AITA for Considering Sharing Messages My Sister’s Husband Sent Me After My Wedding?

When I was 18 I was dating a guy 20M for almost a year. We lived about 2 hours from each other because I went away for college. When I got back he sat me down with my sister 24F and told me they were in love. She sat there with this smug smile like she was happy that she completely broke my heart. I Just left.

When I returned I met a guy and he knew what happened and said he’d wait until I was ready. I am 24 now married to that man who waited almost a year for me to be ready.

My wedding was 2 weeks ago. Back in November i sent out RSVPs to my parents, my older brother, and other family and friends I wanted to invite an RSVP and my mom called and asked why my older sister didn’t get one. I asked her if she really needed to ask me that. She tried to smooth things over and I told her I’m not speaking to her. They would try this over the course of months.

On my wedding day we were dancing and everyone was having fun until my best friend who was my MOH came in and told me there was an altercation and I went out and sure enough there was my sister, my ex, and her two kids in tow. I have never met my nephews, I’m surprised they even know who I was. They came up running to me and hugging me calling me “auntie Rachel” I told her to leave now.

She tried to cry and tell me she was sorry. I told her again, leave or I’ll call the police. She said I wouldn’t do that because we’re family. I told her family doesn’t sleep with their family’s boyfriends and he tried to Jump in and my brother told them to get out. She started yelling that I was turning people against her. My best friend already called the police so I went back to getting ready. My brother told me she...

AITAH for Not Sharing My Parents' Inheritance with My Aunt and Uncle Who Raised Me?

I was five years old when my parents passed away in a car accident. With no other close relatives willing or able to take me in, my aunt and uncle (my mom’s sister and her husband) stepped up to raise me. I was incredibly grateful at the time, and for a long while, I thought they were the saviors everyone said they were. But as I grew up, the reality of my situation became clearer.

My aunt and uncle had two kids of their own, both a few years older than me. They were given every opportunity—new clothes, extracurricular activities, and family vacations. Meanwhile, I was the one doing most of the household chores. I cooked, cleaned, and took care of the yard. I wasn't outright mistreated, but there was a distinct difference in how I was treated compared to their children.

When I got older, I started to realize that the way they treated me wasn’t normal. My cousins were encouraged to pursue their dreams, while I was told that I should just focus on being "useful" around the house. I wasn’t allowed to go out with friends often, and if I wanted anything—a new pair of shoes, school supplies, anything—I had to earn it by doing extra work around the house. They always told me that I should be grateful because without them, I'd have nothing.

I tried to make the best of it, and despite everything, I managed to do well in school. I was determined to build a life for myself, and when I finally went to college (on a scholarship, since they didn’t offer any financial support), I started to gain some independence. I didn’t cut ties with my aunt and uncle, but I kept my distance, visiting on holidays and calling occasionally out of obligation more than anything else.

Recently, I found out that my parents had left behind a significant inheritance. It had been in a trust that I wasn’t aware of, and when I turned 25, it was all released to me. The money was life-changing, and for...

AITAH for Telling My Fiancé That Her Wedding Budget Is Unrealistic?

My fiancé and I have been engaged for six months, and we’re starting to plan our wedding. She’s always dreamed of a big, lavish wedding, and I’ve always supported her vision. However, when we started discussing the budget, I realized that her expectations were far beyond what we could afford. She’s envisioning a grand event with an expensive venue, designer dress, and a large guest list.

I sat down with her and went over our finances, showing her how much we could realistically spend without going into debt. I suggested some cost-saving measures, like a smaller guest list, a less expensive dress, or a more budget-friendly venue. She got very upset and said that I was ruining her dream wedding. She believes that a wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event and that we should go all out, even if it means taking on debt.

I told her that I wanted our wedding to be special too, but that we need to be practical about what we can afford. I suggested that we could save up for a few more years and then have the big wedding she’s always wanted, or we could compromise and have a beautiful but more modest wedding now. She accused me of not caring about her happiness and said I was being cheap.

Now, she’s giving me the silent treatment and refusing to discuss the wedding any further. Some of our friends think I’m being reasonable, while others say I should just agree to her wishes. AITAH for telling my fiancé that her wedding budget is unrealistic?

AITA for refusing to give my stepsister my late mother’s emerald ring?

So, I (28F) recently found myself in a family conflict that I truly didn't see coming. A bit of background: My mother passed away about two years ago from cancer, and in her will, she left me her prized emerald ring, which had belonged to my grandmother before her. It's not only beautiful but also holds a deep sentimental value for me. I’ve worn it occasionally since her passing, as it makes me feel close to her.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago — my dad (57M) remarried a few months after my mom’s passing, and my new stepmother (let's call her "Sarah," 50F) has a daughter, "Emily" (25F), from her previous marriage. Emily and I have always had a somewhat awkward relationship. She's very sweet but can be a bit overwhelming, and I often feel like she tries too hard to be a part of my life.

Recently, we were celebrating my father’s birthday when Emily casually asked if she could try on my mother's emerald ring. I'd never let anyone wear it before, but I agreed, feeling a bit generous that day. Once she had it on, she started gushing about how stunning it was and how she couldn’t believe my mom had such exquisite taste. Then, almost out of nowhere, she said, "You know, you should totally consider giving this to me someday. I would take such good care of it, and it would mean so much to have something of your mom's."

I was taken aback. I realize she meant it as a compliment, and her intentions might have been benign, but I felt an immediate wave of protectiveness wash over me. I mumbled something about how it meant a lot to me, and I’d never part with it. Since then, it’s like things have shifted. I sensed some tension during family gatherings, and a few days later, my dad called me and mentioned how hurt Emily was that I wouldn't consider sharing the ring.

