AITA for charging my boyfriend for chores?

quote:

I know the title make me sound crazy, but hear me out.

My boyfriend(M24) and I(F25) have been together for many years and we have lived together for quite a few as well. We like many couples have some disagreements when it comes to who does what chores when. I don't like reminding him what needs to be done, we both live here, he can look around and see what needs to be done. He has a couple things he's meant to do every week, the laundry (thought I do the folding and putting away) and the garbage (which includes the recycling and the compost). I clean the kitchen (because it's my favorite chore tbh), the vacuuming, taking care of our pet (A chinchilla, he's very cute) and the folding of the laundry as previously mentioned.

Lately, we've both been a bit swamped at work so our chores have gone to the wayside a bit, the house is very dusty, we have no clean clothes, the kitchen is a mess and we don't have any clean dishes to eat out of, etc. So I've been using some of my lunch break and processing time at work to do chores. A few days ago, when I asked my boyfriend to help, he got kind of upset, saying that he does more chores then I do and that it isn't very fair that he does all the laundry and I don't even always fold it and put it away (which is true), but just sort it loosely and we take our clothes out of the bin to wear them.

So this past week, I haven't been reminding him of any of his chores and he hasn't been doing them. We have both been doing Overtime, but I've had to do significantly more then he has, even working a few weekend days to meet deadlines over the past few weeks, but I've been doing all the chores. I don't mind doing chores honestly, they don't bother me at all, but I don't think it's fair for me to do all the labor in our household and still pay bills 50/50.

So when I gave him his half of the food bill this month (I do the grocery shopping and manage the money as well) I also charged him 125 dollars for his portion of the chores that I did. He was kind of flabbergasted and said he didn't agree to this, which is true. However I said that if he wouldn't pay me to do his portion of the chores, not only would I no longer do them, but would only do chores that benefitted me(my own laundry, my own food shopping and cleaning the house half as often and only really the spaces that bothered me being dirty) and he could do his own chores or hire someone to do them for him.

He said ok maybe 125 for the month was fair, but I said it was 500 for the month, just 125 for the week. and he got really really pissed off at me saying that it was too much.

I don't think I was wrong, but I'm also on the spectrum, so am not always the best judge of these types of situations. So AITA?

what do you mean i can't communicate, i wrote out a whole bill and everything, that's communication

I'll never get sick of stories like this! Yes, let's blow up our entire relationship because I can't deal with you having bodily autonomy.....

AITA for asking my girlfriend to change her hair color before meeting my parents?

quote:

I was going to spring break with my girlfriend and parents. My parents paid for a luxury resort in Saint Petes. It was supposed to be a relaxing trip. My girlfriend for some reason decided to dye her hair pink for the trip. My dad hates dyed hair and I know he would make an issue of it the whole trip. He�s done it with my sister.

I told her I wanted her hair dyed back. She told me it was expensive and she�s not doing it. I offered to pay. This fight went on for two days to where I told her my dad would find it disrespectful because he paid for the whole trip. It�s a little thing to ask of her. I thought she was being stubborn and I said my dad is paying please stop and fix your hair.

About 6 hours before the flight I asked her one more time. She said both me and my dad are bullies and she�s not going on this vacation. I told her she�s wasted my money on the plane ticket and my dad�s money for the resort. She�s wasting thousands of dollars just because she can�t change her hair color. It was stupid childish thing.

My girlfriend did not go with me. She blocked me from texting her. 3 days later I see her on her Instagram story that she tagged me in were she�s in Vegas kissing another man! WTF! Saying pink hair no cares. She�s telling all of my friends that I was a controlling boyfriend and that why she broke up. She never even said she broke up with me. I just thought she was mad. My best friend in the world told me I was being a bully and it wasn�t that big of deal. I know my parents they would have hated it and made comments all vacation. I can�t believe I painted as a controlling horrible rear end in a top hat when all I asked was for my girlfriend to change her hair color so she wouldn�t upset my dad who was paying for her vacation.

