing is that he came up with a list and called it "birthday month expectations" I didn't know what that meant til he started reading the list out loud which consists of things he expects from throughout the entire month. To give few exampl...
OtherMy family is low key wealthy, but my parents have made sure that we are never flashy about it. We live in the same place we've lived for about 15 years, don't have flashy clothes and cars, and generally make sure we're spending money on experiences rather than objects. My younger sister, who is totally spoilt and for some reason feels extremely ent*tled to "her share" of the wealth, just turned...
RelationshipMy boyfriend "Dan" (M27) and I (F25) both work full time. Dan and his friends (4 guys, all late 20s) all work from home, and they like to meet up and hang out when they work. They rotate between their houses, meeting up for lunch and extending that into a post-work hangout. Dan & I live together. One of my biggest pet p*eves is having random people in my house when I get home from work. I hate ...
OtherI’ve been taking oral contraceptives for about 6 years now. When I first started, I was worried about what other people would think (I was raised in a pretty “s*x-is-taboo” household) and hid that I was taking them very well. Now, however, I’m in my mid twenties and I’m comfortable enough in my skin that I don’t really mind if people know I’m on the pill. Anyway, I was out on a double date ...
OtherI (28f) was in a very toxic and abusive relationship at the age of 13. I ended up getting pr****nt (I obviously didn't want to at that age) but, thankfully (in my mind) I miscarried around 6 weeks. My ex was devastated and because I was still with him and felt like I had to , I said I was as well. As I've aged I've come to realize that I was glad it happened. My mind told me, even at 13, t...
Family ConflictI (15M) have been alternating weeks between my parents homes basically my whole life. They split up when I was a baby and have both remarried since. I've been happy for the most part. I love my step dad and my siblings (have some on both sides). My only issue has been my step mom. Tbh, I wouldn't say I had any real issues in the past. I do find her more annoying with more strict rules then ...
Family ConflictI (23F) let my aunt (35F) and her four young kids (8M, 7M, 4F, and 2M) stay in my one-bedroom apartment last Tuesday after she escaped her abusive boyfriend of 11 years. She called me from 4 hours away saying she had nowhere to go, he had tried to k**l her and the kids. When she arrived, they had nothing. I fed them, got them clothes, made sure they were safe. I took two days off work, found he...
OtherThis actually happened over 10 years ago but they can’t let it go. My (now 45f) and husband (47m) was at him mom’s house with his sister (52 now) and many other family members including many small children. I was at work and arrived 2 hours after “the incident”. My 20 month old 19lb baby girl was walking down the hall toward the bedrooms. My SIL was with her. She went into her room and my ba...
