AITAH for walking out of my dad’s wedding after he excluded me from the family photos?

My dad (52M) remarried last weekend. I (20M) went to support him even though our relationship has always been rocky since the divorce. At the reception, they did family photos. Dad’s new wife called up her kids (all adults), my dad, and my siblings (16F, 18M). When I tried to step in, my dad said, 'Not right now, let’s just do the core family first.' Everyone went quiet because… I am his kid. It felt like a slap in the face. I excused myself, grabbed my bag, and left. Later, he texted me that I 'ruined his big day' and embarrassed him in front of his in-laws. I don’t know if I should’ve swallowed my pride and stayed, but I couldn’t handle being literally excluded from the family picture. AITAH?

WIBTAH if i dont wear a fake engagement ring on a family vacation?

A 24-year-old woman is planning a month-long family vacation to Australia to decide if she wants to move there permanently to study herpetology. Her 25-year-old boyfriend, Dan, supports her career goals and has offered to move with her in the future. However, because they are not yet financially stable, they have agreed to postpone marriage and children. Despite not being engaged, Dan asked her to wear a fake engagement ring during her vacation so that local men would not try to pursue her. When she refused, pointing out that they are not engaged, Dan bought a large fake ring and insisted she wear it. This led to a major argument, resulting in Dan sleeping on the couch and his mother texting her to pressure her into wearing the ring to make him feel more comfortable.

AITA for not removing a statue from the backyard while my mom was visiting because it upsets her?

My wife Cece and I live across the country from my family, so my parents have not spent a lot of time out here. This past Christmas mom and dad treated themselves to a trip out here for two weeks. A few years ago Home Depot was selling plastic statues of a folk saint called Santa Muerte. Cece likes her and built an outdoor altar where she leaves offerings and can hang out. Her mom also liked the saint, and I think this is something that connects them after her death. There are a lot of ideas and associations with SM. Drugs and bad groups have co opted her as their symbol, but she does not belong to them. She is a figure for weirdos and outcasts of all kinds. But still the bad associations do exist. A lot of it is media hype. My parents were here for a whole 2 days before Mom noticed the statue. When she did, she said 'Oh!' like she was scared and went back in the house. She kept looking nervously out the kitchen window. Then she asked if we could take it out and hide it because it scares her. I said no, that is Cece's, and it is just a statue. Mom had Dad ask me to move it. Again, I said no. For the rest of the trip, Mom refused to go in the back yard and would not even stand near the windows where you can see it. She would make a big show of turning her back to the window. When they were leaving, my dad told me that he was disappointed in me for not caring that my poor mom felt scared the whole trip. I said it was rude of him to expect me to cover up something that means this much to Cece, and that it was just a statue. It is in no way scary to look at. We are also NOT a religious family. I was not baptized or anything and have gone to church like twice. I am wondering if I am the asshole for not accommodating my mom since they came all the way out here for once.

AITA for not wanting to help my wife with Halloween costumes?
Advice

AITA for not wanting to help my wife with Halloween costumes?

My wife always makes our three children's Halloween costumes. Because she did not have a good childhood, she tries hard to make sure our children do. She makes birthday cakes, decorations, holiday pajamas, and hosts themed movie nights. This is great, but she expects me to help. We both work full-time and our kids are busy, so she stretches herself thin. We have the money to buy these things, but she believes the kids will remember the homemade effort. When I was away for work, she fell behind on the costumes and asked me to make one. I was tired and suggested buying a cheap one instead. She refused, stayed up all night to finish them, and became cold toward me. After my coworker and others pointed out my mistake, I realized I should have helped her, and we talked it out.

AITA for wanting to drop my friends after they turned me into a joke?

Recently, my friends and I went to a restaurant for dinner, where I noticed there was a cute waiter serving us. I told my friends, not thinking much of it. Throughout the dinner, they proceeded to embarrass me about it. At the end of the dinner, they told me they got his number for me. They put his number in my phone, and I decided to send him a text. We continued to talk throughout the night and into the next morning. Later at lunch, my friend confessed that it was not the waiter I was texting, but my friend. My friend group was in on the prank and had made a group chat to laugh at me and leak my messages. I was mortified and angrily left, sending them a message confronting them. Some of them say I am overreacting, but my family says I should drop them.

AITAH for asking my fiancé to pay for the whole pre-nup process?