AITA for getting upset at my boyfriend for posting pictures of himself and his sister when they went on a road trip together?

quote:

My[25F] boyfriend[25M] of 1 and a half years went on a road trip with his sister[27F I think?] this past week, and while I wanted to go as well, I knew it wasn�t in my rights to force them to take me so I said nothing.

However, my boyfriend and his sister posted a lot of pictures on her social media of their experiences in the road trip. There are some really weird pictures though. Most notably, one of the pictures show my boyfriend�s sister kissing him on the cheek and some other photos show her with her arm around his neck. I feel like many may interpret them as a couple rather than a sister-brother relationship.

When my boyfriend got back yesterday, I got pissed at him and asked him about the photos. He said that I was being weird but I pressed on for a couple times and he got pissed and called me a pervert. He hasn�t called or texted me since. AITA? I mean I feel like the pictures were kind of weird.

Agreed, something else seems off here. I can understand needing a designated driver and caretaker if the daughter is being heavily sedated. Benadryl might make them unsafe to drive but they should surely be coherent enough to just take an Uber.

Though the mom is still an rear end in a top hat for freaking out about a solution to her problems here.

Certain infusions can really knock the stuffing out of you. It�s possible the infusion itself could prevent her from being safe to be in a car with a stranger who freelances with a company known to not vet their workers and that has incidents of passengers getting raped and left for dead.

Or given it�s a long drive to the infusion center, they may live somewhere that Uber isn�t available.

AITA for being concerned about my wife's after school student activities

quote:

Burner account. Names and ages withheld.

My wife teaches theatre at a high school where, for most of the year, the kids are in after-school rehearsals for their competitive school plays. Now that competitions have ended, some of the kids still wanna hang out after school, and my wife has indulged this by taking up reading plays with them. For those curious, the group of students is a mix of genders and sexualities.

I asked her how today went, and she talked about the play reading. I jokingly said, �well, as long as you�re not reading as someone�s wife.� She huffed and said, �it�s not like that. It�s not that kind of play. Don�t do that.�

I let it go for an hour, but something bugged me. I am aware that I have jealousy issues, and I said, �Hey, I�m kinda overthinking the play thing. Can you just tell me it�s nothing? That if the roles were reversed and I was reading as someone�s husband, you would be cool with it?�

She said yeah. We�ve both acted in plays where we�ve been someone else�s spouse.

But then I pointed out that the people we acted against were not minors under our supervision. (I�ve been a substitute teacher before, and they pretty much drilled it into the guy subs to always keep your guard up)

She got defensive and said I was hosed-up for insinuating that she was doing anything like taking advantage of a student. Said I don�t trust her and I�m just jealous and trying to get even by ruining something of hers that she enjoys. That she�s smart and avoid plays where there�s sex talk.

I pointed out a vice principal was fired recently for reading a book to a group of kids that had the word �butt� in it during school hours. We both know that school admins are quick to throw anyone under the bus at the slightest �concern.� And since this isn�t an official club that the admins know about and signed off on, if anything comes up, they can rightfully say, �we didn�t know she was alone with students after school reading questionable plays� and they wouldn�t do a drat thing to protect her.

She argued that she knows what she�s doing, she�s got herself covered, and that I need to stop putting toxic thoughts like this out into the universe. I apologized for upsetting her but told her she should at least let her admins know she has an after-school club where they read plays together because it only takes one person to potentially ruin her career. One kid gets mad at her for something in class and can easily spread rumors about �what really goes on after school�, or, Heaven forbid, someone records them reading and releases part of the recording without context, or a parent wondering why their kid is coming home late when competition is over. None of these things are outside the realm of possibility and she should be mindful of how things look to someone passing by.

She said the only person who would think this was me.

She pretty much shut down after that and said she needed to sleep. So now I�m in the spare room thinking, �Was I being an rear end in a top hat?�

My friend (30M) and I (30F) have known each other since highschool. Even though we�re very different people, we�re close and tell each other almost everything, but we�re strictly platonic. I�m not a very social person, I don�t really ever post on my own social media platforms, but I do follow my friends and family. In the last couple of years, everytime after we hung out, he�d post photos of us to social media with captions like �I love you because of who I am when I�m with you�. Which for some reason makes me uncomfortable. I let it slide a few times but today when he did something similar again I decided to tell him that I�m not comfortable with him posting photos of us under misleading/vague captions. He told me I�m being overly dramatic, that it�s just for fun, and that if I didn�t care how people think why would it bother me. I know all this, but I can�t help feeling uncomfortable regardless. So I blocked him. AITA here?

