WIBTA if I intentionally included an allergen in some food so a racist couldn't eat it?

I (21M, white) recently found out that I have to attend a Thanksgiving meal with a terrible fucking person. My boyfriend "Tim" wants to go to his old roommate's/best friend's (Jacob) Thanksgiving. Jacob is great! He and Tim have been friends since they were kids, and Tim used to spend a lot of time at Jacob's house since his own home life was... not great. And Jacob's immediate family is wonderful, as well. However, Jacob's uncle "Dickwad" is racist. I went to Jacob's Thanksgiving last year and Dickwad was a dickwad. It started out okay, he and I talked about cars, but after a few beers Dickwad was very clearly racist. He also kept bragging about how he threatened a homeless man with a gun (the homeless man was trying to break into his car - it's pretty common in this area) and called him several racist derogatory terms. He never said the N-word, but it was only a matter of time, so I left quickly.

Well, Tim wants to go again this year. Everyone hates Dickwad but Jacob's parents say they can't NOT invite him since he's their brother. I say cut the bitch off, but it's not my family, and I don't want to leave Tim alone there since Dickwad has been cruel to Tim before (Tim is Asian and queer, but Dickwad thinks me and Tim are just friends and no one is about to tell him differently) and since I don't get to see Jacob that often. The rest of Jacob's family is chill and I know they would be disappointed if I didn't come.

Well, Tim recently informed me that if I'm making something to bring to Thanksgiving, Dickwad is allergic to cumin. How allergic? Not much. He'd get hives if he ate it, but he's fine being near it, touching it, etc. He just can't consume it. Everyone knows I love to cook, and I'm a damn good cook, too. So I'm planning on making something with cumin so Dickwad can't have any, because fuck him, and fuck his guns, too. No one else there is allergic to cumin. I figured if anyone asks, I'll tell them I didn't know/forgot. I asked Jacob what he thought and he thought it would be hilarious and told me to do it. I haven't said anything to Tim because he's a lot nicer and will probably try to stop me.

I don't know if this will get posted in time, but whatever. WIBTA if I put an allergen in food so a racist piece of shit can't eat it?

AITA for torturing my younger brother to get him to tell me where my scumbag of a creator is so I can kill him?

allow me to explain. when I (18 HH) was first created, my creator(? HMN) attempt to murder me and nearly killed me by not saving my file. how i survived is not important. but after that enconter, i planned my revenge upon him. as i did so, my creator made 2 other sticks, sticks, one of which is my aforementioned brother (18 HH), which i will refer to as C. He committed several war crimes and is kinda a little &%#$@ ngl.

He was however my only link towards my creator, so i put out wanted posters and sent mercenaries to catch him. after they did that, i had them put him in a reality controlling box so i can him the same way my creator tortured me. i had never interacted with him prior.

after fighting him, i tied him to a chair and began asking him where my creator was. He refuse to answer so I got a memory scanner, gently placed it on his face, and began searching through his private memories.

I think what i did was perfectly reasonable. I wanted to take revenge on my creator, and C did not cooperate. Besides, after all he's done he kinda deserved it anyway.

AITA for joining a "cult" that thinks my sister and mom are Darkfriends?

First, some backstory. I (30m) have always been an outsider in my family. It wasn't anything to do with my parents - dad (dead) always spent all his time with me instead of my younger siblings, and (step)mom (43f) always gave me extra attention compared to her bio kids because she didn't want me to feel neglected - or with my brother (21m), who's always looked up to me. It was all because of my sister (19f). She's hated and bullied me ever since she was a toddler, and I have no idea why. I guess maybe she doesn't think I'm her real brother, or blames me for telling on her whenever she did irresponsible things like climb trees and talk to strangers. All I've ever done is try to keep her safe, but she's never appreciated it.