I recently got engaged to my fiancé after three years of dating. I am currently in a PhD program, while he has been working for six years and has far more wealth and assets than me. He wants a prenuptial agreement to protect his existing assets, and I am totally okay with that. However, when I asked him to pay for a lawyer to review it for me, he was annoyed. He asked why he should pay for my lawyer on top of his own. He suggested that I should just trust him and sign without a lawyer looking at it. I explained that without my own lawyer, the agreement might not hold up in court, and it is unequal if only he has legal representation. Since the agreement entirely benefits him and he earns ten times more than I do, I do not want to use my minimal savings to pay for it.

AITA for making my son live with me so he won't be around his Dad or Stepmom?

I have a son, Jayden, with my ex-husband. We divorced ten years ago. Jayden has lived with his dad and stepmom on weekdays and me on weekends since starting high school because his school is closer to his dad's house. Neither his dad nor I make a lot of money, so Jayden wanted to work part-time at McDonald's to have spending money. When he got the job, his dad and stepmom made him give them money for bills. I did not mind at first because I thought it taught responsibility, but then I found out they were taking seventy percent of his check. I talked to his dad, who promised to make a better budget. Three months later, Jayden told me they were taking one hundred percent of his paychecks, which I confirmed by looking at his account. When he tries to set limits, they guilt him by saying he owes them for being born and living there. I felt this was manipulative, so I told Jayden he could live with me full-time. He agreed, and we went to get his things. His dad and stepmom threw his things at us when we collected them. I feel justified, but I still have second thoughts about removing Jayden from his dad's home.

AITA for telling my mom to leave my apartment in the middle of a family lunch

I recently moved into a new, larger apartment and invited my family over for Sunday lunch to celebrate. My boyfriend, whom I have lived with for six months and plan to marry, was there but had to leave early for his brother's football game. After he left, my mother asked in a rude tone if I could afford the apartment alone and if my name was on the lease. When I asked what she meant, she said she wanted to be sure I would not have to leave when we eventually broke up. She then said we would break up because my boyfriend had a vasectomy and I would eventually change my mind about not wanting children. Her remarks made everyone uncomfortable. When she refused to stop, I stood up and calmly asked her to leave. She complained about my temper and left with my father and sisters. While my aunt supported me, my grandmother said I was rude and should have ignored her. My mother later sent a text demanding an apology and saying she would not visit again. My relationship with my mother is already tense because she has made racist comments about my brown boyfriend in the past. I had previously told her I would cut contact if she did it again. I only invited her so my father and young sisters could see my new place, and my boyfriend had agreed to the visit to keep the peace.

AITAH for filing divorce papers after I said I would

I have been married for over five years. My twenty-two-year-old daughter, Faith, lives with us while she finishes school. Initially, my wife and Faith got along well, but I soon realized my wife and I have very different parenting styles. My wife has no biological children and became a parent to Faith when she was already a teenager. We established house rules, and Faith contributes to rent and groceries from her part-time job. However, my wife is conflict-avoidant and gets upset when chores are not done immediately. Instead of talking to Faith directly, she complains to me and talks badly about Faith to her friends, calling her lazy and describing me as a bad parent. A year ago, I told my wife she needed therapy or I would file for divorce. Since then, my wife has stopped speaking to Faith and recently admitted she hates her, refusing to attend any family gatherings where Faith is present. Because of this, I printed out divorce papers, but my wife claims I am overreacting.

AITA for being honest about why I’m losing weight?

AITA for being honest about why I’m losing weight?

I have always had issues with my family, particularly my three sisters, making comments about my body, partially because I’m going into acting, even though I’m probably not what would be considered conventionally attractive. Ever since I started professional theater training two years ago, the comments have really ramped up. They usually comment on my hair, my skin, and my weight. They often make comments about my thick, black curly hair being 'not really black' and 'bushy.' Because of a circulation condition, I am very pale, so they joke that I look like a vampire. They also comment on my weight, describing me as 'heavy' and wishing I could 'share a few pounds.' I decided earlier this year that I couldn’t take it anymore. After getting accepted to drama school, I committed to fixing the things I don’t like about myself. I started taking care of my hair, using makeup for my skin, and calorie counting, which helped me lose six or seven pounds. Last night, after I refused a second bowl of pasta at a family dinner, my mom asked why I felt the need to lose weight. I honestly explained that my sisters calling me 'heavy' got to me, and I wanted to feel secure before drama school. Everyone went quiet, and my older sister left the table. Later, my mom told me I shouldn't blame my sisters or make them feel guilty, saying I should keep my motivations to myself. My other sisters also told me that connecting my weight loss to their comments was inappropriate, demanding an apology for making them feel responsible.

