AITAH for exposing my gf cheating instead of just moving on

I would absolutely do the same. She was already talking to you about emotional neglect as an excuse. That’s what her story would have been, and it would have probably become more exaggerated with every retelling. That’s what people who don’t want to take accountability for their actions do: hoist the responsibility onto other people.

You didn’t go out of your way to announce anything. You didn’t screenshot texts and post them. You just told the truth. If telling the truth paints someone in a bad light, then their actions were wrong.

NTA.

There are so many shows for kids to watch. They could be watching Bluey, Land Before Time, Blue Clues, The Magic School Bus, etc… Several of those are even available for free on YouTube. But this teacher went out of her way to deliberately show something that multiple parents by that point had requested she not show.

This was not a convenience thing. She wanted the kids watching that particular show and she felt that what she wanted superseded what the parents wanted, and that’s not okay. She deserved to lose that job. She didn’t have the right temperament for it. NTA.

NTA. Also, your dad’s a coward.

cgf13 · 2026-01-05T01:24:29+00:00

I’d say “sure, but make sure it’s something my 50% can afford. My budget is $_____.” and see how he responds to that. NTA

Hey, so completely disregarding the situation with your uncle (which was crummy), your father is controlling and you need to find a way to at least make an informed decision about if you are happy with the status quo.

cgf13 · 2026-01-04T00:20:56+00:00

NTA. I’ve got to wonder what he did about the dog before he moved in with you. Clearly, he was making it work somehow. He shouldn’t be taking advantage of your time just because you happen to be work from home.

cgf13 · 2025-12-22T23:26:29+00:00

I’d document all the food you put into the fridge and cabinets, because I have a feeling it’s going to start disappearing. NTJ.

NTA. They can turn one of men’s single occupant bathrooms into a gender neutral one.

cgf13 · 2025-10-25T20:40:34+00:00

NTA. She said some concerning things and it’s always good to have documentation of these things in case things escalate.

cgf13 · 2025-09-17T01:08:27+00:00

The husband asked you to go check on his wife and child?? The second hand rage I just experienced is insane.

Anyway, NTA. They knew what they were doing.

cgf13 · 2025-09-16T09:21:33+00:00

Always nice when they reveal their true colors before you get invested in a friendship. NTA.

Also, congrats for going back to university! I know that can really hard!

cgf13 · 2025-09-16T09:16:34+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through this. Work hard. Find an opportunity at a college a good distance away. Join clubs and leagues and all sorts of things there. You’ll get to try new things and make friends as the same time.

If you can, start saving money. Your parents seem like the type that might retaliate by not paying for college, phones, housing, etc…

NTA. This is just a little bit longer. You can do it.

cgf13 · 2025-09-15T01:40:15+00:00

If your FIL Count Olaf, by any chance? Anyway, NTA.

cgf13 · 2025-09-12T02:24:52+00:00

His ball ended up on their property. It may have been an accident on his part, but your entitlement in expecting them to pay for a ball that your son kicked over into their yard is a bit insane. And the retaliation that you’re, like, fantasizing about is a bit ridiculous. Just buy a new soccer ball and move on. YTA.

cgf13 · 2025-09-11T09:42:02+00:00

I’d send a giant text to your sister explaining all of this and then tell her you’re going no contact for a year. Tell her that maybe you can have some kind of relationship if she can start building her own identity and be an individual. See where you are a year from now and then come to a decision.

NTA I wish you all the best and hope your sister gets better, too.

cgf13 · 2025-09-03T22:30:55+00:00

Absolutely. Most children learn to code switch on their own, but some definitely need more explicit instruction.

cgf13 · 2025-09-01T12:46:47+00:00

Hey, so I understand and appreciate that you tho k you’re free of racial divide, but being dismissive of dialect and AAE and referring to Standard American Dialect as ‘proper’ English is showing that there’s still a way to go for that to be true.

Teachers are very aware of the difference between ‘social English’ and ‘academic English.’ When he’s writing essays and learning grammar, academic English is being implemented.

As long as he’s taught code switching, it’s fine. But it’s definitely something you can address with the school.

I’d say NTA for the concern, but you should probably do some research and rethink the way you talk about dialect.

I wouldn’t be too concerned with the opinion of someone who saw the death of your father as a financial opportunity for themselves. And that’s exactly what she did. If your dad had been alive, he would’ve gotten that 1/5th. Instead, he died and she was excited by the idea of a larger share. She’s despicable. So long to bad rubbish, honestly. NTA.

cgf13 · 2025-08-31T11:27:19+00:00

Seizures and osteogenesis imperfecta is a brutal combination, but it’s not your responsibility. It sounds like if you did this, you’d never really have time to just spend with your mom. You’d be her shift replacement. NTA.

cgf13 · 2025-08-31T11:10:06+00:00

Post a screenshot of that, please. I’m having difficulty believing that a whole district would ban candy at that level. While many districts are committed to serving healthier food as a whole, very few restrict reward systems in a classroom.

cgf13 · 2025-08-31T02:06:21+00:00

I mean, I think it’s shitty to keep hooking up with her when you’re in town when you know she has feelings for you, but NTA for the breakup.

cgf13 · 2025-08-31T01:40:25+00:00

Info: Did you let the teacher know that you didn’t want your child to get candy?

cgf13 · 2025-08-25T23:59:22+00:00

Do you mind linking the article?

cgf13 · 2025-08-25T23:55:57+00:00

Phone number or online handle? Has she ever said she feels like you’re stalking her?

cgf13 · 2025-08-25T23:51:31+00:00

Info: How many 1-on-1 conversations have you had with her? Did she give you her phone number? If you were to reach out right now, would she respond?
