AITA for considering ending my not terrible marriage because being a stepfamily just isn't working?

My husband (40m) was a widower when we met. I (36f) was a single woman who had never been married before. My husband has a daughter April (13) from his first wife. April was 5 when her mom d*ed, 7 when my husband and I met, 8 when she and I met and 11 when we got married. Things with April were okay before I got pr****nt. And by okay I mean we weren't very close and she wasn't calling me mom o...

AITAH for breaking up with my boyfriend after having a terrible s**ual encounter?

So my name is lily, I'm 29, and I was with this guy who is 32. We had a pretty great relationship, I was really happy. One night, we were doing what most couples do, when all the sudden he put a lubricant on an area I've never wanted to have penetrated. Basically, I began saying "I really don't want to have that kind of s*x, I'm not comfortable", yet he didn't care. He just did it anyway. I wa...

AITA for purposefully sleeping with someone to completely END a 14 year relationship?

I 32 (F) was with my high school sweetheart 32 (M) for 14 years. He broke up with me the day before my birthday and 3 days before the anniversary of my mom's death. He felt like our life together had become very stagnant, and he wanted more out of life. Also he was having a "flirtation" with a married older woman at work. After the initial break up we kind of talked about it possibly being ...

AITA for telling my sister her husband was cheating on her with her best friend and now their marriage is over, and my parents are furious with me?

So this is a mess. I (32F) found out som**hing awful a couple months ago, and now it feels like my whole family is crumbling. My sister (Emily, 34F) has been married to John (36M) for 7 years. Everything seemed fine in their marriage until I noticed... som**hing off. Emily’s best friend Sarah has been around since we were kids. She’s like family, so none of us ever questioned how close she was...

AITA for having my mother yell at me for having int*****rse with my girlfriend in MY own apartment when we’re both 26 years of age?

So, I (26M) live with my girlfriend (26F) in an apartment that I pay for. We've been together for three years, and our relationship is great. We're both working professionals, fully independent, and, like any normal couple, we even have an active s*x life. Enter my mother (54F). She’s always been a little overbearing, but since I moved out when I started dating my gf, I thought things had gotte...

AITA for telling my boyfriend that if he’s uncomfortable with my daughter’s body then he isn’t mature enough to live with us?

I want to start out by saying that before allowing my boyfriend of 5 years to move in I made absolutely sure that my daughter (17f) was okay with it. She and him have always been close, and she’s told me every time I ask that she really likes him and he’s great. About a week ago I came home from work to them arguing. I asked my daughter what was going on and she said to ask him. I did and he sa...

AITAH for calling the cops on my girlfriend?

My girlfriend (24) moved into my (21) apartment last week. Everything was great, we met with the landlord today to talk about adding her to my lease. We had what started as a small argument tonight. She turned off my TV while I was playing a game, not a huge deal but still frustrating. I looked at her and said “really babe?” and she stormed off to my bedroom yelling about how it was an acciden...

AITAH for refusing to help my girlfriend pay off her credit card debt before we move in?

I’m 30 and my girlfriend’s 28 here is my dilemma. So we’ve been together almost three years. Things have been good overall. We’ve talked a lot about the future and were planning to move in together soon like actively browsing apartments kind of soon. Then last week she tells me she has around $9,000 in credit card debt. I didn’t know about it before. I asked why she didn’t mention it earlier a...

AITA my wife became emotionally abusive since giving birth, she topped it off by cheating, now she is begging me to reconsider

I (28m) have been married to my wife (27f) for 2 years together for four. 14 months ago we had our first baby, she hasn't gone back to work and I have been the sole breadwinner (her choice), and since she gave birth my wife became a nightmare to deal with. She became irritable, angry at me for the smallest reasons, complains about everything, everything is somehow my fault, all she does is hold...

AITA for recording my wife without her consent?

So, this happened a couple of days ago, and honestly, I’m not sure if I went too far. My wife (29F) and I (31M) got into a ma*sive argument. It started out over som**hing small, like ch**es or bills—I can’t even remember, to be honest—but it escalated fast. She was getting really worked up, like full-on screaming at me, and I admit, I was yelling too. Here’s where I might’ve messed up. My w...

AITAH for still not letting my girlfriend know that my family is wealthy?

I (26M) have been dating (let's say Emma) (25F) for 3 months now. Things are great between us but she has no idea my family is very wealthy. My family's business is agriculture and I don't wanna mention any name due to privacy reasons, but let's say they're one of the biggest companies in the states. I grew up with money (private school, nice vacations and all that stuff) but my parents raised ...

AITA for wanting to split inheritance money equally between my kids when my wife wants to prioritize one?

Recently came into some money and facing a difficult situation with my wife about how to distribute it between our three children. I believe the fairest approach is to split it equally three ways. My wife, however, wants to give a larger portion to one of our kids. The money is enough to make a meaningful difference in each child's life if split evenly. While I understand the instinct to gi...
