I (19f) am autistic and no one else in my family is. One of my brothers Marcus (29m) got married to Lilith (28f) a six year ago back. They lived away from here so I didn't know her that well until they moved back here a bit over a year ago. I was really happy at first to have my brother around more but that happiness didn't last long. It started with Lilith referring to me as "it." I told her she can use "she" or "they" for me but "it" makes me uncomfortable and she apologized. Then she did it another time and when I corrected her she said it was "just a joke." I told her that it wasn't funny and not to do it. A while after that I was having a hard time and needed to leave bowling early and I heard Lilith say to Marcus as I was leaving "don't feel bad, it isn't your fault its restarted." If you don't know "restarted" is a variation of the slur r*tarded. I was upset and talked to Marcus a couple days later and told me she was just joking. I told him that it really bothered me and he said he would talk to her. Fast forward a bit, and my fiance Shawn (28m) shows me about a conversation he had with Lilith over text. She had basically insinuated that he has a k*nk for r*tarded girls and that he did a good job finding such a pretty one who can't think but must be nice in other ways. Shawn was very upset that she had said this and so was I. I tried to talk to Marcus but he just told me that Lilith has a dark sense of humor and that she didn't mean to upset anyone. I felt hurt by this still. So, when we made invites we didn't include Marcus or Lilith. When they asked about it I just explained why I chose what I did. They were livid. Now, all of my family is saying that if I don't let Marcus and Lilith come they won't. They bring it up whenever I see them or try and talk to them and tell me I'm being an *sshole about it.

My parents relationship ended when I (18f) was 4 and my brother (15m) was 1. My mom treated my dad pretty terribly afterward. She called him a thug and all kinds of s__t because of his appearance and tried to chase him off by suing for child support despite them sharing equal parenting time of us. My mom got married when I was 7 and within a few months she had another daughter, my half sister. This is where s__t started to get stressful for my brother and me. My mom and her husband (I don't and will not call him my stepdad) weren't doing as great as they expected. I guess my mom got fired and when she got a new job it was demoted. Her husband's company lost a lot of money and paid less. My mom went back to court to ask for child support and got it. But it didn't make the difference she expected. Mom then started asking dad to buy gifts for my half sister's birthday and for Christmas. My dad told her he bought for his kids but not for a child she had with someone else. Mom would then tell my brother and me we needed to ask dad for gifts for our half sister. We'd say no and she'd start guilt tripping us. She'd say we're big siblings and we have it way better and if we love our half sister we should want her to be pretty equal to us. It didn't stop there and my mom, even though dad never sent anything for my half sister, started thinking he should be willing to buy clothes and school supplies and random little treats because she knew he did that for us at his house. Mom was really hard on my...

So a few weeks ago I noticed when I would come home that stuff would be out of place. One time our stove was left on. Another time our cat that we “inherited” from my mother in law was locked in our bedroom. Then there was the time our front door was unlocked and our front window was wide open. So I decided to get some security cameras. A few days later I got an alert that someone was outside our home, the camera is facing right at our front door. So I pulled up the video feed and it was my mother in law. She was trying to open the door, then she was looking under the mat for a key and didn’t find one so she went out of view for a couple minutes then came back with a stick and walked up to the front window and used the stick to pry the board out of the window that we use to hold it open just enough for the cat to come in and out as it pleases. Then she climbed through. Now I was pi**ed for sure, but my MIL is homeless (she tried living with us for about a year but we had to kick her out because she kept smoking m**h and he**in in our home, and we’re recovering addicts ourselves) so I tried to be empathetic and let it slide since she just went inside and made herself som**hing to eat. Next time I saw her I asked her to please not break in to our home. She said ok. But of course she kept doing it. I held back because I didn’t want to upset my wife. However I reached my breaking point when I checked the cameras one day and she...

