AITAH for not providing for my mom after she withdrew her support to me during college?

Hello, this happened in the past. When I was 19, was in college and had a boyfriend (current partner), we started my s__ual life and I accidentally forgot the morning after pill in my backpack. The next morning my mom was sneaking in to my backpack and found the box and got absolutely mad at me because she is a Catholic that wanted me to be a virgin before marriage. Since then she stopped supporting my career (I was on the first year) and I had to drop off to get a job and move away. I gradually did get a job, finished an online career and found a decent job with my own means. We spent years without talking to each other until she recently reached out to me because she needed money because she got in debt with a loan and I refused to help her out. Am I correct for refusing to connect with her and borrow her money?

AITA For Going Off On My Father’s New Family After They Kept Harassing Me Online?

My "dad" walked out on me and my mom when I (19M) was a baby. He didn't pay child support, didn't ever see me, didn't show up at court at any point, and he never reached out to me. I always had questions about him but my mom was always way too nice about it until I turned 18 and she laid it all out for me. She even showed me the file she had for court that showed all the times he didn't show, how much money he owed, the fact she chased after child support for years but he always found a way to avoid paying. For six years she tried to chase him through court until she gave up the fight and let the debt compile because it was costing her money and was taking from her ability to support us.

He was the truest definition of a deadbeat. And I have nothing good to say and no interest in establishing a relationship of any kind.

In September I got a friend request from this woman on Facebook. We had no friends in common so I ignored it. Then I rejected it. She sent it again and so I accepted because I found it weird. A day later a request came from a girl and I rejected that but just like the other account she sent it again. I saw they were friends so I left it ignored. Then a DM came from the account I had accepted the request from.

Turns out this was my deadbeat father's wife and oldest daughter....

AITA for telling my neighbor that I don’t care what he has to say and to just leave me alone

I’m 17f and recently I was waiting outside my apartment because my mom was coming to pick me up to go to the store. There’s a guy who lives right below me who had his pickup truck in the driveway and I was standing on the sidewalk about 15-20ft away not even paying attention to him when all of a sudden he started yelling at me to “get the f__k away from my truck” and threatened to call the cops on me. My mom came a few minutes later and she scolded him and he also threatened to call the cops on her because I was “stalking” his truck.

The next day I’m walking to work and as I leave the building I see him standing outside his door and he apologized saying he had a really bad headache that day and wasn’t trying to be an a__hole. The next day(yesterday) the same thing happened but instead of a headache he claimed it was his little brothers death that caused him to be upset and he apologized again and offered me a cigarette which I declined and basically told him that whatever he’s saying I didn’t really care and that I’d rather we just pretend the other didn’t exist. He wasn’t too happy about that and idk if I’m TA

AITA for paying my sister “too much” to babysit?

This happened a couple years ago, but something made me think of it the other day, and I was wondering if maybe I was a bit of an AH.

My girlfriend and I have 2 boys (5y and 18mo at the time of this story) and I would usually have my younger sister (14 or 15 at the time) babysit for us. She was good with the kids and she couldn’t have a job yet, so it gave her some spending money.

We wanted to go to one of those places where you are instructed how to paint something and you can drink and snack. It took about 3-3.5 hours from when we left until when we got back home. Normally, my sister would babysit for about 3 hours and I’d toss her a $20 and she was happy. This time however, the new Pokémon games sun and moon (or maybe ultra sun and moon) had just come out, and I knew she wanted Pokémon Sun. Instead of the $20, I bought her the game (like $40) and gave her $10 as well. Mostly because I was just wanting to be nice, but also because this time she actually had to put my youngest to bed, which wasn’t an easy feat at that age.

Later that night I got a call from my dad telling me that I shouldn’t have given her as much as I did. Apparently after she got home, she was told she would need to babysit her cousins for about 8 hours, and that their parents were going to pay her...

AITA for asking a woman to be quiet in the silent area of the library and ruining her presentation?

I really need a reality check here because I'm freaking out and feeling really guilty; I don't know if I'm just exhausted and grumpy or I actually was horrible for this. I'm a STEM college student and I get most of my work done (when in-between classes) in the library. I'm AuDHD, and get irritated at small noises far more than most people on a good day, but I have only gotten 5 hrs sleep and I'm feeling like s__t today (unable to sleep from ptsd/anxiety, I'm responsible with time)

I ALWAYS work in the silent area of my uni's library since I'm easily distracted/irritated by noise. This is a blocked off area with multiple "No Talking," and "Silent Area" signs around, with private desks. There are other parts of the library with large areas for group work, and another area for independent work that's typically near-silent but doesn't have rules about noise. I go there when I've had virtual meetings, and I've seen others do the same.

A woman sat a few spots away from me, and started recording a video on a presentation, I presume, for a final. She was talking louder than a general conversational tone, and it was getting under my skin to the point I couldn't concentrate on my lab. I noticed a couple of people letting out frustrated sighs and checked with another girl if it was bothering her too, since I know I'm ultra-sensitive to noise so I didn't want to be the a__hole who try's to micromanage people's lives and police rules that are socially acceptable to break/ignore...

AITA for Buying Myself a Necklace My Jeweler Husband Refused to Gift?

My spouse and I are both jewelers. You’d think this would made gift giving easy. Wrong.

For the past 5 or 6 months I’ve been asking my spouse for a very specific necklace for my bday and the holidays. Showed him photos. Gave him the designer’s contact info. Every time he’d ask, “What do you want for your bday?” I’d say, “that one necklace”.

