AITA for not talking to my father anymore and refusing to call him dad because he decided he didn't want a daughter anymore?

Me (19)F and my father (56)M were never close, he is my biological father and he was always with my mother, he is the kind of "fun" father always making jokes and jokes and with me these jokes were always about my weight, my intelligence, or my effort I never cared much about it since it was a "family thing" but he crossed the line four days ago, He had a severe fight with my mother, my father is not the financial provider of my house and he helps minimally with the household chores, being a quickly irritable man, it was not new for my parents to fight about the care of the house and me, this time my father is saying that he was going to find a place for him to live and leave my mother (a common strategy for him) so my mother said q he would have to fulfill his legal duties as a father and pay alimony to her until I finished college, he said he had already given up being my father a long time ago and he could consider that I no longer had a father, that's the part that maybe I was the a__hole, my father until then had not seen that I am right behind him, I said with the most impassive face possible that then I no longer had a father and that from that day on I would no longer need him for anything, I know how to manage very well alone because he has forgotten me several times in all kinds of places (in my psychologist's office when my appointment It was at 1:00 pm my mother hurts to pick me up at 6:00 pm) so in fact I managed alone without him now four days later my mother talked to him again and now she is asking me to stop making drama and go back to calling him father when I refer to him and return to "normal" I told my mother that (real name of my ex father) I could live without having a daughter I...

Aita for allowing my sister in law and my niece to stay at my place for night when they showed up at my door at 10pm?

Yesterday my sil with my niece showed up at my place at 10, I heard the door bell and immediately went to check because I wasn't expecting anyone so late at night, so without opening the door I asked who is it and when my niece spoke that 'its me' I was completely shocked, my niece is 14, there's no way she would come to my place so late at night all alone, I immediately opened the door and asked her to come inside, and asked her what is she doing all alone so late, my niece said that she came with her mother, when I asked her where she is, she said she's outside talking on the phone.

I was like WTF, I went outside and saw her and just said come inside once she's done talking and stay as close as possible to the door it's open, I asked my niece what happened and she said that my brother is pi**ed because of her grades and she was crying, I comforted her and gave her icecream and asked her to play games or watch tv, I will go order something delicious for you.

I waited for my sil and kept an eye on her, she came inside and I asked her what is going on, she said that my brother was a bit drunk and yelling at my niece because she didn't perform well, and when she felt unsafe, she took my niece and came to me, I gave her a beer and told her I will talk to my brother next morning, I gave her a spare key to my place and told her she and my niece is allowed to stay In my house even if I'm not around and they don't need to ask for my permission.

My sil was crying and kept venting I comforted her we hugged each other and I told her I will talk to my brother and she doesn't want to worry about anything, after sometime we heard my niece crying and we immediately went to check...

AITA for Refusing to Be My Sister’s Surrogate After Learning the Full Plan?

Here is the link to my previous post: [link]

So I promised an update tomorrow, but my dad actually ended up calling me while I was hanging out and told me to come over for dinner yesterday night so we could talk. I want to start by saying thank you so much for all the comments and advice, some of you were jerks to not only me, but my sister and boyfriend as well. I still appreciate the help. I didn’t even ask about what when my dad called, I figured he had spoken to Stacy. Based on comments I know you guys won’t be happy, but I spoke with my boyfriend about where his head was if I were to go forward with it. He told me that he loved me and would support me through any and everything, but he would not continue to sit by why my sister made me feel like trash and if I was doing this under coercion he would not be able to support me- which I honestly completely understand.

When we went over to my dad’s for dinner my sister and BIL were already there. I spoke to them both when we walked in but only my sister replied, my BIL gave me the most disgusting look and greeted my boyfriend only. My dad sat us down at the table and there was just this awkward silence and tension I could cut with a butcher knife. He said, “somebody talk, we need to get this resolved before the game tomorrow night.” My dad LOVES football lol. I started off the conversation by telling her that I did some research and atop of my initial concerns I now had a few more and needed to know exactly what she needed from me. I first asked her what being a surrogate would look like, she just said, “Are you agreeing to it?” When I told her no, I just needed more details she broke down crying. I asked her if she knew that a doctor would deny me from being a surrogate...

AITA for getting upset at my boyfriend’s constant jokes about my fake b***s?

Okay, so I (25F) had a b__ast augmentation about a year ago. It wasn’t some huge, drastic change—I just did it for myself to feel more confident. My boyfriend (28M), who I’ve been with for three years, was supportive through the whole thing. He even told me I didn’t need the surgery, which was sweet, but ultimately, it was my decision.

Everything was fine for a while, but lately, he’s been making nonstop jokes about my b***s. At first, I laughed along because I can take a joke, but now it’s constant, and it’s starting to really hurt.

Here are a few examples:
-We were out with friends, and he goes, "Careful, don’t hug her too hard, those things might pop!" Cue everyone laughing awkwardly while I just forced a smile.
-He’ll poke at my chest and say, "I’m just checking if they’re still there!"—even in public.
-Last night, we were watching TV, and he randomly says, "Do you ever miss your real b***s?" Like, seriously?

