AITA for telling my daughter I will help her out with her next wedding?

My (M57) daughter (32) has been divorced thrice already. She got married at 25 to the love of her life. I have her $15,000 as help for the wedding.

Marriage lasted 3 years. She married the love of her life when she was 30. I have her $5,000 for a much smaller more intimate wedding.

Marriage lasted one year. She married the guy that got her pregnant while she was married to never two. They divorced before my grandson was one.

She has met the love of her life and need money for the wedding. I said I would help her with the next one. Now she is crying to he mother calling me an a__hole for not believing in her future.

I have managed to stay married for 33 years. It's not that difficult. My wife wants me to make peace by giving her some money.

But I think it's a waste. Your call. Am I the a__hole for my bad attitude towards my daughter's relationship?



I am not trying to change anyone's mind here. I feel that I insulted people when I said 'It's not that difficult' so I feel like I should explain what I meant. I met my wife when she was married to a guy I worked with.

He passed away in an industrial accident. I saw it happen. After the funeral we became friends.

Three years later we realized we cared for each other so we started dating. We have had our ups and downs and we have gone for counseling when...

AITA for telling my gf she should get a b**b job?

Title sounds awful but here’s my story: I (m26) started dating Lissa (F24) about 10 months ago our relationship started very casually and little by little became a bit more serious, but we’re still not in the “I love you” part.

Early in our relationship we developed a very weir dynamic, when she wanted a compliment, she would say something bad about herself and I then would tell her she’s beautiful and that there’s nothing wrong with her for example, she would say her hair looks awful and she whishes she had silkier hair, then I’d tell her about how beautiful her hair and hairstyle is.

Around mid-September we were hanging out at my house when she found a pic I had with my last ex, I wasn’t keeping that pic for any particular reason it’s just a regular photo of the two of us hugging and I had forgotten it was there (Lissa founded it in an old notebook). She got a bit angry and demanded to know if I still had feelings for her, I told her no and we discarded the photo however Lissa was still angry and started making snide comments about how (in her own words) “I probably still miss having my big b**b ex in my life”.

Now I’m afraid of making this sound more misogynistic that it is until now so I’ll be brief: Yes, my ex had bigger b__ast than Lissa, no, it doesn’t make any difference to me and wouldn’t date anyone based on b__ast size alone. I do have my preferences but I still not...

AITA for not turning on my Christmas lights for some families that came to see them because everyone on our street agreed to keep them off?

So over the past few years the candy cane lane in our town has gotten insanely popular with people from out of town because people have been posting all about it on social media. All of us have really elaborate decorations.

This has caused the street to be so crowded and full of people for weeks leading up to Christmas that the residents cannot leave out of their driveways anymore.

So I talked over the issue with our neighbors and all of us have agreed to keep all our Christmas lights off except on Saturday nights, Christmas and Christmas Eve.

On Friday night when my wife and I got home there were groups of people walking towards our street and few families milling about the street.

One of the dads came up to me and asked if this was candy cane lane and why all the lights were off. I told him it was and why the lights were off.

He asked pretty politely if we could turn on our lights because they wouldn’t be able to come next day or next weekend as this was the day that worked for everyone. He also said they had come from downtown of major city nearby (which is a pretty big drive) because their kids don’t get to see lights otherwise. Downtown area can be really shady at night and the city pretty much just puts on a few string of lights here and there.

I knew my other neighbors would be mad at me if I caved. I was a big advocate for...

AITAH for really not like my Mom's partner and considering NC

My father passed away when I was 15. For years afterward, my mom always said she'd never date or remarry. We became a very close family, and she built a successful career and a good life on her own.

About eight years later, when I met my husband, she suddenly decided she wanted to start dating. My brother and I were happy for her and supported her.

The first man she dated immediately raised red flags for us. He love-bombed her, and within about a month he claimed he had work near her house and asked if he could stay over during the week. She agreed. It turned out there was never any work nearby—he essentially moved in and never got a job. They were married within a year.

Since then, I've watched my mom become a completely different person. She used to be outgoing, optimistic, and surrounded by friends. Over the years she became negative, withdrawn, quit her well-paying job, and financially struggled while he contributed very little. He spends most of his time sitting on the couch watching TV and complaining, while my mom carries everything.

Earlier this year there was a serious incident involving him and my brother that became life-threatening. It traumatized our entire family. After that, my brother and I told our mom that if she chose to stay with him, we would have to go no contact for our own well-being.

She chose to leave him, and he moved out. Since then it's honestly been like watching my mom come back to life. She's happier, less irritable,...

AITA for telling my fiancé that his daughter is manipulating him?

My fiancé is a single dad to Summer (15). Summer has an autoimmune disease and her mom isn’t in the picture. Her dad spoils her rotten because of this.

If dinner’s already done but Summer wants something else, he orders it for her because “she gets cravings”. She doesn’t do any chores around the house and I’m not allowed to ask her for help with anything. If she’s being a brat he excuses it because “her medicines cause mood swings” and she can demand all of his attention whenever she wants.

Summer goes to one of those year round schools. So instead of a 3 month summer break, they get like a month in the summer and they split the other 2 months up throughout the rest of the year. Because of this, she has a 4 week winter break.

Summer was supposed to spend the first week of winter break on vacation with her friend and her mom. It was okay at first. I enjoyed spending time with my fiancé without her interrupting us every 10 minutes but she still called when she woke up, before she went to bed, and every few hours in between. She constantly complained that she missed him (this was the first time she’s been away from him since her mom left).

