AITA for not telling my(27m) wife(29) how much money she’ll get in life insurance if I die?

I have a small family in which I’m the main provider, my wife also works but she doesn’t make as much as I do and if something happened to me, my wife and daughters would not be in a good place.

I recently had a near death experience and I decided to get a good life insurance policy. I know I’m a little late to this and I probably should’ve done it when I first had kids, but I was irresponsible and hadn’t really considered death in an accident happening.

So I got a good policy and I don’t want to say how much is in it, but let’s just say that combined with my wife’s income, they would be better off without me than with me financially. Now I trust me my wife but I do think some things can stand to be secret in marriage.

My wife asked me how much I was insured for and I told her I wouldn’t tell her. I kinda just don’t want for her to know the exact amount. I don’t want her to want the money. I’m not saying that I think she’ll take me out, but I doubt any person that’s been offed for their life insurance thought there k__ler would do it, so I’d rather be safe than sorry.

She asked why I wouldn’t tell her, I told her that I didn’t think she needed to know how much until she had it and that I didn’t want her to want the money. I told her vaguely that she’d be fine and theoretically if I died, their lives wouldn’t change much financially for maybe 4 more years.

She said...

AITA for telling my younger brother to f__k off and he can't be everyone's favorite and that I wish he wasn't my brother?

I (16m) have a younger brother (14m) and he's our parents and our grandma's favorite. I'm grandpa's favorite but I think it's only because he knows I don't get treated the same and would be totally overlooked if he didn't favor me and show me the attention he does. My brother gets whatever he wants, he's praised for doing nothing and every time he does something, like help with a football game, he gets spoiled rotten and praised for being such a good athlete.

When he said he wanted to go pro when he's older our parents and grandma were all for it and said he was so amazing and how great it is that he's inspired to be like that. They were so happy they let him away with not doing chores for like 6 weeks. My brother can say he's not feeling the best and asks if I'll take over our chores and our parents expect that.

But even if I'm sick I'm expected to do mine and if I ask him to take mine over because I'm sick he says no and they scold me for trying to get out of my responsibilities. My parents don't really care about my interests the same way they do my brother's and neither does grandma. The three of them say pretty often that I should be more athletic like my brother and they told me if I played football or basketball I'd be more interesting but all I want to do is play video games and code and that's not something they can get behind.

Grandma even said she would never support my wish to see if I can make a career...

AITA for telling my friend's girlfriend that I am not her Friend?

I know it hasn't been long since I have posted on this sub but I have another dilemma and this one has been eating at me

My (19f) friend Jake (20m) have been friends since my freshman year of college. When The fall semester started, he told me that he got a girlfriend. I was excited for him and asked who the lucky girl was. He told me her name was Katherine and showed me a picture of her. I instantly recognized her as my middle school bully. A couple of things she did to me was

-Made fun of my physical features such as my hair and skin tone (I'm black)

-Told me several times and in front of others that I'm too ugly for anyone to like

-Spread around the rumor that I was pregnant, resulting in me losing several friends

Afterward, Jake would sometimes bring Katherine when were playing games in the basement of the library. She seemed like she has changed for the better since middle school but I just couldn't bring myself to be around her. We would have small talk here and there but I just avoided her because I didn't want to interact with her too much. I told Jake that Katherine seemed nice but I wasn't vibing with her. He was a little sad since he wanted us to be friends but he understood.

Here is where I might be the a__hole.

I'm on winter break so I decided to go to the mall. I bumped into Katherine and Jake there. They were with 2 other people. Jake saw me and waved for me to come over. He introduced them...

AITA for not paying 1/3 of my salary for my kids’ college?

Both my kids are in college. Through my teaching job, my kids can attend my private college ($55k plus tuition) for free, or one of our exchange colleges for close to free. My kids don't like any of the colleges in the list, including mine.

My ex wife is proposing that it is fair to pay the amount of our state college's tuition plus room and board (though they could live at home if they attended there). The cost is $30k per kid, which means $30k each for my ex and I. $30k is over a third of my annual salary.

My ex has already told the kids that this is a done deal. I will pay, she said, 'whatever you decide to pay' and she will 'somehow take care of the rest.' So clearly the expectation is (if I'm not a total d__k) that I will split it half and half. She makes less than I do.

I don't want to pay any of it. I stuck with this job in part for the benefits. The tuition benefit, specifically.

I also don't want to say 'okay I'll pay $5k per kid per year because they could be going for free and they chose not to,' because then I'm the a__hole. But... am I the a__hole?

Help. I feel like a stingy jerk but I would really like to have some boundaries.

AITAH for telling neighbors kids can't come over anymore?

With summer approaching here, this has been weighing on me. We (42f and 49m) have next door neighbors who for the last few summers (and times during the school year) have been basically using me (teacher, summers off) as free childcare. Their two kids show up at our house to play with my kids in the morning and most days stay all day until dinner. The parents have never even asked if this is OK. The kids just see us outside and come over or they come knock at my door. The kids always play in my yard, so I feel responsible for supervising everyone. These kids have joined in on family birthday parties, playdates with my kids' friends and cousins, and even holidays. They just show up in our yard. I have long thought their mom was not aware of how often the kids are at my house. She works long hours outside the house and dad WFH. SO, getting to me question: I cannot take these kids showing up at my house uninvited to play everyday again this summer. AITAH for texting the parents and telling them they need to ASK through a certain text message chain BEFORE sending their kids over to my house? OR to say please stop sending them uninvited to my house??
I am questioning this because my kids really do like playing with theirs. But, I feel that I never have any downtime or peace the last few summers and want to avoid that going forward. What do you think?