But the worst one, the one that hit me the hardest, was when we were at a friend’s party. He was a few drinks in, and out of nowhere, he says, "At least if we ever go broke, we can sell her ‘parts’ to pay rent!" Everyone laughed, and I stood there, completely stunned. It was mortifying. I laughed along awkwardly because I didn’t want to cause a scene, but inside, I just wanted to cry.

The thing is, I’ve told him multiple times that it’s making me feel bad. I even told him that some of his jokes really hit hard for me emotionally, but he brushes it off and says, "I’m just kidding!" or "Don’t be so sensitive!"

The truth is... it’s gotten to the point where his comments actually make me cry. I feel so bad about myself, and instead of making me feel confident, it’s making me feel worse than before. I’ve cried more than once because of it, and I don’t even think he understands how much it’s affecting me.

I know he...

AITA for paying for my own dinner and refusing to drink on a first date with a guy?

I (24F) went on a date with a guy (26M) I met through a mutual friend about a year ago. We’re both in college graduate programs, and he seemed nice enough when we were texting at the time, so I agreed to meet up for dinner.

When we got to the restaurant, the vibe immediately felt off. I had been there before and loved it, but something about how he insisted on doing all of these "gentlemanly" things threw me off. He kept mentioning how much the place cost and suggested we should order a bottle of wine. I told him I don’t drink because I’m not into alcohol (I never have been), but he pushed me to "loosen up." I stood my ground and just ordered water.

As the night went on, he got more frustrated. He kept making jokes about me being a "buzzkill" and how it "wasn't fun" without alcohol. We ordered he got a sirloin, and I got a New York strip. By the end of the meal, I decided to just pay for my own food because I didn't want him to feel like I owed him anything, especially after all the pressure. Especially because I knew my bill was going to be higher because my steak was much larger.

When the waitress came back, I asked for separate cheques. He looked visibly angry, and asked why I didn’t "let him be a gentleman." I explained that I didn’t feel comfortable letting him pay, and I thought it was fair since I chose what I ate.

After dinner, he texted me saying I was rude for not accepting his offer to pay, and that I acted "super cold" by not having a drink with him. I blocked his number that day.

I've since never spoken to him again, but went out to that same steakhouse with my current boyfriend (28M), of 6 months, whom I happily let pay for everything and he made me feel like a queen all night, he still does, every day. He had a couple martinis...

AITA for Telling My Wife I’m Leaving Her Because She Doesn’t Want Kids Anymore?

My wife and I have always been on the same page about wanting children. We talked about it extensively before we got married, and it was one of the things that drew us together as a couple. However, over the past couple of years, she’s started to change her mind. At first, she said she wanted to wait a little longer, which I was fine with, but now she’s telling me she doesn’t want kids at all.

This revelation has thrown me for a loop. Having children is something I’ve always wanted, and I feel like it’s a fundamental part of who I am. I love my wife, but I can’t imagine a future without kids, and I don’t think I can stay in a marriage where that dream is off the table.

We’ve had several conversations about it, but she’s firm in her decision. She says she doesn’t want the responsibility of raising children and is happy with just the two of us. While I respect her feelings, I can’t help but feel like I’m giving up a huge part of my future if I stay in this marriage.

I recently told her that if she’s truly set on not having kids, then I want a divorce. She’s devastated, accusing me of choosing hypothetical children over her. I feel horrible, but I also feel like this is too big an issue to compromise on.

Am I the a__hole for ending my marriage over a change in plans, or is this a deal breaker that I’m justified in not letting go?

AITAH for sending my ex’s daughter to foster care?

I moved in with my ex after I found out I was pregnant. We were together for 4 years. During that time, his daughter’s mom died of a d__g overdose so she came to stay with us. She had been with us for a little over a year. However, a few weeks ago, he just straight up left me after a fight. As as enraged as I am, I am also sad, not only for our child but for his daughter. I have 2 other kids from another relationship and they were also sad to seen him leave. But now that he’s gone, money is extremely tight. That’s why she can’t stay with us. So as of right now, she’s in the state’s custody. Part of me feels guilty for that poor girl.

AITAH for Refusing to Attend My Dad’s Wedding After Overhearing His Fiancée Talk S*t About Me and My Little Brother?

So this has been bothering me for a while, and I really need some perspective. I (26F) am supposed to go to my dad’s wedding next month. He’s getting married to his fiancée, “Lily” (40F), who I’ve been trying really hard to get along with for his sake. But there’s always been something off with her. I can’t explain it exactly, but the way she interacts with me and my little brother “Thomas” (23M) has always felt fake, like she’s putting on an act.

Anyway, a few weeks ago, I went over to my dad's for dinner with them. Everything seemed fine at first, but at one point my dad stepped outside to take a phone call. So it was just me and Lily in the house. I was in the other room when I overheard her talking on the phone to someone, and she was completely trashing me and Jake. I wasn’t eavesdropping, I swear—I just happened to hear it. She was saying things like, “I don’t get why he still wastes time on them, they’re both adults now. He needs to cut them loose and stop babying them. They’re just in the way.” She even said my dad would be “better off” without us in his life.

