Tale Tangle Core

AITA for not showing up to my daughter’s birth because my fiance lied?

My fiancé (29) gave birth yesterday, went into labor the day before at around 11:30 pm.

She confessed to me (21M) about two months ago that she lied about the baby being a boy, that it was actually a girl. Since then, I’ve hated her on and off for that lie, especially because she accused the women in my family of being treated badly.

When she went into labor, I was on a trip and had a meeting with an investor early the next morning to show them the prototype my team and I have.

My MIL told me to cancel it, but I was so angry that she got my hopes up for a boy and straight up lied about the s__ for a good month that I said I wasn’t giving up a possible investment when my fiancé and I are on bad terms.

Since then, I’ve gotten mean texts from my fiancé. My fiancé works at a tech company and she said the stress of our fights has made her go part time way before she had maternity leave. She said I ruined my family, especially since I was investing my time into a startup app that was still in iteration, ie not making money at the moment.

AITA?

AITA for not immediately telling my neighbors how thin the walls are in our building?

Potentially NSFW, putting the flair just in case. I'm 29F, neighbors are in their 40s.

I've lived in my current apartment for 5 years. It's basically a converted house--I have the whole second floor and the other apartment is the whole first floor. This October, I got new neighbors downstairs. We've gotten along great so far (before this at least) and will sometimes have dinners or cookouts together.

The nature of the building means that it's pretty easy to hear noise from the downstairs apartment (think of it on the same level as if you were in a regular house and what you're able to hear from one floor above). Occasionally, I will be able to hear my neighbors when they are intimate. This isn't because they're being ridiculously loud or anything, just because the walls are thin. It's never a huge deal--I either leave my bedroom and go to the living room where I can't hear them, or put in headphones and that completely cancels out any noise. I figure we're all adults here, and it's not like they're being intentionally loud--it's not screaming noises, just movement noises and there's nothing to be done about that.

I'm in a LDR and my partner was visiting for the first time since these neighbors moved in this...

AITA for yelling at a grocery store worker because she was stereotyping my daughter?

Using a throwaway account.

I (47F) have a teenage daughter (16f). Her dad died of cancer when she was a baby, and since then I have remarried to my current husband (48m). My husband is an essential worker so he is still going to work all day, every day.

My daughter is severely disabled and in her case, even though she is 16 she cannot stay home alone, so whenever I have to go out of the house to do something essential, she comes with me. We take a lot of precautions (bring along hand sanitizer and masks, stay away from other people, etc.).

On Friday I had to buy a few things from the grocery store, so my daughter came with me. Once we are there and shopping, someone who worked there came up to me and asked me why did I bring my daughter along. I gently explained about my daughter and then the grocery store worker said something along these lines "your daughter looks pretty old, she should learn to stay home alone. Her disabilities are not an excuse for that."

Here is the part where I might have been TA. I completely lost it, I yelled about how it was rude to stereotype people, it was rude to dismiss someone's disabilities...

AITA for telling my stepfather I hope some guy says the same to his kid one day?

Me (17m), my mom and my stepfather have been going to family therapy (with like 9 different therapists) for the past 5 years. We're going because my stepfather and I fight a lot. He insists he's my dad because he's been raising me with mom since I was 8 and I insist he will never be my father and my dad dying didn't open up the spot to someone else and even if I was open to a new dad it would never be my stepfather because he feels entitled to it.

My mom's pregnant with their first kid right now so we have a lot of stuff going on and it took years of help for them to have a baby together. So my mom has pushed for us to make the most of therapy before it's too late because she wants us to be a family. In a therapy session last week my stepfather told me he's sick of me saying he's not my dad, of correcting him when he calls me his son, correcting mom when she asks me to get my dad when she means him and doing the most to make sure everyone in my life knows I don't like him and don't think he's

worthy of being my dad. He said...

AITA for forcing my stepdaughter to pay me back after she ruined my house?

