(on this site, you can write ass and hole separately, but if you try to join them together you get *******)
Anyway...
Didja ever do something and wonder if you're being an ass hole? Maybe your wife did something? Your co-worker, neighbor, or your kid? You think they're the one being the ass hole but you're just not sure? Looking for validation? Stop wondering. The collective wit and wisdom of GCMB is here to answer all your questions. Tell us your story, and we'll tell you if you're the ass hole or if it's somebody else in your story.
Here is an example from Reddit:
Sample ADG response:
NTA. She was clearly banging this dude and is still carrying a torch for him. She wishes the kid was his, not yours. That's why she lied by not giving you the backstory. Better luck with your next wife (yes, your next wife, this one's definitely going to cheat on you with some other drugged-out "bad boy" in a futile attempt recapture the thrill of her relationship with Pete). In the meantime, remember, she's only pregnant. It's not like her jaw is broken.

AITA for not wanting to name my son after my wife’s dead best friend?
My wife “Kate” (26f) and I (28m) are expecting our first baby in about 3 months. We’ve been married for 2 years now and known each other for about 4. She’s from a different state so I don’t personally know all of her childhood friends/extended family and such.
Long story short we were finalizing baby name ideas and decided on (first name) “Pete” (last name). I was content until we mentioned the name around her mom and she mentioned how “beautiful” it was and how it was a kind way to honor “Pete”.
I’m awkward in person so I waited until we were alone to ask Kate what her mom meant. Turns out Pete was Kate’s best friend from grade school on up. Unfortunately Pete got addicted to hard drugs and passed away about 3 years before I met Kate. Her excuse for not telling me was it’s hard to talk about him.
While I understand the sentiment I don’t want my son carrying the name of not only someone my wife lost but also an addict. I’ve suggested other names we both considered in the past but Kate refuses to budge.
I just don’t get why she wants to be reminded of something so horrible every time she calls our sons name. AITA?
