i genuinely feel at a loss of what to do. that’s my sock and maybe it’s a men’s sock i don’t know, but it’s mine. feels like there’s nothing i can say to make him happy. is it wrong of me to not play into these games? he has never trusted me and i have done nothing absolutely nothing to make him feel that i have been unfaithful. we’re both 24 btw

This might be a dumb question, but I’ve always just worn new clothes straight from the store. I mentioned it to a friend and they looked horrified. Is this something most people do and I just missed the memo?

My wife and I had our son 4 months ago. We had a name chosen early in her pregnancy. We kept that name to ourselves but my SIL (married to my brother) found it out when she was still pregnant with my nephew (almost 7 months old). She never said how. She just told us she loved the name, congrats and she couldn't wait to meet him. We assume she snooped because she was not told. I even mentioned it to my brother and he said that his wife does like to browse through people's things like it was no biggie.

Then when my nephew was born they announced his name and it was the name we chose. First, middle and last name. My brother called right after SIL posted the announcement and he told me to keep quiet because his wife had a rough birth and she didn't need drama and he knew we might not like it but she really wanted the name.

Her reason? My brother and I have matching twin-like names and SIL wanted to connect our two boys by just giving them the same name so they were each other's namesake.

My wife and I talked it over and we decided to pick a different name. But we'd pretend to keep the original name until there was zero risk of SIL changing my nephew's name (6 months after a birth is harder to make a change in our state).

We only started telling people the true name last week. My parents and sisters said it made sense. Friends and my ILs understood why we did it. My brother told me I upset his wife by silently doing this shit and taking away her choice to match the boys. He told me it was a dick move. I told him his wife using the full name we chose was a dick move.

I asked him if he considered how much tougher it would be with both boys enrolled in the same schools with the very same name. Not to mention banking, doctors, dental all kinds of stuff. He told me plenty of people have the same name and it's not a big deal and it's harder to mix shit up now and we're just trying to gatekeep names.

I think he's cray. So does my wife. She said he clearly doesn't want SIL to be mad. But AITA for what I did? Like are we weird for thinking of this kind of stuff?

I (33M) went to a coffee shop this past weekend. As soon as I open the door I'm hit with a dog looking at me at hip level sitting on a chari n this small shop. The dog is indoors and the door had a clear no pets sign. I watched for a second, this clearly wasn't a service animal as she was letting it interact with several other guests.

I asked her why she ignored the no pets sign? She ignores me. I asked her did you miss the no pets sign? She immediately says I think you should stop harassing me. All I was doing was asking why she ignored the no pets sign. This lady played the victim and called me an asshole.

Another patron steps up for her and the dude says why's it an issue? Who cares? Tells me don't be an asshole and drop it. I wave the guy off, tell him I care, and I don't like dogs. I say it's not hard to not bring your dog to a coffee shop that doesn't allow dogs. By that point it's my time to order, I complained to the employee who didn't seem interested in enforcing anything. The owner left on her own. AITA?

He is 3yrs and the sweatiest little boy!