AITA for not wanting to finance my husbands children’s life outside of our home?

My husband and I have been married for just less than 1 year. We have been together for 7 years. We have children from previous relationships. He has 3; 15 year old boy, 13 year old boy, and 12 year old girl. I have one; 8 year old boy. My son lives with us full time, his daughter spends every other weekend with us and his 2 sons live with there mom in a different state.

A little background, when we first got together, his kids were obviously much younger and my son was a baby. I pushed and asked for a relationship with his kids and their mothers but eventually stop pursuing the idea as it seemed as I was the only one interested in the possibility. Fast forward to now, the kids are much older and I have zero relationship with their mothers (the boys have the same mom, his daughter has a different mother) and barely a relationship with his kids. It’s not hostile or negative, it’s just not there. I’m pretty much invisible. It’s not ideal but it could be a lot worse.

In our home, I’m the breadwinner. It’s always been that way. I’m fortunate to have a great job, extremely supportive parents, and a very privileged upbringing. My paycheck pays 80% of our bills and all of our household living expenses, trips, and extras. My parents are extremely involved with my son and he spends plenty of nights and weekends with them. We have a great relationship and the life my son has is nothing short of a blessing.

Here’s where the problem comes in… because we got married, I was expected to provide for the...

AITA for kicking my MIL out after she hit my kid?

So long story short, my wifes mother (65f) lives with me and my wife because "she doesnt feel safe in a house alone" ill usually be cool with it if she stays in the guest rooms, but no, she wants to stay and sleep in our master bedroom, i told my wife that she has to move out but my MIL told me that she will spread hate along the famuly on us if we dared move her out (she knew since she was evesdropping probably) and the other problem is she doesnt contribute to the bills although she takes a bath EVERY DAY and uses the hair dryer, and thr AC, and atleast she could help with the chores, you guessed it! Also no, she says "im too old to do something like that" although she does yoga and goes to the gym, but thus week i lost it, my wife and I were gonna be an hour late from going home so I told my MIL to pick them up (my wife and I have separate cars but we go in one since she works in the same building as me) but when we got back home the kids weren't there, I asked my MIL where are the kids and she told me that she forgot since she was watching her favorite show, and in her words "not like the kids are gonna get kidnapped" so furious, I picked the kids and drove back home, while I was napping after a long day at work, I heard one of my kids crying hysterically, I got up immediately to check what happened, and my son was crying while the other (I have 2 sons)...

AITAH for having an affair after my wife told me to do so?

I(37M) am married to my wife(38F) for 12 years and together for 16. We have a beautiful 7yo daughter. The only problem we had in our relationship was s__ual intimacy. It started around third year of the marriage and we do not have s__ anymore. It did not stop at once but got less and less over the years to a point where we do not have s__ anymore. Many discussions were had on this problem and all I received was "it's no different than a chore for me" and "you are exaggerating it".

We both work and after the birth of our daughter I took a more back-end, less demanding job to WFH and take care of our daughter together with my wife. I am the primary care-giver now that she is back to her office work. I do most of the housework given that I have more time at home. The only time I leave home is probably for the gym and groceries. At first, that problem in our relationship made me mental. I even started going to individual therapy since I was diagnosed with dysmorphia after constant r__ection. I struggled and tried everything to rekindle the intimacy. I thought she was not attracted to me and more and started hitting the gym for 7 years. I arranged frequent date nights and trips. I did oil massages, foot rubs and even bought a massage gun. Most of these were not new at all and had always been present in our relationship. She is a great mother and otherwise an amazing wife but this problem just destroyed me.

2 years ago I broke down in front of her when we were discussing...

AITA for telling partner I have had enough of his birthday celebrations?

My partner's birthday fell on a Tuesday this year, so he decided to kick off the celebrations a week early! We had happy hour with friends on Friday, brunch on Saturday, and a pool party on Sunday. Then, on his actual birthday, he wants to go out to dinner at his favorite restaurant (of course, with friends!).

I'm exhausted of entertaining, coordinating, cooking! His main birthday gift is a pretty awesome trip, but since we're leaving two days after his birthday, I don't think it quite feels like a birthday present to him. He wasn't thrilled with the food at the pool party and said he would had done something else instead.

I was very upset because friends helped decorate, someone baked a cake, etc. I may have said some things in the moment about how much effort everyone was putting in and how entitled he was coming across. AITA for calling him out as selfish and self-centered?

AITA for complaining to the landlord about the neighbor CONSTANTLY using my driveway to turn around?

This is so petty but so annoying! My daughter (26) and I (51F) live together in a sprawling complex of duplexes. We all have our own driveways.

So, the neighbors across the street either moved someone in with them or she just visits a lot. Instead of parking in their driveway, she parks on the street. Every time she leaves, she uses my driveway to turn around. She comes and goes A LOT.

We've all used random driveways to turn around, but this lady pulls way up almost to the house. It's especially annoying at night because her headlights splash across the living room windows. This past Wednesday, she pulls way in, then sits there fiddling with her phone. After a couple of minutes, I go out and ask if I can help her. I did have an attitude because who does that? She says no, she's good. So I (still with an attitude) told her that she had her own driveway to chill in and to stop using my driveway to chill in and turn around. She's pi**ed too and basically tells me she'll do what she wants and left. I was salty, but she stopped. Until yesterday (Saturday). My annoyance kicked back in, but I just grumbled to my daughter, who thinks I'm being petty as hell.

So later on that same Saturday, I am coming down the street from the grocery store. I see her getting into her car that is parked on the street. I backed into the driveway and stopped just past the sidewalk so I'm not blocking walkers and pretended to be on my phone. She STILL tried to use the little bit of my driveway...
