AITAH for distancing from my wife after she called an actor handsome during our romantic movie night?

So I (35M) am currently married to my wife Sharon (29F) We've been married for 4 years, together for 7. We had our monthly movie night last night which is where we have a fun relaxation night and order doordash and eat while watching movies. We were watching a movie and we were talking about the costume and makeup work and my wife decided to make a really insensitive comment, she said "Oh yeah he's quite a handsome actor". I became livid and gave her a look. I got the remote and turned off the tv and told her movie night was done and I'm sleeping on the couch. She was confused and kept saying she obviously wanted me and nobody else. Quite frankly I didnt care because at that point it seemed kind of like cheating. She kept trying to convince me to come to bed with her but eventually quit. I haven't really spoken to her today and avoid doing so as she thought it was comfortable to admit she basically didn't like me as a husband. I honestly am contemplating a divorce because her making that comment was genuinely ridiculous and stupid and she seems to not understand how hurtful it was. AITAH for telling her off about her comment? . Update: alright so my wife still wont apologize and believes im at fault, she really is gaslighting me. She said she may go stay at her mother's house. Update 2: my wife and i had an argument about it again and she kept saying i was overreacting i had snapped and i threw a fork at her while i was eating food. I wont lie i think i may have went a tadbit overboard but she is still refusing to admit shes wrong and i told her she may have to stay with her mother for a bit and so her mother is coming to pick her up later. Update 3: My wife is now with her mother. I think her mother in law told the rest of her family as well as my family because people keep blowing up my phone and trying to hear the story of what happened. Everyone saying im insecure, how would you feel if your spouse was talking about how hot someone else was leaving you in your tracks huh?. Update 4: If I apologize to my wife will that make everyone calm down, i love my wife and i would never hurt her. Update 5: Our youngest (3M) is trying to get in the middle of it. He asked me where mommy is and I told him she's not going to be around for a while anf he started crying. I comforted my son but that wicked witch is not coming near my son again with her ways and tricks. . Update 6: Do you guys know who Lorena Bobbitt is . Update 7: I may allow my wife under the house under a few circumstances. She must apologize and wear a shock bracelet and whenever she acts up ill shock it to teach her a lesson. . Update 8: MWAHAHAHAHA thanks for the karma you fools. Check the subreddit and flair 😏. I have once again trolled the fellow users of reddit with my clever and realistic shitpost. 😈 Looks like I even broke the record here for most commented post and most shared with my other shitpost receiving 1.6k shares.

WIBTA if I brought my "famous" boyfriend to my sister's wedding?

Throw away for obvious reasons. My boyfriend is a "famous" guy. Not like, brad pitt famous or anything, but someone that my particular small town family would recognize, let's just say. Think like... country singer famous? Anyway. So my sister is sending out RSVPs for her wedding (which is like, months away, and we don't even know if it's going to get postponed because of corona). Bf and I have been dating 8ish months, and we live in a big city. Here, no one cares or bothers him much. But I understand that in a small town, any excitement is.... exciting? Basically my sister is upset that I would even think of bringing my boyfriend, because it's going to steal her thunder. Part of me gets it, but part of me is just annoyed. She and my parents have already met him, he's been to our home town before. And sure, like, our cousins and extended family haven't met him. And yes, it would be the first large family gathering that he's a part of. The conversation then turned into an argument about how famous he is or isn't (they're acting like I'm bringing Justin Bieber home), and even if I was... I guess famous people aren't allowed to date.....? My mom says I'm being unfair, but I don't think so? Am I the asshole here? ​ Update: Ok wow, rip my inbox! I can't reply individually so here goes: 1) Yes I was allowed a plus one. Yes he would be allowed to come if he wasn't "famous. Yes he would be allowed to come even if we're dating < 1 year. 2) We're living together due to quarantine, so yes it is a serious relationship, but TIL some people think 8 months is casual? 3) We're cracking up that people are trying to guess who he is. He's not a country singer! I just used that as an example of something that people in small towns are a fan of! 4) I saw a few comments saying this post is copied... I mean? I literally just typed this up. Glad to know I'm not the only one with this problem though lol ​ After reading all the replies, I **really** like the idea of us visiting home before the wedding to throw a big family gathering and get people's excitement out of the way. I'm going to talk to my sister about it and go from there. To make it clear: yes I'm still going to my sister's wedding, even if he can't come. But, reading through these comments, I feel validated that I'm allowed to go and *still* feel upset about it. I just didn't think it was fair to be labeled the asshole in the story for wanting to bring him.

AITA for bringing my fiancée to Christmas despite my famous cousin's wishes?

AITA for bringing my fiancée to Christmas despite my famous cousin's wishes?

