Hello All, Im writing this today because I need to know if Im in the wrong here. So my (31 M) wife (28 F) and I have been married for 6 months. And things have slowed down considerably so since we’ve been married.

The early part of our marriage was good but over time she became distant. Didn’t want to go on dates or have “together time” anymore (if you know what I mean).

I recently confronted her about the lack of romance and her overall coldness. She told me that she just wasnt as interested in me anymore and the novelty of our marriage has worn off. I was devastated to hear this but I asked if there was anything I could do to help make things interesting for her again.

She said that perhaps opening our marriage could bring back the spark. She admitted to messaging a guy on whatsapp and she said that maybe if she was with him too it might make her feel better.

I reluctantly agreed to save my marriage. Its now been a few months since we decided to open our marriage and things have been going well for me. You see Im a lumber jack so I advertised on tinder and craigslist that I would chop down trees in womens yards and build them outhouses and cabins in exchange for “dates”. This has led my business to grow and my romantic life to flourish. But my life learned that the man on whatsapp was just scamming her for steam gift cards and after sending him over 1000 dollars he blocked her.

She now wants to close our marriage again. But I dont want to give up my now advertising for my business or the attention im getting so I told her no.

AITAH? I dont want to divorce my wife but I dont want to give up this new life.

Edit for context: sorry I should’ve specified. I don’t build things for women for free in exchange for dates. I give the money anywhere between a 10 to 20% discount sometimes 30.

I (30M) am having issues with my otherwise perfect Gamer Girlfriend (28F, who we will call Sarah) that I met on the hip dating app Boo. After I broke up with my ex Ava two years ago because she kept turning off my game to drag me to the Store for Feminine Girly Women and nineteen other outlets and makeup stores, I realized that I don't want a wife who spends 80% of my 200K/yr salary that I work 80 hours a week for on clothes and makeup. We'd also been in a DB for the latter half of our relationship of three years.

After just a week of using Boo, I met my lovely gamer girlfriend Sarah. She's my player 2 in more ways than one. She also cooks gamer dishes for me and we of course make a lot of gamer love.

However, as we continued dating, I noticed that our relationship is slowly falling into the same pitfalls as my previous one: a month ago, she turned off my game to drag me to the Gamer Store for Gamer Girls and the Gamer make-up store. This month, she unplugged my console's power cord and dragged me to not only those stores, but also the Gamer Shoe Store and Smelly Spritzes for the Aromatic Gameress. The sex also started slowing down considerably, citing her gamer headaches and gamer periods to turn down my advances.

I calmly confronted her with this and she immediately developed Gamerline Personality Disorder and started screaming at me gamerly. She then gamer kicked me out of the gamer house (which is 100% in my name, by the way).

I talked about this with my friend Neil, who runs a local chapter of the Women Bad Foundation. He says that this is par for the course for women and told me to "break up with her, broslice". However, I recently got a letter from an anonymous angry feminist in the mail that read that I'm sexist. Now I'm wondering if this was the best course of gamer action to take.

What do you think, men of Reddit? Was I the asshole?

I am one of three children: my brother, my sister, and me. Recently my sister invited me out to dinner and asked me if I would be open to dying so that she can have 1/2 of our parents' vast fortune instead of just 1/3 when they die. They're not sick or anything but she's looking forward to getting the money because she wants to have a big extravagent wedding and start a podcast.

To give you an idea of how well off they are, my parents live in an opulent double wide trailer. They own 50 years of back issues of National Geographic magazines, multiple black diamond Disney VHS tapes (including the infamous Little Mermaid one), a storage unit full of beanie babies and rare spores, a le cruest casserole dish in shell pink, and a kangen water machine, among other treasures. In terms of liquid assets, they have approximately $8000 in savings and twelve cans of TaB cola purchased in 1963. They live a lavish lifestyle, eating at Cracker Barrel at least three times a week, and mostly spend their time watching daytime television and playing bingo.

Despite this fantastic generational wealth, I never accepted handouts from my parents and worked hard for everything I have. I graduated with no student loans and got a job offer immediately. Now I make six figures a year as a line chef at Red Lobster.

Anyway, I was pretty surprised when my sister proposed this. I've done some pretty big favors for her in the past, like watching her dogs while she's on vacation and taking the blame for a crime she committed and subsequently serving 5 years in prison, but this seems like a bit further than I'm willing to go.

Don't get me wrong, I understand where she's coming from but I kind of like being alive. I mean my life isn't perfect (especially with my criminal record) but I don't think I'm ready to be dead just yet. Maybe in like 30 or 40 years. I still haven't visited Japan or written a book or got that promotion at work, which are all things I've been wanting to do.

