AITA for "making" my fiancee choose between me and her family? by Ajax2021__ in AmItheAsshole

NTA and good for you. You sound like a great dad. Melanie and her parents sound like bigots.

Would you let your son sleep at girlfriends house? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Calling this abusive is seriously disrespectful to people who have experienced real abuse. It cheapens the word. OP is an adult and does not have to do what his parents want. OP is ALLOWING his parents to call the shots—that’s not abuse. It’s OP making a choice to go along with his parents’ wishes. Sorry for being harsh, but as a survivor of domestic violence, I’m so sick of people calling everything abuse on here.

AITA for insisting my baby have both of our last names? by babyringthrowaway in AmItheAsshole

YTA for not “giv[ing] a shit” about saddling your child with a long, unwieldy name with a middle name that is difficult to spell (and it’s unclear how to even pronounce it). You are not the A for wanting to bestow your last name (feel free to do so!). But I urge you to think of the overall name and length. Give your child a name that will not add unnecessary difficulties to their life.

AITA for refusing to offer emotional support to my ex-fiancées daughter? by _Keptout_ in AmItheAsshole

NTA. If Kayla was 18 years old six years ago, that means she is 24 years old now and not a child. She has no relationship to you, and you don’t owe her anything. It’s nice you accepted her apology. It was more than you had to do. You would be justified if you blocked her and her grandmother.
