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.

Husband Wouldn't Stop Making Gross Jokes About Seeing My Friend Naked So I Topped It

Ages are all late 20s early 30s. A few weeks ago my friend came over to try on some clothes. My husband came home and walked in on her changing, seeing her nearly naked. It was embarrassing and awkward, but we all got over it with some nervous laughter. Or so i thought. My husband will not drop it. Constantly making comments about it to me, and to them whenever we get together. So I invite them over to clear the air and for my husband to apologize. He does and we have drinks and play some games. My friends husband was winning and makes a comment about it, and my husband brings it up again! But this time it felt like it was to be hurtful. We've all had enough of it, and I certainly have too. So I whipped off my top and bra and say "Now everyone's seen my tits so you can finally DROP IT!". That was this weekend and hes been pretty upset, but I don't think he realized how upset he has been making everyone else feel. I'm starting to think I went too far but I also think I had to do something. I left out a lot of details but that's the gist of it. So am I the asshole? Edit: It was pointed out I should add some info. We have talked about it, many times. Little fights and big ones. He just says stuff like "oh i'm just joking". He has made comments to me in private about it, and in front of the other couple. He thinks hes just being funny or something i'm not really sure. He's always been a bit crass but never insulting like this. We're doing okay, we are both upset and both realizing we messed up and I'm going to suggest we see councilor to mend this up. And I don't think they were really offended about seeing me, probably more mortified about the blow up. Edit 2: okay so... This has got to a point where I can't really reply to each comment. And maybe I should have posted this in r/relationship_advice? Well anyways here's a little more info. To the people saying I "forced them to see my boobs without their consent". I've known her almost half my life and feel I know her husband well enough to have a pretty good gauge on how they would feel about it. And you can see boobs out in public in some places, I didn't masterbate infront of them, Jesus. This isn't the end of our relationship or friendship. Yeah we're both pissed at eachother, but some of you are making it wayy more worse than it sounds. I've been talking to my friend and we just want everything to be water under the bridge. I definitely come to the conclusion with a lot of your comments that there's something more here going on that we will be talking about. I know it's hard not to judge a person based on this post, but it's only been the smallest portion of our relationship. This is out of character for him. The best way I can describe his normal behavior is like the brother in law Hank from breaking bad. He can be a ball buster but he obviously took it too far this time. I'm not going to post my tits. I'm going to talk to him tonight and I'll make a final edit. I don't really know what the verdict here is, but yeah two wrongs don't make a right. I don't normally do this sort of thing and I was embarrassed the next morning. A lot of people called us immature, and yeah I'll have to accept that as the whole thing was pretty childish. Final Edit: Well is not as insightful as I was hoping, but we did talk tonight. We both apologized to each other (again) and he's going to apologize to them. He knows he took it too far and acted childish and regrets it. I showed him the post and we read a few of the comments, some of which were really helpful and we both felt pretty embarrassed. As to why he was so obsessed, he really didn't have an answer. I asked if he had a crush on my friend, if he thought I didn't look good anymore, if he was jealous or resented them. He said no to all, but admitted he may be a little jealous (i guess). But we didn't go too far into it. When i brought up counseling he pushed the idea saying we didn't need it. I told him don't think of it like therapy more as getting out your thoughts with a mediator present and he eventually agreed ( we did pre-marriage counseling before). I think we are okay, not perfect but okay and the counseling will help.

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.

