Sorry for formatting, I'm writing this on mobile.

I've been dating a guy for a few months now. He is kind, caring and funny. A little eccentric but nothing about him has ever seemed "off". The other day, we were talking about something we wanted to buy together, so he opened up his phone to the AliExpress app and when he clicked the search bar I saw the search history had multiple variations of "Hidden spy camera" "secret camera" "WiFi camera". When I saw this I wanted to double check, so I took his phone and typed the first few letters into the search bar and sure enough the variations dropped down from the search bar in bold. At first he pretended to not know what I was talking about. Then he said "it came up as a suggestion because you typed the first few letters in." I was calm but kept telling him no, that's not true. Then he told me him and his friend had been talking about how she recently stayed at a hotel where she suspected there was hidden cameras, so they decided to research them together to see what they look like.

This also sounded like bullshit to me, and at this point I was kind of freaking out. I've never seen him so annoyed before but he was in disbelief that I thought he'd really be the kind of person to buy hidden cameras. He said "Ok then, I will call my friend right now and she will tell you it's true" and I stayed silent, then he said "search my whole room, there's no cameras" Then he texted his friend to prove to me the conversation they had was real. The texts said something like "hey remember when we were researching spy cams together, well my partner saw and they think I have hidden cameras. Can you reply so I can prove we talked about them together and that I don't have any cameras" he said he feels embarrassed he had to send a text like that to his friend.

I feel like him texting his friend kind of proves his story, because otherwise he'd be outing himself as a total creep to her too, and I feel bad for jumping to a conclusion and accusing him. It's been a few days and I think I believe him, but things are still kind of tense between us, I don't think he forgives me.

AITA for jumping to that conclusion or is it a rational reaction?

The charitable (and I do mean extremely charitable) read from the comments is that she continually makes bad decisions and then dumps her problems on OPs family every time.

However my read is that he's both butthurt about the rejection and also butthurt that his parents provide a support network for her because her own family is trash.

AITA for getting mad when I saw "Hidden Spy Camera" in my boyfriend's search history

quote:

I (26M) was hired for my dream job just after Christmas last year. It's perfect, but the only issue is that I've had to move because the job is located on the other side of the country. The job is great, and I met my girlfriend in the new city but the downside to the move is that I rarely get to see my family. This Thanksgiving, therefore, was really important to both me and my family, which should give some context as to why I got so annoyed when my cousin Greg (26M) tried to ruin Thanksgiving by farting on me repeatedly.

This all started when I was 13. Greg and I were both the same age, and we both realised that we could fart on command. Since we were stupid and thought it would be funny, we spent the entire day farting on each other. At the time, I thought it was really funny, but now it seems anything but. My family aren't really close so the next time I saw Greg was at the next Thanksgiving and he carried on farting on me at various points throughout the day. At this point I had grown up a little and no longer participated or found it funny, but he persevered anyway. The year after that, I asked him to stop farting at me. He didn't. He has continued to repeatedly fart on me at every single Thanksgiving since, even though I have repeatedly told him to stop.

I don't get why he does it. He isn't a stupid dude. He is a Corporate Lawyer in New York, with a wife and two young kids, and other than this he is a completely normal guy. I have asked him not to fart on me every year, but he never listens to me. I told my parents not to invite him this year, but he turned up anyway.Not wanting to cause a fuss, my Mom served him food, which I struggle to blame her for.

When I arrived, Greg beelined towards me and my Girlfriend. I had warned my Girlfriend about Greg, so she knew what to expect, but rather than farting on us, he was lovely. He was charming, funny and my Girlfriend seemed to like him. He only talked to us for a few minutes before helping out in the kitchen, but after he left, my Girlfriend turned to me and said "He doesn't seem too bad" and I thought he might have been a changed man. How wrong was I...

About an hour later, right before dinner, I went upstairs to use the toilet and Greg was standing outside. I tried to walk by him but as I did, he grabbed me by the collar, said to me that he'd been eating nothing but beans for the past two days straight, and aimed the most ungodly fart directly at my stomach. I genuinely wanted to get sick, and I couldn't retaliate because after releasing his weapon of terror, Greg ran straight down the stairs. After a momentary pause, I headed back downstairs, grabbed my girlfriend, and we left without saying goodbye.

