I was patrolling at the border with two coworkers earlier today when we saw three toddles fall into the water. One of my coworkers tried to go to their rescue, but I told them not to do it, because they were probably already dead. Then we saw them resurface and cry for help, and my coworker tried to go and help them again, but I ordered her to stay put because she couldn't put herself in danger for kids we didn't know.

Now I think what I did and said was perfectly reasonable, it's not like I killed them myself or anything, but their ghosts appeared to me in my dreams and told me I was an AH for that so AITA?

So I, (young adult, M) am a doctor, and am friends with this guy P (young adult, M) who is also a doctor. His family does NOT like me, but because of our jobs, we have a sort of alliance. One day, he got very sick. Like, literally almost-dead sick. His family freaked out and I tried to save him by giving him a modified poison that I thought would help him.

P’s family really didn’t care want me to do this for the sake of his life, but I was certain he’d die if I didn’t. It did save him, and his family forgave me, but I think they’re still wary around me because of it. AITA?

I (60's F) am in charge of a very large group living as an independent nation. I share the power however with a cleric who is in charge of the whole religious aspect. But to get to where I am now, I sacrificed a lot of things (including my own children) and that's all the fault of the spirits we worship. Recently, the last straw broke the camel's back, and I declared that we were at war with the whole religious thing. My cleric is avoiding me, I'm avoiding her, it's all fine and dandy, but my people are very superstitious and don't want to anger the spirits so they keep worshipping them, and act (including my second in command!) like i'm crazy.

Anyway, my friend S has a disabled child who was kidnapped in broad daylight and killed under her very eyes this morning. When it happened, and we failed to stop the perp, I simply declared publicly that it was further proof the spirits were at war with us like we were with them. Everyone rushed to help out S and now I feel like maybe my timing wasn't the best.

So, basically.. we both live in two seperate places. There is a law that says you cannot have children with somebody that is not in your place. But, I disobeyed. The leader found out and exiled me and my children. I brought them over the river tp my husband's place, or... I tried to. They *drowned.* His leader declined me.. and he called our children creatures. He acted as if they were objects. After I got my revenge on my home place by killing their doctor and somebody who watched my children die, I decided to go after him. I targeted his apprentice first, luring him in, and than i killed him. I think I'm COMPLETELY in the right here, because my children were whispering in my thoughts to kill them, three eyes for three eyes, you know? But maybe I could've been the asshole, I dunno. So, social media, am I the asshole?

the other day during PE one-on-one training, I attacked my pupil. we were training to fight, but some people said after that that we were supposed to fight without real weapons so as to not endanger each other, and I was an AH for actually making the kid bleed. He's fine though.

I honestly think it wasn't that big a deal because the kid (L, 15?M) asked me to fight as best as i can in order to challenge him and push him to be the best. And no one was hurt. L's father was there and he was horrified, and I might have overplayed it a bit because I can't stand him ever since he married my old high school sweetheart (L is their son, i don't know if it's relevant?) but again, L got a bandaid and was fine, there was no grievous injury or anything of the sort.

AITA for saving a girl but dooming her brother?

I (???M) have come back in time after I died, to when I was super young, in order to save people. My first time around, B (F, and a teen at the time of the accident) was attacked by wild dogs with a friend (M, slightly older). The friend died, and B was gravely wounded. Like... very gravely. She kept the scars all her life and was left partially disabled and all.

Now we've come around the time when the wild dogs start getting spotted outside of our city, and I've been keeping a close eye on B and her friend. I managed to undo the circumstances that led them to go outside that day (basically, a very steep disagreement with a figure of authority) and they weren't hurt and didn't die.

However, B's twin brother, let's call him T, went instead of her, for some bullshit reason (this twat is always looking for trouble i swear) and now he's gotten attacked by the wild dogs. His wounds look exactly like that of B in my last life, and I fear that the price for saving B's friend's life and B's body and mind, was to sacrifice her brother's, which I didn't know at first. But since I was sent back by a higher force in order to save people, that must mean this equivalent exchange isn't necessary, because otherwise my mission would be impossible to complete. So I probably could have saved T too, had I known he had left the house.

AITA?

I (teen M) have lost my father basically the day I was born. My mom gave me a name which makes no sense etymologically (we're big on etymology and name meaning in my culture) because it was a name they'd chosen with my dad before he died, and she didn't want to change it just because it didn't match my physical appearance (basically, the name refers to like... fire, but i have black hair not red like my mom. also it's a vague callback to one of my ancestors, but he also had red hair!).

Every time someone called my name, I felt like they only had expectations for me to fulfill, like be like my dad or be like my mom, or like my grandparents who are war heroes, or like my ancestor who's even better, instead of just... being me.

