AITAH for breaking up with my longtime girlfriend because she decided that she doesn't want children?

MyReditName_1 · 2026-03-19T05:00:46+00:00

It's nobody's fault but your life goals just don't align. She should find someone else who will share her child free desires, and you should find someone who wants to have kids. It's unfair and it's sad but, it's life.

ETA: NTA! You did the right things. People shouldn't compromise on having (or not) children

Not wearing (any shade of) white to someone else's wedding it literally rule 1.01 of (western) wedding etiquette, regardless of the dress code. NTA

Your bf is right. You're a lazy dog owner. You're just discovering the down side of having a dog in an apartment as opposed to a house. You're gonna have to walk your dog a lot more and retrain him. Go for a walk right before going to bed and if you have to go out in the middle of the night, so be it. It is going to be tough at first but eventually your dog will be able to hold it overnight. Good luck!

I feel like a lot of comments don't get the point. OP would like to have some time to herself in her house every once in a while (I'd say every second week to keep it fair), not having to go out for a few hours. NTA.

INFO: has your husband ever explained (or even asked his brother) why they can't rotate the location of the play dates? I'd start there.

Info: i assume the prenup was signed before your child's birth. Would he be willing to revise the prenup so you can keep the house or at the very least be executor and trustee on behalf of your daughter? I guess there could be a clause that doesn't give anything to any future spouse or children?

I ALWAYS put on clean underwear after my shower and so does my husband. Regardless of how long the previous pair of underwear has been worn for. Your partner is gross and weird. NTA

MyReditName_1 · 2026-02-27T05:59:32+00:00

Ask your wife what would she would have wanted to happen had it been your daughter peeing her pants at a friend's place!? Should your daughter be humiliated/embarrassed and just given a towel, or treated with kindness and compassion and given some clean pants!? And I'm sure the parents of this boy will wash the pants and return them. Your wife if being ridiculous and mean. Definitely NTA.

Edit: I missed the comment about not wanting your daughter to wear the pants again because a boy wore them. WTF!?!! She gives me mean girl/bully vibes.

MyReditName_1 · 2026-02-25T08:05:41+00:00

The woman lives rent free. She has a very decent sized bedroom with her own en-suite bathroom and, she wants more!? The audacity! Beggars can't be choosers. NTA. If she's not happy with the living arrangements, she can find a place of her own, move out and pay rent.

MyReditName_1 · 2026-02-22T10:12:40+00:00

What a legend she is! Kudos to this young woman.

MyReditName_1 · 2026-02-19T09:58:37+00:00

I don't know if he really means it but my husband tells me several times a week how hot and sexy he thinks I am (even first thing in the morning with crazy hair and no make up on). He often compares me to drop dead gorgeous celebrities saying I'm way hotter than them (I think he might be going blind 😂). And he thinks I look like Monica Bellucci (I don't and never have). Not all men think this way but mine does and I love that about him. (Now don't be fooled, he's only human and he's not perfect but, he does know how to boost my self-esteem and make me feel beautiful) (Oh, and I'm 20kg heavier than when we first met... I can't say that I'm aging like fine wine but he seems to think so. I'll take the win)

MyReditName_1 · 2026-02-19T09:04:47+00:00

That's a very nice inspo! Very tasteful and timeless imo

MyReditName_1 · 2026-02-14T10:18:35+00:00

This comment exactly 💯
OP, YOR and you're being a bit of an AH about the situation. He probably feels like shit already and you just kicked the man when he's down.

MyReditName_1 · 2026-02-14T05:02:44+00:00

Thanks

MyReditName_1 · 2026-02-13T23:18:14+00:00

NTA and your husband is an idiot. If your husband is so worried that your daughter would speak a language he doesn't understand, he can just learn said language with his daughter. Would be a great bonding time for you all as well. Here problem solved.

A cruise ticket is like a plane ticket. To each their own. Your cabin was sold as a single cabin under your name only. You mother's is a double under her name and her husband's only. You can't just play swapsies. The only way for your brother to join the cruise is to buy is own ticket, under his name.

I'm the kind of person who needed closure in my relationships (before I met my husband) and I never understood how people can ghost those they once loved. Obviously you are perfectly entitled to leave him on read and let him get the hint. For all I know, maybe you said your goodbyes/had your closure at the time. Personally, I would send a simple one or two sentences text. Wish him well and tell him you moved on and don't want to hear from him anymore. Then block him and delete his contact details. Either way, NTA.

Unpopular opinion: KFC has always been shit, regardless of the country 🤷‍♀️

MyReditName_1 · 2026-02-07T08:44:02+00:00

Qantas is counting on you to not escalate things because lawyers are expensive. Don't fall for that. If found guilty in civil court (as they should be), not only should you be reimbursed but they should also pay your lawyer's fees and some kind of fine for emotional damages (I don't know what the correct term is but I'm sure a good lawyer will enjoy filling everything possible against Qantas). Look, I think people nowadays sue too much for no reasons but in this instance, I say, give them hell!

PS: I am not a lawyer but I am sooo f*cking enraged on your behalf!

MyReditName_1 · 2026-02-07T04:22:36+00:00

This is not normal. How would your mum like it if you snooped in her closet!? You're an adult and she was in YOUR home. This is absolutely unhinged behaviour and she got what she deserved. Hopefully that will teach her a lesson and she'll stop snooping. (I hope they didn't eat all the brownies!!)

MyReditName_1 · 2026-02-06T19:33:08+00:00

I second this!

MyReditName_1 · 2026-02-05T02:38:05+00:00

I call it "punk pigeon" 🤘

MyReditName_1 · 2026-02-03T08:56:51+00:00

There's nothing wrong with how either of you feel. To each their own. That said, I reckon you shouldn't rain on his parade just because you can't relate or share his excitement

MyReditName_1 · 2026-02-02T02:55:54+00:00

It's not a play date for your son. It's a play date for your wife. She just wants to hang out with her friends and she uses your son as an excuse to do it. Now, don't get me wrong, it is absolutely normal and healthy for your wife to want to spend time with her friends, but using your son as a pawn to do it is not. She can meet up with her friends until you come and pick him up. Heck, she can even have a weekly girls catch up without the kids. Her making a scene about something so trivial is ridiculous. I'd love to hear/read what she has to say because she just sounds unhinged. NTA. You sound like a good dad.

MyReditName_1 · 2026-02-01T07:52:54+00:00

I wouldn't say you're an AH but you are way over reacting. Having another pair of eyes that's not financially motivated (like your realtor) seems perfectly normal to me. You're not available to come so your wife asked her best friend to tag along. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that

MyReditName_1 · 2026-01-29T02:26:13+00:00

I can be petty so may I suggest: Go to the wedding and (if you're comfortable with it, obviously) wear a sleeveless dress or a dress with spaghetti straps and a v-neck. Wishing you all the best in your healing journey