Anyway, there's this organization (my sister claims it's a cult, though I don't think that's fair) that's dedicated to serving the Light. My mom always hated them and kept them banned from our country because she thinks they have an agenda against women who can channel, and she's one herself, as is my sister. I used to believe her, but after reading one book written by the organization's founder, I realized that my mom has a totally biased view of them and they're actually doing really important work founded on admirable principles. So when my sister went missing at the hands of women who can channel, I decided I'd had enough of those women lying to everyone all the time and I joined this organization.

I did have my view of them shaken when I found out my mom had been kidnapped, abused, and murdered by one of their leaders (turns out she's actually still alive though, don't worry about that), but I challenged that leader to an honorable duel and killed him to avenge my mom, and my friends and I rooted out a handful of other corrupt members of the organization, so now with that small minority gone, the rest of us can continue doing the Light's work and spreading awareness of the evils of the One Power.

To be clear, I OBVIOUSLY don't think my sister and mom are Darkfriends; it's only everyone else who uses the One Power who is. I've explained this to my sister multiple times but it only makes her angrier instead of grateful that I'm making an exception for her and choosing to believe the best of her. It feels like I can never do anything right in her eyes, but maybe I've somehow got the wrong understanding of the situation. So, AITA?

******

u/dainbornhald: NTA. Your sister's problem isn't actually that you joined this organization (which totally does sound 100% Light-serving). She doesn't think you're her real brother and is just looking for any excuse to continue the bullying, manipulation, and gaslighting she's been using on you since she was a toddler. [+5k votes] u/childbyar: Came here to say this. Sister sounds like a textbook abuser, and, honestly, almost definitely a Darkfriend. I'd go no contact with her, OP, and maybe get a restraining order if you have to - she's obviously unhinged. [+1.2k votes]

u/amyrlinseat: You joined a cult that thinks your sister is a Darkfriend based on an innate characteristic about her that she didn't choose and can't change (unlike you, who DID choose to join this cult), and you're whining that she's mad at you for it??? YTA [-749 votes]

u/luckyfox: YTA for the cult thing, but this whole family's got serious mommy AND daddy issues (take it from an expert). Sister resents you for getting all your parents' attention growing up, and you have a victim complex about being a stepchild/half-brother. I can only wonder what might be going on with the middle brother who wasn't mentioned much here. You guys need to go to therapy. [+2 votes] u/galaddamodred [OP]: My brother always seemed very well-adjusted, but a few hours after I made this post he actually died going on a suicide charge in battle because he thought he was unimportant enough to risk and no one would care much if he died in the attempt. Which sucks because now the only sibling I've got left is my sister who hates me. [+273 votes] u/luckyfox: oh my god [+312 votes]

AITA for sacking a kingdom? Title sounds bad but I’m in the right. Someone’s making me post this. So here’s the story. My brothers (860-750M) and I (813M) have spent hundreds of years fighting to recover my father’s greatest works of craft, which were stolen by the evil tyrant (∞M) who killed my grandfather. My father and brothers and I all swore a mighty oath that we WILL recover my father’s masterpieces, and kill whoever tries to keep them from us. (The fact that we swore this oath is COMMON KNOWLEDGE. This will be relevant later.) It was also my father’s last wish, when he died in the fight against the evil tyrant, that my brothers and I keep our word and get his works back for our family. But unfortunately the evil tyrant is stupidly powerful, so despite all our best efforts we haven’t been able to get our family’s sacred heirlooms back from him. That brings me to my question. See, a few decades back a rival king sent this guy who was in love with his daughter to steal one of our heirlooms from the tyrant AND BRING IT BACK TO HIM, THE RIVAL KING. And the king’s daughter ran away and helped the guy, and they both somehow got incredibly lucky and succeeded. So this other king had one of our treasures, right? Which HE KNEW was ours by right, but he wasn’t about to give it back. And his kingdom was walled off with magic, so we couldn’t really do anything about it - though I wanted to figure out a way! But my oldest brother M said no, that this was the time to try for the other two, because if that guy and the princess could manage it then why not us? And M and another king got together this huge alliance to attack the evil tyrant, and it was an absolute disaster. Everybody died - well, not EVERYBODY, but you get what I mean. The other king died. Not the thief one, sadly - he didn’t even show up - I mean my brother M’s ally. The evil tyrant completely won, and me and my brothers had to go on the run from him, and M was a complete mess about the other king’s death. Anyway. So the thief king ignored ALL OF THIS and sat around in his magic kingdom while the evil tyrant’s armies rampaged across the continent. But then he got killed in this incredibly stupid way, getting in a fight with some dwarves over OUR HEIRLOOM, and the kingdom lost its protection because the thief king’s magic wife was too sad to do magic or something, I don’t know, anyway. The thief king’s grandson (36M) got the throne, and we wrote to him and told him he needed to give our heirloom back to us right away. And he writes back and TELLS US TO GET OUR OWN. FROM THE EVIL TYRANT. Y’know, the thing we TRIED TO DO AND EVERYBODY DIED? The thing HIS OWN GRANDFATHER decided not to help with because he didn’t like us personally, never mind THE FATE OF THE ACTUAL WORLD? So yeah, we marched on the idiot grandson and sacked his kingdom and killed him. Like our oath required of us. WHICH HE KNEW. And bla, bla, I died in the process - stabbed Idiot Grandson before I went, so that’s something - and now the guy in charge of dead people is making me ask you all if I was wrong. So AITA for killing a thief who knew what he was getting into?