About a month back, my husband and I got married. We had this very small church wedding with just family and friends. My friend,David, is a professional photographer and is kinda famous in our city for his amazing work. When I told him about my wedding, he offered to do the photos for free as a wedding gift. Yesterday we received the wedding pics, and well, he’s edited the heck out of my face and body. First thing I noticed was that he’s made my waist smaller to get that ‘hourglass’ appearance. The next thing he did was to edit my rather pointy nose into a small, button-like one. In some pictures, where my side profile is visible, he’s edited out the dorsal hump. The end result still looks like me, but also like every generic Instagram model you see online. I quite like my nose, and I quite liked the way I looked on my wedding day. So I called him up to ask if he had the unedited versions of these pics and he said he’s already deleted those. I told him that he shouldn’t have photoshopped my wedding pics without asking first and that it ruined the whole thing. He said that he only made subtle changes, changes that most of his clients ASK him to do and that’s why he was being proactive in my case. I told him that it was very stupid to assume that everyone likes/wants the same thing. He didn’t think he was wrong and said that he was trying to do a nice thing and I was being ungrateful. I told all of this to a common friend, and she thinks I’m overreacting because all he did was, quote, ‘make you look prettier.’ AITA?

So I'm having to do a video assessment for a course that I'm doing at the moment. It's in multiple parts, so I don't record one big video but multiple small ones. In the instructions it specifically says no background noise, or other peoples voices, otherwise I will be failed. I ask him if he can be quiet and tell him what the instructions say. He just leaves the room, which is fine it means that there'll be no noise at all. I tell him to not enter the room as the door is really noisy, and my phone mic picks up everything, and specifically, do not enter if I'm talking. I'm in the middle of speaking and he opens the door, walks around the room and grabs his phone. I look at him, he whispers 'don't worry, I'll be quick.' I understand that he might need to grab som**hing, but he was so loud. His footsteps were loud, he walked over some clothes which was loud, the door was so loud, and he spoke - to me!!! If the assessor thinks that he's speaking to me, regardless of what he's saying there's a possibility that I might fail. I finished up, and got frustrated. No yelling or anything, just sighed and told him that I don't feel respected. I reminded him of what I told him before, and he dismissed it, by saying I won't fail. It's not about failing. It's about the principal - about coming into the space and making noise then acting ignorant. AITA for getting frustrated at him? Edit: I completely forgot about this post. I remember posting this right after it happened so we didn't have a conversation yet. I guess I just wanted others insight. Anyways I love my boyfriend. He's definitely not...

So my sister is pregnant. She is due the day after my boyfriend's birthday. This is her second child. Her first pregnancy, she made it clear that she didn't want anyone to bother her, and she was not going to tell anyone that she was even in labor. We all found out about my niece's arrival the day after she was born, which is totally fine. This pregnancy, my sister's planning to do a home birth. She asked me in the very beginning if I wanted to be a part of it, and I declined as I am not comfortable watching her give birth and quite frankly it just grosses me out. We have had this discussion many times throughout the pregnancy, and how I was not going to have anything to do with the delivery. My boyfriend travels for work, and it just so happens that he will be home on his birthday. We have been needing some quality/relaxation time, and so we planned to drive a couple hours and do a day of hiking and just being in nature. Yesterday, my sister texted me asking if I would be in town & on-call the entire month of April (she is due mid-April) just in case there is an emergency and she has to go to the hospital and needs me to take care of my niece back home. I told her I would be in town every day except my boyfriend's birthday when I will be a few hours away. She is now saying that she shouldn't even have had to ask, that I am being so selfish for not making sure I am in town and available to her all month, and how I am such a disappointing sister. I am not her only source of support, and it has never been even implied that I would be expected to be involved somehow. In my initial reaction, I told her I was sorry that her feelings were hurt, but it was not ever mentioned to me that she was expecting me, and I pointed out that her best friend would be watching my niece while my sister gives birth at home, so why couldn't she watch my niece if my sister gives birth in a hospital? I told her that I was not canceling my plans with my boyfriend for his birthday, but now I'm starting to wonder if I am being harsh/cold and if I need to just suck it up, cancel my original plans and be there for my sister.

