AITA for telling my mom we haven’t had a good relationship in a long time and I wanted to go live with my dad?

I (16F) used to have a good relationship with my mother. That has since crashed and burned since she dated and married my stepdad “Gary” six years ago. Gary treats his son “Ian” (19M) like he’s the center of the universe and expects my mother to as well, so she does. Anything Ian wants, Ian gets and that usually comes at the expense of me. Ian wanted my room when they moved it? I was forced to...

For context, his best friend, “Tina” (34F), and him were roommates before him and I got together and before we all decided to move in together. He and I were ju...

AITA for making a complaint against a nursery worker due to how she reacted to my wife picking our kid up?

My wife (36) and I (37M) have 2 kids, a daughter (8) and a son (3). My wife is an essential worker as she’s a doctor.

AITAH for just refusing to cook for my wife at this point?

I am 39 and male. My wife, Jennifer, is 37. We have been married for eight years, and we have two children. I work full-time, and Jennifer is a SAHM. She’s a wonderful mother to our children, but one thing that she does not like to do is cook. This works out just fine for me, as I generally get off work by 4:30, and I happen to be a phenomenal cook. My father was a chef, and I’ve been cooki...

AITA for requesting that my teacher not partner me with my d**dbeat father's daughter?

My father walked out on my mom when she was pr****nt with me (16m). They were married for like 5 years at that point but he was cheating a lot. Mom trying to divorce him went through h**l because they'd picked up and moved. He never met me. He didn't show up at court for their divorce, or for custody, or for child support. He went to jail three times for failure to pay child support and for tr...

AITA for causing my husband to get fired?

My husband (33) has a habit of making up excuses to get out of work. Simply for just not feeling like working on certain days. This has affected us financially because his boss kept lowering his salary as a result. I had to get a 2nd job. He's now bought a ps5 from his 14yo cousin and started playing with it day and night. Meanwhile missing work and lying to his boss about why he does it. This...

AITAH for leaving my wife, stepson, and everyone behind to start over?

My wife and I have been married for nearly 7 years. She cheated on me with a coworker of hers about 5 years back. I've been sus**cious for the entire year that she was doing it again. And I was correct. Not sure with who but she lies like a rug now and takes zero response. She blames me for her actions. I've been an utterly trainwreck. Depression, too much booze, anxiety through the roof. A...

AITA for researching stuff when my wife corrects me or tells me som**hing I didn't know?

My wife and I have been married for 6 years now and she keeps getting p**sed at me for googling or researching things when I find I might be incorrect or am incorrect about som**hing, or when I'm curious about a statement my wife has said. I know it's probably not the best practice, but I have explained to her I don't do it to try and prove who's wrong or right, just trying to improve my knowle...

AITA for telling my girlfriend I was born in a car?

I've been with my girlfriend for over five years over which time I've told her a few fairy stories that were more like practical joke time-b**bs than lies. I always expected them to get found out. One of them was that I was born in the Australian bush far from a hospital (true), and when my mother went into labor, my father rushed to her to the hospital in his ute (Australian pickup truck) (tru...

AITA for humiliating my wife on social media to "defend" my mom?

We finally have gone no contact with my mom. It was a long hard decision, but she and my wife are just fundamentally unable to get along and recently had a vicious fight, and I knew I had to put my wife first. This fight was so bad my mom didn't even protest the no contact. We are just done with each other, but I can't say it hasn't been gut wrenching. My mom has given her version of the st...

AITAH for telling my neighbor she should check her husband and NOT me?

I'm deep cleaning my house when my neighbor shows up at my doorstep. She introduces herself, which is fine since she's new to the neighborhood. But then she drops a b**bsh**l: she says I make her feel uncomfortable. I'm taken aback since we've never spoken before and I've lived here for 13 years with no issues. When I ask what I'm doing to make her uncomfortable, she says it's the way I dress ...
