My wife joked about my size in front of all our friends and now I want a divorce

Guys, I literally don’t know what to do after this weekend. Posting from a burner account since I am connected with a lot of friends and family on my account. The issue here happened Saturday night. We had our friend group over. There are 6 of us couples in there and we were hosting at our house. The night was progressing pretty normal, we had done dinner and were just hanging on the couches chatting. Everyone had been drinking over the course of the evening so we were all pretty comfy. My wife Amy (all names fake) was talking with one of other girls about my new job. I recently got a promotion that comes with a nice raise. The down side is that I have to travel a decent amount (up to 2 weeks a month, but only 3-4 days at a time at most). We were excited for the changes the extra income will provide and how it will change our future so the travel was something we agreed to being worth it. As they were chatting her friend Pamela was talking about how they make it work since her husband also travels for work a lot. The conversation was actually quite helpful honestly in a lot of ways as there were some good ideas in there! That is until it happened. Heidi jokingly said “and be sure to order some sex toys that are the same size as him so you can still have sex while he is gone!” Now she was giggling, just making light of the fact that I would be gone and that the biggest challenge they had was the interruption to their sex life. No harm in this right? That is until my wife says it. “I don’t think they make them that tiny”. Guys - I went totally pale. Everyone stopped talking and you could just feel the awkwardness in the room. I think she realized what she had said because she tried to back peddle. But the damage was done. I just stared at her in disbelief. She just kept trying to back peddle and saying “I’m so sorry” I just stood up and walked out. I didn’t know what to say or do. I headed over to a buddies house (I was sober, I don’t drink). I didn’t tell him the story just that we had an argument. But I feel so violated by Amy. Now the back story here - what she said is most likely true. I am not endowed, at all. I have known this my whole life basically. Any guy can back me up when I say we are all conscious of our size. I’m just under 3” hard. I have ALWAYS been super insecure about it. But our sex life also was never lacking because I made up for it in other ways in the bedroom and she has never lacked in the orgasm department we just get there order ways sometimes. Now here is where I feel like the AH - I want to divorce her. I feel so violated. I feel like I can never see these friends again. I feel like ALL they will be thinking about when I am around is her comment and well “how tiny is it really”. But my AH feeling comes in because I also have known for a long time that it is small, so I steered into the skis I guess you could say and am more submissive in the bedroom and enjoy it when she pokes fun at it in the bedroom. But that was just us. But I just feel so violated with it being now public knowledge. But I also may have made my bed here by being okay with the dirty talk? I don’t know. And for those wondering yes she has called and texted a ton yesterday apologizing for outing me, but I told her I needed space for a bit. Honestly I don’t even know if I’ll read the replies. I just needed to vent this somewhere And I have no one to talk to about it. My buddy I’m staying with just thinks we had a fight. I feel so lost. I feel like an AH, but just don’t know if I can trust her again, or feel secure enough to see any of them again.

Friend's Girlfriend Laughed About Almost Getting Us Killed by a Bear So I Banned Her

So the situation involves my friend Alex (27M), his GF (21F), my husband (29M), and myself (27F). Last year we all went on a camping/ fishing trip that we do annually, but last year was the first time Alex’s girlfriend joined. His gf is a really nice person but she’s not super outdoorsy and can be a bit absent-minded at times. Here's the issue: last year we were hiking in bear country and during peak bear season. Normally this isn't an issue, but you have to be vigilant and know what to do if you do encounter a bear! So last year before we headed out on our hike I asked my friend if he’s given his gf the 411 on what to do if we see a bear, he hadn’t so he asked me to. In super simple terms I explained that if you see a grizzly bear (most common in that area) do NOT scream and do NOT run. Avoid eye contact or sudden movement and back away slowly if they aren't moving. She listened but I could tell she was kind of blowing me off, she also wasn’t interested in carrying bear spray or learning how to use it. So lo-and-behold the four of us run into a bear. It was after a pretty sharp turn so we, and the bear were all startled. Alex’s GF reacts in the worst way imaginable: starts screeching at the top of her lungs and sprinting back down the way we came. The bear started charging so I deployed the bear spray which scared it off. We then collected Alex’s gf and went back. We pretty much all agree that if we hadn’t had the bear spray we would have been screwed My beef is that Alex’s gf treated the whole thing like a big joke afterwards… she posted IG stories laughing about the whole thing and has basically shown 0 embarrassment or regret over her stupid ass behavior. I didn’t say anything at the time, but my husband and I agreed to basically never go anywhere outside a city with her again haha. Issue is Alex and his gf kept asking when we’re doing our “annual trip” and his gf made a joke about wanting “round 2 with the bear”. I decided instead of continuing to make excuses to just be straight up with them: I explained I didn’t find the experience nearly as funny as they did and that I was not willing to go anywhere near wildlife with Alex’s gf until she smartens up. Now Alex is pissed I’m “holding a grudge” his gf is pissed that I “called her stupid” and my husband thinks I was rude for telling them the actual reason we aren't willing to go with them this year. AITA here?

