AITA for throwing a cup of cold water on my n**ed husband?

My husband has been tested for ADHD, but he doesn't have it. He has the kinds of problems that are a*sociated with ADHD, however. He says writing lists, making a schedule, setting alarms, etc, is physically painful for him and he'd rather just deal with oca*sional emergencies rather than be proactive. The specific problem; He often forgets to push the shower diverter valve down. You know, the l...

Man Calls Off Work Gathering At His Girlfriend’s Apartment To Avoid Second-Hand Embarra*sment Due To Her ‘Juvenile-Themed’ Decor

I’ve (M32) been with my girlfriend (F29) for over a year now. She’s smart, funny, a bit quirky, and has a serious job with a good salary. We have a great time together and generally get along very well. The only thing is her choice in home ‘decor’ is bizarre, to put it frankly, and not som**hing you think a normal, grown adult would be into. Her apartment is definitely a reflection of herse...

AITA for telling my husband he cared more about his bathroom time then his own his own kid?

I (27f) am married to a man (34m). Together we have 2 children. His daughter (11), and a son we shared (4). We’ve been married for 6 years. We have the older girl on a 50/50 schedule. The way it works out, she is at our house typically 3-4 nights a week and then her mother’s house the same amount of time. A BIG area of conflict between my husband and I is that he feels he doesn’t get enough ...

AITA for refusing to pay for my daughter's boyfriend's meal?

I'm a mother of a 24 year old daughter "Christine". Christine moved back to our hometown after obtaining her college degree and met her current boyfriend Simon (30). I'm not a big fan of Simon but we're civil enough to be around each other. The other day I called Christine to invite her for lunch to catch up. She agreed to come, but unbeknownst to me, she brought Simon with her. I was slightly ...

The day comes and we go in separate cars there. We all eat and my wife slides the bill (700+) and proceeds to say. “The man should always pay for the wife and her friends.” I laugh awkwardly saying why. ...

AITA for refusing to let my husband drive my son to school with his stepsiblings anymore?

My ex husband and I have custody of our 11 yo son. He's diabetic and since his diagnosis is relatively new, we're still working on managing things for him so he could continue to live a normal life just like other kids. His stepdad is responsible for dropping him off/picking him up from school since his stepsiblings attend the same school. The issue began when my son started asking me or his bi...

Husband Humiliated Me in Front of His Parents Because I Bought Him 'Cheap' Sneakers for Christmas

My (F29) husband (M33) is the breadwinner and I'm a sahm. We used to both work but due to medical problems I couldn't keep working. As a result I don't have what they call fun money or money to spend however I want. My husband gives me money only to spend on the house or the kids but that's that. I might borrow money here and there or try to figure som**hing out if I needed essential stuff lik...

AITA for not paying my boyfriend back after he didn't get me the right birthday cake?

I definitely have a bit of a complex about this kind of stuff because of how I grew up—always with my siblings getting what they asked for while I almost never did, and generally feeling like I never "get my turn" at things, so it will be helpful to know if I'm justified or overreacting. My bf and I have been dating for 10 months and it was my birthday yesterday. I put a lot of effort into birt...

AITA for withholding from my children that my husband had a wife and child before he met me? They’ve just found out and are acting like I’ve betrayed them.

My children are 17 and 14 respectively, and I’m hoping the fact that they’re teenagers is the reason for their incredibly s**tty behavior. My husband, before he met me, had a wife and a newborn baby that pa*sed away in Canada due to hazardous road conditions that resulted in a 4 car smash up. No one was at fault, it was a horrific disaster, and my husband was devastated as a result and fell int...
