AITA for leaving my own wedding early?

So I (30m) and my husband (34m) just got married a week ago. We were having a good wedding until the speeches happened. Now i thought it was common sense to not do this, but during the best man's speech he decided to propose to his girlfriend. She said yes and all hell broke loose.

From that point on, no one paid attention to me or my husband nor paid attention to the event times. People starting eating early, the speeches were cut short after he proposed, on top of that he got the dj to play him and his girlfriend "their song". Which incited a whole bunch of couples to do the same. For about 3 hours it was just couples running to the dj to play "their song" and hogging the dance floor. When me and my husband finally got a chance to dance people were to exhausted and didn't pay attention, they instead went to eat.

After several hours of this, i told my husband I didn't really want to be here anymore, and he agreed. We ended up leaving, the only person we said goodbye to was our parents. Nobody even noticed we had left.

Now here's the problem. 3 days after the wedding a cousin of mine had asked me when did i leave my wedding, as she never got to say goodbye. I told her we left early because nobody was paying attention nor cared enough to. She said ok and hanged up. Now we've been getting calls from all our relatives telling us we're immature and need to lighten up. That we should be happy our wedding made people this romantic.

So AITA?

AITA for blocking my coworkers number? Causing her to get a write up?

Most waitress jobs have an app so you can see your shifts and pick up extra ones. You can see who else is working what shifts and can also send messages on this app: this is important for later.

So at my last job, I allowed others to text my number so they can ask me to pick up shifts. This became ANNOYING because I was the first person they ask and it was anyways “an emergency”. They would start using my number for personal conversations and it sometimes got messy because someone would vent to me and then try to continue the conversation in the workplace, causing drama to follow.
So now at my new job, I’ve decided to keep my work and personal life separate. And I would only communicate through the app. Now keep in mind I’m still really new to the place (I’ve barely been there a month) and I’ve already had people texting my number (I’m not sure if they’re getting it from the app or someone at the restaurant) asking me to pick up their shifts. Usually a quick “I don’t communicate work matters through my number, please send me a message through the app” gets them to stop. Not this time.
A coworker texted me at 5am on Friday, asking if I could take her shift for Saturday. I shoot her the line I send everyone. She’s starts texting like “oh it’ll only take a second, this way is just faster” I reiterate I will not communicate through my number and to message me through the app. She continues with “but you’re already here and I’ve already asked so just take my shift” now I was already working that Saturday night, so not only is she asking me to take her shift, she’s asking me to work a double. I send her the line again. She says that it’s an emergency and that she NEEDS me to cover her shift. I tell her I’m not discussing it any further and that I’m already working Saturday anyways. I then block her number.

AITA for making it clear to my stepmom that I don't want her to be present when I give birth?

My stepmom saw a comment I made on a Facebook post several weeks ago that said I would probably have my mom in the delivery room with me if she were still alive. The post was from a page I follow asking expectant parents if they thought their mom's being there would bring them some comfort. She messaged me on Facebook when she saw it and told me I could still have one of my mom's there, her. I replied back that it wasn't her I meant.

I saw her a few days after and she brought up to me how embarrassing it was to have me openly state that on social media where people could see. She said most would assume I have two mom's and that she would be worthy of being invited. I told her my reply was not said to embarrass her but I was being honest about my feelings on the topic. She brought it up more times and tried to advocate for me saying yes. When I kept saying no she said I was blessed with two mom's and sometimes I act as though I only have one.

The background to this is as follows: I lost my mom when I was 6 and dad remarried just before I turned 8. My stepmom wanted to adopt me when they got married but I didn't want that. My dad didn't want to waste the money if I'd tell a judge I didn't want it and said judge sided with me. I think my stepmom tried to be a good second mom and tried to fill the space my mom used to. She didn't remove mom's memory but she did compete with her memory a lot. I never wanted a second mom and always saw her as more of a dad's wife than a stepmom, but saying stepmom seemed like a compromise to not rock the boat too much. She has four sons with my dad. She's a good mom to them though I think she always wanted a daughter and I do believe...

AITA for Confronting My Ex-Husband's New Wife Over Her Treatment of My Daughter?

I (38F) find myself in a complicated situation involving my ex-husband (40M) and his new wife (35F). We divorced five years ago, and while our marriage ended, our priority has always been our 10-year-old daughter, Lily.

Initially, everything was smooth. My ex-husband and I shared custody of Lily, and we both made an effort to maintain a friendly co-parenting relationship. However, things took a turn for the worse when my ex-husband introduced Lily to his new girlfriend, now his wife, Sarah.

At first, I was happy for my ex-husband to have found love again. But it didn't take long for me to notice that Sarah was treating Lily differently from her own children. She has two kids from a previous marriage, and while she's affectionate and kind to them, she often excludes Lily.

Lily would come home after her weekends with her dad and Sarah, tearfully recounting incidents where she felt left out, ignored, or even bullied by Sarah's children. Lily's self-esteem took a hit, and she started acting out at home and at school.

I tried to address this issue with my ex-husband, explaining how it was affecting Lily's emotional well-being. He assured me that he would talk to Sarah about it. However, nothing seemed to change. Sarah's behavior persisted, and Lily continued to suffer.

Feeling helpless, I decided to take matters into my own hands. One day, after dropping Lily off at her dad's place, I asked to speak with Sarah privately. I calmly expressed my concerns and told her how Lily was feeling left out and hurt. I suggested that we could all sit down and discuss how to make this transition easier for Lily.

Sarah, however, became defensive and accused me of meddling in her family. She even insinuated that I was trying to drive a wedge between her and my ex-husband. Our conversation quickly escalated into an argument, with neither of us willing to back down.

After that confrontation, my ex-husband and I had a heated discussion. He accused me of causing problems in his new marriage and...