I made a joke at my wedding and found out the truth.

Me(34F) and my husband(35M) have been married for 1 week. A little back story. My husband was planning to propose for 5 years but could never find the right time because he had to travel around the world for his job. We were dating for 7 years and when it was time for our wedding, I had seen a video of some people who had been married for 15 years. The bride blew dust off her vows, and I thought it was very cute. I was writing my vows and saw the video. I was in awe. That was so smart. So, its three days before our wedding and I make sure no one knows about my vows. My husband was trying to hear a snippet of my vows. I told him that I couldn't tell him anything. He was a little irritated because he wanted to make sure I wasn't planning or saying something rude. I told him to not worry. The wedding day arrives, and we start the ceremony. It's amazing and all is going well. I look at him and noticed he's starting to get more anxious the closer we get to the vows. When it was time, I pulled out my vows on a piece of paper. Earlier I had added sand to blow on the paper and I blow it on the floor. Everyone in the audience starts to laugh and you can see he looks mad. The rest of the day he kept his cool and just ignored it. The next day, I woke up and went to the kitchen. He was sipping coffee and was very quiet. I asked what was wrong. He tells me that I embarrassed him. I asked him when. He tells me that the vows were embarrassing for him because he doesn't like when I talk to him about that. I asked him what that is. he keeps telling me that he doesn't like me talking about that. I was confused. That? I ask him again and he snaps. He starts to yell at me about how the topic of dating for seven years. He wanted to propose earlier but there was some else that he was into but married me because of my money. I started to cry. He hasn't talked to me in days, and I want to divorce.

My husband spent all day roasting me so I finally told him he was a joke

My hubby kept making jokes at me all day yesterday. I felt more like they were digs and after the first few I pulled him on it. For example we finished an episode of our show and then I said I was going to go clean the house. He said “that will make a change” and started laughing. I do literally all the housework so I wasn’t impressed but let it go. Anyways fast forward to the evening after a whole day of this (jokes about me as a wife/mother), he sends me this dating joke about how if you’re looking to date a woman with a sense of humour you’re SOL since they don’t exist. I said “reallly?” He replied I only just proved his point, that I had no sense of humour. Fed up I replied “well I must do, since I married you and you’re a whole feckin joke.” Now he’s been sulking and barely talking to me. Did I take it too far? AITA? If so I will apologize. Tl;dr- hubby made jokes all day. I made one back but may have taken it too far.

I Proposed To My Girlfriend And She Said 'No' As A Joke In Front Of Everyone

My (25F) girlfriend, Molly (26F) for the last... 6 months started with a joke that I've already made clear that I don't like. It consists of her saying "No" quickly to anything I ask. I know it sounds silly, but I ask her to get a glass of water for me, she says no and after 1 minute, I'm almost getting up, she says she's joking and gets some water. I ask her to wash the dishes, she says no.... I say I LOVE YOU, she says no... I ask her to take her clothes, she says no. Everything is joking and after 30s/1min, she does it, but she is "addicted" to doing it. I've already made it clear several times that I don't like it, even more so in I LOVE YOU (she's the only person I can say that, so it's special to me). And there are things that are serious and I need her to answer seriously. And if she says no to everything jokingly, I can't tell when she's saying a real no (it's already happened). I keep saying this is boring and I don't like it, she stops doing it and goes back to doing it after a week. After a brief discussion because she played this prank in front of our friends (Me asking "love, can you get me some medicine?" and she with No kidding), she stopped doing it for 1 month. Yesterday, we welcomed my parents, in-laws and our 2 best friends to our house. Everyone knew that I was going to propose to her and I called them, because we always planned this proposal with our loved ones attending, participating in this special day. I asked her to marry me and she said a quick NO and I was so grumpy/panic/upset (everyone looking in shock) for 30s for her to laugh and say she was joking, finally saying YES. I was so embarrassed and…disappointed? I put the ring box back in and said I'd take it out to cool off. I didn't even let her say anything. She kept texting me (no answering calls), saying it was just a joke and that I knew she always did that. She said that I left an difficult situation in the house because it was very clear that I had given up on propose and did in front of my parents and in-laws. She stressed that I was making the situation uncomfortable because of a silly joke. Well, I slept in a hotel and I'm still in it. My parents supported me, but my in-laws calling me AH for giving up on proposing, disproportionately humiliating their daughter. I just really think there's time for jokes and that moment wasn't clearly, she knew I didn't like it and decided to do it anyway. AITA?