My cousin is very famous. Yes, you have heard of him, and no, I won't tell you who he is. We'll call him Terry. When we have family functions (mainly for holidays), Terry likes for them to be only family so he can "be himself" and get drunk and pass out on the couch and share Hollywood gossip with us, otherwise he feels like he is being interviewed and having everyone talk to him or want a picture and he has to "be in promo mode." He said it's because he was tired of having to meet strangers and not be able to let loose and there were some issues of these partners taking pics of him or spreading gossip. I hated this at first because I would be dating some chick and she would want to get to meet him and it's awkward to tell them they can't come to family events and they get mad that they never get to meet him (my tinder has a pic of me with Terry). But I get it so I was fine with it. Until this year. I began dating this chick in August. I couldnt bring her to Thanksgiving, fine. But when I walk in, I see another cousin, "Danielle", has brought her boyfriend "Steve" EVEN THOUGH they've been together for less than a year!!! They got together over New Years and engaged on Halloween. Terry was fine with this because he's met Steve before (old family friend) even though I've been told that no exceptions are allowed to his rule. Thanksgiving sucked because the whole time I was mad that I once again wasn't allowed to bring my gf. My gf consoled me after and I realized that she is my soulmate. Two weeks ago, I proposed and we got engaged. Xmas was at my aunt's. Im a believer in "ask for forgiveness, not permission" so I brought my fiancée because she had nowhere else to go and I wanted her to meet my family. We walk into the house and all hell breaks loose. Everyone was asking who she was and scolding me about the rules, and Terry flipped out. He was already buzzed (and looked 20 pounds heavier than he usually presents himself) and started yelling at me for doing this to him. He didn't seem excited at all about my engagement or willing to introduce himself to her. Our grandma was telling Terry to get over it and asking to see the ring and saying she wish she had gotten my fiancé a gift, so grandma was on my side. But Terry was still arguing with me and said I shouldn't be allowed at any more events, and he ended up calling an Uber Black and leaving before we even ate. To top it all off, my uncle (who has never even liked Terry) got upset because apparently Terry was his Secret Santa so he didn't get a gift, so my uncle started blaming me for ruining Christmas. I get they are mad but it was clear there was an exception for fiancées and I'm embarrassed that my family was so rude to her when I just didn't want her to be alone on Christmas. Am I the asshole?

AITA for asking why only one baby is IG famous?

So a girl who circles our friend group, “Hannah”, recently sent me a request to follow her new baby’s Instagram. For some background, Hannah has two older boys from a past relationship, and two young children from her current marriage - “Joe” and “Emma”. Joe is only a year older than Emma. Hannah said she always wanted a girl, and would have kept trying until she got one. As more back story, Hannah enjoys social media, “likes”, follow trains, etc. Finally, Hannah and I don’t have any issues. We have always just occasionally liked and commented on each other’s posts as friends. So anyway, I get an invite to follow the girl baby, Emma. I followed the baby but then messaged, “This is cute! Does Joe have one too?” She said, “No, I just did this so everyone can keep up with the new baby”. I said “Joe is still new! We love seeing Joe. He doesn’t get to be IG famous?” Shortly after, I was blocked. I am still very confused about a lot of things. Mostly, what is going on with the baby instagrams, but secondarily, am I really an asshole for asking? Can anyone possibly explain this to me?

[Update] I walked out of my son’s kindergarten play because my wife wouldn’t shut up. Things went down at Cheesecake Factory.

I want to preface this update with an expression of gratitude to everyone who gave me advice. I received direct messages from a startling number of men who have dated or married a woman with similar issues as Claire. One of these messages led to a conversation, and something the commenter said really resonated with me: he told me that in his case, his wife doesn’t really understand the concept of guilt. She doesn’t understand phrases like “You made me feel sad when you said X,” or “The way you treated me hurt my feelings.” He eventually came to an epiphany that while trying to make her understand guilt and feelings was a waste of time, she actually had a good grasp on shame, and he was able to leverage that against her. My next run-in with Claire happened when we went out to dinner two weeks after Kevin’s play. We went to Cheesecake Factory. The problem that night began when I ordered an appetizer first, which caused Claire to immediately call me a “fucking selfish idiot.” I was apparently supposed to go Kevin’s order -> Claire’s order -> appetizer -> my order. Now, before, I would usually just fix my “mistake” to disarm Claire. But this time, I calmly responded, “You’re embarrassing yourself and making everyone uncomfortable.” Claire began showing her typical pre-tantrum signs (face going red, shaking), and while she let me finish ordering, after the waitress walked away she whisper-shouted about how terrible of a human being I was. I responded in a neutral but audible voice, “The people at the tables around us are starting to stare. You look unhinged. Do we need to take our order to go or are you going to behave?” as predicted, Claire decided to double down and cause a scene. I flagged the waitress down and said that we would be taking our order to go. Now, at that point, Claire REFUSED to move from the booth. So I simply gathered Kevin, and then walked out on her, picking our food up from the takeout counter. Long story made short, Kevin and I ate in the car overlooking a canyon, watched some movies, and went home. Claire came home later, announced she was leaving because I "abandoned her," and I eagerly helped her pack. Claire is staying at her parents' house, where Kevin has visited her a few times. We only communicate through texts now (I refuse to answer her calls), but she has admitted that being with me stresses her out so much that she acts like she wouldn't normally. I know. I know. But I'll take it. We're going to get divorced and co-parent Kevin. I wish Claire well, but the woman is a disaster, through and through.

