AITAH for telling my (21F) family that my partner (21M) forced me to do a paternity test?

My partner and I have been together for over four years and I recently gave birth to our daughter. We had kept the pregnancy to ourselves till our baby was born happy and healthy due to worries about complications as I faced a high risk pregnancy.

We told our families after she was born, while my family was ecstatic, his was questioning if we hid it for ulterior reasons (they’ve always heavily disliked me and believe I’m just with their son for money.)

Yesterday we took her to meet her grandparents from his side and, after some polite conversation, they dropped the bomb that they would be doing a paternity test that he agreed to. To not make myself look suspicious I agreed to it but afterward made it clear to my partner that I felt incredibly disrespect. Cue an argument where he told me it wasn’t a big deal if it was his and that the test was requested for by them to ease their uncertainty.

Fast forward to today, I was having lunch with my mother and told her about the incident which left her pi**ed off and calling my partner a couple of names for insinuating I could’ve cheated. My mother ended up telling my grandparents who in a rage told him they would no longer accept him in their house for disrespecting me in such a way when the child is practically his twin.

We had another argument about it and he screamed saying i ruined his image by telling them. AITAH?

EDIT : Some of you are concerned...

AITA for changing my mind midway through buying a stranger coffee?

I stopped by a local coffee place after work today. There was a woman behind me in line with a toddler, the kid was sweet and saying "hello" to everyone in line and genuinely brightened my day.

While I was standing near the cash register waiting for my order, the woman stepped up and ordered a $4 coffee. I kindly offered to pay and she seemed so grateful and even thanked me twice. Right after, she turned back to the cashier and said, "in that case, you can add two extra shots and a blueberry muffin."

I was so taken aback, I immediately told the cashier that I changed my mind and she could pay for her own order. I walked over, picked up my drink and left without another word.

AITA for reneging on my offer?

Edit: I want to thank everyone so much for responding. The only thing I'd like to clarify is that I felt bad about it afterwards. She could have intended to pay for the add-ons, it could have been a joke, etc. I didn't communicate with her very well because I fell into a trap of assuming the worst. If she looked at me expectantly to pay, I would clearly not be an a__hole. It was more my quick response of which I was unsure.

AITA for not stepping up and offering help to my mom after she laid her all her "eggs" in the wrong basket?

Throwaway. Title seems like I'm bitter, and a part of me is because of the fact that I told her so. I'm now 34F and middle child to a single asian mother.

I have an older brother who is a decade older, and for his whole life, my mom has babied him. I was expected to contribute to the household when I graduated college at 21F, but he didn't have to at 31 because he was still in school at community college. She gave him gas money, let him take her car, sleep in, not cook, have me do his laundry, etc.

I moved out over ten years ago, and have always kept her at a distant. Due to issues, I don't want my brother in my life or my family's life. I have made that clear with my mother that I will let her have a relationship with my kid, but she is not allowed near him vice versa.

She would get upset at ME for hanging up when she showed my kid to my brother on my facetime, when I find out that she took my kid to her house to play with my brother and post pictures all over FB. I told her no more, and that I asked nicely a few times and you ruined it by not respecting me. Constant years of this and disregard to me and my boundaries.

Onto the issue, my mom was living with him for a few years now. She still kept cooking for him and everything, and he was working somewhat and paying...

AITA for refusing to address someone by their chosen form of address?

I have been with a company for six years now. We are very informal with each other and have a fairly laid back culture. The company president is Dave, my boss is Lou, I tell employees who call me Mr. Smith (fake name) that my name is Dennis and that there is no need for formality.

We recently hired a new employee. The fake name I will give her for this post is Ginny Potter. In coming on board with us, Ginny signed all of her e-mails Ms. Potter.

When she answers the phone it's, "Good afternoon, this is Ms. Potter speaking."

When she calls me, it's, "Good Morning, Dennis, this is Ms. Potter."