abyss I need Slade doing the am I the asshole but with his relationship with Dick. And he’s like “his father is younger than me. And disapproves. Problematic? Also my boyfriend is 23 and pregnant. Thanks.”

Tim would obviously find the account and flip his shit

This had me cackling, very specific request. (fuck how old is Slade again?), also this would probably be something he gets advised for going to the relationships thread (okay not anymore after I edited my first idea) (I'm talking like I know and use reddit xD I just see some screenshots)

fullfilled the first part of the prompt but not the second, hope you're happy anyways

AITA threatening to whisk my partner away after his father threatened to make us break up?

I'm gonna be frank, I only am writing this because my boyfriend thinks it's a funny idea.

Aparently the fact that I was a teenager while my partners adopted father was just a child is one of the man's main concerns and he tries to bring it up ever single time we see each other. If it's not that it's about my job and what I do and the rules he tries to impose upon me for being "part of the family now" or when I'm in his home city.

I think he's being unreasonable and needlessly concerned. It's not like the he is much older than my partner, age-wise they're more like brothers than father and son (not to mention that the whole family relationships are a mess anyway, I swear they change it every few months just to fuck with me)

After he learned my partner was pregnant he threatened me with several bodily harm and a promise to ensure that I would never be able to touch my partner again or be able to come near him, much less see my child. He even tried to imply that he would try to convince my partner to abort but we are all aware that my partner wants to have children and wouldn't listen to such a request. (Also the Bastard is weak for children as well so that was most likely a bluff to begin with).

Upon this I told him that if he even tried to seperate me and my partner I would flee the country and move somewhere where even the bastard wouldn't be able to find us.

He took this very seriously and got even more problematic, instead of backing down (not that that was to be expected). His... there is no good word to describe that person, my partners adopted grandparent disapproved of my choice of words and tried to tell me I was very out of line for it.

I do not think I am in the wrong whatsoever, nor does my partner. We are both allowed to do what we want with our own lives and I think it would actually be helpful if my partner left the controlling clutches of his father, at least for long enough to raise our child.

While the rest of the family is a bit wary of me it is for very different reasons and no one else has opposed our relationship yet. (Ignoring my partners youngest brother but that's more childish jealousy from suddenly having to share my partners attention with me.)

So am I the asshole for threatening to distance myself and my partner from his adoptive father until he learns to calm down about our relationship?

neoforhero NTA for sure, sounds like your partners father has some serious control issues, while I think you might have reacted a bit extreme it seems to be something that has been building up for a while. (He tries to control your behaviour when you enter the city??? Who does he think he is? Fricking Batman?