AN UPDATE HAS BEEN POSTED I (43F) and my husband (47M) have been married for 4 years now. We both have children from our previous marriages, (12M) and (10M) and “O” (18F). My husband and I dated for 3 years prior to getting married but moved in all together 2 years ago. O lives with us full time and it had a bit of a rocky start with mine and O’s relationship but we managed to push through it. I told O from day one that I wasn’t her mom but if there was anything she wants to talk about or need, she can come to me. After a few months, we became quite close and she talked to me about anything she was too embarrassed to talk about with her dad. Recently, O has been trying to make friends at College since she just started in the spring. On campus residence is very expensive for the college and its close to our house so O decided to stay at home. That’s not a problem, the problem is that O keeps bringing her friends over to hangout but living it a mess. Normally it’s not a major deal (I have OCD so sometimes there is issues depending on the situation though) because she picks up after herself but I...

Update: AITA for putting my foot down and charging rent when my stepdad started trying to tell me what to do in my own house?

So, I talked to a lawyer friend shortly after making that post. Apparently, my state does indeed have laws giving tenancy after staying for a bit. They are legal tenants as it stands unfortunately. So I decided on a month to month agreement where stepdad pays $400 a month. On top of that, I felt a few punitive measures were fair at least temporarily.
I placed an 11:30 pm curfew on him for anything not work related. I also disallowed him from staying in the common area anytime i have anyone over period, I also placed the majority of the chores in the house as his responsibility as well, For instance, for as long as he stays, he is responsible for cleaning the place entirely Absolutely every room in the house no exceptions.
Living room, any bedrooms, bathrooms including shower, toilets and sinks, dishes you get the picture. Of course, I can't force him to do anything but he won't stay in my house for long if he doesn't. I know it's a bit mean for sure but I felt there had to be some punishment for his actions.
Mainly, I'd say that any further comments, nonpayment of rent, or violating his punitive rules or chore requirements would result in me not renewing the month to month lease and...

AITA for telling my stepmom she ruined family vacations for me as a kid?

I (26F) recently visited my dad & stepmom in their new home. They moved a lot closer to the beach and recently bought a rental property there. My stepmom mentions that I should join them on a beach trip sometime, because they miss the trips with my younger sisters (22F) and I. I told her no way would I ever be joining them on one again, because she made me wear a rash guard and freaking swim shorts because I started puberty. She beforehand made up a story about me “flashing the boys” while I was swimming so before buying me the swimwear, announced to everyone else except me that I’d be wearing swim shorts & a rash guard. Sisters got to wear whatever they wanted & there was zero mention of them having to wear that stuff when they started growing p***c hair & b***s. Another time, we went on a day cruise and she announced to the whole boat she could see my p***c hair. I was so embarrassed I was crying and she told me to knock it off because “your dad and I paid a lot of money for this excursion, so you’re not going to ruin it for us!” She made me sit in the back with a towel on while sisters and the...

Dad Fixes Daughter’s Unsafe Car, But Her Boyfriend Accuses Him Of 'Stepping On Toes'

My daughter (21F) and I have always been pretty close. She moved in with her boyfriend a couple months ago. It was a little tough seeing her move out but I know she’s an adult and building her own life.

She drives an old Corolla with a lot of miles on it. A couple weeks ago she mentioned the steering wheel had started shaking when she got up to highway speeds and sometimes the front end would shudder when she braked. She told me her boyfriend said he would take care of it.

Another week went by and it still hadn’t been looked at. Last weekend she came by my place and said it was getting worse and it was starting to make her nervous to drive.

So I took it for a quick drive and sure enough the wheel was shaking pretty good around 60 mph and it shuddered when I hit the brakes. I pulled the front wheels off in the driveway and it was pretty obvious the front brake rotors were warped and the brake pads were worn unevenly.

I ran to the parts store, grabbed new rotors and pads, and swapped them out that afternoon. Took a couple hours and after that the car drove smooth again.

My daughter was...

UPDATE 3: WIBTA to divorce my wife after she said she wanted to send our son to a conversion camp?

