AITA for not giving my cat for adoption because my GF has a p**bia?

My GF of two years is scared of cats, and I mean REALLY scared of cats. I have had this cat for 7 years. At first when she came to my place I had to take the cat outside, close all windows or doors and make sure my cat didn't sneak up to play with me or something like that.

Long story short, she couldn't take it anymore and told me that she feels really uncomfortable knowing that there is a cat lurking around and that she wouldn't come to my place again if I didnt get rid of my cat. We tried therapy but it looks like the therapy is for me to cope with the loss of my pet., I don't want to give my cat away so last saturday we talked about this and broke up ..Now I feel like s__t for ruining my relationship. AITA?

Kitty not knowing what is going on :( EDIT1: HOLLY CRAP! I didn't expect this amount of response! Thank you everyone for taking the time and leave your comment.

It is hard to understand that things and plans sometimes doesn't work or go the way we want and that is fine, that is life. It is harder when feelings are involved.

AITA for refusing to go to my sisters wedding unless I get a plus 1?

Alright Reddit. Need a judgement here. So my (26M) sister Jane (28F) is getting married this winter. I’ve been invited as a solo guest. No plus one. So I called my sister and asked if it was correct. Because every other person I talked to had a plus one, including other single people. And she said it was because of her friend Zoe (27F).

So backstory time I guess. Me and my sister aren’t the closest. But recently have been getting along better. About a year ago I was back home for my sisters engagement party. I noticed her friend Zoe and immediately was into her. I struck up a conversation and she seemed interested. So I asked my sister what the situation is. And she told me to stay away as I wasn’t her type. I asked what she meant and she told me to go ahead and see for myself. Ended up getting Zoe’s number and we texted for a a few weeks. Went out on two dates and that was pretty much it. She was very religious. She was a virgin and said she didn’t drink. She was kinda boring to be honest. Just wanted to just find a husband and have kids. She also wanted to be a STAM, which is something I don’t want. We just had very different lifestyles and goals. I kinda let it fizzle after the second one. The last message however I sent was stupid and I admit it. I got really drunk one night and hit her up at like 2am asking if she wanted to come...

AITA for saying I'm white?

I'm from a South American country, born and raised. Recently, I got a job in the USA. Well, the problem starts when 2 people from my office find out where I'm from.

Their grandparents were from my country, but they and their parents were born in the USA, have never been to South America and don't even know the official language. They were super exicted for us to bond over or race and culture. But the thing is: I'm white.

I explained that actually, in South America, there white people, black people, indigenous etc, we don't all simply identify as latinos, thats not race, thats nationality. I've always identified as white, claiming I have the same struggles as racialized people in my country would be a cruel lie. I also told them that, in general, people in South America would not see them as latinos, they would see them as gringos with south american heritage.

But I also said that, nevertheless I can see how they have a bond with the country and culture. Well, apparently I'm gatekeeping races and don't actually know s__t about South America. So am I in the wrong here?

AITA for ending a childcare arrangement that I had upheld for 6 years?

I was a babysitter for my sisters children for 6 years. She had two children close together and then her ex bailed. I worked in a daycare before this started and when my sister started to struggle I told her I could do it. It was far less than she'd pay someone else, but my husband and I could afford the reduction. It was all perfect. My sister was great to do this for because she was always understanding and never took advantage. She got married in April and was home for a while after. Her husband has two of his own children he shares custody of with their mother. It was brought up that my new nieces would be joining my niece and nephew in the childcare arrangement. BIL said it was essential I took all four because the siblings would not be separated. I told my sister I did not think it would work for me. That we should end it now. She understood. Her husband did not.

Now here's the info there: My BIL and his ex-wife had a very n__ty divorce. Part of their custody agreement states they must each have access to the children's location and who is watching the children while with the other parent. So they have to give each other contact info for babysitters and daycare. His ex is a vengeful person and has created so much chaos already. She told my mom to drop dead when my parents had all four kids a few weeks before the wedding. She even drove by the house while the kids were...

AITA For "Not Letting" My Niece Stay With My Daughter?

I (50M) have a daughter (19f) who goes to school in the northeast. She lives in a condo me and my wife (her mom) own rent free during most of the school year, while my son (17M) will be starting college this year in state.

My sisters kid (18F) accepted an offer a while ago to go to school in the same state and area as my daughter. They live in the South, so it's a bit of a change. My sister asked me a couple days ago, if I'd be ok with the possibility of her daughter moving in with my daughter at the condo. I don't live there, so I said I'd get back to her. Then she staretd with the "whys" and wanting to know more.

I told her I just wanted to ask the person who actually lives there how she'd feel about it, and she started pulling the "Well you own it" statements which made me believe that she was hoping for an immediate yes.

I expressed that, and that turned into a dispute/back and forth over the issue. We didn't go on for too long, and we seemed to leave things a bit rocky, so I'm posting here, to see if I'm what this sub calls "the a__hole."

AITA for inviting my stepson (9) to my daughter's (15) birthday without my husband's approval?

Years ago, I (36) found out that husband (39) had an affair. I only found out when he got sued for child support for his now 9 year old son (Adam). We took our time to work things out and were able to move past this eventually.