So at some point, I asked to change my name to something that was more like me. I should probably precise I did it without telling anyone in my family, and interrupted a sacred ceremony to ask for the name change, in front of everyone, because my sister told me I had to precise it if I asked the internet their opinion. I don't think it changes anything to that. They weren't entitled to know how I felt about my name or that I'd change it, and the time and place are hardly relevant.

AITA?

Me and my ex (S) dated for a while, all while her ex (B) was being a massive dick to her. We both agreed, he sucked. Me and her were never officially an item (at least she'll say that) but we were off and on while he was bullying her.

Then, out of literally nowhere, she gets back together with him?? He's still awful, but he apologizes once and she gets back with him? What the hell!?

I should mention that B is the son of the guy who killed my mom and also looks just like him, so sorry if I'm a little upset that my girlfriend chooses him over me!

Anyway, I think I was rightfully pissed by this, but I still wanted to be the bigger person here, so when some guy asked me to help kill B's mentor of course I helped him. He's also S's father but semantics, y'know?

But that failed, so I gave up, until there was a very convenient fire, and S and her kids were in danger, and y'know accidents happen I thought, it sure would be bad if B's entire family dies- but then she tells me the kids aren't even hers!! What the hell!? So she just doesn't love them because they're not biological!?

Whatever, so I use this information and plan on breaking B's heart at the gathering by telling everyone in front of him, but then one of the kids killed me!! Rude much??

Anyway, I don't think I'm that out of line for being mad that my ex girlfriend left me for the son of the guy that killed my mom and also treated her like a dick and also was so much worse to her and girls never want nice guys, but others seem to think I was out of line for trying to kill her about it. AITA?

I (early 20's M) have a twin sister, M. She's always wanted to go into the only med school on our territory but her inscription was just.... hanging there because the doctor in charge is unsure about if she should be his pupil, for racist/classist reasons (our dad is from another country, our mom is basically homeless, we were abandoned at our current home and raised by the whole neighbourhood from when we were children).

When we were 11, she opened up about wanting to go to the med school and everything, that's when the whole situation is happening. Because her name basically means butterfly, i went and found a dead butterfly and put it on the doorstep of the doctor. When he came out of his house, he decided it was an omen from the gods to say she could become his pupil, which is what I had planned.

Now we're adults, she's taken over her mentor's business, and I needed a favor so I asked her for it. She didn't want to, so I told her she should because it would repay the favor of faking a sign for her. She didn't know before that I had faked it. Now her whole faith is shaken and she's a millimeter away from depression. She told me I was an AH for faking a sign in the first place, but she agreed to help me so I wouldn't reveal it to everyone and she wouldn't lose her job.

so AITA for faking that sign?

C (young adult, M) and I (young adult, F) have run away from our homes together and spent a few days in a squat hoping no one would find us, but then we learned through a friend of C who met us by chance that my family was in danger, so I went back to help them. Because we'd run away in the first place, and because our families hate each other, there's zero chance we'll ever be able to run away again or to even live together.

I realized a few weeks after our failed elopement that I was pregnant from him. Since I don't have another boyfriend, and because of the dates matching and all, I knew if anyone realized I was pregnant, they'd connect the dots, which would only put C and I both to risk. So I didn't tell him anything, and asked my twin sister to fake a pregnancy so she could take my future child(ren? we have a tendency to multiple births in the family) and raise them as her own. At first, she didn't really want to, but then a doctor told her she couldn't have children of her own, so she agreed.

Now I'm in the middle of nowhere waiting to give birth, with my sister by my side, because obviously we can't go to a hospital or everyone would realize that she's not the one giving birth, and I'm wondering if i'm AITA for not telling C he's going to become a father.

My sister T and I (twins) and my half brother H have been contacted by our estranged father to join his bootcamp and become the best and the strongest and whatever, you know marketing for these stuff.

T advised me to stay out of it because our dad has a very bad reputation around those parts and being associated with him would only hurt me, but honestly I'm conflicted.

Dad left (was exiled) when I was a toddler, and when T and I were teens, he offered us to join him, now that his position in exile was actually powerful and strong instead of just some drifter in imminent danger of death. I refused, but T joined him. So in a way, she had more of a relationship with him than I did, until he was once again forced to leave her behind. Now that he's taken contact with us again, I want to get to know him too, and also to know H because we only learned we were related recently, and we live too far from each other to see each other regularly except at that bootcamp where we'd train together. So really, I want to go to be with my family.

I signed up, but my sister seems displeased with that, and since my girlfriend doesn't like H, I'm afraid she'll realize I spent a lot of time with him somehow, and leave me over it, which honestly would be such a stupid thing to do but she does tend to do stupid stuff.

AITA for joining my dad's bootcamp?
