This Woman Kicked Her Sister Out for Flirting With Her Husband. Was This the Wrong Move?

There’s nothing quite like a sibling rivalry, don’t you think?

And you’re about to hear a real doozy!

Call me old-fashioned, but I think there are unwritten rules when it comes to hitting on or trying to steal a sibling’s significant other. Do you agree?

A woman ended up kicking her sister out for flirting with her husband…

Things are really heating up on Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole” forum. Check out this story.

AITA for kicking my sister out because she tried flirting with my husband ?

“I(27F) have a little sister, Emily (20F). My husband (27M) and I have been together since our college days.

Back when we started dating, Emily, who was 13-14 then, seemed to have this little crush on my husband (then boyfriend). She would blush in his presence, stutter while talking to him etc; we assumed that the crush went away as she grew older and her behaviour indicated so.

My husband thinks of Emily as the little sister he never had, and treats her as such. We’ve not had much contact with Emily over the years, as we live in a different state at the other side of the country and she’s been busy with her schooling. Last week, my parents and Emily were visiting our house for my birthday weekend.

From the moment Emily arrived, she would not stop flirting with my husband. From excessively complimenting everything he did to proclaiming things like they would make a great pair etc etc. My husband looked very uncomfortable; and so did my parents. I don’t know how we got through the dinner.

After the evening was done, my husband asked me if there was something wrong with Emily and that why was she behaving like THAT? He said she made him very uncomfortable and asked me to talk to her.

So I found her alone, and tried telling her that it was fine if she had/has a crush but it’s never fine to make anyone uncomfortable. I told her that it would be nice if she kept her distance for the remaining two days they were here, since he was NOT okay with this behaviour.

She said she wasn’t being flirty or improper. I told her that she was indeed being inappropriate and it was very creepy that she would try to flirt with my husband.

She got very defensive and said that I was being insecure and I quote, “If I was really flirting with him, you wouldn’t stand a chance.” I lost it as this point and told her that she’s no longer welcome in our house and should f*ck off the first thing in the morning.

Emily and my parents left the very next day; even though my dad agreed that Emily’s behaviour, throughout the evening, was very inappropriate, and that she should apologize to my husband.

Mom thinks nothing of that sort happened and all three of us are being delusional and that it was a d*ck move to kick Emily, and by extension her, out of my house when they’d travelled all the way here.

AITA?”

Wow…

Well, as you know, people on Reddit LOVE to share their opinions. Let’s see what some of them had to say.

This person clearly didn’t think the woman was in the wrong.

And this person made a great point about how gender plays into this whole situation.

Another Reddit user pointed out that the little sister’s rude (and scandalous) comment shows what kind of a person she really is.

A person argued that the little sister obviously has some issues and she refused to change her behavior even though she had been told that she made her brother-in-law uncomfortable.

And then this person brought up an excellent point: maybe this woman should have told her sister to stop immediately instead of waiting for a while.

And finally, another Reddit user said that since the younger sister is only 20-years-old, maybe this is a maturity problem and her sister needs to grow up and respect your household.

Okay, friends, now we want to hear from you.

In the comments, let us know what you think about this situation and if this woman was wrong for what she did to her sister.

We look forward to it!

Guy Asks if He’s Wrong for Not Telling His Wife Her Underage Daughter Got Drunk

I always find it to be so interesting to see how moms and dads react so differently to underage drinking.

Some are completely mortified by it and act like the world might be ending, and others just seem to take it in stride and not let it ruin their day…or their year…

This story comes to us from Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole” page and it involves underage drinking and some secrets…

Let’s see what this guy had to say.

AITA for not telling my wife that I picked her daughter up drunk from a house party?

“I’m going to try to keep this short and simple.

I always tell my daughter and my stepdaughter if they’re ever in a situation that they need to get out of, just call me and I’ll drop whatever I’m doing and I will pick them up no questions asked no judgments made.

I let them know that I used to be a teenager once before, I told them everyone is entitled to make bad decisions every now and then. We’re only human and it’s a part of life.

