AITA for not letting new neighbours put scaffolding on my drive for 2 weeks?

Hi, a couple have recently bought the house next door to us and are having improvements done to it. The house had an extension built onto their drive, meaning they now don't have a drive and have no access to their back garden. However, there is a gate that goes into my drive but I have blocked off as they assume that they have access and have seen multiple people on my drive without asking me first.

Last week, I saw a builder knocking at my door on the doorbell camera but I was at work. He came round at 7:40 the next morning and said that they'd need to put scaffolding on my drive to have improvements done to the roof next door. I said no and he asked why.

Firstly, it's my drive, secondly, the new neighbours should've come round and asked rather than telling the builder to do it. He said that the man moving in had been up multiple times and tried knocking. This was a lie as I work from home 90% of time and can see through the doorbell camera.

The couple came round the following evening and asked about it, this was the first interaction I'd had with them. However, a week prior, my partner's mum had parked outside their house to pick her and our 8 month old daughter up. I found that a note had been put onto her windscreen saying please don't block my drive.

She wasn't blocking the drive, was there about 5 minutes, and was on a raised curb which is totally...

[UPDATE] My (32F) husband (33M) is maybe cheating with one of his students (18F), what do I do?

My post blew up and there were many updateme comments so I wanna to update. I read every single comment but there was too much to reply to.

To clarify some things:
- No, I didn’t have pictures or screenshots of the snapchats or onlyfans. I was so upset I didn’t even think about it until afterwards and I thought there would be another chance to get them. I realized I fu**ed up.
- For some of my early comments, my brain was still reeling. I am 100% leaving my husband, to make it clear. It took me some time to come to terms with what was actually happening and the fact that I was in denial but reddit helped me get there, so thanks.

The comments were about 50/50 split between talking to a lawyer or my husband first. The reality is that I didn’t think I had anywhere else to go at the time and I was so emotional last night and felt like I needed to know. I wanted to confront him and rip off the bandaid. He called me while I was still at work and I ended up telling him we needed to talk. He seemed thrown off by this and cancelled plans to stay in. I didn’t get home for almost 3 hours after that, crying and deciding wtf to do. Ultimately I went home. If you’re ever in the same position, don’t do what I did.

I wanted to follow the advice of many comments by basically saying “i know about her”, but I really wanted to get...

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...

AITA because I apparently shamed someone for having braces?

I (24f) am blessed with perfect teeth. I never had braces or anything else done to them, I just got lucky.

So today my boyfriend's mum invited us out for tea with some other people. There was a young couple around my age. The girl (A) had braces. I didn't think much of it. But then she asked me how long I've had my braces for. I told her I never had braces. She got quite offended and said there's no need to be ashamed of it and I shouldn't lie. I said I'm not lying I just got lucky with my teeth. She just wouldn't let it be and I got quite pi**ed off but let it slide.

Then later on someone else started talking about As braces to her and I overheard her saying something like: yeah unfortunately a lot of people are ashamed and perpetuate the the idea that braces are ugly" while gesturing towards me. At this point I had enough. I told her that I'm sorry that she thinks the only way for people to have good teeth is braces and that she is clearly insecure about having them herself but to please find someone else to take it out on. It ended it with "some people just have good teeth naturally, you know". After this she started crying and everyone told me I shouldn't shame her for having braces.

I do feel bad about the last thing I said but I wish she had just let it be. It's just teeth ffs.

AITA for refusing to hang out with my boyfriend’s family after finding out what they really think of me?

Im 25f, my boyfriend is 26, we've been together for just over a year and live together. Things are usually pretty good with us, but his family is like next-level rich, with vacation homes and a fancy estate and all that. I come from a totally different world, like my parents are working class, I went to public school, worked through college.

Never thought it was a big deal until I started hanging out with his family. Theyre nice enough to my face, but I always feel kinda out of place. There are these little comments, like his mom asking if I had ever been out of the country before him, or his aunt wondering if their lifestyle overwhelms me.

Recently I found out that his mom was talking to relatives about how I'm not the kind of girl they imagined for him. She thinks I'm after comfort or something and is watching me like a hawk in case I'm gonna push to settle down too fast. I was really hurt.

I never asked for anything from him or his family. Sure I live at his place, but I cover my own stuff, and Im not dropping hints about marriage or their money. I told my boyfriend, and he said his mom is always on guard because she doesnt trust peoples intentions with him.

He also said he's trying to keep things chill with his family because he's scared of getting disowned, like his parents control all the money. Plus, he doesnt trust his siblings, who he thinks would totally use me skipping family...

AITA for not telling my partner something his 14yr old daughter told me in confidence?

My (40yr - Male) partner and myself (39yr - female) have been together for almost 5yrs, and have been living together with his daughters (14 - female let's call her Laura & 11 - female let's call her Ali) and my daughter (6 - female) for about 2 years now.

As the "stepmother" of the 2 girls, things haven't always been easy, but we are still learning every day and working together. My partner knows that I give the girls their space, but rules do apply in our household, which sometimas can cause some friction, mainly between eldest and myself.

