Reddit User Leaves Ex-Girlfriend In Tears After Saying His New Girlfriend Is Better In Every Way

My ex (24f) and I (24m) dated 5 years ago. We were together for about a year, but then she dumped me out of no where for another guy and broke my heart. She and I shared the same circle of friends so I continued to be cordial with her for the sake of our friend group, and we remained friends until we graduated and I distanced her out of my life and no longer speak to her. I'm still close with ...

AITA for Expecting My Husband to Do “My Job” While I’m on Maternity Leave?

I feel like I’m drowning, but maybe I’m the one at fault for expecting too much. I’m 27F and a first-time mom to a 7-week-old baby girl Daisy. She’s beautiful, but she cries all the time. The doctors call it colic, but it feels like I must be doing som**hing wrong. Isn’t a mother supposed to be able to comfort her child? I can’t even manage that. The past few weeks have been a blur of pain,...

AITA for sending my family an angry email because they still speak to my ex-husband and even have him over, especially in light of his present “relationship” with a girl 20 years younger than him?

So basic background is I’m 42, two kids age 14 and 12 and signed divorce papers in April after almost 2 years of it being drug out trying to get my fair share from him. The details of “why” are not important but I’m angry, embarra*sed, lost and sad any given moment of the day. A lot of this has to do with feeling like I’ve been “replaced” by a 23 year old surfing instructor who is everything I...

Woman Tells Her Husband He Deserved To Be Called An I**ot For What He Said To Her Nephews About Their Father During Thanksgiving Dinner

First Thanksgiving without our beloved BIL (Sis' husband, 30s, pa*sed away months ago from a serious medical condition). He and my sister and their kids used to spend Thanksgiving at my parents' house every year. This year, seeing how sad my sister has been, we weren't sure whether she wanted to join us, but were surprised when she showed up with her kids while we were about to eat, and brough...

AITA For lashing out after my husband ruined the food I prepared for our guests?

Me (F26) and My husband (M33, Mike) have been married for a year now. He doesn't cook. He's bad at it. His cooking is the worst despite learning from books/YT videos/me teaching him. It just never works. Every time he steps a foot into the kitchen it turns into a mess. He doesn't know how. Maybe because he's constantly busy with work (Police Officer) and is used to fast food. But he's good ...

WIBTA If I followed through on my ultimatum of not coming to Thanksgiving because of my sister's awful boyfriend?

My younger sister (30F) has been dating "Jerry" for 3 years. He's a loud-mouth who holds ignorant, b**oted, and h**ophobic views. I have no clue what my sister sees in him as no one in my family shares his perceptions. Here's what the first Thanksgiving was like with him (he was meeting my family for the first time). he brought up the recent election and called me a "snowflake" because he knew...

AITA for pouring my girlfriend’s mom’s soup through a colander so I can pick out some vegetables I really don’t like?

My girlfriend’s mom made us a seafood chowder for lunch while we were visiting. She made it before once and it was really good but she adds a few pieces of ginger to flavor it and I really really really hate bitting into ginger. I don’t mind the flavor it imparts, I just hate the taste of actually eating a piece. Last time, I accidentally bit into one since they were hard to see because the ch...

AITA for saying that my relationship with my son is more important than my brother's relationship with his daughter?

My (43M) brother (43M) has a difficult relationship with his daughter (25). His wife comes from a conservative christian church, and when they got married after he got her pr****nt, he pretty much drank their flavor-aid. Lo and behold when she's 17 his daughter comes out as a lesbian. This was an awkward situation to say the least, and it ended up with her living with our parents for the rest ...

Man Doubts His Decision Not To Get His Girlfriend Of 3 Years A Birthday Gift Even Though She's Never Given Him A Gift

My girlfriend and I have been together for almost 3 years. Gifts have been sorta a sore spot, at least for me. So the first year we were together she made me some cake things for my birthday. Which was nice and everything, but then she took like half of them back to give to her family. It just seemed kinda weird like "here's your present but I'm taking part of it back". Then her birthday cam...

I met Connor through Jacob. they were so close and are always in agreement but that changed once Jacob's fiancee "Rachel" came around. Connor told me that Rachel used to be this "fun" girl that slept with nearly every...

I told my wife to MYOB when it comes to our neighbor's weight loss

Our neighbor (f45) had been a bit plump, not really obese, but she could stand to lose a few pounds. Lately, though, she has been losing weight. She does not work out, no cardio, resistance training, etc. My wife guesses that she has been using one of those new prescriptions like Ozempic or Wegovy. She looks good and my wife has told her that. I notice the weight loss but I don't say anythin...
