Aitah for setting a woman straight when she claimed to be my husband's workwife in my house?

We have been together for 7 years and we are currently trying for a baby. The company where my husband works informed the employees that they will not have a Christmas party this year due to them trying to cut out costs. Some of the guys ...

Husband Finds Out the Truth About His Dog Running Away Five Years Earlier - His Wife and Father-in-Law Surrendered It to the Shelter While He Was at Work

I had a dog when my wife and I got married. I loved her, she was my buddy. When my wife got pr****nt, she became increasingly paranoid that the dog would be a danger to the baby. She brought up rehoming, and I refused. She was an "aggressive breed", but she was trained. One day, she called me crying at work that the dog ran away and she couldn't run after her. I believed her. I looked for that...

AITAH for telling my wife I want part of her property if she wants me to quit my job?

AITA for telling coworkers extremely bluntly why I'm not participating in the office weight loss bet?

Someone got the brilliant idea to make an office d*et bet due to COVID gains, with people pooling in their money to see who can lose the most weight by Thanksgiving. I am one of 7 people not participating. Lots of preggos, some bodybuilders, and people who maintained their weight who aren't interested. Since I've visibly gained, they thought I'd want to participate. I didn't. Jen, in charge...

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...

AITA for telling my waitress's manager she did a great job?

I met a girl online and we clicked, and have gone on a couple dates. Two nights ago was our third date and I was treating her to dinner at a local burger place in the city. Nothing fancy, I just wanted some good conversation over a tasty meal. This girl is a knockout, has the rare quality of being a great listener, and isn't obsessed with herself. She's funny, charming, and smart. We had had s...

I've worked at my office for 8 years. I'm on good terms with management and most of my co-workers. Five months ago, a new guy was hired on a 6-month probationary period. I'm not his supervisor, but I'm definitely a senior employee. I'll call the guy Ted Faro, because he's a d**k. Supervisor was going around introducing Ted to people, and when he got to me said "This is John" and described my...