Laura has, like so many girls her age, started to show an interest in boys. She has communicated to us that she likes a certain boy (14M - let's call him Rob).
She is pretty smitten en loves telling us about him. My partner however isn't a fan of this young boy. My partner knows Rob's dad and his experiences with him weren't so nice. Because of this, he stated that Rob probably isn't a great match for her and she shouldn't be wasting her time with him. (she is 14 and this is clearly puppy love..) Laura was pretty upset with her dad's statement but she kind of let it go.

Now to the real issue..

Up to last weekend, Laura has never really confided in me about specific things that are important to her. She sometimes has, but that would have been things that she told her dad as well..
Last weekend however Laura and myself went to and event together, just...

AITA For yelling at my fiancèe after she hid my glasses?

Me M31 and my fiancee F26 have been together for 2.5 years. Engaged for 4 months. We currently live together in an apartment an hour away from the hospital where my dad is staying. He has Lung Cancer, his condition hasn't been improving and I been visiting him and my family whenever I can to see if they need anything from me.

My fiancee's cousin's wedding was yesterday. I don't like attending weddings and large ocassions especially now that my dad is struggling so I'm not really in the mood. But I decided to go anyway since my fiancee insisted. But I got a call from my mom wanting my help at the hospital. My fiancee heard me while I was talking on the phone and threw a fit when I told her that I can't go with her to the wedding because my mom needed me. She argued with me but I told her to have some empathy and realize how much pressure she was putting me under.

I noticed my glasses were missing and without them it was impossible for me to drive. I looked everywhere and I couldn't find them. Although I was certain I left them on the coffee table.

I spent nearly an hour looking and I was getting so frustrated. I didn't have a choice but call my mom back and explain the issue I was dealing and apologize for not coming. Thankfully she said she'd call my sister and the call ended.

In exactly 10 minutes after the call ended. My fiancee walked out the bedroom wearing her...

AITA for not being sympathetic towards my sister’s miscarriage?

My (33F) sister (24F) fell pregnant accidentally with her fiancé’s baby. Obviously though the baby wasn’t planned they are getting married so were delighted with the news. They told the family immediately without waiting for the first scan, and unfortunately lost the baby at about 8 weeks.

As background, my husband and I have been trying for a baby for almost 8 years. We’ve had 4 miscarriages, one very late term, and the whole thing has been a devastating journey for us both.

The most recent miscarriage was in early 2021. We told the family and it was emotional and horrible. My sister genuinely said to me that ‘maybe you should stop sharing this news, it’s been 4 times and it’s really hard on the family to hear’ and that our mum is apparently devastated every time because she wants to be a grandmother and this is taking its toll on her. I found my sisters comments unforgivable and I didn’t speak to her for about 6 months.

And then this month she shares the news of her own. And I was totally unsympathetic. I didn’t say anything at first and when my mum prompted me to reach out to her, I sent her literally ‘Sorry for your loss.’ on whatsapp. She said ‘is that really all you can say???’ And I didn’t reply.

She got my mum to call me and apparently I’m heartless and should empathise with her more considering what I went through. I think she’s burnt that bridge. AITA?

Edit: should probably add that the conversation between my sister...

AITA for asking my MIL to stop treating me like just a caregiver to my non-biological kids?

Me (34M) and my husband (47M) have two children (a girl and a boy, both 5 years old) via surrogacy, my husband was the s***m donor. If you haven't noticed, we are a gay couple. My MIL wasn't never my biggest fan, I don't know the reasons but I can only assume that it has something to do with my decisions and my lifestyle, there was a time where she thought that I was taking advantage of her son and his money.

My husband is older than me, for that reason she assumed that I was taking advantage of him or trying to. Obviously this was never true and I think I have proved myself the last 7 years. My MIL is a fan of children, she basically harasses her kids to have a baby if they're not parents, and if they already have babies she demands more, my husband wasn't the exception even if he's gay.

We always wanted to have children because both of us are naturally family oriented men, and we're planning to have more. I love my family and I love my husband but MIL makes me feel inadequate. She makes constant remarks about how my children are not biologically mine, at first I didn't care because she's right but I'm getting very annoyed lately.

We were celebrating our kids birthday, a MIL's friend (I don't know who invited her) told me that my babies are beautiful (which I'm proud of) and she told me that my son acts exactly like me and I laughed because it's true, and MIL told...

AITA for leaving my niece an inheritance but not my nephew?

Throwaway because my BIL is on Reddit. I was diagnosed with a terminal illness a few months ago. It’s not a matter of if, but when, and the best estimate is that I have in the neighborhood of 1-2 years. I’m dealing with it. I’ve had a good life and no regrets. Part of dealing with it is getting my affairs in order before I leave the stage.

My sister has two children (13f & 5m). The 13 yo is from her previous relationship, the 5 yo from her current husband. My niece’s father skipped out on them and my sister had a rough time of it, so I helped them out early on. Her husband is well off so they’re set now, but it’s become very obvious to me over the years that he wishes my niece weren’t in their lives. They don’t exactly n__lect her, but she’s left out of a lot and it’s very obvious even to our parents that my nephew is heavily favored. I’ve talked to my sister about it at various points, but she’s in denial and I don’t think would ever have the courage to stand up to her husband. I’ve tried to make it up to my niece in quiet ways, but I know it still hurts and I worry about her.

I made some very fortunate business moves early on and I’m now sitting on a large chunk of change and a retirement fund that I will not live to use. My sister has made no plans for my niece’s college or anything else, but the girl...