My Mom is upset, and said that I don't care about the family because I left early, and my Girlfriend is annoyed that with travelled all this way to not even eat Thanksgiving. I still think I did the right thing but, Am I the rear end in a top hat?

Me (F36) and my partner (M42) share a small flat with one bathroom. Every evening I enjoy a relaxing bath to unwind and de-stress. Every evening without fail my partner will interrupt me to take a massive stinking dump in the toilet right next to the bath I'm trying to relax in. Not only that but he will sit on his phone and play loud annoying videos on his phone. It totally ruins my relaxation times. I've tried to be polite and ask him to turn down the videos a bit or at least spray some air freshener, but he just laughs. He doesn't understand why this is such a big deal to me as taking a bath is purely functional to him. Tonight he waltzes in to take a poo poo while I am relaxing and I blow up at him and tell him to use the toilet when I'm done. He's really upset.

AITA for being too precious with my bath time?

EDIT To clarify, I just take a short bath, 30 mins maximum. I take my bath at random times in the evening, anywhere from 7 - 11 at night. In the past I would ask if he needed to use the bathroom, but he would say probably at some point but not give a definite answer. I've spoken tonight after our arguement and he says he likes having company on the toilet

idk one of my brothers' girlfriend is kind of like that, there is no hill small enough for her to die on and while most of her positions are reasonable or harmless, she can be incredibly grating to talk to. So a "non-evil Ben Shapiro" type is not that bad of a description for people who are basically decent but will never, ever admit they are or could be wrong about anything.

I’m 18, my brother is 20. After supper I asked him “can you show me how far you can stretch your fingers back?” He asked me why and I said “because it does the opposite of impress me.” He said “I’m not showing you though, you are asking me to show you.” I agreed with him and then he said “well why don’t you make like a tree and gently caress off.” As a joke I grabbed a nearby glass of water and splashed him in the face. I only did this because the cup was almost empty, only had 1/3 of a cup of water in the glass. He got upset and left without saying anything which annoyed me that he got upset about it and I let out a groan.

A day or two later he asked me for an apology because my water splash had upset him. But I was surprised he was upset at me because telling me to gently caress off is almost equal to me splashing a small amount of water on him. The situation has gotten worse everytime it’s talked about because it’s not a big deal to me and he is adamant in his position about me being in the wrong.

So am I the rear end in a top hat?

Re uploading because I didn't respond to the judgement bot

I (27) have been with my girlfriend (25) for three years.

She is absolutely wonderful in every aspect aside from when it comes to getting her gifts.

She ALWAYS snoops until she finds out what I or her friends and family got for her.

It's very frustrating because I put a lot of thought into her gifts and I'm always excited to see her reaction but I can tell she's just pretending to be surprised.

This year I made her promise not to go snooping for her gift or else I would get her something small. She promised and I went all out.

She's very into makeup but has it all on a small coffee table with a hand mirror. I wanted to get her a bigger space to work so I found a pretty pricey vanity with a mirror built into it.

It wasn't breaking the bank but it was definitely more than anything I had ever gotten for her before.

I ordered it a few weeks ago. Last week, I caught her listing the table for sale and asked her what that was about. She said she wasn't going to be needing it for much longer and I immediately knew she was snooping.

I was so angry I canceled her gift. It was supposed to arrive yesterday, I suppose she saw that when she was snooping too, because when no package came she asked me about it. I told her what I did. She blew up, called me selfish, and told me to get out (of my house).

She's never acted like this before and I was very taken aback. She said she's just curious by nature and has anxiety about what gift she's getting and needs to know. She does have problems with anxiety so I understand where she's coming from. Did I overreact?

AITA for canceling my girlfriend's christmas gift and not buying her another?

I feel like the thing to do if someone keeps snooping for Christmas gifts is to tell them right out the gate what you got them. Don't let them have any feeling of surprise opening up the gift, and take away the fun of snooping. And when they get upset, just remind them that they proved they couldn't be trusted to not act like a child.

Or break up with them because at that point trust is broken regardless.