And my response is always, "Good morning, Ginny, how can I help you?"

If I send an e-mail to Ginny, the response is signed by Ms. Potter. Emphasis hers.

She is three levels below me in a different line of report in terms of company hierarchy. So her supervisor's boss reports to someone on the same level as me, if that makes sense.

It got back to me that she thinks I'm disrespectful for not calling her Ms. Potter when I speak to her. When I spoke to others about it, most state that they just ignore it, don't use a name to address her, respond to her queries, and let her call herself what she wants. My boss thinks it's idiotic and that she's not at any level within the company to demand that.

When I told my wife, she replied that it's obviously a...

WIBTA for trying to remove my ex's custody as he isn't using it?

Ex and I were together for 3 years when I got pregnant. Ex essentially said that he wouldn't let an unplanned pregnancy disrupt his life, so he was out. He said I could decide what to do with the baby, which I kept.

When my son was 2, I bumped into my ex's mother. She saw my son, asked his age, and figured it out. I didn't know she was unaware of my son's existence, but we had always had a bad relationship, so I figured either ex had told her and she'd chosen to opt out due to her dislike for me, or she didn't know and this was my chance to keep my child away from her b__lsh*t. She got upset asking how I could keep her grandchild from her, and I responded that as Ex isn't involved, she has no connection to this child, and if she hadn't been such a b__ch to me while Ex and I were together, I'd probably be willing to sort something out, but I have no desire to facilitate a relationship with someone who I've only ever known to be needlessly cruel.

ETA: I've been asked to elaborate on the past with his parents, and basically they've said some anti-Semitic stuff to me (I'm Jewish, and I'm raising my son in my faith) and would frequently talk s__t about me both to my face and behind my back.

Couple months later I got a letter saying that ex wants a DNA test, and if the test is a match, he's going for 50/50 custody. I figured...

AITA for calling my wife a terrible mother due to the way she treats her body during her pregnancy?

throwaway

I(29m) and my wife(28f) have been together for ten years and have one child(3f) and expecting two more daughters in February. My wife and I are absolutely obsessed with fitness, but my wife takes it to a whole new level compared to me, especially during this pregnancy. Back in November, my wife discovered “fasting” and has been using it as her main weight loss technique, but realistically what she is doing is closer to an eating disorder then fasting since she misses the main point of water fasting which is DRINKING A LOT OF WATER, she at most drinks one cup of water each day during her fast. I have tried explaining to her that her eating habits are not healthy at all, especially during pregnancy but it never works. On Christmas, my wife barely ate anything, but still decided that she would go on a fifteen day fast. I told her she should see a doctor before she starts it, but she didn’t listen. She is currently on day 6 of her fast. This morning I had one more conversation with her about it and I blatantly told her that she is a terrible mother for treating her body this way and explained why what she is doing is extremely unhealthy. My wife of course didn’t take the terrible mother comment well and cried for a few minutes after hearing it. Today I called my sister asking for advice on how to handle this situation, after hearing about what I told my wife my sister called me cruel and said I should support my wife,...

AITA for giving my MIL a fake copy of my house key and "exposing" her on Christmas dinner?

I wanna preface this by saying that I f34 married my husband m37 a year ago. His mom is snoopy and annoying af. She can't help it that is just how she is as my dear in laws say.

My husband and I purchased a new house recently. My MIL kept pushing to get an emergency key, She promised that she only use it in an emergency but giving the fact that she had an emergency key to our old apartment and walked in on us being intimate twice (but my husband didn't think it was big deal) I just couldn't trust her so I just sent her a fake key (after she kept pushing) and she had a smug on her face after I hand delivered it to her.

Days gone by and on Christmas dinner MIL angerily "called me out" on the fact I gave her a fake copy of the house key. She shamed me for doing this in front of everyone but in my defensive I asked her how she found out and she said days ago when she came over at 4 while my husband and were out. I reminded her "didn't you promise you wouldn't use it unless there's an emergency? So You tried to get in when there was no emergency and you broke the promise you made to us!" She looked red in the face and the other family started staring and some even laughed at her for the face she made. She suddenly got up from her seat and rushed into the kitchen where she had a...