I Made A Cruel Joke About My Girlfriend's Nannies And Now She's Dumping Me

Throwaway account because i don't want this linked to my reddit account. I (21m) have a girlfriend named Anna (21f) who comes from a very rich family while I came from a middle class family and while i did grow up with a lot of privileges none of them were in the same level as her's. Anna grew up in a home where house staff, nannies and body guards were common place and while she's a very nice and down to earth person she always had a very sheltered reality. For exemple, she's the kind of person who has a savings account, doesn't eat out every day and regularly donates to charity but thinks that apple products are perfect gifts for whenever she doesn't know what to get someone. A few days back we were talking about holidays and i asked her how she spent mother's day, since her Mother died when she was a baby and her father never remarried. She just said that the only unsual thing she did on mother's day was that she visited her mom's grave in the morning with her father. I got confused by that then i asked her how she spent the rest of the day and she mentioned that growing up she would make cards and give them to the Nannies and they would spend the day playing and eating the sweets she asked her father to order. I just kinda laughed at that point and she asked me what i was laughing about, then i told her "You know the Nannies were just doing their jobs, right" she got annoyed and told me that she knew but they raised and loved and the least she could do was to give them their due. Annnd that where i think i might be the asshole, after she told me that i joked "Yeah, i bet the fat paycheck certainly helped them to love you." because when i said that she got quiet, grabbed her things and left. Since them she's been cold towards me and told me she's rethinking our relationship but i really think she's overreacting. What do you guys think, am i the asshole?. Edit: So, after i posted my post and saw how it blew up with everyone ripping me into a new one i was still skeptical but then after i read some comments doing a breakdown of my post and pointing out how bad was the shit i said i started to think that maybe i was in the wrong. Then i started receiving messages from many actual incels saying that they agree with me, after those messages i saw that yeah, i'm an asshole I went and apologized to my girlfriend. Told her i was being an ignorant, spitful, malicious dumbass (Quoted some of you guys lol) and that i want her to know that what i said was bullshit and that even if she never forgave she should know that i was just being a jerk for the heck of it and she did nothing wrong. She told me she knew that i was speaking out of my ass and forgave for what i said, but decided to dump me anyway. If things go well we'll still be friends if not at the least we're parting ways amicably. She'll be fine, said she'll go and spend time with her father back at home for a while. I decided to stay single until i sorted out my own issues and that's it. Believe it or not but i read every single reply and saw how wrong i was about nannies and by default all care workers, i won't justify what i said because i think it would be a cheap attemp to erase that i was a grade-A cunt, but i will apologize anyway. Sorry for being an ignorant, dismissive, dehumanizing, classistic jerk who dismissed the emotional aspect of these type of jobs. No one has to forgive but i want to apologize anyway. Well, thank you all for input and insults i very much needed them.

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.

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??

AITAH for refusing to share my lottery winnings with my boyfriend after he joked about how he’d spend it?

I (25F) recently won $50,000 from a scratch-off lottery ticket. It’s the first time I’ve ever won anything big, and I was over the moon. My boyfriend (27M) and I have been dating for about two years, and while we don’t live together, we’ve talked about taking the next step soon. When I told him about my win, he was excited at first, but then he started joking about how he’d spend it. At first, it was lighthearted stuff like we’ll buy a fancy new gaming setup or finally upgrade my car. But as the night went on, his jokes got a little more serious. He said things like, “I guess I don’t have to save for that trip to Europe anymore—your treat!” and “Finally, you can help me pay off some of my credit card debt.” I laughed it off initially, but he kept going and started talking about bigger things, like putting a down payment on a house together, all with my winnings. It rubbed me the wrong way, especially since we haven’t even had serious conversations about combining finances. When I told him I planned to save most of it for myself—maybe invest or use it to pay off some of my student loans—he got upset and said I was being selfish. He said that couples share everything and that it was our win, not just mine, because he’s supported me through a lot. The thing is, I bought the ticket with my own money, scratched it myself, and never promised to share it. He’s now calling me greedy and distant, saying this shows I’m not serious about our relationship.

AITA for not laughing when my husband joked about my ‘hobby’ job in front of his boss?