This is not remotely sane behavior even from jealously issues standpoint because he's implying that she's flirting or engaging in some kind of sexual context with her underage students from reading plays with them.

His excuse is "if I read as Macbeth and a student read as Lady Macbeth, that's practically cheating right?" so even with his half-rear end defense using some insane school administrators behavior he still comes off as a creepy gently caress.

He doesn't even present it as caring about unsanctioned activities at first and only brings that up after he's lit the bomb of accusing her of improper behavior with minors and scrambles to defend himself.

While OP is acting like a psycho and probably doing some projection based on his own inappropriate behavior with students while rehearsing plays, a teacher was fired for reading "I Need a New Butt!" to students two weeks ago because America is insane, hates teachers, and is always on the lookout for new ways to abuse and gently caress with them.

OP doesn't mention whether that butt firing story actually happened in their area, or if it's just something he heard on the news and decided use against his wife after an hour of stewing over whether she ever reads as a teenager's wife.

But even if they do live in a hell state where the parents of drama kids would get the vapors over their children reading a few extra plays, OP is being a massive rear end in a top hat by insisting that he, a man who used to sub, has a better understanding of any potential issues than the woman who actually works in that school and knows that situation.

If his main concern was actually that the readings weren't an official activity, he'd have started with that and suggested that she get approval just to make sure she's covered if things get weird. Instead he jumped to the idea that she was being inappropriate and then lectured her about her job.

AITA for not sharing my water with boyfriend while on a hike?

quote:

For context, I am a college student and an avid hiker. My boyfriend, who I met on campus, is also grad student pursuing a different field. We both live in the same city, but I have lived here for half of my life while my boyfriend moved here last August to pursue his degree.

To put it plainly, we live in the desert. Spring just began and temperatures have already been hitting 90 �F (32.2�C). However, I�ve grown accustomed to the weather and take all the precautionary measures when going outside, especially to hike.

My boyfriend is from the East Coast and also claims the title of an avid hiker. He caught the tail end of the summer and admitted to spending the majority of that time either at his apartment or at school. Because he never actually hiked in the heat, I reminded him to start drinking more water to prepare for the hotter days. For some reason, my comment had struck a cord with him and he became visibly upset. He said, �I�ve been hiking before and I�m a former Eagle Scout. You don�t need to condescend me about drinking water. I can survive in the wild.�

Hurt by his comment, I never brought up the topic of water again.

Yesterday, we decided to finally do a longer hike in the mountains. He had done research and wanted to do one of the more popular hikes in the city. Now I�ve done this hike before, I know how grueling it can be, especially in the heat.

Because of a pre-scheduled Zoom Meeting, I decided to meet my boyfriend at the trailhead. I arrive equipped with my day pack, 3L bladder and some water bottles for good measure. He only has one 24 oz bottle and nothing else. Knowing how sensitive he is about water I decide to not to say anything.

About three hours in, I notice his water bottle is empty. Since we aren�t even at the peak, I spare the extra water bottles that I packed. Once we finally make to the peak I realize that the water bottles I gave him are empty as well. I think nothing of it and think that he�s just gonna have to suffer in silence.

The hike down is about 2 hours down and I�m down to 1L of water left in my bladder. I know that this is enough to keep me hydrated and comfortable for the descent . But as soon as we set off, I feel the nozzle of the bladder get caught on something. Thinking it was getting stuck on fauna or a cactus, I turn around and to my surprise I find my boyfriend trying to steal sips of my water.

I�m instantly angry that he would try and steal my water after giving so much grief about it. I snatch the nozzle out of his hand a retort, �I thought Eagle Scouts could survive in the wild?�

He became angry and hiked ahead. By the time I got back to the trailhead he had driven off. He hasn�t texted me since the incident and now I can�t help but wonder if I�m the AH?