MIL Joked About My Next Marriage So I Canceled The Whole Wedding And Tagged Everyone

I (22F) and my fiance (26 M) had our wedding date set for October of next year. We announced it 3 months ago at a family barbecue, and everyone seemed excited. We’ve been engaged for a little over a year now, and we wanted to announce the date before we even sent out invitations so everyone could plan for it. Our initial plan to pay for the wedding went as followed: we save $500 each month for a year. We are getting married at the small-town family church, so $6,000 is plenty to cover what we need. A week after the announcement my parents (brides parents) gave a very generous $2,000 donation to the wedding. My parents and my partners have about the same finances. My parents decided to skip their spring break trip to donate. My mother-in-law heard about the donation. (we thanked my parents publicly but didn’t specify the amount.) She decided at the next family gathering to ask my parents about it, where she learned the amount and how they afforded that. There was some conversation before I walked over, but this is what I heard my MIL say to my fiancé: “Don’t worry, I’ll pay for your next one.” (My MIL hasn’t ever liked me, she says I’m dramatic. She’s probably right tbh.) My fiancé told her firmly to shut up. My parents looked pissed off as well. My mom said she didn’t think it was fair that the brides side (of 6 people, small family), donated more than my finances side (20 people). I don’t have any grandparents or aunts and uncles left, so my family is smaller. I told them that I love their donation, but my MIL’s side does not need to donate. My MIL responded with a snappy, “I’m not giving up my vacation just because you two are broke.” I got pissed, and told her again that I don’t want any money from her. Mid-April, my MIL posts on Facebook about her spontaneous New York 5-day Vacation with other members of my fiancés side of the family. My parents got very offended, thinking that if they had enough for a spontaneous vacay, why don’t they help pay for the wedding. I think they exaggerated the trip out of spite, but I still kinda agree. BUT at the end of the day it’s their money. Now it’s May and both sides of the family are posting sassy Facebook posts, messaging inappropriate comments, and some not even talking. I posted on Facebook that we’re putting the wedding off for now. I posted “We are no longer planning our wedding for October. We want to be married and supported by loving family members, and we all know we’ve been lacking at that recently. We will replan the wedding at a later date.” I tagged everyone, and now everyone’s mad at me. I tried to stay out of the drama, but seriously- wtf! AITA/ what do I do now??

My Wife Lied About Adopting for Years Only to Laugh in My Face When I Brought It Up

Quick story. Me 30 and my wife 32 have been together for 6 years and married for 4. Back before we got married she confessed that she couldn't have kids naturally due to medical issues that are untreatable, and I said that was ok as long as she was willing to adopt. She said yes to being willing to adopt back then, and recently thanks to my job we're in a position financially to start the process. Well for last couple years when I talked about it she dodged the subject untill last October when talked about adopting a little girl age 8 that we've known for awhile and wife acted like she was considering it. So a couple days ago I brought it back up to her and got my heartbroken. Basically she first tried to say that we were too old to deal with children, followed by interrogations of why I want children, accused me of not liking children, followed by the real answer was "that wife will not take care of another person's child or love them because she didn't make them." The reason I'm considering divorce is because after that answer I was holding back tears and asked her "what about little girl age 8, I thought you loved her?"... Her response was to laugh in my face and tell me it was a F@#$& joke.... I feel like I've been betrayed and took advantage of. I've done everything in my power to make wife happy, cars large appliances, bigger house, listen to her problems, pay bills, pay for surgeries, and the list goes on. AITAH? : update: I just wanted to thank everyone who read or commented and showed their support and offer a very special thank you to the certain few who decided to reach out to me personally. This has honestly been a complete emotional rollercoaster for me. Reading the comments really helped me build enough strength up to work through this bad situation. I can't thank you folks enough. *1st about the little girl- I will not be able to adopt as a single parent until I pass a psychiatric evaluation, but I'm still allowed to volunteer at the group home and if nothing else my mom and dad have agreed to adopt her. My mom is only 50 and although it would be a little weird at first I won't mind being the much older brother vs a dad. I just want to make little girl happy. *2nd I did take y'all's advice to talk to a therapist and it really helped me figure some things out about myself and get my feelings under control long enough to talk to my wife. The therapist really recommends me taking a personal vacation by myself after this is all over. *3rd I removed anything that I would miss from the house a few days ago and talked to the wife yesterday about my feelings and made it clear that I didn't want her in my life anymore. After what she said to me I can't bring myself to trust her or even sleep in the same bed anymore. She of course cried and called all of our friends and her parents to tell them how much of a bad person I was, but quickly found out that I had already talked to them last week. She's moving out this weekend and thanks to her mom's intervention has agreed to file uncontested for now at least. *4th a special thanks to my mooching brother-in-law for telling their mom what his sister did. If not for him listening in on our conversation that night, I really feel like this would've become a legal battle with lawyers. Basically the only people mad at me now are the wife and her dad's side of the family.

