I Locked Myself In The Bedroom While Sick And My Partner Is Furious I Didn't Parent

I (27F) have three children (8M, 6M, 3F). My partner and I both work, but since my hours are more flexible I’ve picked up most of the childcare such as dropping the children off at school/childminder, picking them up, taking them park, doing homework etc as well as 50% housework so meals, ironing etc. My partner will help, after a little nagging as well as usually taking the children out to th...

AITA for "babying my wife at the expense of my children"?

I've been married to Lacey for 18 years. We have a great marriage and two daughters. The 16 year old isn't relevant in this and we'll call the 14 year old Madison. Madison and Lacey have been clashing a lot lately and that's what inspired this post. So I absolutely love my wife, but she is ridiculous, and vain, and still my favorite person in the world. Lacey cares excessively about appearance ...

AITAH for demanding my boyfriend’s sister pay me back for the cost of the spiritual materials she threw out?

I (28F) have been a practicing pagan witch for over a decade. My faith and spiritual practice are deeply personal and important to me. Over the years, I’ve created several altars for different deities I worship and work with. Some of those altars rotate in and out of active use depending on where I’m at in my practice so I keep them neatly packed away in labeled storage boxes. My main altar, h...

AITA for respecting my late wife’s wishes about keeping her family out?

My wife unfortunately pa*sed away last year when our daughter was only 3 months old. It was very difficult to get through but my little girl and I are keeping it together. My daughter is 16 months now and there’s been pressure from my wife’s sister to let her side of the family see my daughter. The issue is my wife had absolutely no contact with her family since she was 18, so 16 years of not s...

AITA for telling my mom her husband is just the guy she cheated on my dad with?

My parents divorced when I (27f) was 10 because my mom had an affair. How do I know? Because her affair partner turned husband was also married and his wife at the time showed up at our house after the affair came out both sides and yelled it all over the place. She had to be removed by the cops and she showed up a few more times over the next two years. My mom blamed my dad for me finding out...

Girlfriend Says I'm Not Her Daughter's Dad So I Stopped Paying For Everything

Me and Diomara (12F) have had a rough summer. She's been more defiant than usual. I've been dating her Mom Mara (30F) for 2 years now. 9 moths ago, they moved in with me, Maple (33M). Both Dio and Mara have an on again/off again relationship with Dio's Dad (Dynasis). He's pretty much never paid child support, comes and goes as he pleases into Dio's life. Typical s**tty-a*s part time Dad. I...

AITA for telling my boyfriend I wouldn't pretend to be Japanese to impress his old high school friends ?

I (23f) am a Chinese woman living in America. My boyfriend (23m) is American and white. I am somewhat aware of a weird thing for Asian women some white American guys have. But most of my boyfriend's exes are African-American so I thought I was in the clear. He's going to attend a event that includes many friends from high school. He told me he wants his friends to think I'm Japanese. He said I...

AITA for telling my husband to throw the breakfast away because he kept complaining about how he didn’t want it?

I’m 26F and my husband is 29M and food has been a constant stressor in our household. My husband is a super picky eater and he’s been eating out everyday 3 times a day the last few months due to his mental health and McDonald’s and KFC makes him feel good. We both agreed that it’s not really good for his health or the wallet so I’ve been trying my best to cook food that’s appealing to him. He ...

Wife Demanded I Give Back My Tip Because I Served Her Husband a Beer

I'm a 22 year old, female waitress at Texas Roadhouse. This is one of my two jobs to put myself through college. Most days are fine but other days are a living h**l. Yesterday I was a*signed a table that had a husband, wife and what appeared to be a teenage daughter (maybe 17). Everything was going smooth at first and the wife ordered a margarita. The husband then tried ordering a beer. The...

AITA for not giving my brothers wife a role in my wedding?

Long story short my brother married Gemma 4 years ago. She and I have a history. She was a bully in high school and I was one of her targets. She bullied me until it got to the point my parents changed my school because I was struggling. I have a history of anxiety disorder as well as depression (that was later diagnosed as major depressive disorder). She made me so uns**ble and took joy in it...
