Sorting by controversial gets you a lot of idiots who are on the wrong side of an argument and are trying to get validation:

My [24 M] gf got mad at me for unpausing a show she was watching when she left the room to take a phone call. She then came back and took the remote to rewind what she had missed without saying anything. Who is in the wrong?

quote:

My girlfriend and I have been together for nearly two years, and can't agree on this issue. She's 25, I'm 24.

Situation

When I got home, my girlfriend was watching a show on the TV in our bedroom, but shortly after got up to go take a phone call from her friend. She paused the show and left, and didn't say how long she'd be. I decided to keep watching the show and unpaused it, and when she got back around 50 minutes later she was annoyed. She took the remote, went back to the episode she missed, even though I was now halfway into another episode at that point.

I think it was extremely rude for her to take the remote and just change it back since she'd been gone, and she thinks it's rude that I just kept watching a show she was watching even though she paused it. She said I should have watched something else, or done something else, or watched on a different place than where she had paused the show. I think that's ridiculous. She left, I didn't know how long she'd be gone, so I watched the show.

As for the show, the episodes aren't continuous, and though it's something she watches way more than I do, we have in the past watched a few episodes together and I like it enough. But since I was about halfway into another episode she hadn't seen, it is a show you kind of need to see from the beginning so she couldn't have just kept watching from where I was, but could have said something.

Who is in the wrong? Both? One?

TLDR: My gf left the room to take a phone call and paused a show she was watching. While she was gone, I unpaused it to keep watching even though I hadn't been watching previously. She came back and went back to the episode she was watching without asking, and rudely. Who is wrong?

How the gently caress is this even become an issue for these two? Like we had people earlier who had people making GBS threads on the carpet and the best you two chucklefucks can muster is episode ettiquette when phone calls drag long. Just break up, if you two get this saucy and stupid over this god help you when you tumble out rear end backwards from a filthy shower while holding your funko pop collection.

hahaha wow all you closet MRAs, jesus, reddit is an echo chamber for mouth breathing unwashed incel misogynists. Just because the neckbearded hive mind masses think she's a raging slut for traveling to hang with an old friend, ex or otherwise, doesn't make them right. You're all so wrathful even if the woman doesn't cheat. Grow the gently caress up.

Trust is the most important thing in a relationship after love and empathy. If her douchey, uncommunicative ex didn't trust her, is incapable of adult discussion/negotiation and treated her like she's a possession/cum-vessel representation of his patriarchal honour, then she is in a better place and Pete is just a loving tool. Again, grow the gently caress up, Christ.

If my girlfriend wants to hang out with her ex, more power to her. I don't automatically assume she is going to gently caress that person because she is an intelligent human with self-control and agency and values our relationship more than a passive-aggressive hate gently caress, which is 99% of cheating.

For me it was also the weird bolding. I loved it, not to mention the *gasp* that preceded it.

Like he imagines people being shocked by her blackness and feminism, so he whipped it out of nowhere as a 'gotcha' about...I'm not sure? I think he thinks he masterfully owned people but I honestly don't know how!

Y'all getting huggybear'd

quote:

My husband [26/M] lied to his friends about how I [24/F] look, and that's why I am not allowed to meet them
u/throwawayizgood1y
Okay, throwaway because to my knowledge my husband does not Reddit, but I don't want this associated with my main account.

This all happened only about two hours ago so I am still upset. Please bear with me.

Background: my husband, Dick and I have been together for 4 years, married for 1 of those. I like to think that we have a good marriage. We are generally supportive of one another and we are the annoying couple that is pretty much always together, attached at the hip. I don't feel like saying nice things about him right now, but I love him a lot.

I have been overweight since I was a child. Not grossly overweight, but definitely a case of 'she could stand to lose a few pounds'. I have always felt pretty bad about that, and a few months ago I started working out and eating better. So far I lost 20 lbs, and I'm only 2 lbs away from being at a healthy weight for my height.

Dick has always assured me that my weight wasn't a problem for him. I know that he is 'out of my league' or whatever. He is tall, has blue eyes and dark hair. He's very handsome. I never cared much about looks, and have dated people of all shapes and sizes, but I am reminded of how attractive he is all the time from the nasty looks and little comments I get from other women from time to time. I always thought it was pretty funny that I ended up with such a handsome man and it never bothered me.

Anyway, I'm rambling (blame the beer...)

Dick has never had a lot of friends, but these last three months or so he has been hanging out with a couple of coworkers every Friday. I was incredibly happy for him, he was always in a great mood when he came home and his friends seemed nice. He invited me to come along in the beginning, but I declined, because I think it's healthy for him to have his own friends. He stopped asking.

Today he was going to see a movie with these coworkers. He told me that one of them is bringing his wife, and that I was welcome to come along. This time I thought it might be fun to go with him, since I would like to meet his friends and someone else was bringing his wife along.

I got dressed, and then my husband stopped me. He told me that he couldn't take me with him after all. He looked really upset and uncomfortable so I pushed a little bit. Why did he suddenly change his mind? After a while he told me that he had something embarrassing to tell me.

Apparently his new friends like to talk about 'hot women'. They like to talk about how they scored and about how hot their girlfriends/wives are. In an attempt to fit in, Dick told them that he had a smoking hot wife who always gets attention from strangers when they are out together. He says that it is now a running gag in his group of friends. He even showed them a picture of some chick from Facebook and said it was me!

He told me that I couldn't come along because they would 'find out the truth'.

I immediately started crying and asking him why he would do something like that. He apologized profusely and said that he was just trying to fit in. He tried to 'make it up' to me by inviting me along anyway despite how 'embarrassing' it would be. I have zero desire to meet these friends now.

Dick was just standing there helplessly for a few minutes and I asked him to please leave and that I'd be at my mom's when he got back. He started begging me to spend the night at home, but I am just so angry, humiliated and sad and I don't want to be around Dick right now.

I am leaving in a few minutes to go to my mom's. How do I deal with this? Is this normal behavior? Am I overreacting?

TL;DR = My husband bragged about his 'hot wife' to his friends. I am not that hot. I am really upset that he would do such a thing, please help me and tell me what to do now.

Me [35F] with friends 30s-40s and their kids 2-18. Is my stance wrong?

quote:

I am not a kid friendly person. I don't dislike them or treat them poorly or anything, but they aren't my target demographic. I drink and use cannabis medically(have a prescription) and recreationally. I'm not particularly good at watching my language when I'm at home. And I hate pixar films.

When I meet my friends and family in public or at their homes I watch my language. I don't smoke cannabis around them. I usually don't drink and will go to my car to have a cigarette. I try to be respectful.

But when in my own home, I do that all. I love glass and there are pipes and bongs and rigs all over the place. I keep a full bar for entertaining and don't bother with watching my language. I go outside to have a cigarette so the house doesn't smell, and keep ashtrays around everywhere. And I feel that if the friends with kids choose to bring them to my home, they are deciding they're okay with exposing them to all these things. But a couple people have been hinting lately that maybe I could put away at least the ashtrays and cannabis paraphernalia. I really don't think I should have to. Am I wrong?

tl;dr I don't hide my bad habits from kids when their parents bring them to my home. People are starting to indicate I should. Am I wrong?