Last weekend I got a call from my stepdaughter (17), she told me she snuck out of the house and went to a party and had too much to drink. She was scared of passing out at the party because there was people there she didn’t know.

I got there just in time, she was so drunk she couldn’t even walk. I had to pick her up and carry her to the car. I told her I was disappointed that she snuck out, but I also told her I was glad she made the right choice, the safe choice to have me pick her up.

I haven’t told my wife about it, because I don’t want to violate the deal I made with her. I want her to know that she can trust me. I just hope I’m making the right choice.”

Uh oh…sounds like a pretty sticky situation to me. Let’s see what AskReddit users had to say about this.

One person argued that the trust between the man and his stepdaughter should not be broken.

Another reader responded with some very good advice about what the man should do next regarding his stepdaughter.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And a woman who is also a mom offered up her thoughts about how she would have handled the situation.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another Reddit user talked about how keeping secrets is not a good thing…and it could lead to trouble.

Lastly, this person did not agree with the others who responded and thinks that the man did indeed act like an *sshole in this situation.

How do you feel about this situation?

Should he have filled his wife in about this situation, or kept her in the dark?

Guy Asks if He’s a Jerk for Yelling at His Wife Over Two Dollars

I want my two dollars!

Sorry, I had to do it.

But let’s move on.

This story appeared on Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole” forum. A man asked folks if he overreacted and if he should feel bad about blowing up at his wife over what on the surface was a measly two dollars, but was actually the culmination of a lot of issues.

Let’s see what happened.

AITA for yelling at my wife over $2?

“My wife (38F) and I (33M) have been married for 8 years. We have one child together (5M).

Some background that might be relevant: I work full time. She works about 15 hours a week. Our finances have always been separate. However, I pay all the bills and for all our “fun stuff,” as well as give her an allowance of $1,000 per month. In fact, she currently has almost three times as much money saved as I do.

The fight: We were out for a walk and I wanted to get a holiday drink from a coffee shop for us to share. My wife told me not to get it. She said she had a gift card, but only for a certain location. So I waited until we walked past that location. My wife then said she would go in to get it and we would meet at home. I left with our son.

When my wife got home I noticed she was drinking a plain coffee. I asked her where my drink was and she said there wasn’t enough money left on her card to get me the kind that I wanted. I admit I kind of blew up at her.

I asked her why she didn’t just let me buy the drink myself then? Or why not use some of the money I gave her. Or even just let me know she couldn’t get it. Honestly, it’s like a $2 difference.

I was actually so mad I had to leave the house. I’m currently at my sister’s place, just hanging out in the front yard (because COVID). I don’t know if I should go home and apologize for yelling or stay until I’ve truly calmed down

My wife always makes me feel like I’m overreacting but I feel genuinely hurt.”

Hmmmm, this sure is a tricky situation….

Let’s see what other folks on Reddit had to say about this.

This person said that the man was not wrong and that he’s clearly been giving and giving and not getting much back in return.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And this person went so far as to even call his situation “financial abuse”.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And this Reddit user brought up a very good point: who would actually do what the man’s wife did to someone they love? It sure struck me as odd.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This reader didn’t beat around the bush AT ALL.

Take a look.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And this individual stated the obvious: that the incident with the coffee triggered the emotional reaction that had been a long time coming.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Here’s another person who laid out the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

And I agree, a $1,000 monthly allowance is pretty wild.

What do you think?

Is this guy a jerk or was he justified in the way he acted?

Share your thoughts with us in the comments. Thanks a lot!

Was This Woman Wrong For Being Angry About Her Boyfriend’s “Guy Nights?”

Relationships are difficult. Anyone who tells you differently is either lying or they aren’t actually emotionally invested in the relationship at all.

I said what I said.

Which is not to say they’re hard all the time, but you know. It’s not always easy.

This girl is finding out that struggles can unexpectedly come out of nowhere now that a friend has become a boyfriend, and everyone is going out to have fun without her.

