AITA for staying anonymous after reporting my sister and her husband to CPS?
My sister met her husband when she was pregnant with another man's child. She never told anyone in the family who the father is, and she never told the father about the child either. Her husband refused to include my nephew in the wedding or treat him as his own. Since they had their own children, his bad treatment of my nephew has become worse. He refuses to watch my nephew, threatens to let him starve, and says he would not stop him from getting hurt. My sister ignores this and defends her husband. I reported this to Child Protective Services anonymously. They investigated but did not remove my nephew because there were no physical injuries. My sister is angry about the report and wants to find out who made it. Some of my family think it is cowardly to stay anonymous, but I worry that if my sister finds out it was me, I will never see my nephew again.
AITA for locking up my romance novels so my husband can’t throw them away?
I love reading romance novels, josei manga, webtoons, and short stories. My husband recently started having an issue with my books, claiming they were in the way, even though I keep them on a single bookshelf and they do not affect his life. I pay my half of the bills and do my share of the chores. After he made a comment about throwing my books out to have a fresh start, I bought a small locked cabinet to secure them. My husband tried to open it, found it locked, and became upset, accusing me of not trusting him and caring more about my books than him. Later, I came home to find him trying to put back together a flimsy book of mine that had lost some pages. He kept apologizing, saying he did not mean to ruin it. I asked him why he was acting this way, especially since this behavior only started after we moved from a two-bedroom apartment into a studio. He admitted he felt annoyed that I spent so much time reading romance novels instead of spending time with him. In our previous home, my reading was less visible because of our working arrangements. He explained that his past partners had cheated on him, causing him to lose his romantic side. Seeing me so engrossed in romance books made him feel like I wanted romance, but not with him. He also admitted feeling insecure because we are not an overtly affectionate couple, though he recognizes the many ways I show my love, which makes him feel guilty. He apologized for his actions and expressed that he was just frustrated and hurt.
AITA for telling my sister that her husband is having an affair?
I am seventeen years old, and my twenty-five-year-old sister is married to a thirty-eight-year-old man named James. Recently, while having lunch at a restaurant with a friend, I saw James with another woman. They appeared to be on an intimate date. My friend advised me to record them instead of confronting them immediately, so we gathered video proof. I went straight to my sister's house and showed her the footage. Instead of being sad, she became furious with me, accusing me of trying to ruin her marriage out of jealousy, and she kicked me out and blocked me. The next day, my sister arrived at our parents' house with her bags, having decided to leave James. She apologized to me, explaining that she already had suspicions but had reacted badly because she had fought hard against our family to marry him. Our father had previously warned her about James's manipulative nature and the age gap. My sister and I reconciled, and she is now proceeding with a divorce.
