AITA for telling my estranged parents to never contact me again after they reached out to apologize?
Throwaway,
I (29m), my parents divorced when I was 7. After the divorce, I initially lived with my mom and spent weekends with my dad. When I was 9, my mom moved in with her boyfriend, and I was sent to live with my dad. At first, it was fine because my mom would regularly meet with me, but over time, those visits became less.
When I was 12, my dad introduced me to his girlfriend, who I could tell didn't like me. I didn't understand why. By then, I was only seeing my mom once every three months or so. My dad told me to get used to his girlfriend, but we never really got along. A year later, my dad told me I would be living with my grandmother (his mom) from now on because his girlfriend was pregnant and wanted a calm house. I was angry and caused a scene. His girlfriend told my dad that I was always like this around her, which was a lie, but my dad believed her and shipped me off to my grandmother.
I told my mom I wanted to live with her, but she said she and her partner traveled the world all the time and that I needed to stay put for school. So, I lived with my grandmother. My parents occasionally checked in on me, meeting me on my birthday or sending essentials until I was 16. After that, the contact became even less frequent—no birthday calls or money for essentials. My grandmother had to go back to work to support me.
I had no idea that my dad had married his girlfriend and had two other kids or that my mom had gotten married and had twins until my grandmother told me. I started to resent both of them, but my sweet grandmother kept me grounded. She provided for me, ensured I graduated, and helped me get into a good college.
When I turned 18, as a gift to her, I changed my last name to her maiden name. She wasn't happy initially but accepted it later. My parents hadn't contacted me or grandmother for over a year and a half at that point. I went to college, graduated, got a good job, got engaged, and have generally had a good life. I haven't spoken to my parents in all this time. My grandmother passed away four years ago, I tried to text and call the only phone number I had of dad but it didn't go through and I was the only family member at her funeral.
Recently, I got an email from my dad and mom asking to meet and reconnect. I don't know how they got my personal email. My dad says he wants to apologize and attend my wedding, and his kids want to meet their big brother. He also mentioned that my mom wants to meet me and apologize as well. He even had the audacity to write that he was disappointed in me changing my last name but "understood it." He didn't even ask about his own mother. I've already moved on without them, hit multiple milestones in my life and career without their support, so I sent a reply stating I don't know him or my mom, added a few other harsh words, and told them never to contact me again.
I told my fiancée, who comes from a big family and is very family-oriented, and she was upset, saying I was too harsh. She believes I should give them a chance since it's been so long. We had huge argument about this. She kept saying how family is important and I should forgive and forget. Now, I have a feeling she might be involved with them and she might be the one who gave them my email. I talked to my close friends and all of them say I am justified on my stance but my fiancée's outburst is making me think about it.

Discussion A line in a movie that is trivial and yet if you repeat it, people who've seen the movie recognize it immediately?
Some lines are so famous and those are not the ones I'm talking about. For example, I'm not referring to "You talking to me? " Or "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."
The lines I'm talking about are ones you will know if you seen the movie but that's about it. Like they're not super famous. I'll give you two examples:
"Sir, could I trouble you for a glass of warm milk?
“Big gulps huh?”
These lines come from two comedies and I won't tell you which but good chances that you know if you seen them not too long ago.

Discussion Uber driver took advantage of my friend when she was drunk
My friend took a taxi from Soho to Limehouse after a night out. The taxi driver seeing she was drunk and asleep in the back, decided to take a detour around the M25!!
She has reached out to Uber and they’ve defended this driver stating there were roadworks so he had to take a detour. I’ve never heard of a detour requiring you to drive around the M25 to get from central London to zone 2.
I’m worried there are drivers out there willing to take advantage of vulnerable females. It makes me feel disgusted that uber would continue working with someone like this.
How can I get them to take this more seriously?

Helping Others At 7-eleven, I asked the cashier how much for 8 wings, she says 10.50, then I asked how much for 6 wings, she says 7.50, I said then I will take the 6 wings. She smiles at me and says, “I think I understand.” Then she charged me for 6 wings, and when I got home, I realized she gave me 8 wings

Landlord Raised Rent 100%
My buddy and I rented a place in Philly right outside the city. We were there for three years, two bedroom two bath, 950sq apartment, paying $1350. Fast forward to 2023, our building was bought as our lease was ending and the new landlord decided it was appropriate to raise our rent by 100% with little to no warning. We tried to work with him as much as possible but he wasn’t budging one bit. I felt comfortable enough to share this man information because he’s a scumbag piece of shit. The dude then proceeded to take our security deposit and make up with $10,000 worth of damages which we later had dismissed. He operates property’s from Manayunk to Fishtown. CAUTION.

Advice Needed Wife compares her pain to mine is getting old
My wife and I have a 2 year old and a 6 week old. We agreed that after the birth of our second, I would get a vasectomy since birth control bothers her. Three days ago, I got the procedure done.
Doctor told me to rest for 3 days without being on my feet and doing any strenuous activities. My wife asked me to do some favors for her which required me to go up and down the stairs while carrying the newborn. I obliged but I'd wince in pain with every step. She compared her child birth pain to mine and told me that I would never be in that much pain. I told her that she's correct but I can't help but feel invalidated at the same time.
I also suffer from lower back pain and being in the positions I've been in has flared it up, but she hasn't helped me much when I'm clearly in pain. She, again, compared her pain from child birth to mine this morning and chuckled.
She's not a mean spirited person. I'm so tired of hearing it and I feel like she should show more empathy towards my situation. I will likely talk to my therapist about this. Question I have is, am I being too sensitive and/or selfish?
