UPDATE: AITAH for giving my husband silent treatment after he told me my post-birth body turns him off?

After receiving feedback that ignoring a spouse can be abusive, I decided to have a proper conversation with my husband about what he said recently. I explained how deeply his comments about my body, especially after just giving birth, have offended and upset me. He acknowledged that what he said was 'messed up' but insisted he cannot 'help' what he finds physically arousing. My body has th...

AITAH for finally telling my mother in law to back off after years of criticizing everything I pack for my husband?

I’m 27. My husband, Ryan, is 29. We’ve been married for three years. His mom, Doreen (she’s 51), lives ten minutes away. When we got married, I knew she was a little involved. She’d text him almost daily and guilt him for not visiting every weekend. When we got married, I figured it’d calm down. It didn’t. Now the thing is, Ryan works long hours. I do too, but I’m usually up earlier. So I s...

AITAH for no longer meal prepping portions for my wife?

My [26m] wife [25f] and I are newly married, and we have lived together for a year. We get along well, and I can count on one hand how many times we’ve actually argued about som**hing consequential (obviously excluding joke arguments). Now, ever since I graduated high school, I have been super into meal prep. Every three to four days, I’ll cook up several different dishes. My favorites are curr...

AITA for inviting everyone to the BBQ/beach day except my SIL, her kid and her husband because they eat all the food?

I say this with a lot of hesitation but my SIL, her husband and their child are all severely obese. Both SIL and her husband are over 300lbs and their daughter, 12, is easily pushing 200. The type of people to buy a smoker and giant chest freezer for $3k+ but fail to pay their mortgage/land tax and ask the family to help them out and when they are called out on it, it's met with a "making sure...

AITAH for Telling My Husband to Help Feed His Own Kids?

I’m 26. My husband’s 30. We’ve got two little kids both under 5. For the past couple of months, he hasn’t been giving anything—no money for groceries, bills, or milk. I work part time, and I stretch what little I have, but it’s not enough. Every time I bring it up, he brushes me off or says he’s "stressed." We’re all stressed. So a few nights ago, I asked him straight up, can you at least buy ...

AITA for telling my girlfriend her hate for babies is pathetic and doesn't make her cool or edgy?

I (18m) have been dating my gf (19) for about four months. We met on instagram, I followed her for a while and she has a real grunge/edgy aestehtic going on. I thought she was super hot and cool, and when we started going out she was basically also a really edgy person. She makes the occasional cringey edgelord comment about hating people and how life was sooooo much better in the 80s (when sh...

Husband states I should have just “done it because he had a bad day”

My husband had a stressful day (he got pa*sed up for a promotion), but we were together all day, I talked to him in length about it, rea*sured him he was more than qualified and ready for the promotion, told him how he deserves it, offered him hugs multiple times, suggested he go do som**hing he enjoys and I would take the kids. He declined my hugs and declined to go anywhere. He was on and...

AITA for leaving home after my partner let his son invite 5 friends for a sleepover when I'm recovering from major surgery, without discussing it with me first?

I (44F) had major surgery last week. I am home recovering and off work for 2 weeks, with 4-6 weeks recommended before resuming life relatively 'normally'. My partner (42M) informed me late yesterday afternoon that his son (13M) was having 5 friends for a sleepover tonight. It's now Sat**day where I live. I had no prior knowledge that he'd allowed his son to organise this and it's for no special...

AITAH for making my husband sleep on the couch after refused to help me take care of our kids?

I (33F) have 4 kids with my husband (35M), and our kids are all 4 or under so it's a handful (4F, 3F, 3F, and 1M). A few nights ago after I had been taking care of the kids all day just like usual, dinner just ended and the kids were all settled down for the first time that day so I asked my husband if he could just watch over them while I go shower because truth be told, it had been around 2 days...

UPDATE - AITAH for telling my girlfriend I can’t trust her anymore when it comes to her wanting a baby?

Firstly, for some context, we have a planned parenthood that specializes in abortions like 5 minutes away. I understand people thinking she didn’t want to get an abortion because of protesters. I completely understand. I drive by that specific place every single day for work. I have seen no protesters. It’s usually empty besides a few cars on the side of the side of the road. But, I still ...

Final update: Aita for exposing my wife's cheating and not wanting to do anything with a child that isn't mine

It has been a difficult few months. I considered running away from everything, even abandoning my son, although I know he is not biologically mine. However, I did not want him to suffer. Since then, I have visited him frequently. I moved out but continued visiting him, while my wife tried hard to make me stay. Her sister also caused significant trouble, but I tolerated it all for my son. Th...