AITA for trying to stop the apocalypse?

I (7,000,000,000M) have been spending the last two years trying to stop my brother (>7,000,000,000M) from trying to end the world. I didn't tell my friend (31M) because he's had enough problems to deal with, and there isn't much he could do anyway. Instead, I have been working with this other guy (349M) whom we've both worked with before.

Things got a bit more complicated when my friend and his brother (27M) got into a disagreement with my new business partner, and I had to help my business partner fake his death to keep our arrangement secret. At this point, I was mainly just keeping it from my friend because I knew he would get mad if he found out how long I'd been keeping it to myself.

Somehow, despite my best efforts, my friend found out, and sure enough, he got mad. He laid a trap for me and forced me to come clean, but he didn't want to listen. It seemed like he cared less about my brother trying to bring about the apocalypse and more my business associate. (I may be wrong, but he might have accused me of cheating with my business partner? Even though I have done nothing with that demon that wasn't strictly necessary for sealing our arrangement)

Now he's refusing to support me, despite my best efforts to explain myself. And that's after he dealt with the same business partner to end another apocalypse two years prior. His insistence is making me question things, but I see no other alternative.

In conclusion, am I the asshole?

AITA for breaking my brother up with his girlfriend?

u/PrincessCaroline

I (F20) have a friend “Jane” (F22). I thought she was a very sweet girl, but then I began to suspect that she only was hanging out with me because of my brother (M23), who is an absolute catch (handsome and rich, the full package). We invited her family over for a party and her mother kept going on and on about how Jane marrying my brother would save the whole family from being poor. It was really rude.

A mutual friend of mine “Will” (M28), told us the next day at breakfast that he didn't think Jane actually liked my brother, she was just going along with her mother's plans. I agreed and we all convinced my brother to stay away and ghost her.

Here's where I might be the asshole. I sent a very passive aggressive text suggesting that Jane move on and that my brother would never marry her. I thought it was the best thing to do, I didn't want her mooning over him and wasting her precious time (she's already 22! Not much time left before she’s an old maid). But I showed the text to my friend and she thought it was a bit over the top. AITA?

Edited to Add: I do wish Jane the very best and I like her as a friend, I just don't think she's right for my brother if she doesn't love him! And Will has this really great sister that I think would be a better match (especially financially)

I’m going to go against the grain and say NTA. People here just don’t understand what it’s like having a wealthy family member. You can never tell who is getting close to you just for a chance at your brother and it really messes with your sense of trust.

In all likelihood, she’s just a gold digger. You can’t trust anyone these days.

AITA for cutting one of my (EX) friends off from my life?

Me (17F) and my friend (17X) were friends for our entire lives. We would be inseparable. We went to school together, we had sleepovers at each others houses, he was like a brother to me. Of course, there was always a bit of jealously over my skills, as he wasn't as good at school or socialising as me. He disliked that I became popular, despite the fact I always made time for him

When we got our pokemon starters (age 9) our bond only strengthened, we would train and battle each other. He always had the upper hand battling me because of type advantages... (and he might've been a tiny bit more skilled I suppose...)

We decided to go on our trainer journeys together at age 12. We didn't tell our parents, it was almost like running away.

After reaching the third gym, I managed to beat the leader, when he didn't. He got extremely angry with me, his jealously boiling over as he challenged me to a battle. I agreed even though my pokemon was worn out from the gym battle.

In this battle his pokemon proceeded to injure mine to the point of almost death, and he didn't stop it from happening. I proceeded to scream at him and break his nose before rushing my pokemon off to a centre. My pokemon is still unable to battle to this day.

I have had little to no contact with him since, but one time to taunt him, and another to argue with him.

I've been told me flat out refusing to let him back into my life after what he did makes me the asshole, that I was a bad friend to him in the first place and thats why the argument happened.

So. Rotomblr. AITA ?