So me and my boyfriend, C, have the same friend group. There’s 5 guys and 3 girls including myself who are all dating guys in this group. For context I was introduced to the group 4 years ago and I started dating C over a year ago. He joined a year before we dated. Anyway onto the story.

They’ve all been friends for awhile, and OP is closer to the guys than the girls, but still, they don’t want to invite her along – because if she did, all the girls would be invited.

And no, it’s not every couple of months. It’s all the time.

So the boys in my friend group have started a thing called “guys night” where they go out and do everything we all do together but without us girls. Here’s the thing- ALL of my friends are the boys. I don’t know the girls in the group too well and while I have friends outside the group I’m no where near as close with them as I am this group.

They say they need to “spend some quality time with their friends” and that if I went they’d have to invite their girlfriends. And it’s not every so often, it’s every 2 weeks on a Saturday, which is the one day I can go out. So basically while my boyfriend goes out with all my friends I have to be stuck at home by myself. And what’s worse is when we all do hang out they constantly bring up stuff that happened on guys night saying “you had to be there”.

This had been going on months.

She got upset when he was giddy about another night out, and refused to take her along or just spend the night with her instead without even thinking about it.

Last night my boyfriend came over to mine from guys night really happy and was texting his friends when I asked him why I couldn’t go. He made a vague gesture at my chest and crotch saying I wasn’t a guy. I then asked him why he couldn’t skip it to spend the night with me and he rolled his eyes. I lost it.

I started crying and screaming at him calling him an asshole for allowing me to be completely isolated when I’ve told him how shitty it is. He ended up leaving and called me a bitch.

He’s staying with one of our friends who’s saying I was being the AH for yelling at him that way. The girls all agree with me though and I don’t know if I should apologise.

OP made an edit to explain that she’s not being possessive, and it’s fine if her boyfriend has hobbies, she just doesn’t want to constantly be excluded because she’s not a dude.

EDIT: I feel like everyone is confusing what I’m saying. I’m not mad he has his own hobbies- that’s amazing!! I’m just upset that I’m being excluded because of my gender from my friends who I introduced him to. I’ve been told explicitly this by him and his friends. Also we don’t live together and I only see him a few times a week.

And another one to say it’s not like he’s deprived or always working or anything.

EDIT 2: I should also add my boyfriend sees all his friends during the week but they schedule guys night on the one night I can go out. As I said in a comment I see him 2-3 times a week and he sees them at least 4 times, 5 on guys night. I see my friends once a fortnight.

TLDR: boyfriend goes out with my friend group while excluding me completely. I lost it at him and now I’m being called an AH

My gut reaction is that there are tons of red flags and this girl is not wrong, and there are plenty of commenters who agree with me.

Image Credit: Reddit

She probably needs to reassess her friendships…and her relationship.

Image Credit: Reddit

More than a few, though, voted that everyone sucks here.

Image Credit: Reddit

Something about the whole thing stinks, don’t you think?

Image Credit: Reddit

There were plenty of people who thought she was overreacting too, though.

Image Credit: Reddit

This one is more divisive than many posts on AITA, which makes it pretty interesting.

What’s your take? I personally think she’s better off finding a new boyfriend, but I don’t know….tell me what you think in the comments!

A Man Asked if He’s Wrong To Keep His Terminal Diagnosis From His Wife

When I read that a man wants to keep the fact that he’s dying from his wife, I get a little judgy. You’re supposed to be each other’s person, their till-death-do-us-part, and to keep something that will ultimately affect you both a secret, well…that can’t be right.

Can it?

As with many Am I the A$shole posts, though, there’s always a bit more than meets the eye -and it should come as no surprise that dying can be intensely personal and varies from person to person.

The husband in question gives us a little background up front. A medical condition means he never expected to live a long life, but he says that a recent “complication” took his time from 20 or 30 years down to 1.