ESH - He's an rear end in a top hat for saying "I can survive the wild" and she's an rear end in a top hat for not understanding that means stealing sometimes

she's right that you need to acclimatize to the weather, but the right thing to do is share water if at all possible. It's hard for people from the East Coast to understand what it means to actually acclimatize themselves.

90% odds that this is taking place in Phoenix, given the description of mountain hikes in the city and 90 degree highs already (also lmao 90 isn't even remotely hot by our standards).

Clearly Scouting is different on the east coast because going through it here in AZ, DRINK MORE WATER is literally the number one thing they drill into you at every opportunity. Even at 90 degrees it borders on impossible to bring too much water with you but very easy to bring too little. I can't tie knots for poo poo but I can still remember the video they showed us at summer camp every year where the guy who didn't bring enough water with him dies a horrible sun-burnt death.

"24oz bottle of water" is the "I got airlifted off of Camelback" starter pack.

AITA for making my boyfriend feel uncomfortable after he insisted on joining us on girls night in?

quote:

My boyfriend m/27 started asking to join me in my girls night in. Everytime I tried to say no he be like "I have to join or you'll have to cancel". It made me & the girls miserable having to sit there with him in the middle.

This past friday he insisted to join us again, I had enough I came up with an idea to get him to hate hanging out with us, made a plan and told the girls what we were going to do and they were down for ot.

The girls came and my boyfriend immediately sat with us and started ruining our conversations by steering them towards him/his work/his achievement. So here's what I did, I started bringing up gross/ embarrassing subjects and the girls were eating them up by talking about them in details. Subjects like sevx, periods (his most sensitive spot), cramp diarrhea, hairy legs, fart getting trapped in the valva and coming out the front. Squeezing poo poo out of our faces, cramp diarrhea, dirty underware, and again...cramp diarrhea.

We talked about this stuff in boring details, like...I could feel his discomfert without even looking at him. But God when I turned to see why he got quiet suddenly. he was getting red in the face, and had sweat all over his forehead, I bet he found himself unable to relate to thise subject thus couldn't take part in the conversation.

He got up from the couch ready to head out, I looked at him and asked where he was going and he was like "I just ah...I just remembered that I have an important meeting with a guy in about 10 minutes and....ah...I have to go now" he rushed out telling us to have fun. The girls and I started laughing hysterically.

he came home and berated me saying I made him feel uncomfortable/sick with the horrible subjects I kept bringing. I said "what u talking about? This is the typical stuff girls talk about all the time" but he insisted I made him upset and caused him to leave. He declined to speak to me and been quiet since then.

AITA for not sharing my water with boyfriend while on a hike?

But she DID share a lot of water him, he brought 1 bottle, over the course of the hike she (unasked) gave him 3 or 4 more, which she had to carry up the hill for him. He drank all that extra water, and then tried to steal from her, rather than ask. Then when he's caught, he strides off, leaving her to finish the hike alone.

100% rear end in a top hat, let him shrivel.

AITA for making my MIL "depressed" because I made my husband do chores?

quote:

Just for the sake of what happened , my husband and I had gotten married on December last year. My MIL is a very overtly conservative woman, I don't blame her but yeah that is just how she is.

Anyways me and my husband just officially moved to a small but conducive house. So I invited my MIL and FIL for a 2-day stay over so they could spend time with us and explore the new house and area.

She did have a lot of complaints on the way things were arranged and the decor of the house but I just played along and assured her we will be changing it once we are settled in. During lunch my husband was the one preparing the food, and this obviously enraged my MIL. She kept insinuating throughout the whole lunch saying "I can teach you some cooking it is bad omen to make your husband cook" (wtf?!) I obviously do now how to cook in fact ,once I come back from work I am the one preparing dinner for both me and my husband and taking care of the undone chores.

When my husband was sweeping while she stayed over she rushed to him as though he was a kid playing with fire or something and started sweeping for him. Every minor chore he would do within the time she stayed over , she would either glare me down till I took over or she would snidely tell him "ask her to do it".