(Cat OCs) AITA for getting my younger brother to ruin his parents' marriage so my mom would kill my stepdad? Okay, I know this sounds really bad, but hear me out. I (88mo F) lived in a feral cat colony. It was just me and my two moms for a while, but then this really annoying guy showed up and started flirting with one of my moms. I really didn't like that, so we fought all the time. I woke up one day to find one of my moms had died in a cave-in, and before I had a chance to grieve, I ended up getting KILLED by this guy and sent to the afterlife. Well, as it turns out, my living mom never found out, and she fell HEAD OVER HEELS for this guy, which makes him my stepdad, I guess. They had A LOT of kids together, which made me really mad. That guy was a total fraud! He killed ME, her one and only daughter, so he could fill the colony with HIS kids instead. Dead cats aren't meant to interfere much in the affairs of living cats, but one day one of my younger brothers (5mo M) caught my stepdad alone talking in his sleep about what he did, and put two and two together. So I mean, since he was already involved, I thought I may as well give him a little push in the right direction. I mean, it's not interfering to just give him a LITTLE advice. Since dead cats can't hurt living cats, I may have given him a few ideas on how to get revenge for me. And also sent him nightmares about my death so he would REALLY get why it was so important. To be clear, I DID NOT tell him to kill anyone. I would never make a kitten do something like that!! So anyway he made up a bunch of lies about them that caused them to break up, and since our mom was still the leader of the colony, eventually got her to view him as a threat to the kids and kill him behind everyone's back. I might be TA because all my siblings and even my mom were really sad and crying at his funeral, and the other cats in the afterlife are saying I ruined a perfectly good family and manipulated a child to achieve my goals, and I should have just moved on because I'm already dead and let them be happy. But I think it was justified because he killed me in cold blood, and telling my brother factual truths isn't "manipulation." So, AITA?

am I the asshole for telling my friend he's not really autistic?

I (18 f) have a friend and classmate (18 m) who recently got diagnosed with asperger's syndrome. he's a kind, soft-spoken guy and incredibly intelligent, he is a good friend to me and he's helpful to everyone in general even though he doesn't have many friends. since the day he got diagnosed with asperger's he keeps calling himself autistic and telling people he is in the autism spectrum.

the thing is, I have an autistic brother (14 m) and after helping my parents raise him I know what autism looks like. he needs a lot of support, he struggles to function, he struggles to communicate, he is someone who is actually disabled and actually autistic. I feel like my friend is trying to appropriate that label even though he doesn't struggle as much as my brother does.

so the other day my friend was talking about how everything in his life makes sense now and how he feels he finally found himself after learning he's autistic and I said "I'm not trying to be mean but you're not really autistic, you just have asperger's" and my friend looked at me as if I had just stabbed him. he hasn't answered my texts in a while and I feel terrible and like I said something ableist. I love my autistic brother to bits and I have adhd myself so I know I am not ableist but I still wonder if I am the asshole in this situation.

WIBTA if I went after my ex for child support only after I discovered that he forgot we ever dated?

It’s pretty much the title. When I was thirty, I dated this guy, and he and I slept together a couple of times, and well…

Anyway, my baby’s all grown up now. I tried to tell him that he has a kid back when I discovered I was pregnant, but he’d already broken up with me and I couldn’t get in contact with him.

Recently, these kids my son’s kind of become an adoptive big brother to got into a little bit of trouble, and his father has connections that could help them. One of those connections is another one of his exes that he wouldn’t stop talking about even while we were dating. And when I said it was nice to see my son’s father again, I kid you not, he said “I’m sorry, how did we meet again?”

Anyway, his ex and his current wife have both figured out that my son is his (He has my eyes, but he looks like his father and his father’s other kids,) but he hasn’t! He doesn’t even remember we were ever in a relationship!

So, WIBTA if I went after him for child support now even though my kid’s all grown up just purely out of spite?