AITA For telling my half sister she doesn’t deserve my mom’s necklace?

Hello everyone, I'm coming on reddit to seek advice because I think I'm in the wrong. I 21F have 2 full siblings Michael, 23M and Damien 25M. We have a half sister Elsie 18F who is a result of an affair.

Our mother 50M is unfortunately terminally ill, the doctors have told us she doesn't have much time left. SHe called us all in to talk about her will and what we would each be getting. My mother was a banker and amassed quite the portfolio.

Shortly after Elise was born, her mother wasn't very active in her life, leaving her to move in with us and live with us. I could always tell mom held some sort of resentment to her, my mom wasn't strong enough to leave after the affair and she regrets it everyday. Mom raised Elsie like her own for so long, but all Elsie could do was be snarky towards her and always say 'but you're not my real mom' of course she'd only say that when mom was trying to discipline her.

But as soon as she needed something expensive she'd be as sweet as sugar towards mom. I avoided elsie growing up because I always felt like she ruined our picture perfect family. Back to the day this happened, mom was reading out her will on her bed, my mother owns a beautiful emerald necklace; a family heirloom.

She looks directly at Elsie and tells her she can keep it. I started crying immediately, it doesn't even make sense she's not entirely part of our family, her...

AITA for refusing to give my late mother's jewellery to the girl that I gave birth to?

So, I was probably a month over eighteen when I got pregnant. My boyfriend was very controlling, always yelled, screamed and after were married it got even worse. I stayed with him for eight years and I ended up falling in love with my current husband Arthur during that time. I know we were wrong to have an affair and I deserve hate for that. I mean, it cost me my daughter Sophia (now 21).

I should have been stronger and just left my ex cause I doubt he even needed to brainwash her to make her hate me. I tried to be there, I tried to fight for shared custody but Sophia wanted nothing to do with me. After my ex got remarried, Sophia got a great stepmother who she asked to legally adopt her when she turned fifteen. I didn't want it to happen and wanted to fight it but if me being her mom hurt her so much she wanted a new one, I let it because it was my fault and I'd already lost her long ago.

After she legally stopped being my daughter, I reconnected with Arthur, we got married, had a daughter and I'm pregnant with our boy right now. I'd still see Sophia since she'd go to my mom's house a lot cause that was still her grandma even if I'm not her mom. My mom, however, died two weeks ago and it's caused a lot of chaos in everybody's lives. Now, we have that weird tradition where the eldest daughter gets a collection of special necklaces. I was...

AITA for telling a girl her pictures on hinge were misleading after we met?

I talked to this girl from hinge who looked pretty in her pictures and we hit it off almost immediately. She sent a few snapchats and I could tell she was slightly chubbier than her pictures but she didn’t look too far off. After a few days of talking we met up for drinks at a restaurant. As soon as I saw her I immediately felt disappointed as she looked NOTHING like her pictures which i later found out were from 3 years ago. I did my best to have fun at the date regardless of the fact that I wasn’t physically attracted to her whatsoever. The date went pretty well but the next day I sent her a text saying it wasn’t going to work out and that her pictures were misleading. I apologized and wished her good luck.

My friends think I’m an a__hole for the “misleading” part since she likely already knows she’s much bigger than she was in her pictures. I felt sort of catfished and while I wouldn’t call her an a__hole, I think what she’s doing is wrong.

EDIT: For those asking or commenting on the weight gain and difference between pictures/reality: If i had to guess id say she was 130-140 in her pictures and in person about 200-220. That’s only a guess and I could be way off but regardless, she looked like a completely different person and did not even remotely resemble who i thought i was talking to. That’s why I used the term “catfish” as it might as well have been a different person.
