AITA for wearing an Iron Maiden T-Shirt to my first meeting with my girlfriend's parents?

I (28m) have been dating my girlfriend (23f) for a few months. Things have gone well; we get along well so far and I really care about her and hope things work out with us.

If it's relevant her parents are Indi...

AITAH for thinking that marriage counselling is just my wife trying to break up with me through a proxy?

I [39M] and my wife [36F] are obviously going through a less than awesome marital phase, and she's suggested that we try couples counselling. Other than the fact that it sounds absolutely horrible, I'm pretty sure there's zero point. My wife is pretty much perfect. She's smart, kind, funny, well liked by everyone who meets her. She's a professionally successful doctor, and I'm an unemployed ...

AITAH for telling my boyfriend to get up earlier?

Me (37F) and my partner (35M) are at an impa*se. I work a full time job in a very physically demanding environment, and my partner is unemployed (for about ~2 years now). Recently , he has been getting up extremely late in the day and going to sleep at around 4am after playing some video games from about 12. I’ve been on night shifts this month, so I’ve been unable to get certain errands done d...

AITA for laughing at my wife’s name choice for our son?

My (35M) wife (32F) is pr****nt. She’s due in 2 weeks and I am beyond excited because this would be my first child and I’ve always wanted to be a dad. Yesterday, we were in bed together, talking about our baby. All of a sudden she jumps up excited with a huge smile on her face. She told me to stay on the bed because she had a surprise for me. She went into our closet and grabbed a box. It was ...

AITA for getting my daughter's ears peirced without telling my husband?

Me f26 and my husband m32 welcomed our daughter several months ago. So far we've agreed on every decision made regarding our daughter but the topic of peircing her ears came up and he said he didn't like the idea despite me explaining that 1. It's normal thing for babies and 2. It looks pretty 3. no it's not cultural we're both white but it's a great new experience imo. He said he needed time ...

Me [M33] and my wife [F30] were robbed while we were out on a date. My wife is mad I didn’t “stand up for her”. AITAH for not risking our lives over our wallets.

Me and my wife were out on the town for a date night (we don’t get to go out often). Everything was fine, had a few drinks, and finally decided to walk home. We only live a few blocks from the restaurant we were at and never had any issues in the past (live in a somewhat nice upper middle cla*s area). We decide to cut through the park have a night romantic walk at night. Well shortly after ...

AITA for not wanting my (29F) husband (31M) to teach our future baby Spanish?

I am currently 37 weeks pr****nt so we are getting ready to receive our girl. The problem is my husband has recently told me he wants to teach her Spanish too. The thing is, he isn’t even Spanish! He was born here but lived on Spain since he was 4 until he was 19. Now, if he had some sort of cultural or family connection to Spain then I might consider it. But he is American! When he initial...

Redditor Doesn't Want To Help His Exhausted Wife With Their Baby Because He Wants To Play Video Games In His Time Off

My wife and I have a six month old baby girl. She's mostly a SAHM, she works two half days a week and her sister watches the baby. I work full time and go to school one day a week. We've always had an arrangement where she takes care of the household duties (cooking, cleaning, and now baby care) while I happily support her monetarily. Honestly, we are both living our dream life and my wife doe...

AITA for not giving my girlfriend (25f) my dinner after I had already bought her dinner?

My girlfriend (25F) and I (29M) live in NYC and there's a popular app where you buy leftover restaurant food. Restaurants advertise "surprise bags" at a reduced price in order to reduce foodwaste. The customer doesn't know what they're getting until they pick the food up, but the cost at least 3x lower than the normal menu price. (EG if an entree is usually $24, the restaurant is allowed to ch...

AITA for telling my husband I'd be telling the court about his sleepy driving incident if he files for divorce?

Our son is a talented tennis player. My husband and I were both college athletes. He almost went professional for baseball. And I used to mentor girls who ended up becoming NFL cheerleaders. My parents never had the money or dedication to support me pursuing what I loved- I made the best of it, but wanted it to be different for my son. He gets intensive pre professional training. Because of ...