Hello, I am a (33) year old female. I am going to make this as short as I possibly can. I met my partner/boyfriend at the beginning 2017. We started dating in October 2017. In 2019 we found out he had cancer. It was truly devastating and heartbreaking for both of us. Fast forward to mid-2024, he passed away. I was incredibly heartbroken, crushed, depressed, and even had suicidal thoughts. A week before his funeral, I found out he was cheating on me throughout our entire relationship. Honestly, I am not sure what hurt the most, his passing - or me finding out about this. It's been almost a year from his passing, and I honestly don't even know how to feel or grieve him properly. Some days I hate him and other days; I miss him a lot. I'm just very confused. I'm heartbroken, crushed, just numb. AITAH - for some days not really caring about his passing or if he's here or not. Idk. THANK YOU to everyone for the positive messages. I am starting Therapy next week, so I am definitely looking forward to that!!! I just wanted to share this part of my life and get other's input - not sure if that makes sense. My family and close friends have definitely been a big help and extremely supportive. For clarity, he was cheating our entire relationship (since we met, during the time we found out about his cancer, and during cancer as well). He never told me anything - and I just never thought he would do anything like that to me. Especially, after everything we went through. We would talk marriage, starting a family, growing old together etc. I found out a week before his funeral while cleaning his apartment out with his family. He had two phones hidden in a cabinet in his closet. His brother asked if I knew whose phones those were and asked if I wanted to keep them. I didn't think any of it because he worked in Tech, and he would use a lot of phones at work. One night I decided to charge both of them to see if they still worked, and boy did they did. I found millions of messages, pictures, videos, anything you can imagine. I started adding pieces and dates together. He went on dates, traveled with these women, tell them everything a woman wants to hear. I was and still am disgusted till this day. Fast forward to today - I am doing the best I can. I am focusing on work, my family, my friends, and my personal life. I would be lying if I told you I don't miss him. I think about him 24/7. We were together for seven years and it stings really bad. I honestly regret charging those two phones but at the same time I'm glad I did. I haven't visited him at the cemetery for almost two months - I feel bad, but I also don't. Grief comes in waves. I wish I could have one last conversation with him. I have to give myself closure and it sucks.

I've been enrolled in a cooking school for over year and my mom, she's never been supportive. Because i dropped out of a nursing program to get into a cooking school. She's always making snide comments about how i should've been a nurse or a lawyer, or how i'll only ever be a subservient housewife with this, and when i do make som**hing, she always crizicizes it. Like she's Gordon Ramsay or som**hing "Oh, too much salt." "It's undercooked." "It looks like crap". Even though, pretty much everyone else says the opposite. She's looking for any little thing she can critique about my cooking. She keeps telling me i can't cook and need to get into a real career. I've cooked 3 course dinners for the family and they always get positive reviews, except for her. She had a party for her work friends, I made a whole tray of my specialty take on homemade meatballs (A recipe i conceptualized myself, my signature dish). Everyone kept going back and getting more, so many that they ran out. I asked mom what she thought, she said "They were drunk, they couldn't taste anything." So, i figured if i wanted to get her to compliment my cooking, i'd have to trick her. I cooked her a meal, one of her favorites from scratch, her biggest weakness that she can never resist. Dressed it up to look professional and put it in a generic To-Go Box and had my boyfriend take video of me preparing it, start to finish. I called her and told her that my boyfriend and i were eating at this diner (that doesn't exist), made up a fake name for it and everything. I told her they had her favorite meal and asked if she wanted us to bring...

Backstory: My (16F) dad and mom (both 37F&40M) got a divorce two years ago because my father cheated on my mother, her (the mistress) and my dad got married two months after my parents got a divorce. My parents have joint custody of me and my siblings (17M & 16M (my twin brother), we’re all close and decided we wanted to visit our father, his wife and her kids (16&15F, the father passed) every two weeks since it was either that or we’d have to spend our holidays with them (mother’s orders) which we all didn’t want. I don’t like the two teenage girls and neither do my brothers, they’ve called us the n word multiple times (our dad is Italian while our mom is black, my stepsisters&stepmom are white), usually stay out late, smoke etc. Story: We were at my dad’s house, my brother (twin) and I were playing video games in the living room, my stepsister (16) wanted to watch tv even though she has a tv in her room, we told her to give us half an hour since we hadn’t been playing for long, my stepsister called us both ‘g__tto n——‘ out of nowhere and my stepmother came downstairs to ask what happened. I explained to her what happened and she told me “Anna (random name), I’ve talked to you about this, stop being weak.” I asked her if my stepsister would be getting a consequence and she told me no because I was being weak, then added “for a black girl”. I responded by saying, “I’m weak yet you don’t have enough respect for yourself to leave a man who forgot to tell you he had a wife and kids.” since she wasn’t aware my father had a family while he was cheating with her....