On day 4, we got a call from her friend’s mom. Summer wasn’t feeling well and wanted to go home. I answered the phone the first time and I asked the mom if she had a fever, was throwing up, or was actually sick. The mom...

AITAH for refusing to pay my boyfriend rent?

I (f24) moved in with my boyfriend (m27) 10 months ago. He bought his house 2 years ago and paid the down payment himself but his parents have paid his mortgage since. We split all house expenses and utilities 50/50 but recently we’ve been spending a lot more money on shopping and trips so our expenses have been higher than usual. He said he was low on money so maybe I could start paying rent to him. I said that didn’t seem fair to pay him rent since he doesn’t pay his mortgage but he said the arrangement is between him and his parents and not between me and his parents. AITA for not wanting to pay rent? Update: we had a long conversation about our financial arrangement and agreed on more clearly defined contributions to our joint expenses. We are planning a budget and to cut back on our spending. We agreed that what I would be spending on rent should instead go into saving for a down payment on a house together and he would use equity from selling his house so we both contribute the same to a down payment on a house together.

AITA for not renting out a rooms in my house for friends?

I bought my first home not too long ago and have been enjoying the privacy. Prior to purchasing my home I was living with roommates. For some history when I was looking for a new place to stay back in the day i had asked a few of my friends if I could rent a room where they were at but they all had their reasons for not being able to.

Well the shoe is on the other foot now and a couple of friends have asked if they can rent my spare rooms. My spare rooms all have a purpose. One is my office, one is a fully outfitted spare bedroom (for visiting family), and the other is a music room.

It's not just that the rooms can't be adjusted to accommodate a roommate. I've been having a active dating life and I want to be able to use all parts of my home without having to worry about anyone else being around. I was honest and told them having roommates is not what I want and it will mess with my personal life too much.

They kept trying to convince me but I held firm. One of them got pi**ed and made the comment that I think I'm too good now. Honestly when I think about it I probably got turned down for the same reason a few years back.

Regardless I dont want roommates and enjoy my current setup. AITA?

AITA for not letting my wife buy things with words on them?

Obviously some context and examples are needed, but I generally dislike things that have a message written on them and have told my wife I don't want things like that in the house. For example: 'Live Laugh Love' or 'Keep Calm and...' are super tacky, in my opinion, and have no place in a house. I think that if you're going to hang something on the wall it needs to be something meaningful, but abstract enough that other people can find their own meaning in it. Also, I think they're incredibly lazy decorating, you're basically saying 'I am not worth finding something I actually like, I'm fine with a $20 sticker! Maybe the only thing I need to turn my life around is a 4'x8' sticker that tells me "YOU ARE SO LOVED"".

I've also extended the rule to the clothes my toddler wears (everyone knows that I'm not putting on a shirt with words on it). And my wife will occasionally show me clothes with generic phrases like 'future heart breaker' or 'daddy's source of constant frustration' written in generic typeface. I'll veto, and she will complain a little, but in general understands my point of view. Basically, I don't want my kid to be used as a billboard for either companies or s__tty hot takes. On the plus side, I have a ton of photos where I won't have to explain some stupid meme to my kid when she grows up ("You see, there was this thing called 'The Chive' back before you were born..."). When the kid is older they can decide what they...

UPDATE: AITAH for not telling my friend my shampoo had green hair dye in it?

I know that everyone says this but man i did not expect my previous post to blow up so much. some people have been asking for an update, i’m sorry it took so long but i honestly forgot all about it until i saw a tiktok of some people on a podcast covering my story lol

before i get into the update i'd like to clear a few things up. firstly, yes, i am a guy and yes, i have a husband. it's this new thing called "gay" if you haven't heard of it i suggest looking it up on google. secondly, a couple people were accusing me of this story being fake because i put hair dye in my shampoo AND conditioner when apparently you're only supposed to put it in your conditioner as putting hair dye in your shampoo doesn't do anything to maintain the color. i assure you this story is true, i’m just a f__king i__ot who likes to waste hair dye apparently. i posted pictures of my mohawk and conditioner bottle to my profile, i hope that's sufficient evidence for you reddit skeptics. onto the update.

exactly ONE of the commenters hit the nail right on the head with their prediction. a few days after the incident my friend texted me saying she was sorry for blowing up on me and that it was entirely her fault she messed up her hair and she just took it out on me because she was upset in the moment. she said i was right, she should have respected my things, and now we're...

AITA for not inviting my friend to something because she ALWAYS brings her husband?

Ever since my friend got engaged (and later married), her husband comes with her everywhere. In the beginning, it didn’t seem weird, but she’d mention something about a girls’ night and when we’d show up, he’d be there. Friends would have birthday parties where none of our partners were invited and it was just the girls, and she’d bring him. We tried to talk to her about it, but she says it’s just how they are as a couple. They like to do things together. There have been a few occasions where he won’t come, but that’s because he’s working. It got to the point where we tried to plan events around his work schedule (it’s the same every week) but eventually that became impossible.

We haven’t gotten together much over the past year because of the pandemic but recently our favorite bar reopened with patio seating. A bunch of us wanted to go, but the only night that worked for us was a time when friend’s husband wasn’t working. It meant he’d come. So, we chose not to include her on these plans and went out, having a great time. We could b__ch about whatever, there wasn’t someone awkwardly hanging over us. It was the girls’ night we needed.

One of the people in our group posted a picture on Instagram and our friend who wasn’t invited saw it. She got upset that she wasn’t invited and was asking why, we knew she was free, etc. No one wanted to own up to it and I said “Because we wanted a girls’ night. Not a...