Hi everyone, it's been a while. If you don't remember me, I'm the dad who posted about his wife wanting to send our son to a conversion camp, which escalated to her attacking us/sending us to the hospital. It's been a while since the last update, and I'm sorry to have kept all of you hanging like this.

I was honestly too focused on protecting my son to think about it. lol. So now...

onto the update. I'll try to make it fast! I'm exhausted, so I apologize if I don't make a lot of sense.

First of all, the divorce. The divorce isn't finalized yet, as my legal team focused on securing custody and protective orders first. Now that's settled, the divorce proceedings will be moving forward.

About the custody, she gave up all her parental rights to both Noah and my daughter, which means I have full custody of both. Also, Noah and I thankfully got a restraining order against her. However, For some reason, the judge decided my daughter didn't need one since her mother hadn't physically attacked her???

My lawyer was fuming. As if her actions weren't self-explanatory. I don't know what that judge was on, but I sure as hell want it.

About the sentencing. As I said,...

Wife (40/F) Did Secret Bo***ir Photo Session a while Back But Haven't Seen Pics (M/42) - Should I Address?

Okay Reddit, I have a conundrum....

Wife (40/F) and I (42/M) have a good relationship. 2 kids, so obv intimacy has been downhill the past few years. A few months back, my young son was on his iPad hanging out with me while I watched TV.

"Dad, is this mommy?"

Her iCloud is linked to his iPad. What was on the screen was a photo she had taken of her computer screen, which showed proofs of a professional bo***ir photo shoot. This was 3 months ago. We had a significant anniversary coming up, so I thought she took them for that. Anniversary passed, and nothing. Fathers' Day was yesterday, and nothing. My birthday is not till the end of the year.

Also of note, we got a UPS delivery 3 weeks ago when I was home and received the package. That morning, my wife told me she was getting a package and to not open it (we share an amazon account so often open other's amazon packages as nearly always it's for the kids or random products around the house).

I am 99% sure she's not actively cheating on me (she has a set schedule then picks kids up after school, so physical cheating I'm not even sure when that would happen). I do...

AITA for refusing to pay for my sister's wedding dress after she made fun of my body?

So, I (21F) have always had a bit of a rocky relationship with my older sister (26F). We’re pretty different in a lot of ways—she’s always been super into fashion and makeup, while I’m more laid-back and focus on school and work. Despite our differences, I thought we were at least civil, until recently.

My sister is getting married next year, and she’s been really excited about finding the perfect wedding dress. Since she’s trying to save money for other wedding costs, she asked if I’d help pay for her dress as a “sisterly gesture.” I recently got a decent-paying job and was willing to help her out, even though I thought it was a weird request.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago. We were at a family gathering, and I was wearing this dress I felt good in, but I’m not a size 2. Out of nowhere, my sister made a snarky comment in front of everyone about how “brave” I was for wearing something so “tight.” I was embarrassed, but I didn’t want to make a scene, so I let it slide.

Later that night, she made another comment, this time in private, about how she’d never wear something like that unless she lost weight. I got upset and told her that what...

AITA For how I responded to my mom when she said I wasn't invited to her Wedding?

I (15F) am my mother's (35F) only daughter she has from her previous marriage. She has three children the rest being (18, 16) boys, this is important to know.

Last week my mom was talking with one of her friends about the color she wanted the bridesmaids dresses to be. My mom had been planning this wedding with her new boyfriend for the past two months or so, they have been engaged for about one year. The wedding is in December and on the day before my birthday, me and my mom have been planning a party for me around the same time she was for the wedding. She insisted it was alright and that her boyfriend and her would go on their honeymoon the next day.

While she was talking I asked her when we were going to look for my dress since she had asked me to be the flower girl. I could see the disappointed look on her face when I asked her which confused me. She responded only a few minutes later and said "We'll talk about it later." A few hours later my mom came to me. I thought she was going to talk about the dress situation but instead she sat me down and explained how her new boyfriend thought it'd...