Enabling Wife Defends Her Husband From Her Family After He Made An Offensive Adoption Joke That Ruined Their New Year's Eve Dinner

I've been married to my 2nd Husband "Mike" for 4 years now. He's a jokester and loves to crack jokes all the time. He especially like to joke with my brother "Ethan" and his wife. Ethan used to be okay with it til he started complaining about Mike taking it too far with his jokes. Some context about Ethan. He and his wife couldn't have kids so they adopted a boy "Joey" 2 years ago. Mike has been making silly, lighthearted jokes that involving Joey's bio parents as a way to mess with Ethan and his wife. I already talked to Mike and I tell you that he's 100%means no harm and he was just trying to get them to react. So fast forward to NYE, my parents hosted a big celebratory dinner and Ethan and his wife came. While we were eating dinner, Mike decided to tell a knock-knock joke to Ethan. He said "Knock knock.." Ethan laughed and said "Who's there?". Mike replied "Joey's bio parents" then he bursted out laughing. Silence took over and Ethan's facial experssions changed. His wife called Mike an "idiot" to which Mike replied with "Hey...Relax it was just a joke". An argument ensued and dinner was paused. My parents suddenly told Mik to leave which I thought was too harsh. I tried to speak to them and get them to calm down but mom insisted that Mike leave. We left and Mike was complaining the whole time about how they overreacted. I called mom later and she told me Mike was out of line with his hurtful jokes about this touchy topic and told me I was wrong for defending him and saying he was just joking. She said he ruined NY for the family but I told her it was her and dad who ruined NY celebration for escalating the situation and kicking him out. I told her he could talk to them but again they were the ones who ruined NY celebration. She called me delusional for this statement and hung up. We haven't talked to them for days. I tried contacting Ethan but no response.

I Compared My Dad And Stepmom To My Toddlers And The Whole Party Burst Out Laughing

Recently my dad and my step-mom "Sarah" decided to renew their vows since they both cheated on their partners they feel the wedding experience was ruined for them. They wanted a small together at their house to discuss some plans with the whole family, my wife(25f) and I(30M) informed them that we couldn't make it because my wife had to attend an engagement party with my mom(52F) but they insisted that my wife and my mom come directly to their house after their party. My wife is Indian so she dressed up in her traditional attire and my made my mom wear it too because she really wanted to wear a saree and they both looked gorgeous so when they arrived at the everyone(my dad's side of the family and Sarah's friends) were fawning over them and if I'm not wrong some of my Sarah's male friends were hitting on my mom. We were just hanging around the living room area when I saw my twin sons(4M) starting a fight because when one of them has something the other one gets jealous so I ran to put a stop to them because they might break it when I went there I saw Sarah and my dad just sitting on the sofa so I asked them what happened and they told me they feel the attention has been shifted from them (I knew they meant my wife and my mom) while they were telling me this my twins started fighting again so I said "Boys if you don't stop getting jealous of each other like your grandfather and Sarah iI will put all 4 of you in time-out" some of my dad and Sarah's friends heard it and started laughing and soon it became a laughing matter, it died down when they announced they were renewing their vows and everything so the dinner went well and we left. The next day I get a call from both my dad and Sarah telling me how much of an asshole I was and how I made them a laughing stock in front of everyone so I told them I wouldn't have done it if they hadn't acted like children. I have been getting texts from my brothers saying I was an asshole for ruining their day. So Reddit, AITA