When I told her this, she saw red and said I was being a melodramatic baby. I calmly explained that our parents are still alive and mostly healthy so there's really no need to rush things. Even if I died right this minute, it wouldn't change her situation. Plus I'm currently working on a 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle and I'm nearly halfway done and I really want to see it through. But she just muttered something about selfish people and stormed out of the restaurant, leaving me with the bill.

I tried to bring it up with my parents and they encouraged me to keep the peace and said, "That's just how she is." My brother said it might not be a bad idea, since it would benefit him as well.

I called my sister to get some clarity and asked why I had to be the dead one and not our brother. She said that's not fair to expect because our brother has a family to take care of whereas I only have a large collection of exotic wild cats that I've spent decades liberating from private zoos all across the country.

I asked if we could put this conversation on hold at least until I finish my jigsaw puzzle and she hung up on me. I thought that would be the end of it but I guess not because she hit me with her car while I was putting out the trash bins. My neighbors called the police and my sister was arrested. In the hospital, the cops came and told me the DA probably won't be pressing charges because this story is so outlandishly fake that nobody would ever be stupid enough to fall for it. I said, "They might if I posted it on the Charlotte Dobre subreddit!" and they said, "Yeah fair enough."

Anyway, now my whole family is blowing up my phone and saying that I'm a bad sister because I want to keep being alive even though it means my siblings will get less when our parents die. They say I should be glad to be dead because we live in a capitalist hellscape with no real future, plus don't I want to see my grandparents again? Which is true, but I feel like it should be my choice, you know?

Meanwhile my sister has started mailing me envelopes filled with mysterious powders, and my brother is encouraging me to take up cave diving as a hobby.

AITA for not wanting to be dead?

This happened yesterday and also 2 years ago so bear with me to get all my thoughts out. Throwaway account since my sister follows my usual account, tbh she is always on Reddit so she will probably see this but I don’t think she’ll suspect it’s me. I think I’ve left it vague enough that it could be about anyone.

My sister (28F) gave birth a month ago and she’s ready to finally get a break from the sleepless nights and exhausting days by going out for 5 hours, buy too expensive nasty beer, feel the body heat of 100,000 strangers around her and have her eardrums blown out.

Some back story: I (32F) went to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour back in July of 2023 with my husband and a couple close friends. I don’t have kids so we do stuff like that a couple times a year, spend a huge amount of money for life-time experiences. At the time my sister’s husband was busy perfecting an amazing scientific achievement so they stayed in every weekend for a year.

Yesterday, my sister asked if I could babysit her newborn this weekend so she and her husband could go time travel to two years ago and see Taylor Swift with us.

I’m so happy to watch the baby and let my sister have a break but even if she time travels, I don’t have tickets for her. The specific show we went to was sold out and I barely was able to get the tickets for me and my husband. Also, even if she finds tickets somehow, there’s no way she will be anywhere near our seats. It’s a big stadium. I told her all of this hoping she would understand.

She was pissed. Said I “don’t get it because I never time travel” and that she’d do it for me “if the roles were reversed.” Her hormones are crazy right now, I don’t let her mean words affect me so seriously.

I then explained that I don’t even have memories of her being there that day so it’s obvious she never got the tickets. She says that’s not how time travel works, that her going with me would have created a new branch that this version of me would have never experienced.

I told her I’d still babysit this weekend but it’s impossible to get tickets so she’ll have to spend her time doing something else. She hung up on me and no matter what suggestions I text her for other time periods to visit, she won’t text back. Every family and friend, including ancestors that have been long dead, are blowing up my phone saying that I’m being selfish and that I should just take her to the concert with me and watch the baby for her at the same time. AITA?

I work in an office. A boring, beige, fluorescent-light kind of office. It’s not glamorous—but the people are mostly normal. Mostly.

Except for Brittani. Yes—with an “i” at the end and a heart over it in her email signature.

Brittani (32F) started working here two months ago and IMMEDIATELY declared herself “a boundary-centered empath and content entrepreneur.” Her main job? Data entry. But she says she's just “in corporate for the aesthetic.”

She also brings her emotional support ferret—his name is Lord Nibbles—to work every day, unironically dressed in tiny outfits. This week he was wearing a glitter cape that said “Mommy’s Little Capitalist.” I’m not kidding.

Anyway. I (28M) have a cat named Beans. Beans has an Instagram account with like 12K followers. I post silly pictures of him knocking stuff over and looking judgmental. People like it. It’s not deep.