AITA for taking my clothes off at the Cheesecake Factory?

So me [23F] and my bf [24M] were celebrating our 1 year anniversary and went out to dinner to celebrate. My bf planned it as he knows how much I love the Cheesecake Factory. I REALLY love their cheesecake (this becomes important later) Well everything was going fine and we were having a good time until an elderly man at the next table scooted his chair out just as our server was approaching, causing him to stumble and spill hot coffee on me( down my back). It was obviously burning and startled me so I instinctively screamed and pulled my shirt up. I’m pretty small chested so I don’t typically wear a bra and obviously I wasn’t thinking about that when something hot was running down my back burning me so I basically flashed all those at the tables around us. Yes I was embarrassed but at the same time it’s just boobs. I pulled my shirt back down right after realizing what happened but it was up for about 15 seconds. The server apologized over and over but it wasn’t their fault it was all just an accident. Well anyway after this my bf wanted to leave, like immediately leave. He said that I was being overdramatic for the way I reacted in the situation and maybe I was but it did startle me really bad and it did burn. He told me I had put on a show for everyone in the restaurant especially since I screamed when it happened and that we need to leave. I told him it’s not that big a deal and that I really want to stay to get cheesecake because it’s my favorite, I eventually even offered to try to get some to go and he was dead set that we need to leave and didn’t understand why I wasn’t mortified. We ended up staying but for the rest of the date he kept saying that the men at tables near us were staring at me and probably thinking about me inappropriately but I said it wasn’t my problem if they’re being gross. When we got in the car he told me i ruined our anniversary for making him sit through that and we should have just left and that he can’t believe I would choose a piece of cheesecake over his comfortability. We argued in the car the whole way home about it and Now we haven’t spoken at all today. AITA?

AITA for making a post about my daughter’s favorite celebrity being rude to us?

My daughter and I were recently on vacation. We spent the day in an area that’s known to have a lot of rich/famous people and towards the end of the day we saw one of my daughter’s favorite celebrities (we’ll call her A) walking out of a store. My daughter ran to the store but when she got near A, she was stopped by A’s security. They said that A’s there with her daughter for her daughter’s birthday and wants to focus on her daughter. My daughter was very upset because she’s been a fan of A for a very long time so she tried again for a picture but was turned away. My daughter was crushed so later that night I made a post talking about my experience with A. How she wouldn’t let anyone go near her and her daughter, the fact that her security was rude, and her not being willing to stop for a couple seconds for a picture. I understand it’s her daughter’s birthday but a 1 minute interaction with a fan isn’t going to ruin her day and if it does, that girl needs to learn that the world doesn’t revolve around her. The post ended up getting a lot of attention and a lot of people actually said my daughter and I were being entitled for expecting A to interrupt her daughter’s birthday for everyone that wants a picture. My husband also saw the post and said he couldn’t believe that I would bash her for trying to spend the day with her daughter. I’m not trying to bash her for spending the day with her daughter but she wouldn’t be where she is without her fans so I think she at least owes it to them to take a picture.

AITA for not telling people I’m not the celebrity they think I am?

I look very similar to an actor and I live in New York City. Every so often a tourist would stop me and say “oh my gosh you’re that guy!” And I used to interrupt them and say “no I’m really not.” But then this guy started starring in a TV show so became way more recognizable. It started so I was being stopped 3-5 times a day by people. Once I was in a mad rush and on the phone so when someone said “Aaahhhh you’re that guy can I take a selfie” I just smiled for the selfie and said have a great day. It was faster than explaining and insisting I’m not the guy while they accuse me of being too big for the fans, it was kind of funny to think of a picture of me floating around as a celebrity, and it was kind of nice to see how happy they looked when they thought they’d met this guy even for ten seconds. So now when people stop me I just take picture or shake their hand and move on. I thought it was just funny and never really thought much beyond that. But I was on a date the other night and the girl said “hey has anyone ever told you you look like that guy from that show” and I told her this story and she was horrified. She said it was so mean to mislead people that way. That hadn’t occurred to me and I really don’t want to be a dick to people, I thought it was something they’d eventually look back on and laugh too. Didn’t occur to me it would be so upsetting.

AITA for telling my sister that my boyfriend went to school with her favorite actress?

I (20f) was looking through some of my boyfriend's (21m) school photos and saw one with him standing next to a girl who looks shockingly like an actress (22f) who’s quite famous in our country. Played a lead role in two very successful series. I asked him if the girl in the photo is who I think she is and he nodded. A few days later I mentioned it during dinner. My sister (13f) has been begging my boyfriend to DM her and ask for a signed photo or calendar. My boyfriend always said no gently, saying he doesn’t think it would be appropriate. They were classmates but not close friends and he hasn’t spoken a word to her since their last class together back in 2021. My mom told me I shouldn’t have told my sister since now she’s got her hopes up that my bf might relent and my bf is now in an awkward position.