AITA for not disclosing my job to the parents I was going to babysit for?

AITA for not disclosing my job to the parents I was going to babysit for?

I am a 25-year-old female who babysits occasionally for extra money. I am good at it, though I do not want to do it as a full-time career. For my primary job, I work as a server at Hooters, a job that I love. I keep my two jobs separate and do not feel the need to tell my babysitting clients about my employment at Hooters. Recently, I started babysitting for a new family recommended by friends. The first night went well. The next time they asked, I was busy working. The third time, we agreed on the date and fee. When I arrived, they had friends over who were preparing to leave. One of their friends asked the parents if they were comfortable letting a sex worker watch their child. The father pulled me aside with his wife and asked if this was true. I explained that I am not a sex worker, but a server at Hooters. They became angry, claiming that it is still sex work and that I should have disclosed this when they hired me. They fired me and posted about the situation on Facebook to warn others against hiring me. I have since accepted a job as a company model and quit my Hooters job.

My (36f) husband (36m) is mad I saved the wifi password and I'm mad it's an issue.
Relationships

My (36f) husband (36m) is mad I saved the wifi password and I'm mad it's an issue.

We've been married 12 years now and he has always had trust issues. Recently he was adamant we switch internet providers and now the current service is in his name. When needing to connect my phone, instead of him just telling me the password, he put it in himself. Cut to a few days later, I needed to connect my laptop and instead of texting him at work to ask for the password, I just looked at it on my phone's wifi settings. He texted me from work and asked me a bunch of questions because he got a notification that a new device connected. I told him it was me connecting my laptop and he asked me how I got the password. I told him how and he got upset. I asked him why it is a problem for me to know the password, but he ignored me and so I went the petty route and just disconnected everything and told him I won't use his things anymore. Now he is saying I've done enough and I should have asked. Can someone please help me understand why he would be so upset over something like this? I just don't get it.

AITA for saying my daughter’s friend can’t come back to our house until I’ve spoken to her parents?

My twelve-year-old daughter, CC, met a thirteen-year-old girl named Katie at a summer dance program. Since the school year started, Katie has been showing up at our house unexpectedly, often at strange hours like early Saturday mornings. She regularly pushes our boundaries, such as staying past our weekday curfew, bringing laundry for our helper to wash, and inviting herself on our family outings. I also suspect she has been stealing bulk items from our storage room. We have never met or spoken to Katie's parents. Whenever I ask to contact them, she claims they are busy or unavailable. Recently, I went away for the weekend and returned to find Katie had been staying at our house since Friday. She refused to leave on Sunday, staying for dinner and revealing her parents were out of town with only her brother in charge. My husband was the only adult home with her during this time, which makes me deeply uncomfortable regarding safety and liability. I decided to establish a strict rule: Katie cannot visit our house again until I speak directly with her mother. My daughter thinks I am being unfair, and my husband thinks I should drop the parent contact requirement to avoid embarrassing Katie, but I believe I need to know who is in my house and ensure her parents know where she is.

AITA For Not Telling My Husband What His Best Friend Did To Me Sooner?