Friend bragged about sleeping through the night while his wife suffers and I couldn't stop laughing

So I'm playing poker with a few friends last night. Most of them are dads. We're all in our 30s. This friend of mine has a 3 month old. He's a weird guy in general (I've known him forever, he's never been giving; ie, tipping 5{39ca6eb452c0ce4419cd73a8f3bd18a23fe95ab4febb092bc2ab1b542eeea82f} when we go out, asking to split the check with his girlfriends on their birthdays, etc). I should also say that he is semi-employed, sets his own hours, and works from home. Anyway, I ask him how fatherhood is treating him, and he said great. I said, isn't it hard to get sleep with a newborn? And he said "my wife deals with night time. I sleep through the night." Another friend asked him what that meant -- he said "I need to sleep because I have work." And I said "but don't most dads help out at night?" and he said "I can't. I need to be rested for work" -- at this point, all the dads --- who have full time jobs, unlike my friend -- are laughing and saying things like "yeah, so do I. But I'm not sleeping!" So I say "but isn't your wife kind of working all the time herself?" and he again says "I have to work in the morning" and I just break out laughing. Like I can't stop. He looks at me like "WTF" and I say "dude, you can't help your wife at night? Like change a diaper?" and then he seemed to get mad and said "I have to sleep to be ready to work in the morning!" Anyway, am I the asshole for laughing at him? His wife is a little meek, so she'd definitely never say anything to him, but I'm kind of glad we all made fun of him for not helping his wife at night? EDIT: they don't have an arrangement where he helps out during the day

AITAH for laughing at my sister’s pointed Christmas gift of a strap-on for my girlfriend?

My sister and I (male) are civilised to each other but we are not as close as I am with my brother. One thing she still resents me for is that I tended to have sex with several of her female friends growing up. After I would end things with them, they would in turn want nothing to do with her. It is regrettable but I want to add these relationships were always consensual. She has become quite close with my girlfriend (not in a sexual way, although I probably would accept it as payback if they ever did get together). Anyhow, as an edgy gift, she got my girlfriend a strap-on. When I queried about the bizarre nature of the gift, she said “I thought she could fuck you, the same way you fucked all my friends growing up, and see how you like it.” I think she was expecting me to be offended but I found it funny instead, which didn’t go round well.

Redditor Embarrasses Her FIL After He Tried To Joke About Her Past As An Escort

I (27F) used to be an ''*escort*'' (h\*oker) from 18 until I was 23, I'm not proud of it but I also don't give a fuck because I did what I had to do to keep studying and a roof over my head. That's how I met my now fiancé (37M) tho he was never my client. We began to date when I was 25 and three or four months after that his BIL ''exposed me'' (no idea how he found out) because *there's no way my fiancé knew* and thus we had to come clean in front of his whole family. Yes I did that. Yes he knows. Yes he doesn't care. It was 2 years ago (at that time), we got over it. After that there was a span of 3-4 months in were my MIL and some of my fiancés aunts and cousin ''police'' their husband when I was around, it was really weird tbh because this dudes were like 40-60yo and I wasn't that desperate, so my fiancé shut their bullshit hard and even when his family still gives me the side eye from time to time, we thought it was behind us. He proposed last year and five months ago we found out that I was pregnant, we were really happy about it and we told his family as soon as we knew. His sisters and young brother were happy for us, but his mom took me aside and *begged* me to be honest with her and asked if this was really my fiancés child, I was taken aback but I just rolled my eyes and said yes, she gave me some shitty speech about how ''she only wanted to make sure'' and that ''she was happy to be a grandmother''. Well, last weekend we were at his parents with his family and some of his friendsand we were talking about the name, how he might look (small talk, we will love him regardless but there's always some ''*Oh I hope he gets your nose!*'' ''*mmh I like your eyes, I hope he gets them*'' comments) and my FIL said that he and his children have a birthmark in the inner tight and that even his grandchildren (one of my SIL's kids) got them, so our baby might too, and then he said ''But how can we know from who he got it? it may as well be from me, my boy or my brothers'' and he and his brothers began to laugh. My fiancé got mad and before he could say anything I said ''I don't get it'' and my FIL was ''yeah because it runs in the family'' and I said again ''I don't get it, why would he get it from you?'' and he began to get nervous and said ''because you know... it's just a joke OP'' and I said ''but I don't get it and you all laughed, explain'' it got to the point that some of his friends said ''hey, it's not funny'' so he he excused himself and left. Later my fiancé's BIL came to me and said that I was wrong for embarrassing him like that in his own house and that I knew what the joke was about and *because of my past*, I shouldn't be surprised. Now they're all demanding that I apologize to my FIL.

