AITAH for Refusing to Buy My Sister’s Baby a Gift?

This story is part of our  Reddit Stories   collection. Category:  AITAH The Situation This one comes with a lot of history, and none of it is small. OP has been low-contact with their older sister for years. The reason is serious: she married someone who abused OP when they were a child. Not teasing or name-calling—actual physical harm that still affects OP years later. When OP raised this, their sister dismissed it and told them to move on. Fast forward to Christmas.

Suddenly, OP’s girlfriend starts telling him he should “get back in shape” so she can show him off. He explains, calmly at first, that he doesn’t have the time or desire to train the way he used to. She keeps bringing it up. Eventually, he snaps and says that if she expects that from him, she should also meet a high fitness standar...

Anonymous Confessions I Stole From a Couple at a Concert… and I Don’t Feel Guilty About It I robbed an obnoxious couple at a concert as ‘karma’ Posted • {{DATE}} • r/confession • 3 min read Summary OP admits to stealing from a couple during a concert after their obnoxious behavior ruined the experience for everyone around them. The pair pushed through the crowd, spilled drinks, shouted over the music, and acted entitled the entire night. When OP later found the woman’s purse unattended, frustration took over—and OP grabbed cash and personal items before walking away. Now, OP feels conflicted but not exactly guilty. They know stealing is wrong, but the couple’s behavior made it feel like justified karma. Posting anonymously was their way of confessing while questioning whether revenge in the heat of the moment makes them a terrible person. ...