I explained my feelings, emphasizing that it’s a family heirloom with deep sentimental value. My dad...

I told my friend “every animal hates your gf, that’s a bad sign” - AITAH?

My friend Chris (22 M) has been dating this girl Beth (23 F) for about 2 months. Before I even had met her she didn’t sound too great. From how Chris described her, she sounded hung up on her ex a bit and shes known to lie a lot…So already not a great start! I also know that she has a dog. When we were all in vc together, she was trying to pick up the dog but it kept running away. I didn’t think much of it, in my mind it was a dog that just didn’t want to hugged like that and wanted space. First time I met her was at a house party and the owner of the party had 3 dogs. Me, Chris and Beth decided to go over and see the dogs. Me and Chris started petting and as soon as Beth came in they growled at her. It could be that they smelled another dog on her or they could have hated her perfume? She told them to f__k off and just stormed off childishly. Another time I saw her was at a gathering and Chris’s house. And he has an elderly cat (her name is Wendy, friendliest cat ever). I saw Beth approach Wendy to pet her. She hissed at her and ran. I’ve known Wendy for like 4 years and I’ve NEVER seen her act like that. Shes a real softie but that scared the s__t out of me. I’ve always had the hunch that if animals don’t like a person, it’s a bad sign. I said to Chris when he came back “Dude every animal hates your gf what is going on. That’s baaad sign” and laughed. It was more jokey and light hearted when I said it. He said “That’s not even a thing. Wendy will warm up to her”. Now I feel like an AH saying it. It was just a gut instinct to say it, I honestly see it as a red flag. I asked my mates on vc “have you guys seen Beth being hated on by...

AITA for not wanting my wife to choose our son's name alone?

My wife (27f) and I (29m) have been married for 5 years. She's 7 months pregnant with our first child, a boy. Despite it being an unplanned pregnancy, we're excited about his arrival, but there's an issue: his first and middle names. My wife has a list of names she likes and doesn't accept any of my suggestions. She says she has the right to choose since she's the one carrying the baby for 9 months, going through childbirth, and breastfeeding. She also argues that I already have the "cultural tradition privilege" of giving our baby my surname, so she should have the final say on his first and middle names. I find this very selfish on her part, and I want to have a say in his name decision. I don't want my son to have a name I don't like or that could cause problems for him in the future. We've argued a lot about this and haven't reached an agreement. She says I'm being 'disrespectful' to her, and I say she's being stubborn. AITA?

AITA for eating at Subway without my wife's permission?

Hello folks! Never used Reddit before so take it easy on me. A few of my younger colleagues suggested I could post here, so here goes.

I (M52) have been on an out-of-town work trip for the past few days. With six kids, the holiday season usually drains my coffers, and with the general cost of living rising, financially, it made a lot of sense.

Yesterday afternoon, during my lunch break, I called my lovely wife to check in on her and the kids. The call was standard and pretty straightforward until my wife asked me what I’d been eating. Without thinking, I said Subway.

For as long as I can remember, my wife has loathed Subway. She has many reasons (quality of food in her opinion and customer service) for feeling this way, but they honestly always seemed trivial to me. I quite like their food, but my wife’s influence has caused all of our children, except for our older son, to feel the same way as her.

Once I told her, she was surprised, to say the least. She started listing all the reasons why I should not be eating it and even went on to google the hospital where I was working and pointed out how there were other restaurants in the area. I wouldn’t say we were arguing about it; it was a more lively conversation than I would normally expect people to have about where they eat.

The conversation ended with her saying that she’d prefer me not to eat there. I will admit I was a bit surprised by this, so I said something along the lines of “Honey, I don’t think it’s reasonable for me to be asking you where I should be eating."

She backtracked a bit and denied trying to dictate where I could eat. However, she immediately followed this up by saying she’d appreciate if we discuss future instances like this beforehand. I told her that I thought there wasn’t anything to really discuss, and she seemed upset with this. My break was ending,...

AITA for telling my SIL to stop pressuring me to date?

I (45F) got divorced 3 years ago because my husband cheated on me. I have 2 kids with him one of them is an adult. And the other is 17 so almost an adult. After my divorce, I took celibacy. I did went on few dates but I couldn’t find the spark. Also I didn’t mind being single. This is the first time I have been single since I was 16. I live alone, do knitting, making pottery and explore hobbies that I always wanted to. I also run a small food business because I love food. I have travelled a lot of places within my own country. I have adopted a cat. So I want nothing more than that. I am happy with my situation. But my SIL thinks I should be dating. Otherwise I will lose the divorce. She has this weird thinking that if I do not date it means my ex husband has won. Because his new girlfriend, the mistress, is much younger than I am.

I told her multiple times I do not need to date to win the divorce. It is not a competition. He is not my husband. He is just my children's father. And since my children are still with me instead of their father, I see it as a win for me. Moreover, it doesn't help that my ex husband has been telling people that I am lonely with cats ever since the divorce. But that's not my issue. This Christmas was the last straw. I was invited to spend the holidays with my brother and his family. My SIL came and told me that my ex got an expensive jewelry for his girlfriend. She said I should get a man too so that he can buy stuff for me. I got pi**ed and told her to mind her business. It seems like she is way more obsessed with my ex and his girlfriend.

She should focus on her family rather than putting her nose into mine. My SIL cried like a child and said that she was only...