I (24F) and my fiancé (25M) are moving into a small 3 bedroom house together in a couple of months. I had never had my own room growing up and share a room with a roommate in my current living situation to save up money. I always felt the need to share and felt guilty when I wanted to be alone in my room but couldn't since someone else was there. The only time I had a room all to myself was when my roommate or sibling was away. Even so, I didn't feel like I truly had a room to myself. When discussing the use for one of the spare rooms in our soon to be house, I mentioned wanting to turn it into a bedroom for myself when I want to be alone. My fiancé was confused and said he wanted to use the spare room for an at home gym instead. The other spare room will be an office for when my fiancé needs to work from home. I argued that he already has a claim over one of the spare rooms and I should be allowed to use the other one for myself. I told him that I was looking forward to having a space all to myself, where I can be alone when I want, and am the only person that has access to. He argued that the point of moving in together was to share everything with each other and not just coexist in the same space. He said he would change his mind on wanting a gym if we agreed to turn the second room into a guest bedroom that both of us can use when we want to be in our own space. I feel like I would still be sharing. If...

This past Mother's Day, I (M, 34)was the only person available on the actual date of Mother's Day as my older and younger brothers(36 and 28) were going to be doing stuff with their families, and then we would do som**hing with the entire family the following Thursday. So on Sunday my dad, my mom and I went to a local Mexican restaurant, and I took care of the bill which came out to $54. Then on Thursday we went to my mom's favorite restaurant. I was one of the first to arrive and I sat down with the mindset of trying to sit next to my younger brother so we could talk, but I was told to by my mom to sit on the other side of the table so that my brothers and their families could sit together which resulted and me sitting next to my 2 nephews. After dinner, my younger brother called from across the table(first time he spoke to me the entire night), and said "How do you want to split it?" Here's where I might be the a__hole: When he said that the first thing I said was "I already took mom out on Sunday." He just kind of stared at me, confused, so I repeated, "I already took mom out Sunday and paid $54." He just continued to stare at me, and I didn't say anything back. Then I went to the restaurant while he took care of the bill on the tablet thing. Here's the thing, if I was told beforehand that we were going to split the bill I would've been fine with it, but to tell me when the check comes and it be the first and only thing you say to me the entire night rubbed me the wrong way. So, am I the a__hole? EDIT: At restaurant the waiter asked my father if it was going to be one check or separate. I waited to see what he said, but he said one check. So I wasn't expecting to pay anything.

I am 28, Ginny is 25, Ron is 23 My sister ( Ginny) was a nightmare growing up. She was not pleasant at all and got kicked out of the home at 18. I admit our parent could have handled her better but she did not make it easy. They did try to send her to therapy but it put a huge strain on finances. She wouldn’t do the stuff and my parents stopped doing it I am older than her so she left me alone for the most part. My brother (Ron) was two years younger and she was a huge bully to him. She made his life a hell in the home. It got to the point that he would stay in my college dorm room to get away from her. He only went home after our parents kicked her out. After that I didn’t hear from her for a while. Last year she reached out and wanted to catch up. Ginny is much better than how she was as a teenager. She reached out to Ron but he wants nothing to do with her. I see her once every few months. I am getting married and I had a conversation with my brother of what would happen if I invited Ginny. He told me he would not attend, and I understand. So I didn’t invite her. I got a call and she asked me why she was not invited to the wedding. She leaned about it from my aunt. I told her the real reason, the Ron would not attend if she was present. This started an argument about how I chose Ron over her and that he is wrong for giving me an ultimatum. It’s got around to the family and some are saying I am...