Throw away because my main is linked to some of my work My husband was invited to this work dinner at his boss's house and his whole office was invited. My husband has a higher paying job than mine and it doesn't really bother me because I love what I do but he does lack interest in my work because of it. The first iffy thing was when we were getting ready, he gave me a "check" or something like that where he gave me the run down of dinner etiquette. I know dinner etiquette, my parents used to host this kind of dinners all the time, so yeah, I know how to act and how to behave. All his co-workers were going to the dinner and they brought their wives with them so it was pretty packed. Dinner was nice until we were in the dessert portions my husband's coworkers started talking about their wives and their hobbies. My husband brought up my "hobbie", I'm a journalist, and I write stuff once in a while. He talked about some of the stuff I've written, describing it as "silly". I didn't say anything and smiled awkwardly but he just kept going, saying he doesn't read my stuff because he "doesn't want to be all up in my head". When we got home I talked to him about the jokes and said I didn't find them funny, but rather somewhat offensive and disrespectful towards my work. He told me to learn how to take a joke, I tried to ignore it so I just kept doing my thing, but then he started getting handsy and I rejected his advances because I was still sour about dinner and he got upset, so we went on and on about the dinner thing. I wasn't even adressing him making fun of me, I was generally upset over the hobby thing, because it's not a hobby, it's my line of work which I love and am very passionate about. He admitted to maybe being in the wrong for the jokes but that they were "based on fact". I grew up significantly welthier than him, I do not leech off of my parents, nor do they send me money out of free will. My parents have never said or done anything to make him feel inferior and they get along very well. We met when I was of going through some sort of hippie phase. I wasn't talking to my parents and I did not get along well with them at the time. I was some manic pixie dream girl at the time and I think he got wayyy to attached to that version of me (I was 25, I'm 32.) . He called me dull and compared me to my mom which isn't bad in it of its self but he said it as an insult and said I was becoming a suburban mom (we have a son, he's two). I feel like he doesn't really appreciate me as a person or care about me as much as a husband should for his wife. I get what he's saying, but I'm getting older, I'm a mom and I'm advancing in my career and have a lot on my plate apart from that. I do love my husband, I married and started a family with him for a reason but maybe I took the joke too seriously? I'm not sure if I blew it too out of proportion because I asked friends and they said that maybe I took too seriously etc etc AITA?

AITA for eating salad in front of my girlfriend and then making a joke about it?

I grew up in a family that put a lot of emphasis on healthy eating. As a kid, we always started dinner with a salad, and I have continued that practice as an adult. I do not take my salad with any dressing, and the only toppings I add are mushrooms and tomatoes. Since I do not put dressing on my salad, I often eat it with my hands since it is easier than trying to spear the dry mixed greens with a fork. I have been eating my salads like this basically since I was a teenager, and it was never an issue, even when having dinner with my parents. My girlfriend eats salads occasionally, but does not love them the way I do. She is currently pregnant, and pretty much all she wants to eat right now is meat and potato type meals. She has had some severe morning sickness in the first trimester and it has been a struggle to find foods that she can consistently keep down. So we will make something she wants for dinner, and then I will pair it with a side salad for myself so I am still getting my greens. Lately, I have noticed she has been a little distant during dinner, so I asked her about it. She said that my side salads are unappetizing to her, and she requested I stop eating them in front of her because it makes her nauseous to watch. I told her that everything makes her nauseous right now, and that it is not fair to me that I have to change my lifelong diet because of her pregnancy symptoms. She told me that the issue is not with the salad, it is the way I eat it with my hands. Apparently that makes her gag and then she does not want to finish her own food. I told her that I have been eating my side salads like that for over a decade and no one has ever commented on it, so I think she is being dramatic. I told her that her comment was rude and unnecessary. She immediately got up and went into the nursery and shut the door. When I walked by later, I could hear her crying, but I did not go in to say anything because I felt like she should be the one to apologize to me. She ended up sleeping on the glider in the nursery while I slept in our bed alone. We sat down for breakfast the next morning in silence, so I attempted to diffuse the tension by asking if the way I was eating my toast was acceptable or if it was also making her nauseous. She immediately started crying again, calling me insensitive and accusing me of not caring about her feelings or how hard the pregnancy has been on her. All I was trying to do was make a joke. I know pregnancy is hard, but I do not understand why she is making such a big deal about it.

AITAH for refusing to financially help my brother after he used my infertility as a joke at his wedding

I’m 35 and my husband is 37. We’ve been trying to have a baby for four years, I’ve had two miscarriages and one failed round of IVF. It’s been emotionally and financially exhausting. Most of our family knows what we’ve been through, including my younger brother, who just got married two months ago. At the reception, he gave a toast. It started off sweet, and then he made a comment along the lines of, at least one of us can keep the family line going, and people laughed. I froze. My husband immediately looked at me and I had to leave the table to breathe. I didn’t cry until I got home, but it hit like a punch. I never confronted him, I didn’t want to ruin his night, and part of me hoped he’d apologize on his own. He didn’t, he acted like nothing happened. I distanced myself after that, no texts, no calls, just space. Now, two months later, he reached out asking if I could help him with a loan. He and his wife are having money trouble and he knows I have a decent job and savings. I told him no. He asked why, and I told him straight up that I’m not going out of my way to help someone who humiliated me in front of our entire family for a cheap laugh. He said I was being petty, he said it was just a joke and that I’m being cruel over one comment. My parents are now involved, saying family helps family and that I shouldn’t hold a grudge over something that happened at a wedding. I told them he can ask the other 100 people who laughed that night to chip in.. Now I’m the cold, ungrateful one. My mom said I’m punishing him to feel powerful, but I don’t feel powerful. I feel like this is the only time I’ve ever stood up for myself.

