AITA for telling my to be granddaughter in law some l**d advice after my family asked for some ‘grandmotherly wisdom’?

My good friend Gracie made me aware a few weeks ago of a phrase that made both of us laugh til we were sore, a dirty phrase which is ‘the key to a successful marriage is to keep a mans stomach full and balls empty’. Both of us are in our 70’s and jovial and sprightly if I may say so. I liked the phrase – it was funny, and it stuck around in my mind. My family are aware I have a filthy sense of ...

AITA for shouting at my boyfriend for telling his friends and family I m***ered his firstborn?

I fell pr****nt earlier this year by my boyfriend and since we're both 23 and not s**ble enough, I told him I was planning to abort. He said he didn't support that decision but it wasn't his choice so he'll just go with it. I had the procedure and we continued dating but now I've heard from a mutual friend that he tells them and his family that I m***ered his firstborn or some bu****it like th...

AITA for refusing to k**l the office spider despite one of my colleagues being scared of it?

I’ve had a spider in my office space for a few months now. She’s a cool, small, little thing who chills near my desk and occasionally I bring her lil treats to eat. Sometimes she disappears and sometimes she comes back. I’ve named her. I like her. My colleague Mich**le is aware of the spider, and is always complaining that it’s a pest and needs to be k**led. Recently she saw the web, not ev...

AITAH For Telling My SIL That I’ve Had Four Miscarriages When She Said I Didn’t Understand Her Loss?

I’m married and a momma to a one year old daughter. My husband and I actually had a very difficult time becoming parents. I’ve had four miscarriages (four before my daughter was born), but I’m honestly just so thankful that we have her. I don’t typically speak about my fertility issues, and the only people who know how about my miscarriages my parents, husband, and two older sisters. My husb...

AITA for saying that my husband’s reaction to a miscarriage is excessive?

My husband, 27m, has a long time friend who we'll call Bill - 31m. The two of them met when my husband was 16 and from the way they always tell the story, they've been inseparable ever since. Bill is now married and lives nearby with his wife. They announced their pregnancy a while ago and my husband was absolutely overjoyed for them. He would visit at often as he could and it seemed like he w...

AITA for fighting with my parents over this (19m)

My mum would always grab my a*s as a kid, call me things like s*xual, and sometimes even lift my bed sheets up to ‘see if i was wearing anything that needed washing’ if she was putting clothes through the washing machine etc. it would always make me uncomfortable but when you’re a child you think it’s normal behaviour. when i turned eighteen she’d ask me questions about my body count, the olde...

AITA for telling my sister som**hing my boyfriend had told me to keep secret?

I (19F) and my boyfriend (19M) were calling and talking to each other on the phone late at night 2 days go. The topic of my boyfriend's good friend "Ross" (18M) had came up and I asked how he was. He told me he is doing well and that he has som**hing to tell me, but before he gets into it he makes me promise that I will not tell anyone because it could possibly turn on him and get him in troub...

AITA For ignoring my best-friend after she told her boyfriend I was trans?

I (20M) have been best-friends with this girl (20F) (who we will call Emma for the sake of this post), since we were in middle school. I transitioned a year after meeting her, so she's pretty much known me as a guy for our entire relationship. She met this guy a few months ago (we'll call him Jake), and they have now been dating for around 6-8 months. Already, I do not like the guy. The deeper...

Aitah for telling my ex's gf she isn't special and he will do it to her too.

I (30F) was only married to my ex husband (32M) for 2 years. We dated for a little over a year before we married. When we were dating everything was fine. He had a lower libido than me but I was fine with how often he wanted to have s*x ( about 2-3X a week). Once we got married that gradually went to maybe twice a month and then nada. The last time he and I had s*x was my birthday... My birthd...

AITAH for going to the police when my ex and his wife shared my n**es?

I feel like I’m in one of those “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should” situations. For background, my ex-boyfriend (Jimmy) shared my n**e photos with his new wife (Jane), who then sent them to her ex-boyfriend (John). John then informed me of this. Apparently, Jane wanted him to compare our bod*es, she was feeling insecure and needed rea*surance. She also, at one point, told John that...

Aita for getting angry at my sil after I found that she's been asking my wife for dna test

My wife gave birth to our baby boy just 2 weeks ago, since then she's been suffering from mood swings and gets angry quite easily. I thought it was postpartum, so I tried to convince my wife to seek help from a professional, to which she refused. She kept refusing, so I just gave up instead of forcing her. I started providing as much emotional and physical support as I could, but I didn't know...

AITAH for asking to use my vibrator with my boyfriend

Last night I (18f) initiated s*x with my boyfriend (19m.) In our s*x life I would say there’s not much foreplay what so ever, except him asking for oral beforehand. When he tries oral on me it just doesn’t do it for me. But i’ve voiced that I like making out, teasing, and ma*sages. When asking for them they never last long to have me turned on or have much effort put into them. For context ...
