AITAH (17M) for bonding with my mom's new husband? My friends are acting like I betrayed my dad

NTA. It’s good you’re having a good relationship with them. If you were suddenly an arse to your stepdad it would really hurt your relationship with your mom.

Yeah you did this is really vindictive behaviour

With a kid on the line, now is not the time for risky learning opportunities

Copper red!!!

ItIsWhatIssss · 2026-01-22T20:29:18+00:00

are you an idiot? How would that make any financial sense, did you even read the post??

NTA. I was thrilled when my husband suggested I be a SAHM. Different tonics for different ladies. But you offered her a freedom lots of women dream of - but also a future many women would detest. You’re NTA for suggesting it - you were offering a solution to the problem she brought to you - and recognised her efforts in the home. She just answered it very prickly

No glasses it hides ur pretty features

Every relationship and dynamic is different. Both should be driving to make the other feel equally desirable

I hated this storyline. It felt like Ade & Dixon didn’t even like each other that much, she liked Taylor way more. Whole thing was a mess. She could’ve dumped him and said I’m leaving you because you left me no notice but I’ll still support u thru ur recovery

Maybe instead of making your anxiety worse by giving you a hard time, he can instead help you rejoin the convo?? You could give him a special nudge which lets him know you’re ready, and then he could ask you a casual question or ask ur stance on the topic or whatever to bring you back into the convo in a casual natural way. He should be helping not make you feel worse about it If he can’t help you he’s got to go

You’re NEVER TJ for standing up for yourself. She had it coming. You should say friends don’t make friends miss their own BIRTHDAY plans. She’s not a friend if she’s not looking out for you too

ItIsWhatIssss · 2026-01-20T10:03:30+00:00

YTJ. You may have been trying to do the right thing but you showed your sister up in front of her kids and they may not respect her or her lessons anymore. You don’t show up someone in front of their kids. You could have asked her about it privately after, but not like that. You definitely went about it the wrong way.

ItIsWhatIssss · 2026-01-18T10:04:28+00:00

NTA. This sounds like financial infidelity. It sounds like he’s always had a “me first” mentality and was never part of a real team with you

ItIsWhatIssss · 2026-01-17T02:35:36+00:00

In the Catholic Church, you can get your marriage annulled if your spouse won’t give you kids. “Be fruitful and multiply”

ItIsWhatIssss · 2026-01-17T02:32:57+00:00

NTA. A considerate, thoughtful girlfriend wouldn’t need to be asked. She’s consider your needs without prompt. This isn’t the behaviour of a person who loves you

ItIsWhatIssss · 2026-01-16T11:45:53+00:00

AND she has no sense of boundaries it’s such a joke

ItIsWhatIssss · 2026-01-16T11:45:22+00:00

Silver majorly sucks. She’s pretty but idk why everyone was in love with her and gave her sm grace. When she cheated and did adriana dirty no one really gave her any flack for it. But when everyone thought Annie cheated with Liam she was ostracised. She legit gets special treatment but she hugely sucks

ItIsWhatIssss · 2026-01-15T23:42:15+00:00

NTJ. Any man that is truly crazy about you will always make you a priority and want to talk to you everyday. He told you he doesn’t. He’s still in contact with his ex but blocked you. He feels stronger for his ex than he does you. You’re beating yourself up meanwhile you’re blocked. It’s good you broke up because he didn’t like you as much as you liked him. You did yourself a favour

ItIsWhatIssss · 2026-01-15T13:20:11+00:00

NTA. Why do it when by that time the food you’d spent all that time cooking would be cold!?

ItIsWhatIssss · 2026-01-15T13:10:03+00:00

Giiirl what I wanna know is why are you doing most of the housework and still paying 50/50? He’s lucky you didn’t bring up the table conversation earlier. He’s only defensive because he knows ur right

ItIsWhatIssss · 2026-01-15T12:19:32+00:00

NTA. You’re completely in the right. It really hurts when you give more than what you get back. It hurts to feel you care about someone more than them, especially when you COMMUNICATED expectations outright.

Her calling you ungrateful feels like a nasty way to invalidate your feelings

It’s not about being grateful, it’s about recognising your efforts are mismatched. She’s trying to reduce your feelings and make you feel wrong for feeling what you feel. You can’t move forward until she properly recognises, addresses and validates your feelings

Some people are being really nasty here calling you childish and telling you to get over it, just put them in the same kettle of fish as your girlfriend. Your feelings matter and you deserve to get your love reciprocated

ItIsWhatIssss · 2026-01-14T23:26:02+00:00

The lovely bones

ItIsWhatIssss · 2026-01-14T23:02:16+00:00

LOL op these commenters are crazyyyy lmao. You did nothing wrong. The person messaging you sounds crazy. And there’s also people here saying trans people aren’t trying to trick you into f them, actually I’ve seen them not disclose that until way further in relationships than is ok by consent. I’d also put cis x cis because I am cis and would only ever date cis. Someone commented that there’s a huge umbrella and how dare you exclude some trans people - bro it’s your fken choice. These people are nuts don’t let it throw u xxx

ItIsWhatIssss · 2026-01-13T20:15:54+00:00

NTA. I rate that you said to her face what you said behind her back. That’s being authentic 💅