Male, 31 here. For the past 15 years, I’ve been dealing with a medical condition that requires constant medication and consistent doctor’s visits. I had always been projected to live until 50-60ish, however, a recent complication has cut that down to 12 months, 16 at best. In about 10 months, my condition should start getting a lot worse. After 12 months, I’ll essentially be living in the hospital.

He’s married and doesn’t know how to tell his wife, and all of this has (understandably) made him rethink his short future.

I am married of 4 years (no kids). I haven’t had the heart to tell my wife the news. I don’t even know how. We always knew I’d die younger than I wanted to, but we never expected it to be this soon.

As much as I know I should tell my wife, I don’t want my last year to be plagued with an impending doom.

My wife and I have always talked about living abroad somewhere, maybe Australia, but we’ve never found the time or money to do so. I’ve been saving up to go to graduate school, however, I don’t see much point in that now.

He wants to enjoy the time he has left, and to give his wife a nice time, a good memory, of this final year of his life, but wonders if he’s wrong to keep something this huge from her until their time is almost gone.

So here’s my idea: take some of that money, and take my wife to Australia for a few months, and enjoy the time together. I have a job I can work remotely from anywhere, and she has a job that she can easily find work anywhere. We can work part-time, and enjoy our time together. When we get back, or maybe towards the end of it, I will break the news to her. I just wouldn’t want the trip to be ruined for us by constant reminders of me dying. I know my wife, and she’s very emotional – to the point where I feel like she will be crying everyday and not enjoying herself. I want this memory to be a good one for her, and not plagued by my time ticking down.

As a note, he wants us to know he’s not a jerk – his wife will be taken care of in every way he can imagine after he’s gone. He just wants to live these last months on his own terms.

AITA for putting off telling her I am dying?

Note: I have life insurance that will take care of her, so I am not too worried about spending this money now on this trip. And I plan on talking to her about a sperm bank, just in case she decides she wants my kids in the future, as well as premised birthday cards and other things for her to have.

The people of Reddit were ready and waiting to weigh in, and as usual, they held nothing back.

Image Credit: Reddit

This person was a bit kinder, saying he doesn’t suck, but also saying that from personal experience, they think she deserves to know.

Image Credit: Reddit

Others pointed out that she’s going to need time to process, too, and he’s taking that away from her.

Image Credit: Reddit

And this very good point, which is that he might think he knows how she would choose to spend their last year together, but he doesn’t actually know unless he asks – and he never will.

Image Credit: Reddit

This excellent thought from a soft-hearted person says that OP is going to need his partner, that this isn’t something he should go through alone.

Image Credit: Reddit

I agree that this is just a sad situation all the way around, and I hope that he decides to tell her so they can do this together.

That said, he’s going through something most of us will thankfully never have to face, and so maybe he deserves some time and grace, too.

A Guy Got Angry That His Girlfriend “Doesn’t Work Hard” for Her Higher Salary. People Reacted.

Without reading any further, you can probably guess that the “higher salary” part of this headline is what really got OP’s (original poster) panties in a twist.

There seems to be a certain kind of man who just can’t handle the idea of his female partner making more money than he does, regardless of their industries or how hard she works – and in the case of this dude, he’s decided that since, to his mind, she doesn’t work as hard as he does, she really shouldn’t be making so much money.

My girlfriend and I both work in tech, she’s a safety validator for software, working at a consulting firm, and I’m doing network infrastructure support.

When we both worked in different offices I didn’t know much about her day to day life at work.

I knew she made a lot more than me, 120k to my 66k, and she credits a lot of that to job hopping, she’s 25 and has had three full time jobs since college. I’ve been at one place since college.

But since we’ve been working from home, I’ve seen a lot of her daily schedule. And hers versus mine are really different.

Now that they’re working from home, he sees that she gets to sleep in before a meeting, works off and on the rest of the day while also taking care of herself and the house.

I guess that’s offensive.

She gets up at 9:15 to drag herself into the home office for her 9:30-10 daily meeting.

