AITAH for telling my husband I won’t cook dinner every night because I also work full-time?

I (30F) have been married to my husband, Tom (32M), for 4 years. We both work full-time jobs—he works in IT, and I work in marketing. Despite us having similar work hours, I’ve somehow ended up being the one who cooks dinner every single night. At first, I didn’t mind because I enjoy cooking, but over time, it’s become exhausting. Some days, I come home after a long day and just want to relax....

AITA for canceling Christmas dinner because my husband’s “secret Santa” gift was for his gaming buddy and not me?

I’m currently hiding in our bedroom with a bottle of wine, while my husband plays video games in the living room, probably telling his online friends how I “ruined Christmas.” My phone is blowing up with texts from his mom, calling me selfish, and I’m debating whether I should just block her until New Year’s. Let me explain what led to this festive meltdown. For context, I (28F) have been m...

I Asked My Wife to Get a Job Now That I’m Retiring and She Called Me Ungrateful

We have two kids who are now 14 and 12(the eldest isn't mine), both in school from 730-3pm, the bus picks them up from the front of our house and drops them off. Sometimes they'll have afterschool activities and stay until 5pm and i'll go pick them up after i get out of work on those days. They're becoming more independent now, and I h...

AITAH Wife spent the night at a friends house

I'll keep this pretty simple. We're both in our 40s. Together 11 years, married for 8. About 2 or 3 years ago my wife ran into her ex-boyfriend, whom she lived with previously. They chatted and caught up with her. To be clear they were part of the same friend group before dating. They'd b*mp into each other about every few and they'd chit chat and catch up on things at a nearby diner. Abo...

Wife wants me to print a 150 page recipe book on a work printer. I don't want to. AITAH?

My wife put in a lot of effort to compile a set of recipies for our dinner cookbook. I contributed by helping her combine 50+ 1 or 2 page recipes into a single PDF document. She wants me to use a work printer to print the book. I don't feel comfortable doing this because (1) I'm part of an IT committee that's looking into misuse of company resources and (2) I don't like being a hypocrite. Her ...

I Told My Wife To Stop Being Useless And Now Her Mother Is Blaming Me

My wife and I have been married for four years. I'm 33 and male, and she's 32. Her name is Steph. Steph is a SAHW, and since we got married, she has been incredibly inconsistent with household labor. I work a physically-demanding job, and it would really help if Steph could at least cook dinner more than once or twice a week. Instead, she sits at the dinner table, hunched over her phone for...

My wife hid an affair from six years ago and says I am crazy for being upset

My wife (34F) and I (36M) have been married for 8 years, together for 10. We’ve built a good life together—happy, or so I thought. Recently, while we were going through some old messages on her laptop (she asked me to help her find an email), I stumbled upon some old texts between her and a guy from work. They were flirty, way too flirty, and when I dug a bit deeper, I realized she had an affai...

AITAH for breaking up with my boyfriend because he said Elon Musk doing the N**i salute wasn’t a big deal?

So this happened yesterday and I’m still feeling conflicted. For context, I have been dating my boyfriend for almost two years. Yesterday, during Donald Trump's inauguration, Elon Musk gave a sp*ech at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. While thanking Trump's supporters, Musk made a gesture that many interpreted as a N**i salute. I was shocked when I saw the footage. I showed it to him,...

Girlfriend ate my birthday cake last year so I banned her from having any this time

Last year on my birthday my girlfriend (26F) ate the last piece of my cake while I was at work. Not just any cake, my favorite cake that my mom makes from scratch every year. I had specifically told her I was saving that last slice for when I got home. When I asked her about it she just shrugged and went “Oh I didn’t think you’d care.” No apology nothing. I was pretty annoyed but didn’t make a ...

AITAH for refusing to wake up at 5 AM just to “experience the morning” with my girlfriend?

My girlfriend (26F) has recently gotten really into the idea of “slow mornings.” She read some article about how waking up early, sipping tea, journaling, and watching the sunrise is supposed to be this life-changing experience. Cool, great for her. The problem? She wants me (28M) to do it with her. I am not a morning person. I get up at a reasonable time for work, I’m productive, and I don...

AITA for saying yes to my boyfriend’s public proposal and then turning him down in private?

So my (26F) boyfriend (28M) and I have been dating for about three years. Things have been good, but I’ve been clear from the beginning that I’m not ready for marriage yet. I’ve told him I need more time to feel comfortable with such a big step. Well, a few weeks ago, we went to a big party hosted by his family for his dad's 60th. I noticed that he was acting a little nervous but didn’t think m...

My wife humiliated me in front of our family and now I want a divorce

My wife and I have been married for 10 years and we have 3 children aged 3, 5, and 8. A couple of nights ago, our family hosted the Christmas party, where we invited siblings, parents, and grandparents. The party was going great, and it was much needed for me after a long year at work. There were a lot of jokes cracked, and I did get pretty drunk by the end. When I got up to go the restroom, I ...