My husband never wanted anything to do with his ex or Adam other than just pay child support, I myself didn't know much about his son til his mom reached out and told me her story. My husband lied to her about us and she swore she wouldn't have carried on had she known about us. I felt bad for her and she seemed not the malicious type. I worked with her to introduce Adam to my daughters (15, 12) since they didn't get a baby brother but now they do and they adore him.

I started having Adam over and including him in events, My husband would get irritated everytime and throw a fit about not wanting him there, which, I found cruel. but, he said that Adam is a reminder of him wronging me and he's trying to go back to his normal life with us. I told him this is my stepson and my girls' halfbrother, we want him as part of our life and he should respect that but he kept insisting this wasn't right.

Last week was my daughter's birthday, She asked if I could invite Adam and I agreed without telling my husband. He came home from work and saw Adam there, he immediately walked back out looking upset. I saw him...

AITA for making a gay joke?

So, I'm gay. My friend sent me a picture of the rainbow manicure she got and I said "nice that's gay lmaooo". I think I just forgot she, like many of my friends, didn't know I'm gay.

​

She went off at me all "Just because it's rainbow doesn't mean it's gay, and even if I was gay that wouldn't be a problem, gay is okay" yada yada yada. She even posted the chat on social media with my name and picture (as the contact). I saw this and instantly replied "Oh s__t, I guess we never got on this topic, but I'm gay myself...maybe you should take down that post now that we've cleared up this misunderstanding". And she just left me on read lmfao. Now all her friends think I'm some homophobe when actually I'm the gay one.

​

I mean I get how that could seem h__ophobic, but posting it on social media??? That's a step too far imo. I feel like she's just trying to get woke points by posting it online, because even if I was straight calling something that's rainbow gay is not offensive. It's literally the gay flag, I mean that's pretty fu**in gay. I mean, it's not like I was even insinuating gay=bad, I was just making a joke and even if she was trying to get sjw brownie points she didn't have to use my name *sigh*.

AITA for not paying my half-sister’s tuition when I do pay my full-sister’s tuition?

With all of the cheating parent stories I’ve seen on this sub lately, I thought I’d see what you all think of mine. Growing up, my dad and I were extremely close. He taught me everything and was a major influence on my sense of right and wrong. I say that to give you an idea as to why it was incredibly hard on me when I walked in on him banging the nanny when I was 16.

I told my mom which resulted in their divorce the next year. My dad quickly married the nanny after he’d gotten her pregnant. They had a daughter around the time I graduated from high school.

In the two years between their affair coming to light and me graduating, my relationship with my dad not only went downhill, but it basically fell off a cliff. I felt betrayed and I basically told him that he was dead to me. I had lost all respect for him. I also didn’t have any qualms about showing him and his new wife how little I respected them on the very few occasions I actually saw them. It all came to a head when he and his wife showed up to my graduation ceremony with their baby. I was livid. I didn’t want him there. I held it together during the ceremony, but at the after-party I blew up at him and her. I don’t remember what I said, but he said that if I didn’t show him and his wife some respect then he would not be helping pay for my college....

AITA for not getting my DIL coffee becuase she hates tea.

Ok- well i got my answer. I am going to sent this to my son and tell him we need to talk ASAP

My son got back to me and told me we will talk in a bit.

Well just got off the phone with my DIL and son. Yes they have seen this post, I sent it to them. my DIL apologized and this issue has nothing to do with me. I thought she just hated me but this has to deal with her own mother.

They have a bad relationship and when they married didn’t wish for that type of relationship happen again with me. I also didn’t help that her sister has a horrible MIL so she thought she needed to be distant and cold off the start. So yes she wa being rude eon purpose. This post kinda opened her eyes that she was acting like her mother acts.

my son also apologized and realized he went to far in the direction of support your spouse. he admits he did the easy thing becuase we don’t live together

I informed them I won’t put up with being dsrepected anymore and hopefully nothing backtracks. We seem good now but I have a feeling more talks will happen

anyways thank you Reddit. This was helpful

——

This feels really stupid and I need to know if I am the problem here or not. My son seems to think I am the problem.

My DIL loves coffee, she is the type of person that will go...

[UPDATE] WIBTAH if I break up with my fiancé because of his past as cheater?

I analyzed all the things you guys said. Some of you all have told me to forgive him because apparently a man's cheating is not a big deal because men can't control themselves. That was hilarious. As if that is going to help me. Anyways, I talked to him. I explained that his past bothers me. I mean he cheated on his wife when she was going through something so traumatic. I brought up the fact that I am also in high risk when it comes to pregnancy. I told him I cannot fully trust him that he will not cheat on me as well. He told me he has learned his lesson from the previous time. When his infidelity got exposed he had people around him calling him a monster. His parents still don't talk to him directly. He feels guilty because of it and regrets it.

Then I told him that maybe we should date more rather than rushing into marriage and maybe to go couple's counseling. That's when he got slightly mad. He said that if I don't trust him then there is no point in being together. I tried to fight and say it is not like that. We just need sometime. He has to understand that. He told me again that it was not fair for me to judge him when he never judged me because of my past. I asked what he means by that. He pointed out that he knows how in the past I used to sleep around a lot. Ok, let me be clear to you, yes when...