After the meeting she goes and showers and has breakfast from about 10 to 10:45, answering a few slack messages and emails on her phone but mostly just listening to podcasts and eating and doing her morning routine.

Then she works till noon, and takes a lunch break from noon till 1. Then she works from 1 to 4, often having meetings or working on her own stuff. And at 4 will spend an hour or so doing household chores and stuff while keeping an eye on her phone to answer emails.

And outside of 9 to 5 she blocks work related messages from her phone.

Reader, he called her a slacker.

So basically she actually works about 4 and a half hours daily, and does her own thing for about 2 hours, just paying enough attention to reply to emails that come in.

I basically work nonstop 8:30 to 5 or 6 pm, working 8.5 to 9.5 hours a day. I don’t take breaks in the workday to shower or eat breakfast and lunch or do household chores.

And a few weeks ago I got kinda frustrated with her for basically hardly doing anything for her job at all. And that they were overpaying her if she was spending half the day slacking.

She got frustrated and basically told him it was none of his business how many hours she works a day – her bosses are happy with her output and contributions and are the ones paying her salary.

She got frustrated with me and said that they hired her for her knowledge and it wasn’t my place to say what her time was worth, that if her boss and ceo saw the work she produced and chose to pay her what they chose to pay her that it wasn’t my place to undervalue her because i was being jealous.

And that she picked her job instead of one that might pay better because she wanted a good work life balance, she was sick of wasting her life away at work that was a lot more demanding.

He just kept at it, though, because *whines* how could this possibly be FAIR?

I said that she was being a little privileged, not a lot of people can just choose to make six figures and wander off from work for practically half the day, and that all I was saying was that she was working half as hard as a lot of people who earn a lot less.

She got mad at me and said that it’s not up to me to decide what her time is worth

AITA for what I said about my girlfriend’s work ethic?

Is this guy the a$shole?

I think we all know the answer to that, but here are some comments just to make us all feel vindicated.

Image Credit: Reddit

Yes! Be happy that your team is making more money and your partner was happy!

Image Credit: Reddit

More than one person pointed out that his girlfriend was pretty nice about the whole thing- nicer than she had to be, for sure.

Image Credit: Reddit

It’s true that working from home has made people more efficient and not less.

Image Credit: Reddit

He should just be living the good life.

Image Credit: Reddit

This guy sucks and I hope he either gets his act together or his girlfriend moves on to someone who won’t make her feel badly about all the ways she chooses to live her life – while making excellent money, I might point out.

A Child-Free Woman Wants to Know if it Was Wrong to Give to Charity Instead of Her Friend’s Kids

It’s always sort an awkward thing when your friends have kids – whether you have your own or not.

Are they supposed to be friends just because you are? Do you have to act like you like their kids in order to stay friends? Do you exchange gifts on holidays? Send them birthday texts?

There aren’t any clear rules, and it probably depends on the type of friendship you have to begin with, I would think.

This woman makes good money and lives in a large city….

AITA for telling my friend it is not my job to get presents for her kids

I know it sounds bad but hear me out. Part of me feels like I could’ve just sucked it up. back story below.

I (27F) live in a major city. I moved out of my home town when I was 18 for college and upon graduation, got a full time job in said city. I have a great job in wealth management and make great money, this will come in to play later.

Since moving away I visit a few times a year. Kellie and I have been good friends for 6 years and she has a daughter and a son, aged 5 and 3. I love her kids and spoil them to no end. Every time I come up for a visit I am always bringing them presents of stuff I’ve accumulated in the months of my weekly tj maxx trips. I never show up empty handed for these kids and i love them.

Idk how to put this because I feel like a bad person saying this…but as the years go on we just don’t have much in common. I have a long term boyfriend and I’m constantly getting asked “when’s the engagement, you should get engaged soon so you can have kids ASAP”. I’m still young, i like being obligation free, going out, partying (pre covid obviously), I like having intellectually stimulating convos with people. I hope it doesn’t come off as shallow but I’ve just noticed lately I get incredibly bored because the conversations go no where.