3 days or so if I am not wrong , after they left she called me in the afternoon saying that it really hurt her to see her son doing the chores. Except, he wasn't and I was doing the laundry(him and mine), cooking dinner, and the whole pre-cleaning to arrange their guest rooms and tidy the place was also done by me. I would only request my husband if he could help if he was free or sometimes he would take his own initiative in doing it. She said she was feeling depressed for days because , he was brought up never having to do house chores at his own house and seeing "me make him do chores" is breaking her heart.

Is it so wrong to make my husband so chores while his parents were over ? I never thought it would be a big deal but now I am unsure lol, is it an unspoken rule that we shouldnt let our partners do chores when their parents are over ? Am I the rear end in a top hat here or am I just tripping over this lame issue?

AITA for getting upset at my boyfriend for posting pictures of himself and his sister when they went on a road trip together?

Somehow the space-time continuum has warped, and we can see this couple's future:

AITA for causing my sister in laws divorce with my brother?

quote:

My (24F) sister in law V(31F) is blaming me for her divorce with my brother (34M). Some years ago my brother got married to V, she was super nice and sweet to me. The problem started when I got pregnant. My sister announced her pregnancy before me so when I announced my pregnancy she was absolutely livid. She started saying that she didn�t want to share a pregnancy with anyone else and how selfish I was. I told her that it wasn�t all about her and left it at that. After that she started doing things to act like the victim. For example, I told people my gender reveal date 1 month prior. V then decided she was going to have another gender reveal �to make sure the baby�s gender is exact� which was complete bs but then got mad and threw a fit when my brother came to mine instead of her. Another thing she did is when I was in labor she faked contractions so the attention could be off me. When my brother confronted her she started crying and saying �if you care about your sister so much why didn�t you marry her� that was 3 months ago. Now my brother and V are getting a divorce because he feels like she has been centering the pregnancy on me and not the actual baby. She didn�t help in things like buy the baby clothes, a dresser, changing table, or decorate the room prior to the baby�s birth. Last night she sent me a string of texts saying I am a bitch and insinuating that I�m having sexual relations with my brother. I�m actually fuming right now but I want to make sure I�m not the rear end in a top hat if u end up retaliating.

AITA for not trusting my GF after she spoke on Teams with her coworker?

quote:

We are long distance, together 3 years. She recently accepted a job in my city and is supposed to move here in 2 months.

I had completely blind trust in her. Recently I visited her in her city and I saw she was getting quite a lot of notifications from one of her new coworkers on work chat (Teams). I told her to be careful as she was playing fire and she dismissed me saying it is nothing.

She went running one afternoon and I followed my gut and read her Teams conversation with this coworker. They have known each other for barely more than a month and they have been speaking almost every day for the past week, about things not related to work. They joke around, he sends her gifs and videos and she responds. They talk about music and food. She told him she tried a restaurant without mentioning she went with me. In no way am I mentioned in these Teams conversations. I know her friends (other coworkers) and have met them numerous times and when she just met them she wasn't talking to them as much. After we had a huge fight about it, and didn't talk for 24hrs, he wrote to her again sending a stupif gif and she still responded with another gif even though she knew it would hurt me. My trust is completely shattered. She has been telling me recently that she feels like I am not supporting her in her move (I am feeling a lot of pressure because she is moving because of me and am a bit distant emotionally) and I feel like as soon as I didn't give her what she needed she went looking elsewhere.

She thinks I am the rear end in a top hat because (according to what she says) everyone at work knows she has a boyfriend (including him) and that she resigned and is moving to be with me, and she always talks about me. Too bad there is no proof of this on Teams. And even if I knew, I don't care if he flirts with her, I care that she leaves the door open for him. She says he is just a social person and speaks with everyone in the office, and she hasn't done anything in 3 years that made her deserve this lack of trust (she lied to me when I warned her about him and she said it was nothing). She also keeps saying that she is leaving her friends and job to be with me and she wouldn't do it if she wasn't committed to the relationship, as if this gives her permission to do whatever she wants.

AITA for not trusting her and doubting her relationship when she has inappropriate non-work related conversations with someone she has known for barely a month?