My boyfriend is giving me the silent treatment because I made a joke about his size

Last night my boyfriend and I were getting dinner ready and were laughing and having a good time, he was getting our plates ready and asked me how big of a piece of scallop potatoes and I said “not too big but not too small” and then I said “just like you” in a joking like tone. It wasn’t meant in a insulting way at all but my boyfriends mood totally shifted and as we sat down to eat I asked him what was wrong and he said that my comment was rude and he was pissed off about it. I apologized and told him I didn’t mean it as an insult if anything I was trying to say that he’s just right but also ssid I could see now why he may of taken it as a insult and that I really was sorry and it was never my intention to hurt his feelings and then went to give him a hug and he pulled away from me. The rest of the night he sat on the couch basically glaring at me and then went to bed without even saying goodnight. I made him a “I’m sorry” card and put for him where hed see it when he got up for work, and he did cause it’s been moved but won’t even answer my texts now this morning. Am I the asshole for thinking that it isn’t even that bad of a comment?

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.

Playful Husband Upset That His Wife's Friend Gossiped About The "Prepare For Divorce" Reminder On His Phone Without Knowing It Was An Inside Joke

When my wife (28F) and I (32M) were still dating, we had this thing where we said, before every anniversary, we would "divorce" each other so we could "get married again" and go on another honeymoon. We've actually been doing this for the past 3 years; I have a reminder on my calendar named "prepare for divorce" 6 months before, which is around when I start booking flights, thinking about taking time off, etc.. Kind of silly, but yeah. A while back, we were out with a few of her friends. At some point in the night, I excused myself, but left my phone on the table. I noticed after I got back that one of her friends (K), who's normally pretty okay with me since we play games together, was strangely cold to me, but I thought they might have just been tired. Long story short, the reminder *just* happened to pop while I was away and K saw it. They then started telling all of my wife's friends and met up with my wife to "tell her the bad news". She was equal parts confused and embarrassed, but eventually cleared the misunderstanding up. I was/am quite unhappy with K for violating my privacy and not trying to clarify the situation before blowing it up. My wife understands where I'm coming from, but says K was just trying to protect her. K thinks that I'm an idiot for having something like that on my phone, and is refusing to apologise. My wife's friends are kind of split.

AITA for potentially getting a teacher fired over a joke?

My brother (23) and I (22f) have raised our younger siblings together for the past few years (both our parents have died). The kids’ teachers know our situation and are generally pretty good about it. Though we still get some comments at parents’ evenings and correspondence from school is often sent to “Mr and Mrs (our surname)”. We are used to it and it’s usually no big deal, sometimes pretty funny. What I did NOT find funny was my 14yr old coming home from school saying he had a substitute teacher (the teacher works at the same school full time but doesn’t normally take any of our brother’s classes) and as they took the register and saw his surname, the teacher said, “Another Flowers in the Attic kid! How many more of you are there?!” Some of the kids laughed, most apparently didn’t really get it, and our brother was embarrassed but also didn’t get the reference. A bunch of the kids googled it in their next break and ...𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻.. ⬇️

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.

AITAH for not inviting my sister to my wedding bc she always "jokes" about sleeping with my fiancé?