WIBTA if I didn't ask my niece to be a flower girl?

Throwaway because I don't know if my family is on Reddit.

I (28F) and my fiance (30M) are planning our wedding and originally wanted his niece (3) and my niece (5) to be co-flower girls. My niece is the only little girl in my family, so it's pretty much expected by the whole family that she will be a flower girl in our wedding. For some background, many members of my family (myself included) think that she is on the autism spectrum, but my sister and BIL refuse to entertain any idea of that being a possibility. I absolutely adore my niece, but after seeing her as the flower girl in my brother's wedding last week I do not want her in mine.

Examples include chucking the flower petals at the guests like she was pitching a major league baseball game, screeching through the entire ceremony, getting up onto the altar and doing a Fortnite dance while they were exchanging their vows, climbing onto the tables during dinner, going to the middle of the dance floor during the wedding party speeches and taking her dress off, and grabbing the microphone to announce that she had to p**p.

She is an only child so my sister and BIL think this is completely normal for her age and that her antics are just THE CUTEST, so it's not easy to ask them to supervise her more closely and to be honest, I don't trust that they would if I asked. I love my niece, but she is out of control in formal settings.

I feel really selfish for thinking that she will ruin my wedding, but I was mad FOR the bride last week and can't imagine how I would feel if it were me. I don't want to upset anyone by not asking her or having to explain why I'm not asking her, and she will still be invited to the wedding so I'm sure there will be some antics, but after discussing it with my fiance we agree that we do NOT want her to be...

AITA for going on a trip and abandoning my family?

I (F35) married my husband Ed (M40) when I was 25. He was already having an established career, own home etc. He understood my need for the same, established career and property in my own name.

I worked hard to get these both by the time I was 30 too. But the pressure from both my parents and his family made us decide to have a child. Since everything was 50-50 upto the childbirth, I expected the same after too.

I took care of house management and childcare in my paid maternity leave. After the 6 months were up, I wanted to go back to work. My husband suggested I stay home with baby until she turned two. I didn't want to take a break from my career but fact was he outearned me and logical solution was he would support both of us.

But then covid happened. We couldn't send her to daycare. I was again the primary parent for 2 more years, even though my husband worked from home. I didn't complain since he was the sole bread earner.

But last year, I finally got a job and started sending our daughter to kindergarten. I was happy. I was more commited to job than ever. But I had to work long hours and that meant splitting home chores and childcare.

Maybe it was the break he got for four years, but hubby seemed to get depressed and agitated at having to do chores. He mentioned here and there how it was unfair he had to do these when clearly I could do it all.

Yesterday my boss asked me to travel next week for a work thing. It's a week long trip and expected in my profession. When I told hubby this, he was incredibly mad at me saying I shouldn't commit to trip like these since I have duties at home.

I reminded him whenever he went on work trips, I managed it all by myself. He said its not the same since I am a women. I didn't like...

AITA for telling my best friend why I wasn't attending his wedding?

I might have fu**ed up.

Me (32M) and my best friend Alex (32M) have been friends since diapers, we're basically family. After college we both moved back home so we could live at home and get our feet underneath us. Alex started dating Stella (35F), a lovely girl, around 4.5 years ago, and from the get go she seemed to politely dislike me, idk why, oh well c'est la vie. Alex and Stella moved across the country in 2021 after Stella earned a promotion at work, In 2022 Alex proposed, she said yes, and they set a wedding date for the end of September 2023.

I got a save the date card at the beginning of the year, and based on the conversations I had with Alex assumed I would be in the wedding party, either as a groomsman or the best man, but never received any official confirmation from either of them. Couple months before the wedding I saw that wedding invitations had gone out on social media, and figured mine was on route. It never came. I waited a couple weeks, figured it might have just gotten lost in the mail, before I checked in with him.

I called Alex and had a brief conversation with him where he was clearly agitated and said he was dealing with a lot, would be incommunicado for the near future, to direct any wedding related questions to Stella, and he'd called me when things cooled off. I called, texted, and emailed Stella several times over the course of a week but she didn't respond to any of them. At this point I figured I wouldn't be attending the wedding, and that things were really fu**ed up for some reason between the two of us.

Yesterday, a little over three weeks after our last conversation, Alex dm'd asking if I was free to chat. I jumped at the opportunity to get some answers, and after exchanging pleasantries Alex jumped right into a spiel saying that he knew I was super busy with work and dealing with a lot...

AITA For yelling at my Mil when she tried to claim my heritage in order to erase me from my son?

My Mil claims everything about my son when it comes to how he looks. His hair color, eye color, shape of his nose, the way his ears stick out a little bit. Yeah, that apparently all came from her and her side of the family. If I take claim to anything she either ignores me, or tells me how im wrong.

I was thinking of getting a DNA test for my son so that we wouldn't have to buy two separate tests for my husband and I, but I was also considering just getting the two tests so that we would have a definite answer as to what my side holds and what his does. There's one heritage we definitely don't share. I'm half Mexican. He's white basically.

I tell my Mil and also I tell her how if we just get one for my son, there's things that are obviously going to be from my family, but i kinda wanna know the percentages for the things that overlap.

My very much white MIL told me to not be so sure about where my son would get his Mexican genes from because she thinks she found something recently in her family history that leads to her having Mexican genes too. Or something like that. I was too angry to really listen.

I get claiming the other things, but to now claim a heritage that isn't hers?! My grandfather taught me about his culture and I took it in as my heritage. Its a part of me that I'm proud of even if I get sh*t from some people when I tell them.

For her to try to claim it was the last straw. I blew up at her. I really don't yell at people. She went completely silent as I yelled at her.

I told her how sick and tired I was of her trying to erase my involvement in MY son. That her trying to take claim to a heritage that she knows absolutely nothing about was my final straw. I no longer...