Hi! 31F. Married to my college sweetheart for the last five years. We have a daughter who's three. The last few days have been incredibly difficult and painful for both me and my husband. My husband has a best friend from college who he's incredibly close with. This friend is always there for my husband and even was in our wedding. I also considered him a friend in college and enjoyed spending time with him because he's funny and also charming. But then I had an experience with him that caused me a lot of pain and also made me not like or trust him at all. Basically my husband and this friend were in a fraternity together. One night there was a party at the house, and I got very intoxicated, so I went to my husband's room (he was my BF at the time) kind of early in the night and went to sleep. I won't go into too many details, but sometime in the evening, the friend (who was also very drunk) came into the room and did some very upsetting things to me. Luckily it didn't escalate to a full on rape, but he touched me under my PJs and also got on top of me and started grinding. I was crying, and telling him to stop, but he didn't seem to care at all that I was dating his best friend or, more importantly, that I told him no. The worst part was that during this experience, he said incredibly cruel things to me. For example, he called me an alcoholic and a whore. The next morning I was sad and confused. At the time, I made a million excuses for him. I told myself I must have done something to give him the wrong idea (we were good friends at the time and spent a lot of time together), that was drunk and didn't know what he was doing, and even that he didn't rape me so it wasn't even that bad. I really can't pinpoint exactly why I did this, but I didn't tell my husband (or anyone) what happened at the time and I pretty much just moved on with my life as though it had never happened. I did protect myself by not sleeping over at the frat house anymore and also not hanging out with that friend alone anymore. My husband continued being friends with this guy for years after this, so I occasionally saw him at events. My husband even invited him to be a groomsman in our wedding. I thought about telling my husband about my experience then, and I know I should have, but for some reason I couldn't bring myself to do it. It makes no sense to me all these years later, but I think was ashamed and also in my way trying to protect my husband. Anyways, this friend is unmarried, and goes on a lot of dates. A few days ago, my husband came home upset, and he told me the best friend was being accused of date rape. My husband couldn't believe his friend would do something like that, and started saying it must have been a misunderstanding or the girl wasn't being truthful. I told my husband I thought the best friend probably did it, and when he asked why, I broke down in tears and told him what happened years ago. Needless to say, my husband was devastated. He responded as well as he could under the circumstances, and kept hugging me and saying he didn't understand how anyone could hurt me. He also wanted to drive me to the police station right then to make a report and kept on saying he wanted to kill the guy. All night he was holding me and asking if I was okay, and I felt relieved that this huge secret was finally off my chest. But the next day, once my husband had thought about it more, he asked why I hadn't told him sooner. He was upset that I let the friend be in our wedding and that I'd continued to see him over the years. My husband says that I put myself in danger and that he felt like an idiot hanging out with this person and letting him around his wife when he's a predator. I told him he was right, and that I didn't really have a good explanation other than my own shame over the situation and then the guilt of having kept it to myself for so many years. There were some tears and raised voices, and I don't think he really understands where I'm coming from. It's clear he's trying to support me in this but is also really upset I didn't tell him sooner and shaken that something else could have happened to me because of it. We keep going in circles about this, and I don't know how to resolve it.

AITA ? I asked my gf if she can put her 3 year old daughter to bed by midnight?

My girlfriend is older than me and has a three-year-old child. They are staying with me for the week. I think her daughter is cool and we get along well. I take them both out to dinner and buy them whatever they like. The only thing I asked was if she could put her daughter to sleep by midnight. Her daughter stays in our room until 2:00 AM wanting to play and talk, and I have to wake up around 6:30 or 7:00 AM for work. The lack of sleep has been getting to me.\n\nWhen I asked for this, my girlfriend said I should not let her daughter being awake stop me from sleeping. I pointed out that the child is in our room very late. She said if I do not like it, she will go to the other room with her daughter because they both like to stay up late. She then said that maybe I am not meant to be with someone who has a kid. I feel like asking to put her daughter to bed by midnight is a fair deal. A three-year-old should not be up that late, but she is not my child so I do not say anything. I am just asking her to meet me in the middle while they stay at my house.

AITA for telling my MIL she can no longer have contact with my son?

I am a single mother of four children: Arden, Briony, Robin, and Kaya. All of us, except ten-year-old Robin, are Deaf, and American Sign Language (ASL) is our first language. Robin's biological mother, Layla, surrendered custody to her brother Alex years ago due to addiction. Alex and I raised Robin together, and Robin has called me his mother since he was very young. When Alex was diagnosed with terminal cancer, we agreed that I would continue to raise Robin after Alex passed away. Alex passed away in June, and since then, his mother has caused significant issues. She has criticized our use of ASL, questioned my parenting abilities due to my deafness, and focused her attention solely on Robin while ignoring my other children. At the funeral, she told attendees that I was unfit to parent and was trying to steal Robin. Recently, Robin returned from an outing with his grandmother looking miserable and terrified. He eventually revealed that his grandmother had been telling him she would call CPS to remove him from my care, or even drive away with him so he would never see us again. In response, I immediately banned her from my home and cut off her contact with the children. Now, other family members are pressuring me to reconsider, making me doubt my decision.

AITA for taking a college fund form my grandparent even tho they called my mother a whore

My family was not talking to my grandparents since I was a younger kid. I did not really know why until recently. My grandparents asked to meet me recently and I met up with them. My mother, when I was around eight, had an affair. At this time I was told they were getting a divorce. I started to split my time between the two until my dad passed away in a car crash when I was nine. According to my grandparents, they saw me at the funeral and got into a fight with my mother. Since they were not divorced at the time, she inherited everything of my dad's. They called my mother a whore, and after that, they were not allowed to see me. Recently, they told me they have a college fund for me with around 200k. I thanked them and have been in contact with them since. My mom found out and we got into a fight. She is pissed I am talking to them and took the money, telling me I betrayed her. She brought up that they called her a whore and I told her that the shoe fit. My sister says I need to apologize.