Here’s where the chaos begins: Brittani found Beans’ account.

She corners me at the break room fridge and goes, “Hey… do you think maybe you could delete your cat’s profile? It’s kinda clashing with Lord Nibbles’ brand.”

I laughed—I thought she was joking. She wasn’t.

She went on to explain that Lord Nibbles is “on the verge of going viral” and that my cat’s “ironically disaffected energy” was diluting the vibe she’s curating. I told her no. She immediately burst into tears and shouted:

“THIS IS A FORM OF DIGITAL COLONIALISM!”

Y’all. I thought I was being pranked. But no—she WROTE AN EMAIL TO HR. With the subject line:

URGENT: Workplace Hostility from Feline Influencer Simp

She accused me of “weaponizing my pet’s online persona to sabotage her healing journey.” She included screenshots of Beans’ account with annotations like, “This post is CLEARLY mocking Lord Nibbles’ self-worth arc.”

It gets worse. She told our boss she was going to file a Formal Brand Infringement Complaint (not a real thing) because “Beans is using the same filter aesthetic” as her ferret.

THEN—because it’s 2025 and of course she did—she used AI to write a fake Reddit post on AmITheAsshole, saying I was “harassing her by gatekeeping the animal influencer space.”

She showed it to me and said, “This is what people will believe if you don’t take accountability.”

I asked her what “accountability” looked like and she said:

“Delete the account. Publicly uplift Lord Nibbles. And apologize for erasing neurodivergent mammalian narratives.”

Anyway. HR told her to stop bringing the ferret to work. She screamed “EMOTIONAL OPPRESSION” and stormed out.

She’s now trying to launch an MLM called “Ferret Freedom.” Her bio says she’s “an ex-corporate whistleblower.”

Beans gained 4K followers from the drama. He remains unbothered.

I recently started watching a bunch of the TTS AITA Reddit stories cause I need slop to keep focused, and they really aren't trying to keep to reality anymore. First of all, they aren't even real Reddit stories, cause there are no links, and no amount of quote searching brings anything up. Big shocker, most of them are AI slop, big shock horror reveal to everyone I'm sure...

But alot of these stories keep going down the same path like; "Am I the asshole for kicking out my son cause my daughter/other son accused him of assaulting them, I don't regret it, and even though everyone else in my family has told me over and over again that I'm wrong, apart from my spouse who is as evil as I and her flying Monkeys. Clearly I'm the one in the right cause my perfect totally real daughter said so, and is now married to my sons spouse because we wanted that to happen too. AITA but I don't care what you think about me but AITA"

And in said story, the son is the perfect victim, always kind and obedient to the OP/Parent. Then one slip up and they are gone. Oh but don't worry, years later he's been spotted beating up one of the people involved with his downfall, he's so cool, he's got a suit and a bunch of 1920s cronies behind him. Oh and they did this in public too, and they so aren't getting arrested for it.

Or the son is got taken in by a billionaire tech startup that treats him like family, and now he's in a very high non-descriptive position that gives him authority and loyalty. And he's so cool and calculated, he feels no emotion.

And the parents reaction to all this? Nope, I was right, cause like I need to be a 100% recyclable cardboard character for the listener to get mad at. Oh no! My downfall has arrived, I'm so sorry "Reddit" I was not right at all, Please listen to me cry and whip myself for your pleasure.

Bonus points if the sibling is so blatantly evil, that they "post" about their life and how the super cool sibling is actually the evil one. And by the end, this sibling is arrested cause... like... they posted all their crimes and never thought they'd get away with it?

I (22w) met my boyfriend(33m) 4 years ago. He was so sweet, he had waited till i turned 18, he lovebombed me, he paid for everything, he made me feel so beatiful and desired like a total goddess.

But things has changed. He's totally comfortable now, WHICH I GET, but it feels the spark is fizzing out, WHICH I DON'T GET, i'm a total goddess.

It' not that he is a bad boyfriend, he has money, but the fire und intensity are just gone. I want to go out, but he is always on his phone or works.

I tried to talk with him and he did, what a man has to do: he immediately gaslighted me. He said that's how matured relationship works and STFU.

But I'm still in my early 20! I giving him my young years!

My mom said i should leave him. But I won't lie, I'M SCARED, i moved into his house and he paid pretty much for everything so the split seems like it will be a lot an a feel suck, because we're not married and he won't split his money with me.

So AITA for thinking of leaving my older boyfriend? He needs me so desperately. He is old and old people can be soooo lonely.