Ok so I’m getting married in October. small, chill, nothing crazy. should be a happy time right?? except my older sister (31F) has this thing where she constantly flirts with my fiancé (29M). like aggressively. and it’s always under the guise of “omg I’m just joking don’t be so sensitive” first time she met him, deadass said “wow you upgraded, I’d let him ruin my life too” IN FRONT OF ME. I laughed it off bc I didn’t want to seem insecure but like. wtf?? then she started with the “if you ever get bored of her, you know who to call” comments. again, in front of me. I told her it was weird and she rolled her eyes and said I’m too uptight she's made so many lil jabs. "I saw him shirtless once, damn girl you got lucky" … “if you die first I call dibs” … “too bad you got to him first lol” like it NEVER ends. my fiancé thinks it’s awkward but tries to ignore it. he’s not flirtatious back. but he also doesn’t really shut it down either. just gets uncomfortable and laughs nervously. last weekend was the last straw. we were at my parents’ house and I left to grab something from my car. came back and heard her saying (I swear I’m not making this up) “I mean... if you’re having second thoughts, I’m always available. Just kidding. Unless?” like. the unless? was real. that’s not a joke anymore. that’s a goddamn come-on. I snapped. told her she’s disgusting and can’t come to the wedding. she flipped. cried. told my mom I was being dramatic. now the whole family’s saying I’m “ruining the family over a joke” and she’s “just always been flirty” and “doesn’t mean anything by it” I don’t even care if she meant it or not anymore. I just don’t want that energy around me when I’m trying to get MARRIED but now it’s this whole thing and I’m apparently the villain for “excluding” her and “making it a bigger deal than it is”

AITA for not accepting jokes about being an only-child after losing my sister?

I know it sounds stupid but I had a huge fight with my boyfriend (m26). He has 4 brothers and I‘m kind of an only-child because my sister died when she was 8 and I was 12. It was really sad for my whole family - especially my parents who separated after this. My boyfriend knows this. But he sometimes makes jokes about how I‘m an only-child and that I can not share (food) and stuff like that. I know that theses jokes are only typically jokes about this topic but it makes me sad. He did this again yesterday while we were meeting some of our friends. They also made some jokes and that was enough for me - I told them that this makes me sad and that I don’t like it and how I miss my sister and that I don’t feel like an only child because I still HAVE a sister - she’s „just“ not alive. Some of my friends were shocked and apologies but my boyfriend and two other friends argued that I’m just acting like an only-child (crying, being dramatic and not accepting jokes). I said that I would not accept this behaviour and that I don’t want to see them again if they act this way. Now I’m wondering if I was to harsh? It was a joke after all? Am I the asshole? Sorry for my bad English - I’m not from the USA and I’m feel very emotional while writing this.

AITA for walking away when my friends joked about fairy rings?

For people who don't know what fairy rings are: they're rings, usually made of mushrooms, in fields. There's folklore attached to them that says if a human steps into one, the fairies will take them away. I know this is not real, but I grew up with a very superstitious grandmother who would tell me this shit *all the time.* As a kid, if she saw me walking towards one, she would literally yell for me to stop and change direction. As an adult, again, I know they are not real, but that doesn't mean I'm about to start walking through fairy rings willy nilly. I live with my boyfriend and 2 friends (a couple), and we arranged to meet another couple for a hike. They tease me a lot for being "superstitious", as there have been a few other times that it's come up. We were hiking, and I saw a fairy ring directly ahead. Again, I know they aren't real, but I just tilted a little to the left, so I went around. No one noticed. Then a few minutes later, there was another, and again I went around. This then happened a third time. At that point, my friend asked why I kept swerving away from the group. I was like "huh. Didn't notice." but boyfriend realised and burst out laughing, telling them what I'm doing. They started laughing and joking and then began jumping in and out of the ring and stomping/kicking the mushrooms while teasing me about it. They were loud enough that a few people nearby were looking over, and they looked like total dickheads. I told them to stop but they didn't. I then started walking. We were on our way back, so I just kept going. They caught up with me a few minutes later and 3 out of the 5 people I was with said I was being a prat and overreacting, making them feel bad and ruining a nice day out. I said that acting like dickheads in public wasn't my idea of a good time and they said I was being bitchy. The other 2 said the joke's over, let's just head back, and things went back to normal-ish. However, once we were back, my boyfriend rounded on me and echoed his earlier sentiments (he was one of the people who gave me shit) saying that I embarrassed him and was acting bitchy over a joke, and I'm being overly superstitious and need to chill. I said he was being a pillock then, and he's being one now, and I'm sick of them teasing me and they should have known when I wasn't laughing along that I didn't find it funny. He said they aren't mind readers and I can't expect them to just know I don't find things funny, and I owe him, and the others, an apology, for getting upset over a joke about something I take too seriously, anyway. AITA?  Update: this morning my boyfriend and friends had a series of bad luck, I made a joke about it, and he lost his rag. We have now split up.
