My GF(F34) and I(M35) are living together. We are renting a 2 bed 1 bath apartment. One room is for guests as we often have friends come around, so they can sleepover if they want, although its just one queen bed.

Lease is under my name, and I pay 2/3rd of the rent and bills, my GF takes care of the remaining 1/3rd. Although we are not married yet, we are planning to get married sometime this year or next year. So, im a big believer that our room, where my GF and I sleep, to be our sacred space.

I never let any of my friends to even come into our room, let alone sleep on our bed. Its my (our) personal space, sacred even. Its where all my stuffs are, and its where we f__k (obviously).

There are a few instances where friends did entered our room but never sleeping on our bed. So, currently I am outstation, and my GF had her friends come over and having a sleepover. They are all females and they are my friends too.

Thing is, our place is small, only have 2 queen beds, and theres one small couch in the living room. We do have some extra comforters and pillows where sometimes when more than 3 friends are sleeping over, we can let them sleep in the living room, either on the couch or on the floor (with comforters and pillows and blankets), and of course 2 or 3 friends can sleep on the queen bed in the guests room.

Tonight, my GF calls and tells me she plans to let one female friend to sleep together with her on our bed. The other 3 girls are sleeping in the guest room. I am not comfortable with this at all.

I can compromise by letting her sleep on our bedroom floor (with blankets and all of course), but not on our actual bed. In fact, theres a couch in the living room. She flipped out on me.

Even her friend asked her am I even comfortable and okay if she sleeps on our bed. I tell her no im not comfortable. Its my space, my bed.

I sleep n__ed on it. I dont want other people to get into my safe space. So, am i the a__hole for not letting a female friend to sleep on our bed with my GF, and ask her to sleep in the living room?

My GF says that this would waste a perfectly good bed. Bear in mind I am not even there. im just not comfortable.

My (F30) husband (M31) dated Kathy (F30) for three years while at university. They were planning to get married when Kathy fell pregnant, but she confessed the child may be another man's. They broke up, but a DNA test proved my husband was the father. As such, my husband agreed to co-parent but refused to rekindle the relationship.

Very sadly, the baby was born with a heart defect and pas*ed away at four months old. Both Kathy and my husband were destroyed, and Kathy ended up moving away. My husband went onto meeting me, and we were married two years ago.

My MIL (F60) has always carried a torch for Kathy and thought that they should get back together when the child was proved to be my husband's. Then the next reason became so that Kathy and my husband could help each other in their grief.

Unfortunately between her love of Kathy and me being a different race, MIL has made no secret of not liking me. To the extent where she has excluded me from family photos because I am not family. My husband has always stood up for me in these scenarios.

My MIL's birthday was last weekend, and my husband wanted to throw a celebration at our house. We went the whole nine yards with a cake and decorations. My husband also asked for my help picking out a very expensive handbag as a gift. I love my husband and I know he loves his mom, so I am happy to help him do something nice for her.

My MIL showed up on the day with Kathy in tow, which was a surprise for everyone. She said that she had run into Kathy at the store, as Kathy has recently moved back, and MIL wanted to re-intergrate the mother of her grandchild back into the family (nevermind the fact that the baby pas*ed away around six years ago now).

I was really upset, but this was only exasserbated by my MIL constantly trying to throw my husband and Kathy together. "Kathy, why don't you sit next to him?" "Kathy, why don't you go help him with the BBQ?" "Kathy, would you mind asking him where x is?"

I spent the whole day biting my tongue, but it was too much when everyone left and my MIL asked Kathy to give my husband a hug. My husband initially refused but after some pushing from MIL, he relented and hugged Kathy.

As soon as they left, I asked my husband what he was thinking?! He said he didn't want to upset my MIL on her birthday, but I asked why did he want to upset me? He said he didn't, he just thought it would be easier to handle with me later.

I was furious, and said that I expect that either MIL apologises or she is no longer welcome in our home. My husband said that I am going too far, but I don't think I'm being unreasonable. Was I the AH?

I (50F) always help my daughter (26F), a 💝 single mom of two (5M, 3F). I take my grandson to kindergarten and granddaughter to learning activities without fail. I need foot surgery (Achilles tendon). Post-op, I'll be non-weight-bearing for 3 weeks. I can't drive kids to school. Daughter starts work at 8 AM; grandson starts school at 8:15 AM. She can't be late. My friends and husband say I should prioritize 💡 myself, 😆 but I feel guilty leaving her stranded. Surgery is scheduled for November 8th - perfect timing for ME. She 🏛 considered taking a leave of absence but couldn't because of pay. When I suggested she ask her child's father to handle the childcare, she burst into tears saying it's my 🌗 responsibility because he's never been involved & she doesn't want to bother him. AITAH if 🚎 I proceed with surgery? ... [Read Full Story & Verdict] ⬇️

Recently, my mom was talking about Hannah, a lot. I’ve told her before I 🦆 don’t want to talk about Hannah anymore, but 🌴 she doesn’t listen. The other day, she kept going on about a story I’ve heard 🦂 💞 a million times and I said “I thought I told you I was done talking about her.” My mom replied “She’s your sister” and I said “technically, maybe.” My mom got really offended and I pointed out we weren’t raised together. I don’t know her. I feel nothing for her. My mom started crying and called me heartless. She said that I don’t have to discuss Hannah, but she’s not going to stop just because I want to pretend she never existed.

My brother and I share the same birth date but are 2 years in age apart. My entire life I’ve never had my own birthday it was always a celebration of both of 🐝 us together. Never got to make my own plans or do what I wanted to do. Always had to compromise on everything 🚂 and my brother and I couldn’t be more opposite to each other in personality. My brother is also the younger one so most of the time what 🙆 he wanted 🚋 he got because he’s the baby of the family.