Kellie and husband have finance troubles so when we go out I’m always offering to pay for dinner, always paying when we take her kids to activities like amusement parks or zoo’s. Although I’m not around as much in their life because I live out of state, I am ALWAYS insisting that I take them places or do fun things with the kids. They don’t struggle with money because they make minimum wage, they struggle because they don’t budget.

onto event. I went Black Friday shopping with her and was picking up a lot of toys for boys aged 8-15 (unlike her 3 year old son). When she asked what they were for, I explained to her that I “adopted” a family of underprivileged children to get presents for (I knew the toys would be going directly to said children and that it wasn’t some scam)

Especially given covid times I wanted to give back so I opted to shop for the three boys, and told her that since I have no kids of my own to shop for I wanted to spend my extra bonus money on them. She looks me dead in the eyes and goes “what do you mean you don’t have any kids to shop for? You could use it on my kids, you know how much we struggle sometimes and you make so much money”. Let me be perfectly clear; her two children are already spoiled beyond words, not just by me but EVERYONE. these kids have more than children frankly ever need. I’m trying to do the right thing for children who NEED IT, and I told her this much. I exploded and told her everything I said above and she started crying. I immediately felt like shit because she is a good friend and I love her kids, but I obviously already got them a few things and not all of my money needs to go to them.

When it came time for the commenters to weigh in, many people thought the friendship had probably run its course.

Image Credit: Reddit

Plenty of people pointed out that OP is doing a nice thing for kids who need it, and anyone who would be annoyed by that should probably re-examine their own priorities.

Image Credit: Reddit

Others were quick to remind OP that friendships have to go two ways, and it seems like she’s not getting much, if anything, out of this one anymore.

Image Credit: Reddit

OP is, of course, a good person.

Image Credit: Reddit

Then there was this well-timed (and true!) rant about society and child-free people.

Image Credit: Reddit

It’s not a friend’s job to make up for your own shortcomings re: caring for your children.

Image Credit: Reddit

I think OP is probably right to regret how things went down, and maybe some of the things that she said, but she’s not at all a jerk for adopting a family during the holidays instead of spending all of her extra money on her friend’s kids.

Right?

Is Telling the Truth a Good Reason to Ruin Game Night? Check Out This Story…

Game nights are sacred. There’s a social contract, I think, that if you’ve got a good enough group of friends to make game nights happen, on those nights you do your best to get along and not rock the boat, right?

That may be so, but I imagine there are things that are hard to let slide – like what happened on this particular night, when a game night went down in glorious flames.

AITA for ruining game night by telling the truth?

A few nights ago, I hosted a game night for a small group of friends (we had all been quarantining and following the proper guidelines in my county). It was only going to be 5 of us (including me), but one of my friends texted me last minute that she was going to bring a coworker from work (Matt-fake name). Fine with me.

We started playing a card game where you answer questions about yourself; based on the level (Level 1, 2, 3), the question could be extremely surface level (ex. what’s your favorite color?) to something deeper (ex. what characteristic of yourself do you not like about yourself?). Everyone was enjoying themselves, and I was happy with the way things were going.

Cue a question I drew: “What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever had to go through?”

Some backstory: My sister passed away a few years ago when I was still in high school. I was pulled out of class and flew immediately to her college and watched her die in the ICU. Needless to say, this is probably the hardest thing I’ve been through. 3 of my friends in the group knew about this, the other 2 and Matt did not.

I didn’t want to bring the mood down, so I answered that the hardest thing I’d been through was transitioning going to a college in a different state where I knew no one. We were all ready to move on, but Matt immediately piped up and said, “Wow, if that’s the hardest thing you’ve ever been through, you live an extremely privileged life.”

Everyone got quiet. Now, if he had said it jokingly, I probably would have let it go and moved on. However, the way he said it was in a very condescending and patronizing tone, and I will admit, it rubbed me the wrong way. Instead of letting it go, I said “well, the hardest thing I’ve ever been through is seeing my sister die in the ICU and having to watch her being lowered into her grave when I was 17. I just didn’t want to bring the mood down.”