Well, the day is almost here. Husband has zero plans made for anything and as for the necklace? He informed me he doesn’t feel it makes an “appropriate 50th bday” gift.

What!? We are literally jewelers. We make a living selling jewelry to be given as gifts. This is literally what we have done for decades. So, it’s appropriate for anyone but just not me?

That totally bizarre and bewildering statement aside, I got the necklace for myself after spouse confirmed he didn’t buy it and didn’t plan to. Now he’s miffed I got it it at all. He sneered when I told him I got it via trade (remember we’re both jewelers) and he more or less scoffed. No congrats. No “happy you finally got it”. Just a sneer and an eye roll. And a left handed comment like, “I don’t even know why you like that necklace so much. I don’t get it.” (It’s the designer’s number one seller btw)

So, AITA for getting myself the gift I really wanted? He wasn’t going to do it. He went so far as to say it was “inappropriate” as a gift. It’s not. It’s just a gold link chain....

AITA for walking out of a house after the host told me to "feel free to leave" because she "doesn't like people in her house"?

This just happened like an hour ago.

Backstory: dating this guy and his best friend was having a small party, if you can call it that. There were 10 people there at most. I wasn't invited but boyfriend (for lack of a better term) told me it would be okay if I came. Usually, I wouldn't go somewhere without an invite, but since this is his best friend's house, I assumed the he knew the situation better than me.

I show up, go inside, meet the best friend, and she didn't know I was coming. Boyfriend says, "hey this who I told you about. I wanted you guys to meet!". The best friend turns to me with a straight face and says, "yeah, it's alright I guess, but feel free to leave because I don't really like people in my house".

So I left. I turned around and walked out without saying another word. Now, to be completely fair, my boyfriend was SHOCKED. He came after me and said that he had no idea that she would react that way but she was just having a bad night and that we should go back in and everything will be okay.

Obviously, I left. He didn't come with me. But now he is texting me and saying that while she was a bit rude, I was even more rude for just walking out in front of everyone and that it made for a weird vibe with all of his other friends who were there.

So AITA? Did I overreact?

Edit: I should mention....

Exhausted Mom Battles Half-Hearted Help, Domestic Duties in Question.

I (37f) got the flu two weeks ago. I got it pretty bad. I had GI issues in top of the usual cold symptoms. I was in bed for four days with a fever ranging from 103-106 (Fahrenheit), plus chills, body aches and vomiting. It was awful. My husband, to his credit, did take care of me. He took a day off of work when he needed to, took care of the kids (14, 6, 4 and 1) solo and made sure I was staying hydrated, asked if I needed anything, etc…

However, he’s not me and there are things that didn’t get done. I’m a SAHM and manage the lion’s share of household chores. He works long hours and you can’t do chores if you’re not home. When he IS home, he does spilt things with me mostly fairly. He’s NOT used to having the kids by himself for days on end though. Laundry piled up, the kids made epic messes, the dog p**p didn’t get picked up in the backyard and a bunch of other random tasks didn’t get done. He also gave the kids stickers, which they stuck to our hardwood floors, windows and furniture. I have to scrape them all off one by one.

I’m feeling better now but not 100%. I’m starting to dig us out of the hole we fell into. Today, my husband told me that he was going to “take a few days off to recharge.”

I told him we could discuss this next week but right now I really needed his help with the kids so...

AITA for not sharing my full cookie recipe with my family, particularly my sister?

I (21F) LOVE to bake. I've been creating my own recipes since I was 11 and have created a few really great ones.

When I was about 16, I created a chocolate chip cookie recipe that has a pretty standard base. This basic recipe is terrific and my family has access to it.

What sets my batches of cookies apart from theirs are 3 very specific secret ingredients that I don't want to share. These ingredients make my cookies "almost crack-level addictive", according to the people who regularly pay me to make cookies for them. My recipe has won a few baking competitions and I am extremely proud of it.

My family, on the other hand, aren't great bakers. My father is, but doesn't do it often. As I stated previously, they have access to and use my basic recipe, minus my special ingredients. Everything else on the recipe is exactly the same, and tastes amazing, just not exactly like mine.

My family, in light of me finally moving into an campus apartment, have been insistent on me giving them the full recipe. I don't want to for a couple of reasons.

The first being that my sister, who is the one who makes the other recipe the most, has a really bad habit of claiming ideas that aren't hers. She's passed a few of my other original recipes, that I've taught her to make, off as her own recipes and will brag about how long it took her to create the recipe, then give it away.

The second is that I...

When Boundaries Blur: AITA for Seizing My Moment in an Open Relationship?

Hi reddit so my girlfriend[24F] and I[23M] have been going through a very rough time lately and it all boiled over in the past few days.

We have been together for 3 years things were going well for the most part we got along and would rarely fight. Even when we did we would often both cool down and talk it out not long after. However about 2 weeks ago my girlfriend approached me and asked if I wanted to open our relationship. I was immediately shocked and I almost thought she was joking at first. She said that she really loves me and wants to be with me but before we get more serious she wants to get more experience (she was my first everything and she has been with 2 other guys). I shot down the idea and told her I wasn't comfortable with it. She kept badgering me about it but eventually relented when she realized I wasn't budging and that seemed like the end of it. However a few days later she came to me again and asked me more aggressively about it and was insinuating that we might have to take a break if we can't just try opening our relationship for a few months. Considering it was basically we take a break or I just give her this. I relented and said we could open up the relationship.

2 days later (last Friday) I got home from work and saw she was dressed up and I asked what for. She said that she was going out to the bar with...