Am I (65F) the asshole for refusing to pay for the wedding of son Tony (fake name 29M) and his fiancé Carl (19M) after we paid for the wedding of his younger brother Milo (22M) and his wife Julie (21F) last year. Last year when my younger son Milo got married, my soon-to-be ex husband and I paid $10,000 toward his wedding. He and his wife Julie had been dating since the end of freshman year of high school and we've known her family for even longer; they practically grew up together! And while I would never try to intentionally push my son's toward a specific partner, I'm glad her chose her. Their relationship is as healthy as can be and they're extremely compatible. Everything was going fine until 5 months ago when my older son Tony came to us asking us to contribute $10,000 to his wedding. We were taken aback as we had previously been unaware that he had a partner. We knew he was gay so his partner being male wasn't a shock; but what was a shock was the age of his partner. We initially told him we needed to hold off on deciding one way or another until we met his partner. We were introduced to Carl for the first time 6 weeks ago and it turns out that not only is he 10 years younger than my son, but they've been 'dating' 🤮 off and on for 4 years (keep in mind this would've meant that this guy was 15 and my son was 25)! When his father and I learned of this situation we immediately shut down any hope he had of us funding or taking any part in his wedding. When he asked why we both told him it was disgusting what he was doing and that he's lucky we didn't report him for this (he was also his fiancés English teacher).  I'm conflicted on if I'm handling this right.

My family is torn over this; some people think I'm the asshole for giving my son's unequal treatment due to their choice of partners while others think I'm not the asshole for standing my ground.

Edit 1: this has really blown up. So I wanted to add some things to clarify.

1. Yes Milo got another girl pregnant 2 months ago. His wife doesn't know yet, she's sterile due to childhood illness so this could be our only chance to have a biological grandchild.

2. Tony claims he and Carl haven't had sex yet and are waiting for the wedding night but I don't know if I believe them

3. Carl is a trans man (read: he used to be female) and his birth name is Carly.

Edit 2: gonna say this one last time

I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS OFFENSIVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE TRANS PEOPLE'S BIRTH NAMES!!!!!!!

Edit 3: one more thing about Tony

1. He and Carl have apparently both accused each other of domestic violence in the past.

Edit 4: OKAY LAST UPDATE AND THEN I'M MUTING NOTIFICATIONS ON THIS ACCOUNT.

I have not given anyone permission to share this story on other social media. Please stop putting it on tiktok, Instagram, and especially not Facebook. If you do this I'll sue! Also just to let everyone know; Julie got expelled from her school (a community college 🤮) and arrested and is facing time in prison time for harassing and cyberstalking this girl my son got pregnant.

Edit 5: both my son's and each of their partners have seen this post and both relationships have broken up. I hope you're all happy with destroying a healthy marriage of two soul mates because you care more about the ethics of monogamy than you do about carrying on a rare bloodline!

And I'm like yeah ESH. You're not an asshole in the way that I expected but you're still very much the asshole and probably an asshole in your everyday life from the sound of it. You're not the only one though. I'm pretty sure everyone here is an asshole except for maybe Carl. Tony for dating his own underage student (regardless of whether the relationship has been consummated or not). Milo for cheating on his own so called "soulmate". Julie for attacking a girl who her husband had impregnated instead of going after him; I'm not able to tell from this post but for all we know this other woman had no clue that he was married.

….. NTA i guess. But like. Barely.

AITA for how I respond to my troubled past? 

I (scientist, 40s M) had a rough upbringing. My parents were absent at pivotal key moments, and often put me through trials and tribulations (being made fun of for being scared of a high dive, being forced to stand still all night long outside, constantly being pushed aside in favor of my brother, to name a few). But even my life outside of my family is a mess. I live alone, I’m divorced, and my teenage daughter is distant, save for rare moments like when she thought I was cool for DJ’ing for her friends (which was an accident including glue and mind control). I’ve had sand thrown at me, I’ve been forced to live with wild cats, I’ve even had to endure being a bratwurst salesman. 