My Son Made A Racist Joke… So I Made Him Apologize Face To Face

About a week ago, my (39F) family ordered Chinese food for delivery. When the driver arrived, my daughter (16F) was in the middle of taking our cat upstairs because he always tries to get into the food. Right as I was opening the door, my son (13M) loudly said, “Make sure to hide the cat from the Chinese guy!” The delivery driver clearly heard it and looked visibly upset. I quickly apologized to him and took the food, but I was honestly shocked and embarrassed by what my son had just said. Afterward, I sat my son down and explained that racist jokes are completely unacceptable and harmful. Instead of understanding, he doubled down and refused to admit he had done anything wrong. So later that night, I made him write a sincere apology letter to the delivery driver, whose name we had from the receipt. On top of that, I had him write a one-page paper about Chinese culture and another one about how racism is reinforced through jokes and stereotypes. The next day, I took him back to the restaurant. I had him read his apology out loud to the driver and personally hand over the papers he had written. The driver was genuinely touched and thanked me for making my son take responsibility. He also took a moment to tell my son about several real experiences where he had been on the receiving end of racist comments and behavior while working as a delivery driver. Later that night, my husband (43M) and I ended up arguing about the whole situation. He felt that I went too far and that it was embarrassing for our son to have to apologize like that in person. He said the punishment didn’t match what he had done. I told him that it’s far more embarrassing and hurtful for someone to be treated that way because of their ethnicity, and that our son would get over feeling embarrassed. I don’t tolerate any kind of hateful mindset in our home, and what he said honestly embarrassed me as well. My husband kept insisting that it was “just a joke” and not that serious. Now I’m starting to question myself a little, but at the same time, I feel like it was important to make sure my son truly understands how wrong and hurtful his words were.

AITAH for Laughing at My Sister-in-Law After She Secretly DNA Tested My Daughter

I 30 M, have a daughter who's 6. I am not biologically related to her *at all*. There is no blood relation between us. I was friends with her mother for most all of my childhood. We were never involved romantically and were always just friends. She had her daughter at 23 with her 25 year old husband. When my daughter was a newborn (About 3 months technically) both her mother and father were k**led. I won't go into too much detail for privacy reasons, but it was workplace shooting. My friend and her husband had worked in the same building, and were both k**led. Both my friend and her husband had grown up with less than ideal families and didn't have any siblings so there wasn't any "next of kin" for their daughter to go to. However, because I was close with them I was able to adopt her. Even though I had been iffy about the idea of kids I didn't want their daughter to grow up in foster care or around people who didn't have a connection to her bio parents so I stepped in. My parents and siblings know that my daughter is not my actual daughter biologically speaking. ...𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. 🍿

So it was my birthday couple months ago. Had a party. Got some gifts. My friend “Mandy” for me a “super cute bikini”. I liked it. Said thanks. She had ripped the tags off but whatever. Anyway. Went to the community pool with my roommate. Wore bikini. Got in the water. Roommate immediately is like uhm girl.... I look and see that this bikini is now kinda see thru. Haha good joke Mandy. Anyway, Mandy invited me over to her place to hang out with her and her bf and a few others. Most leave and we’re still hanging out. I’m like hey, what if we get in your hot tub? I go change after them. And meet her bf in the hot tub she’s getting new drinks. I hop in. Immediately, he’s looking at my chest. I pretend I don’t notice and just make small talk. She comes out a few min after. And just looks in shock. Eventually gets in. “Uhh is that the one I bought?” Yeah I love it. I wear it everywhere. Make up some stuff about how I wore it to the beach, some party with lots of guys, etc. and she’s just like “oh”. We’re in the tub for 20-30. Eventually get out and change. She approached me after and was like. “Uhm I’m sorry thought you’d notice. But it goes kinda see thru”. I’m like yeah I know why’d you buy me a ducking see thru bathing suit? “She’s like it’s a joke. Wait you knew? So you just spent last 30’ flashing my bf on purpose?” I reply I’m just wearing my birthday gift from her. Anyway. Aita?

