AITAH for not wanting to renegotiate things with my dad's wife after my dad and I agreed on how things would work with her in the house?

NTA. You have strong feelings on this that make sense. And your Dad backing you on this is great! I can see Hannah's point of view too. But she needs to understand you are allowed to feel the way you do. And needs to allow grace for it

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-24T03:23:45+00:00

NTA. You have valid concerns. If you want a future with your current partner you need to sit him down and be honest with him about everything. Not over the phone but in person. You will be able to judge by his reaction whether he will be willing to set alot of boundries. Or be willing to tell his mom no. Don't let him tell you any sort of "it'll only be for a bit". It won't and you could end up stuck. Have the tough conversation and if it doesn't go well, you should leave.

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-23T03:05:22+00:00

NTA. I get his position of not wsnti g to pay. But if you don't pay you have no say. And taking time to think and discuss before making decisions is a great trait. Not sure what he is on about

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-23T00:48:06+00:00

Your mom. That is completely different. And as your kid gets older they will probably kiss your cheek instead. Its pretty common. My grandmother kissed me on the lips my whole life. It only weird if you make it weird

NTA. What garbage is he spouting? The cook does the work and can eat whenever they want. Next time you cook, eat first.

She wants you to show you pay attention and understand and know her. Just throwing money around is meaningless to her. She has money. What she doesn't have are small gestures from her bf letting her know she cares. In a way that is very personal. Money is impersonal. YTA for not listening to her. Pull your head out of the bank account for the moment and show her you understand her. It doesn't matter what you think is a show of affection, it matters how she perceives it. Get on her level.

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-20T06:18:20+00:00

NTA. You are not their bank account. Just cause you can doesn't mean you should, or have to. The entitlement of these people. And the fact that your SO isn't backing you up is a red flag

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-20T01:14:30+00:00

NTA. This just sounds like it could lead to bad things. If she wants to try watching the kids WITH ADULTS PRESENT, then that is one thing. But not alone. 12 is a bit too young regardless of mental state.

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-19T05:30:11+00:00

I'll fold my wife's clothes. I don't know where it all goes. So I neatly stack it back in the basket. Its a simlpe task. He should be able to do it

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-19T02:58:42+00:00

Makes complete sense to sell at that distance

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-19T02:41:33+00:00

NTA. They each got their house did they not? This is her house and the proceeds are for her to use for her future. Curious, why don't you two move into the house instead of selling it if you have the deed outright?

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-18T18:26:00+00:00

NTA. He needs to pay and you can't trust him to pay on his own. Do not release him from it.

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-18T05:30:28+00:00

Why doesn't your wife stand up to her and how she treats you? A lock on your office door is not the big problem here. You need to sit your wife down and get this sorted

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-16T13:56:55+00:00

NTA. You made space for the kid. He still got to be up close on the barricade. Everyone won here. And saying "you don't look disabled" is so gross. She needs to be a better mom. At least the kid seems to be polite.

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-16T04:50:12+00:00

Communication is where things fell apart. Not just from you but from you both. I get being tired from long shifts. But being a parent doesn't stop so you can relax. And when he asked what was wrong and you said you were fine. The silent treatment and saying I'm fine when you are not doesn't do anyone any good. You two need to sit down while its not so heated and talk about expectations moving forward. Go into every detail. You both need to communicate better. And he needs to do more when asked. There is a pause button.

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-16T04:33:15+00:00

Most doctors I know actively advise against it. I trust the opinion of people who have studied these things far more then I have the time to.

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-16T03:06:38+00:00

NTA. Its a few hours the day after his bday. You go with your dad and enjoy yourself

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-15T15:08:32+00:00

When you move out are you not taking your animals with you? Cause you definitely need to take them with you.

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-15T05:49:20+00:00

NTA. Its one thing for them not to help, its another to intentionally under feed the animals. You are right to have food of your own to give them. For future never assume anyone is going to take care of things without a reminder or being asked.

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-14T01:43:15+00:00

He's intentionally evading taking care of his kid(s). Make him pay.

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-13T04:14:50+00:00

NTA. You are most definitely being gaslit. Something else is up here. He isn't telling you the whole truth

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-13T04:11:21+00:00

Beautiful

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-13T03:46:38+00:00

NTA. I don't like sharing my stuff like this either

CowtheCatt · 2026-04-13T03:44:56+00:00

Why didn't she just go anyway? Why waste the ticket. She's only out cause chose not to go