If things were quiet before, they were dead silent now. Matt mumbled an apology but game night ended shortly after. After my friends all left, my friend who had brought Matt texted me and told me I was a jerk for making Matt look bad, and I could have just let his statement go. I do feel bad about what I said and being the cause of game night ending so soon, but I also feel like I was just making a justified statement.

AITA?

Cue the comments, the top one of which kept it simple but sweet.

Image Credit: Reddit

And this one, which agreed and said keeping the peace isn’t the be-all, end-all goal. Or, it shouldn’t be.

Image Credit: Reddit

Most people pretty much agreed that Matt was the stranger, and he really should have acted accordingly.

Image Credit: Reddit

On the plus side, now they’ve got an inside joke?

Image Credit: Reddit

This person pointed out that Matt even had the change to apologize and didn’t, too.

Image Credit: Reddit

This one was a bit more borderline for me, but probably just because I’m from the Midwest and was raised to keep the peace.

An Angry Guy Got Revenge by Outing Ex, Wants to Know if He Was Wrong to Do It

This is one of those Am I The A$shole posts that boils your blood after you read the title, but based on experience, those can go one of two ways.

You can either realize that not only were you right, but they’re even worse than the title suggested OR you can realize there’s more to the story and they’re just terrible at writing titles.

You’ll have to come along for the ride to see whether this person, who was rejected after a proposal because their girlfriend had a gay awakening, is truly awful for outing them to their friends.

AITA for outing my ex as gay after she told everyone that I cheated on her?

I know the title sounds absolutely terrible.

My ex and I were together for 5 years. I decided to propose, but she rejected me. The next day, we had a talk. She realized that she was gay, since “I’ve been trying to hard to please myself from men”.

We broke up.

The very next day, I get bombarded with text messages. My friends asked if this was true, and they linked me to a post. It was a Facebook (who uses Facebook) post (exposing me) about me cheating. She said that’s why we broke up. Now I usually am not evil, but this pissed me off. She was destroying my reputation, for god knows why. I simply commented that the real reason that we broke up was because she is gay. People didn’t believe me, until my ex literally screamed at me for outing her. Then a lot of people started to call her out for her lies. I know I’m probably a huge asshole. Though I feel like she deserves it.

But alas, AITA?

No. I did not cheat on her.

Yes. I did have sex with someone the day that we broke up. But it was after.

Predictably, the commenters were very opinionated as they weighed in.

Like this guy, who also agreed she deserved it.

But then there are the rules about outing people…

It’s maybe ESH (Everyone Sucks Here), if you squint.

While some believe he could have been a bit more discreet.

This person pointed out that cancel culture has removed some of those more tactful options.

This is a tough one because of the “rules” regarding outing people, but also, I feel like there is probably more to the story since she went straight to Facebook and started telling what he says are lies.

What do you think? Let’s hash it out in the comments!

A Concerned Parent Wants to Know if He’s Wrong for Refusing to Help His Daughter With Her Family Tree Assignment

Almost every kid who attends public school will, at some point, come home with a family tree assignment. You fill in the blanks, you ask your relatives some questions about where they grew up and what their parents did and maybe for an anecdote or two, and voila!

At least, that’s what I remember.

According to this man, though, his daughter’s assignment turned out to be nothing like he expected.

There were questions about taxes and other personal financial information.

It asked for replies about medical histories and potential criminal backgrounds.

He tried reaching out to the teacher but got no response, and other parents were also concerned.

One of them finally got hold of the teacher, who explained the assignment was meant to make students more aware of the diversity in their school.

The intention was fine, he thought, but he still felt odd about sharing such personal information – some of it about extended family members – with the community at large.

He and about 2/3 of the other parents agreed their kids wouldn’t be taking part, but some committee called them “Karens,” and accused them of sabotaging efforts to be more diverse and inclusive.
