My fiancee [27F] and I [29M] grew up very differently. I was an immigrant who moved here when I was 6, and we were definitely struggling a lot. My parents worked extremely hard to provide for me and siblings, and they always prioritized our education over everything. My dad always told me it was his dream to live in a house that he owned, since we'd always rented, but he couldn't save up enough since we were renting in expensive areas with good schools. Unfortunately, both of my parents passed away before being able to realize that dream. My dad passed away when I was 17 and my mom passed away almost 3 years ago due to covid. My fiancee grew up fairly wealthy. Like private schools, designer clothes, 3-4 international vacations per year flying first or business class the whole way. I was able to attend college thanks to student loans, scholarships, and part-time jobs, which delayed my graduation a bit, while her parents were able to fairly easily cover all expenses themselves. However, I'm the last person to say that my fiancee hasn't earned everything she's gotten. She's an extremely intelligent person, and besides funding her education, her parents are in no way responsible for her accomplishments. My fiancee and I met 6 years ago when we started working at the same company, in the same position, at the same time, after graduating from college. We hit it off almost instantly and it didn't take long for us to start dating. Both of us still work at the company, however I've progressed through the career ladder a bit more quickly than she has and now make just over twice what she does. I'll be the first to admit that this is completely undeserved and I've benefitted from a...

My (28F) younger brother (24M) and his fiancée (23F) are supposed to get married in the spring after being engaged for about year. My younger brother has always been the golden child between the both of us to my mom (not to my dad). Him and his fiancée currently live with her, rent free might I add. My dad and I on the other hand have mixed feelings about this wedding. We both feel like my brother is rushing into thing's and not being financially smart. He just finished his bachelor program a year ago, is still trying to get on his feet and find a good full time job in his field, and decides to spend thousands of dollars on a wedding? We sat him down and explained this to him and asked him what the rush was? Why not push it off for a few years and save up so you guys can really have the wedding of your dreams? He explained to us that his fiancée wants the wedding as soon as possible and doesn't want to wait. Well his fiancée's family is pitching in a couple thousand for the wedding, my dad reluctantly is pitching in a couple thousand as well (all important later). Well a few nights ago I'm eating dinner with my husband when I get a call from my future SIL. Convo starts our normal "hey how are you?" "s__tty weather we're having" etc etc, until she tells me she has a serious question to ask me. She asks me if she can use my wedding dress, that I wore to my wedding JUST OVER A YEAR AGO. She explains that she can't afford one herself, that she absolutely LOVES mine and that it would be her "something borrowed". I immediately shut her...

When I was a poorly paid and overworked adjunct professor, I once had a student ask me to take another look at his B- paper, something I would do anytime a student felt strongly they deserved a better grade. This particular paper was messy—good argument, decent research, but clunky writing and plenty of grammatical errors. Still, I agreed to take another look. On my second pass, a sentence caught my attention. Assuming the student had failed to cite a quote, I searched for the quote online. What I found was the original version of the student’s essay—published in a Yale journal. He’d plagiarized the argument and research but rewritten the paper in his own words. Amazingly almost as much work as just writing an original paper. I called him into my office, put both papers side by side, and asked if he had anything to say. He tried to pretend to be confused—but I cut that off. I let him off easy with an F in the class as long as he finished all the assignments and tests so he could still learn as much as possible, which he did—no report of plagiarism on a long-term record. But poor kid could have just gotten away with a B-, if he hadn’t been so confident of his great ripoff!

This one is pretty straight forward. My oldest daughter got married a few months ago. For years she'd been planning a huge "Royal Ball" style wedding that I had always planned on paying for. Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, she and her girlfriend (now wife) canceled everything and went with a small courthouse wedding. So since I didn't have a wedding to pay for, I decided to buy the girls a house as a Christmas present. Christmas morning I gave them the keys and took them over to the new house to show it to them. They loved it. Two hours later my phone starts ringing off the hook from my daughter-in-law's parents, yelling because I bought their daughter a house. They said it wasn't fair because they couldn't afford to buy them such an expensive gift. I told them no one expected them to, and the only reason I did it was that I didn't have to pay for the wedding. Then they demanded that I take the house back from the girls, give the house to them, and tell the girls they have to stay in the apartment they're currently renting. At that point, I just hung up on them and ignored their calls. Now I've got some friends and family members telling me the gift was too much and that I should take it back to keep the piece. I think they're all insane. So am I the a__hole here or what? EDIT: Just to clarify, I live in Miami. My daughter-in-law's parents live in West Virginia.