So, naturally, I seek to take revenge on all of these key instances. I build machines that help me achieve my goals. Do they work…? Usually not, but the intent is there. I think I’m fully justified in each of my machines. My assigned coworker (adult for his species) thinks I am the asshole, otherwise he and his organization wouldn’t send him over. Sometimes, he comes over in disguise and I can’t tell it’s him until he puts his uniform on, which is an incredibly dirty trick! But, after one machine experiment failed and an alternate dimension version of myself almost wreaked havoc because of his own tragic backstory including a train, I’m wondering… AITA?

AITA for telling my son that he’s a cocksucking piece of shit and i never want to see his face again? *seven paragraphs about how the son (47yo) threatened to throw his mother in the ocean after she told him he should not have dumped his toddler on his aging parents despite having the money to take care of his child and a new wife who wishes she could be a mother* u/fuckyoudad: YTA. you shouldn’t have said that to him, it’s unacceptable for a parent to ever say that kind of thing. he’s probably just acting out because he didn’t receive enough attention from you as a child. you aren’t fit to be a parent, you need to get as far away from your granddaughter as you possibly can. shame on you for thinking you have the right to raise her. u/socialjusticepacifist: ESH. you’re right but you shouldn’t have called him a c*cksucker, its homophobic :/

AITA for telling another PTA mom that her cookies for the bake sale used too much flour? I was just trying to be constructive but she took it very personally. Edit: I did call her a nasty bitch in front of her entire family, maybe that’s why she was so offended? u/kissmyasssusan: NTA. no one can take constructive criticism these days! nasty bitch is a term of affection between me and my friends, I can’t believe she reacted that way! u/throwaway09161976: you had no right to say those things to me linda. my cookies are perfect AND gluten free, which as you recall little Petey is allergic to gluten, so go fuck yourself...

I told my sister I don’t like her shirt because it is not my style. AITA? She was kind of hurt but we made up and I apologized. This was 2 weeks ago and she’s forgotten about it. The guilt is killing me please reddit am I the asshole? u/thepeacekeeper23: NTA. if she has forgiven you, then everything is resolved and you should no longer feel guilty. If these feelings persist, perhaps you should do some family counselling to see if there are deeper issues at play. u/uglyshirtlover: what kind of shirt was it

I lied to and cheated on my wife and i also murdered her father. AITA? i did all those things with zero remorse but she also overreacted by saying we should take a break

u/hugeballsalphamale: NTA brother I’m so sorry to hear this. to me, killing her father is a sign of dominance and strength, signifying that she now belongs to you. she should respect and fear you. u/tradchristianlyfe: ESH. I’ll be honest you should not have killed her father, but she needs to recognize that a marriage is support and commitment. She should be supporting you in this hard time, not distancing herself. A wife’s place is at her husband’s side, that is the promise she made when she married you.

AITA for turning my phone off for a year?

My (29M) family's business is in helping people and my dad and brother (33M) have always been really into it and I just never have. I don't really love their methods and I tried to leave the family business and go to school a few years back but my brother pulled me back in when my dad went missing (long story)

Things have been really escalating yet and we've been taking on much bigger stuff and about a year ago my brother disappeared while we were trying to take down a pretty famous guy who was actually evil and trying to take over the world. I tried for a few weeks to get my brother back but I hit a dead end and I hit a dog (it was fine don't worry another long story). I ended up meeting a nice veterinarian and for the first time since college I was able to actually settle down in a town and be happy, it was honestly pretty great for me after some of the stuff I've been through.

However, now things are complicated because my brother found his way back. He's really upset that I didn't continue the family business for the entire year he was gone but I think I was justified in finding happiness away from my family. To make it worse, we had a friend (19M) who was new to our life (and who's life we kinda helped mess up) who was being harassed by some bad guys all year and it turns out he left me dozens of messages about how he was in danger. I turned my phone off at the start of the year because I didn't want to be tied to my old life I swear I didn't want to hurt anybody but my brother thinks that this proves him right even more.

So AITA? Please tell me if I should really feel guilty for this