I was fuming. I didn’t know what to do at the moment, so I didn’t confront her, but as soon as my dad came back inside, I told him what I heard. And instead of being on my side, he brushed it off. He said something like, “Oh, I’m sure she didn’t mean it like that, you’re taking it too seriously. She’s just stressed with the wedding coming up.” He kept downplaying it, like I was overreacting and making a big deal out of nothing.

Now the wedding is coming up in a couple of weeks, and I honestly don’t even want to go. I haven’t talked to Lily since that night, and my dad is acting like nothing happened at all. I told him I’m really hurt and feel disrespected, but he just keeps telling me to...

AITA for refusing to pay child support for my biological child?

I met the mother my freshman year in college and we hooked up but never dated. She got pregnant and because I didn’t want to quit school and we weren’t serious, I didn’t want her to keep it but she wanted to. I also didn’t think it was mine because she was hooking up with other guys and to be fair, I was also hooking up with other girls. However, it was determined that I was the father so we went separate ways and I paid her monthly child support for about 8 years.

Then she got married and her husband adopted the kid. I was relieved because that ended my obligations. By that time I was paying about $2,500 a month. Before she got married, we barely communicated and afterwards, we stopped all together. I didn’t hear anything from her until about a month ago when I received a letter from her attorney stating that I had to resume my child support payments. I don’t know the exact details but apparently she’s going through a divorce and wants me to resume the payments.

I went to my attorney and he assures me that I’m under no legal obligations to pay and advised me not to or else that could restart my legal obligations. He calculated my payments to be about $4,500 based on my current financial standings. I definitely don’t want to pay out that much so I had him draft a letter telling her no.

I told my family about these new developments my mom got all over me about it. She thinks I’m being cruel to an innocent child that I brought into the world and doesn’t care what my attorney advised me. She’s been guilt tripping me and hinted that I won’t be invited to Thanksgiving or Christmas if I don’t step up and be a man. My dad and brothers are on my side but they don’t want to argue with mom.

I love my mom but I don’t want to be on the hook for almost $55,000 a year until...

AITA for being honest with my friend's wife about why I dropped him as a friend?

My closest friend since childhood "Evan" married "Valerie" five years ago. To be honest I never liked her as she is extremely rude and usually refuses to speak and just stares. This issue is bad enough she doesn't have a relationship with her own father, because she won't speak to his wife or her half sisters. To be clear she absolutely can speak. She has a PhD, a job, friends. She really really enjoys not speaking though. Evan has even said its like her passion in life.

Valerie rarely speaks to me, but it's fine. I personally have no desire to talk to her, but maintained a close friendship with Evan. We even went on group trips and her not speaking really didn't bother me, but it does bother my fiancee "Heather" Heather feels disrespected as she has tried to get to know Valerie and been ignored. Heather came to me and told me how hurtful it was and that if she wouldn't speak, she didn't want her at our wedding.

I talked to Evan who said Heather was being a child. He said Valerie isn't our wind up doll, and he respects her having full autonomy. I said I could no longer expose Heather to this hurtful behavior and said Valerie couldn't come to our wedding. He dropped out of the wedding and we ended the friendship. However we do still see each other in group settings.

Recently Valerie approached me and asked for the real reason behind the rift. I told her and she seemed horrified. She thought it was really sweet he defended her, but she didn't want him to lose a friendship, so she said she would try to talk to Heather. Valerie approached Heather and made the world's most awkward small talk while making a face like she was disgusted. Evan found out why she was doing it and told her to stop and she doesn't owe anyone a thing and he would never ask her to do that for him. They left and he sent me a pi**ed text that I...

AITAH for wanting to bankrupt my ex-wife?

My wife and I legally separated two years ago and filed for divorce last year. During the divorce, we agreed that I would keep the house, refinance it and pay her the 50% of equity owed. She was brining in 6 figures and I only made about 58k during the marriages so she paid me spousal support. Because she put the down payment on the house, I decided to give her an extra 10% of the equity split as I believed that to be fair. We also had two cars that we needed to refinance to take each other off the loan. Well, none of this happened, of course, because I chose to keep things amicable between us and didn’t seek legal counsel. I filed the divorce paperwork myself.

Fast forward to February of this year. I get a call from Carmax trying to collect a debt. My ex-wife missed a car payment. We talked about it. I understood that things come up and I said I would t mind making the payment this one time as long as she pays me back. I was still peeved though as I suspected that she missed her payment because of the same reason she had failed to make an alimony payment a few months back, because she’s financially supporting her new unemployed, daddy of 4, felonious boyfriend. March comes around and I get another call from Carmax. April, May, June and July. Calls from Carmax every month.

By May I was already concerned. I come to find out that she has accumulated an exorbitant amount of debt in one year, the length of her new relationship. Her credit is almost non-existent, but she’s buying Great Danes, and guns, shopping on Temu, and traveling around the US with her bf and kids. I continued to make payments on her car because I didn’t want my credit to be affected by her inaction. She was paying me back but it was like pulling teeth. By June I got fed up and asked her to either refinance or sell her car which of...
