My F/33 Dad pa*sed away and left me one of his last and favorite ship model, I had it on display in my living room. but for some reason I never actually mentioned it to my boyfriend M/37 of 6 months. Maybe because we don't live together and he don't visit often. The other day he and his friends came over to my place to celebrate his birthday. They got drunk and started throwing the sofas pi...

My husband hid my hair scarf and now he wants marriage counseling for our race issues

For context I’m a black woman and my husband is white. I have 4c hair and I wrap my hair in a satin scarf to go to bed. For those of you who don’t know what that means, basically my hair curl pattern is really tightly coiled so my hair texture is k**ky and easily tangled and easily breakable if not taken care of well. I used to sleep on a satin pillowcase when my hair was shorter and had a lowe...

AITA for "forcing" my boyfriend to do the dishes?

I’m lactose intolerant. Every time I make tacos, my boyfriend always makes jokes about how I’m “disrespecting Mexican culture” by not having cheese in my tacos. I’ve told him multiple times I’m not going to give myself the s**ts just to make him feel better about my friggin’ tacos (he's not even Mexican, he's white.). This came to a head last night when we were having tacos again. I got up to g...

My friend thinks his pr****nt girlfriend stole a baby and is demanding a maternity test

My friend Dan recently found out he might be a father. I say might because the girl he's been having an off/on relationship with, Kara, is pr****nt, and he's not sure if he's the dad. She offered to get a paternity test once the baby is born and doesn't expect any kind of support until they find out if the baby is his. He's on board with that and appreciates that she's not pushing him into fat...

AITA for telling my girlfriend’s friend to watch her mouth when she insinuated that my girlfriend isn’t a real woman?

I went on a dinner double date with my girlfriend, my girlfriend’s friend Amy, and Amy’s boyfriend. We’re all in our early 20s. My girlfriend hangs out with Amy quite often. I see her from time to time, but I’ve never cared for her cheeky att*tude. The tipping point was tonight. Dinner was going alright until Amy’s boyfriend innocently commented on how little my girlfriend ate. She usually ...

Woman Wants to Show Up at Wedding with Bride's Ex-Boyfriend as Her Date

My friend is marrying my ex boyfriend of four years. It's been pretty awkward. I was kicked out of her wedding party because I was uncomfortable wearing a very revealing bridesmaid's gown. This wasn't that big of a deal as we're not exactly close since she got with my ex. However, she still expects me to take on all the duties of a bridesmaid. I told her that was ridiculous and that she needed...

7 years ago I was married and expecting a baby when things went horribly wrong. Around 10 weeks into my pregnancy I suffered a miscarriage and then I returned home to find my husband in bed with my sister. The two of them tried to apologize and convince me that we could all get over it. But I wanted nothing to do with either of them and even less so when I found out she had gotten pr****nt. ...

AITA for calling my boyfriend an insecure little boy after his repeated jokes that I "cheated the system" to get to a career that pays more than his?

Tim and I met in an English literature cla*s our junior year of college, and we’ve been together the ten years since. While he ended up going into IT, I stayed in the liberal arts track and ended up doing non-profit work after college when I realized I didn’t actually want to be a schoolteacher. Just to say that we always a*sumed he’d out-earn me by a considerable margin, though when he made m...

Redditor Defends Wife's Decision Not To B***stfeed, Restricts Family's Access To Newborn Son Amid Unwelcome Criticism

My wife has minor anxiety and ocd. She has been on meds for a long time, but had to go off them when she got pr****nt. None of the pregnancy safe meds worked for her. Pregnancy was really tough for her, she spent a lot of time reading about what foods and activities and such could harm a fetus, and she was basically paralyzed by fear that she was hurting our son whenever she did anything. It w...