My Ex Called Me Racist In Front Of Our Son Because Of A Nelly Joke

I was talking to my son(3yo mixed black and white) on the phone and he wanted a Band-Aid on his finger cause he got a splinter the other day so he just wanted another one and I saw her put the Band-Aid on. I said you’re gonna wear a Band-Aid like Nelly for some reason I thought it was Nelly that put Band-Aids on the tip of his fingers as well his face. I was misremembering Michael Jackson was the one that put it on the tips of his fingers she called me racist for it. when I grew up in the Midwest white people was wearing the Band-Aid on the face. were they racist? She proceeded to call me a fucking racist and a lot of other things in front of my son which he repeated to me “you’re a fucking racist” which kind of broke me and I kept telling her to stop talking like that in front of him she said done a lot of things in front of them, but I don’t like. she also makes him say I’m black he’s white passing I really don’t have a problem with that. Cause I don’t understand the whole reinforcing his race thing cause Im white TL;DR my ex-wife called me racist because she was putting Band-Aids on my son’s finger And I said like Nelly. Is that really a racist thing to say? Edit I made a grave typo. I’m meant to say I really don’t have a problem with her making him say I’m black and she was the one that started the whole white passing thing.

Family

AITA For laughing and saying "sounds about right" when my brother and sister-in-law told me how exhausted they are with my out-of-control niece?

My brother "Ron" and sister-in-law "Jen" have spoiled their daughter "Alice" rotten since she was a newborn. Since Alice was a toddler, everyone in the family has told Ron and Jen they need to teach Alice boundaries, but they insist they're the ones in charge of Alice I often babysat Alice when she was young. I would tell Ron and Jen that Alice was not behaving, and they would respond by shaming me for not getting Alice exactly what she wanted or "pushing her so hard" because I told her to pick up the toys she threw on the floor. (Note: Alice was seven when this happened.) Eventually, I refused to babysit Alice and they insist I was being a bad aunt because I was "expecting so many adult things from a baby." Ron and Jen did all of Alice's homework and class projects for her. They frantically called me one night because the math tutor canceled and Alice's homework had a pre-calculus question that they weren't sure how to do the work for. I sent them the work for it that one time, but after that, I would refuse to. Alice is now seventeen and completely out of control. She screams, curses, and flips off her parents until she gets her own way. She is unlicensed and dented Ron's car several times when stealing it for joyrides. She has stolen both Ron and Jen's wallets for shopping sprees. They have caught Alice partying, drinking, vaping, and sneaking out to boys' houses. She has gotten even worse since her junior year. Ron and Jen still do her projects or pay others to do them, but the material is now too specific for Ron and Jen to understand without class notes (which Alice isn't taking for them.) Alice did not pass her junior year, and she is angry because now all her friends are doing senior things that she can’t join in on. Ron and Jen called me the other night to tell me how exhausted they were because Alice was illegally driving again and they had to beg an officer not to send Alice to juvie. They talked about how wild **all** teens are and they're not sure where their sweet little girl went. I thought that last part was a joke and a laugh slipped out before I could stop myself. Ron got angry and asked what I thought was funny. I apologized for laughing, but I responded that Alice's behavior sounded about right because did they expect Alice to just magically become responsible and well-behaved when they have always rewarded her bad behavior? Ron and Jen started to yell at me, but I hung up. Many of my friends and family members said Ron and Jen are only angry because they didn't like hearing the truth. But most of the family is saying I have no idea how hard it is to be a parent, much less have a child like Alice. And even though the laugh slipped, I was cruel to respond to Ron and Jen that way knowing how exhausted they are. Now I'm conflicted about if I was being a dick to my exhausted brother and sister-in-law. AITA?

Student Chooses Safety Over Staying in Class and Becomes Target of Jokes

Today was my first day of the semester and my professor gave everyone Mazapan which is a mexican peanut candy. I have a severe allergy to peanuts and everyone was eating it in class and crumbs were getting everywhere and the smell of peanuts was STRONG. After the class ate the candy, we did a group activity where we had to put post it notes on the wall & write someone we look up to but everyone was touching all the markers and my contamination OCD kicked in. I felt uncomfortable and trapped so I asked to leave about 15 min early after explaining my allergy and my professor seemed offended and annoyed by that. I understand some people are uneducated about food allergies and how serious they are so I get why he was a bit confused. Was I just letting my health anxiety get to me or was that justified??
