AITAH for not telling my housemate I’m moving out and taking everything with me?
I have lived with two of my friends in a rented house share for ten months. Around three months into our tenancy, a girl we did not know moved in to fill the final room. While I was initially excited to have another female housemate, our first interaction was tense; instead of greeting me, she immediately asked about our cleaning plans. Despite explaining our weekly routine, she quickly began using our kitchen items and leaving them dirty. When one of my friends gently addressed this, she reacted by shouting at me for fifteen minutes, accusing me of trying to look good in front of the male roommates. Over the next seven months, her behavior deteriorated further. She monopolized the clothes drying racks, damaged our communal chopping boards, and left her hair all over the floors. Additionally, she filled the entire freezer, left appliances dirty, neglected bathroom hygiene, and took my personal hygiene products without permission. Whenever we tried to address these grievances, her anger was directed solely at me. Recently, a new job opportunity allowed my two friends and me to find a three-bedroom flat together. We are moving out next week. Since we purchased about ninety percent of the communal items in the house—including the toaster, microwave, kettle, and vacuum—we plan to take them with us. Because our communication has completely broken down, I have decided not to inform her of our departure, leaving her to find out when she notices the viewings or when the moving van arrives.
Dad disfigured me and refuses to address it- i accidentally make his fiancé leave him. AITAH?
When I was six years old, I tripped on my father's farm and fell face-first against a concrete wall. I lost three teeth and felt my jaw bones misalign. My father did not take me to the hospital. Instead, he forced my jaw back into place with his hands and told me not to tell my mother, who was traveling abroad at the time. Because I received no medical attention, my chin grew back disfigured and lopsided, causing me constant jaw pain, physical issues like bruxism, and deep insecurity. Recently, I told my mother the truth about the accident. She was furious and called my father, demanding that he pay for reconstructive surgery. My father reacted defensively, calling me vain and refusing to pay. During a recent visit, my father's fiancée asked me about my childhood. She had heard about the phone argument and was shocked. Feeling safe with her, I opened up about my past experiences with my father. Shortly after I returned home, my father called me in a rage. His fiancée had called off their wedding after learning about his past behavior. He blamed me entirely, screaming insults, calling me vengeful, and telling me he was glad my face was ruined. Despite the emotional toll and feeling guilty for the breakup, I realized with the support of my boyfriend that I did nothing wrong. I plan to call his ex-fiancée to talk, and I am choosing to focus on my own life, my upcoming exams, and moving forward without relying on my father.
AITA for canceling stepdaughter's birthday party?
My stepdaughter is turning 18 and lives mostly with her mother. My husband works a lot but is a very involved father. He asked me to plan her birthday party, and I agreed, spending several hundred dollars and many hours of my own time to make sure everything was perfect. The conflict began when the biological mother demanded my husband buy over five thousand dollars in jewelry and concert tickets for their daughter, which we could not afford. When my husband refused, the biological mother drove to our home, stood in our driveway, and began screaming and cursing at him. To defend my husband and our home, I went outside and told her to shut her mouth and that she had no right to speak to him that way. Although my stepdaughter was not present, her mother told her about the confrontation. Consequently, my stepdaughter uninvited me from the party I planned and funded, claiming she and her mother felt too uncomfortable to have me there. In response, I decided to cancel the reservations, catering, and decorations, choosing to redirect my money elsewhere.
