AITA for not listening to my wife and eating the wrong cookie?

I worked a ten hour shift yesterday, and had little to eat but bubblegum and some cheap hot chocolate. I came home to a voice message whereas my wife had picked up a cookie for me from the local bakery, and another specific cookie for our young daughter, which she could have when she came home from school. Overjoyed, partially because I was hungry and partially because my wife and I had been at...

AITA for telling my boyfriend I would have preferred lunch over groceries when his card declined at the store?

Today, my boyfriend (30m) and I (30f) were working from home, and we didn’t have many groceries at home to cook a decent meal with. My boyfriend offered to go get me lunch as I was quite hungry but busy with work, a very nice offer which I joyfully accepted, asking for some $11 sushi from the grocery store. After a rather long period of time (the store is about 5 minutes away, and he came back...

Girlfriend Is Out Of The House After She Refused To Buy Her Boyfriend's Daughter A $3 Cake Pop When He Gave Her $300 For Their Girl's Day Out

I (17F) have been living with my dad (45M), his girlfriend of 2 years (33F), and her daughter (13F) for a couple of months now while my mom (40F) is visiting my sick grandfather in Sweden. I've only ever stayed at my dad's on weekends so it's been hard getting used to living with his gf and her kid full time. The kid is super whinny and pretty spoiled because gf dotes on her so I usually just ...

AITA for keeping a $300000 prize to myself when I originally planned to share it with my boyfriend?

My (26f) boyfriend (27m) is really into cars. He recently discovered a charity project where they fixed up an old Jaguar. It's worth around $300000. You could buy a ticket for $50 to enter and the money went towards a good cause. My bf is broke at the moment so I offered to go halves with the ticket. He didn't want to because then the car wouldn't be his completely. I wasn't too worried about i...

AITA for showing my husband the text his mom sent me and causing her to be disowned?

To start me and my mother in law have never gotten along. She hates my guts and can be oversensitive often times. I tried not to give her the wrong impression about me but we just don't like each other. Sunday, I was feeling sick (I'm a new mom btw) and couldn't eat what she cooked for dinner and she seemeed to take it personal. She sent me a private message of what seemed to be her final straw...

My brother and his wife are trying to evict me from my own living room

My brother lost his job along with all his savings several months ago, and soon after he asked me if it would be okay if he (28M) and his wife (30F) stayed with me until they could afford their own place again. I hesitated at first, considering I only have a 1 bedroom apartment, but according to them they had 'no other options' so of course I invited them over and bought a blow-up mattress for...

AITA for insisting my boyfriend eat respectfully at a nice restaurant?

So my boyfriend (20M), L, and I (20F) have been dating for 7 months. We usually eat take out if we want to get som**hing to eat. However, I recently was promoted so we went to eat at a VERY nice Italian restaurant to celebrate. Like, one with an enforced dress code. My boyfriend is not the nicest of eaters, which can be kind of gross but I deal with it. However, I didn’t realize he had no t...

My MIL Secretly Baptized Our Son Behind Our Backs and My Wife Thinks It Is No Big Deal

My wife and I have a 2-year old son and have been married for 4 years. Our anniversary was a month ago and we found a nice, secluded cabin on AirBnB and rented it out for a long weekend getaway. My wife asked her parents if they would be willing to watch our son and they agreed as long as we dropped him off at their house. That worked for us since it was on our way anyway. I was raised luth...

My SIL Broke My Only Birthday Gift And Now My Husband Says I'm The Problem

35F and my SIL is 46F. I have 3 children, the oldest being 16M. For my birthday last week my son went out and bought me this swinging hammock chair that I had been wanting for 2 years and it cost him quite a bit of his saved money (which I fully intend to put back in to his bank account so he can continue saving). He was so excited to see me open this gift and couldnt wait to help me set it up...

AITA for telling my husband he exaggerated when he said my kids ruined his daughter's birthday?

Last week was my stepdaughter's (SD) 14th birthday. She was in the hospital days prior for a medical issue and now she's better. My husband threw her a small birthday party. Unbeknowest to me, my boys (16) & (12) decided to pull a funny prank and mess with the birthday cake that they made for her. Instead of adding icing on the cake, they added mayonnaise. It didn't go well and my SD's reac...
