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.

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?

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 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 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 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.

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.

AITAH for Refusing to Be My Sister’s Maid of Honor After She Chose a Celebrity Over Me?

I (28F) have always had a close relationship with my younger sister, Lisa (25F). Growing up, we were inseparable—sharing secrets, supporting each other through tough times, and celebrating our victories together. So when Lisa got engaged to her longtime boyfriend, I was thrilled and assumed I would naturally be her maid of honor. Things took an unexpected turn when Lisa attended a charity event and met a popular celebrity. They hit it off, and now she wants this celebrity to be her maid of honor instead of me! When she told me, I was taken aback. I tried to muster up support and happiness for her, but inside, I felt completely crushed and replaced. At first, I kept my feelings to myself. I congratulated her, trying to hide the hurt that was bubbling up. But the more I thought about it, the more it stung. I’ve been there for her through thick and thin, and it felt like she valued a fleeting celebrity moment more than our bond as sisters. After a few days of wrestling with my emotions, I approached Lisa and shared how I felt. I explained that while I understood her excitement, I felt hurt and undervalued. I wanted to be part of her special day, to create beautiful memories together as sisters, rather than being sidelined for someone she hardly knows. Lisa’s reaction caught me off guard. She became defensive, accusing me of being selfish and trying to take away her moment with someone she admires. That really hurt. After that conversation, I made the difficult decision to step back from the wedding altogether. I declined to help with any planning or participate in the festivities. Now, my family is divided. Some support me, while others think I’m overreacting. I can’t shake the feeling that I’m not just losing my role as maid of honor; I’m losing my sister. So, AITAH for refusing to be her maid of honor and stepping back from her wedding plans?

AITAH for getting uncomfortable because my (now ex) girlfriend was crushing on 2 actors?

So basically she was always into some very famous actors, but I never really questioned it, and I felt like it was reasonable that she liked these actors, because she said she still felt romantic feelings towards me. However, one day she put up a note on their instagram, saying "I know I have a bf, but like, [Actor 1] and [Actor 2]. This made me feel uncomfortable and a little disrespected, even though it was clearly a joke, so I just brought it up with her, saying that I didn't really like that she was saying these things, and she completely understood how I felt. However, a few hours later she told me that she took back what she said, and said that she never said that she liked them more than me, and that she felt frustrated with me because I felt uncomfortable and disrespected. She said everyone clearly knew it was a joke, and that the actors were 37 years older than her, and she could never feasibly get with them. We settled the issue, and broke up a few months later for different reasons, but was I the asshole for feeling uncomfortable and disrespected for when she was saying that she like A-list celebrities more than me? I understood it was a joke it just made me feel weird.

AITA for asking my 'famous' friend to take a selfie with a fan?

This morning I (23F) met a childhood friend (24F) who is now famous on TikTok. We rarely get together nowadays because she’s been busy and I never got to see her as this sort of ‘celebrity’ in public, so to speak. Anyway, we were having coffee and a girl, who was like 10 or 11, recognized her; I think the girl’s mother was in the line to get their order and the girl came all by herself to our table. My friend was texting someone when she approached us, and the girl asked her if she could get a selfie. To my surprise my friend just kept texting, like, she didn’t acknowledge the girl at all! I was a bit shocked to be honest, but I thought my friend could not have heard her because the girl didn’t speak loudly, in fact she appeared to be shy. So the girl was left standing there and this awkward pause, so I called my friend by her name and said: ‘This girl wants a picture’. And my friend indulged her request but seemed bothered to do so. After the girl left, my friend turned to me and said something like: ‘don’t you ever put me on the spot like this again, if I wanted to take a selfie I would have answered her myself’. I couldn’t believe she was saying that. Then she went on to say how she didn’t even her make up done and didn’t want to be bothered. I told her she could have answered the girl even if to say she couldn’t take a picture right now, how could she just ignore her? Then my friend said “You don’t understand”, and that was the end of it. AITA here?

WIBTA if I told my girlfriend that she's a terrible actress?

My (26M) girlfriend (24F) is a major theater nerd, and will always find herself up on the stage somehow, in every occasion. It's her dream to be an actress in Hollywood, and to her credit, she's drop-dead gorgeous. However, she cannot act to save her life. I've been to one of her plays (Lady Windermere's Fan, for curious people), and she is over-the-top, cringe, and downright embarrassing in some scenes. The concept of putting on an accent is completely foreign to her, since she performed this entire British satire in a Brooklyn accent. Her line deliveries have no depth behind them, and she struggles to convey even the most basic emotional beats. In one of the most emotional scenes of the play, the people beside me were quietly giggling at her line delivery. I've read reviews of that production, and she's consistently being cited as the single-worst part of it, dragging the entire show down. And yet, she thinks she did a fantastic job, and dismisses any criticism as jealousy. WIBTA if I told her that her acting is terrible and unconvincing?

AITA for insisting that the Gene Wilder version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the original version?

Me and my ex broke up a few months ago, ending a 4 year long relationship. It was my first ever relationship, and some arguments we had just kept bugging me. I do not regret my breakup, I just need some advice on if I was wrong to keep insisting on my point. The conversation started with us discussing the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with my ex stating the version with Jonny Depp was his favourite. Now the argument started when he said that the Jonny Depp version was 'the original'. Now. I of course had heard about the movie, and while i had never actually seen it, I knew enough to know that the original was, in fact the version starring Gene Wilder in 1971. I have no idea why, but he just kept insisting that no, i was wrong, and that the one with johnny depp was the original. I reiterated the definition of the word 'original', the film that came first, the oldest. I assured him that i was not trying to say that one firm was better than the other, i just simply could not agree with him saying that the 2005 version was the original. I even looked it up on Google and showed it to him. His response was that the Johnny Depp version was more popular than the Gene Wilder version anyway, no one even remembers it. I begged to differ, arguing that a lot of the theory videos I saw on youtube (Film theory and some others) referenced the Gene Wilder version. And i was quite sure that it had a pretty loyal fanbase, otherwise it wouldn't have inspired a remake. Tell me why this guy kept arguing on this one point for close to 10 minutes. His whole logic was that 'Its the original version to me, so its the original version period.' I tried in vain to explain why thats not how it works, you cant change facts... Now i know this is very petty of me to keep harping on that one point. But keep in mind these few facts about my ex: 1. He has always prided himself as being an old soul: always listening to billy joel, queen etc, he would often insult my own musical choices (i like indie, and songs that tell a story, eg. the funnyman's smile.) Whenever i try to introduce a song to him, he would often look at how popular it was vs how good it was. He sometimes would tell me how my song choices were pretty shit. I hated that. 2. He views himself with a very 'woe is me', the world revolves around him, everything is someone else's fault, but if you tell him this he would never admit it. Everytime something went wrong he would turn to me and say this is proof that the universe is against him. 3. He has always thought of himself as street smart, wise, and especially smarter than me. He would often call me naive and careless, which i could understand at first because i lived a privileged and sheltered lifestyle, but as the years went by this never changed and he would often take credit for things i did saying ' see, i taught you that, im so proud of you etc. I used to think that any problems in a relationship could be solved with proper communication, but what do i do if i encounter someone like this again? He knows the facts but insists otherwise, its not logical (oh and i forgot to mention he believes in the occult, ghosts and third eyes). Was I in the wrong? Should I not have insisted on my stance so strongly? Help. TLDR: Need advice on an argument with an ex regarding Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

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.
