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.

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??

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.

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.

Aita for wearing the “joke” bikini my friend got me?

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.

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??

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.. ⬇️

AITA for a joke I made during my best mans speech?

I (34M) was recently the Best Man at my friends (36M) second wedding, I was also the best man at his first. I saw this joke online and it made me laugh so I stole it and for my opening speech I said "right well....welcome back everyone." which got more than a few laughs, especially from the bride (31F) who seemed to find it hilarious. Everything went well, speech over and done with, though later on after a few drinks my friend began to rip me a new asshole telling me I was out of line with that kinda joke and how i'd embarrassed him and it wasn't funny and that I shouldn't have brought his last marriage into this, I mean a best mans speech will always be more jokey than anything and beyond that it was fairly tame and that was the only reference to his last marriage...was I really that out of line?

WIBTA for not inviting my sister to my wedding as she's "joked" about "ruining" it after I ruined hers?

3 years ago, my ex boyfriend proposed to me at my sister's wedding, in front of everyone, while giving what was meant to be a best man speech (he was friends with the groom). It was not approved by anyone, especially not me or my sister, and I said no in front of everyone, and he stormed out. This definitely distracted from events so I left shortly after, apologising profusely. It's been a few years since then. My sister has said she's over it but she really isn't because she brings it up every time we see each other, and she's made it clear that she still holds a grudge. We were really close before (I was her maid of honour) but after that she sort of pulled away from me. I'm now engaged, not to the proposal guy, to another fella. We're planning the wedding for early 2022. My sister has been "joking" about "payback" for years now, saying that when I get married she's going to do something to "ruin" the wedding. I don't know what, but I have my theories, the front runner being announcing a pregnancy or some other milestone during the reception. We've had a conversation recently (about a month ago) where she said something like that, and I've said "I know my ex was a douche but please remember that I didn't want him to do that and please don't pull a stunt at my wedding" and her response has usually been something like "wow, yeah, I bet someone announcing a major milestone at your wedding would really ruin your event, though you probably wouldn't understand that unless it happened to you", or words to that effect. I have apologised multiple times, but it's been 3 years and she still holds a grudge against me. I was talking with my mum earlier, she asked if I'd started planning yet, I said no, and mum says that I should get my sister to help and I just sort of said that I'm not even sure about inviting her. It just kind of slipped out, tbh. In the rest of the conversation I admitted (after mum pressed me) that I was unsure about inviting her because of these "jokes" she's made over the years, because if 3, nearly 4, years later she's still making these "jokes", then they're probably not jokes any more, and inviting her might not be a good idea. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those brides that expects everyone to just put their lives on hold for my wedding, but I feel like she's basically said that she is planning to fuck up my wedding. Mum, however, thinks I'm being unfair, that my sister is allowed to have feelings about her wedding day, and about mine, because my ex's actions did affect her day, and said that my sister is most likely only joking and I shouldn't take what she's said seriously, and definitely shouldn't leave her off the guest list for my wedding because of the jokes. She's also said that if my sister isn't invited, then she (as in mum) won't go either, in solidarity, and called me a bridezilla. WIBTA for not inviting my sister?

The night before the move, Leo had just finished a late shift (around 1–2am) and was packing. I had reminded Sophie multiple times to leave out the packing tape since Leo would need it and didn’t want to disturb anyone. She forgot. Leo knocked on Sophie’s door at about one in the morning to ask for the tape. No answer. He knocked again, a bit louder. Suddenly, Jake stormed out ...𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. 🍿

AITA here? My dad thinks my citizenship is a joke.

Please judge whether I am out of line. I was born in Canada. My dad is a US citizen that has always lived in the US. My mom border hopped got knocked up and hopped back home to Canada. So I should have US citizenship through my dad. But he never went and got the consular certificate of birth abroad. So I cannot renew my drivers license or get a US Passport because no one actually did the paperwork. I did not find this out til this year. I have lived full time in the US on and off my whole life until I turned 18 and I moved here permanently, got married had kids and all that jazz. Cue last year and the Real ID becomes a thing. I cannot get one because I do not have any documentation showing I actually have US citizenship. I call an attorney and they walk me thru how to file a passport as a short cut around all of this. Passport gets denied. Cue the asshole in me (maybe). My dad is getting upset with me because I am blaming him for all these problems that have arose. Had he filed my Canadian birth certificate at the consulate they would have issued the needed documents. But he didn't. So I am left in this mess that will likely cost me $5000 to complete. It would have cost him $25 back in the 1980s when he should have done this. He has offered no assistance monetarily or even emotionally about any of this. So I have been speaking to him less and less. He thinks I am throwing a fit and acting like a child over something that he believes is not his fault. So judge me please?!?! Because I am so distressed and he thinks I am misplacing that stress where it doesn't belong. Edited to add: I am grown and I will handle the money part on my own. It was the gesture that mattered to me. I was angry when I wrote this so not everything came out construed correctly. My main beef is I need him to actively participate in correcting this because legally it is required. Instead of doing that he is pushing back at every turn and making it very impossible. Thats mainly why I am so angry. I cannot get a DNA test without him. I cannot get his school records and IRS records to establish that he lived in the US for 5 years prior to my birth without him. He won't do the bare minimum that is needed. Hopefully that makes it a little more clear.

aitah for leaving because my husband joked about how he would k/ll me

Last night my husband scared me so much that I don't think I want to be around him anymore. We were walking back home from a friend's birthday party and my husband said, as he was walking next to me: "What would you do if someone tried to kill you right now?" I said wouldn't you try to save me and he said "What if I was the one who wants to kill you?" It made me feel uneasy and honestly scared but I tried to joke and change the topic and we started talking about something else. As we were walking he stopped for a moment and took a huge rock from the street. It made me scared because of what he said earlier and I moved towards a railing next to a river. He told me that he thinks a perfect way to get away with murder would be to stab them in the chest, to stab the lungs and throw them in a fast and deep river like this. I was so scared I wanted to start crying but then he started like laughing and came close to me and said how he's just joking and that he's trying to scare me because we are outside in the middle of the night blah blah. I laughed about it too but I don't think it was funny at all. He hugged me and we walked home but when he went to bed I left the house and went to my old apartment. It's the day after and he's been calling me and sending me messages saying he was only joking and things like that. I don't know if I'm overreacting but I just feel so different now after all that. I feel like he showed me his real face last night and I can't get over it. Am I overreacting?

Update on AITAH for considering leaving my fiancé over a drunken “joke”

I (F, 27) still have people messaging me and asking about updates so I thought I just write one. Short version: after 5.5 years he (M, 41) walked out on me and the baby (due March). Yesterday, after coming home from a 12-hour shift, I went to bed and completely passed out. Before my pregnancy, we had agreed that if I was too tired and he wanted intimacy, he could initiate without waking me. However, things have been rocky between us lately. He told me my pregnant belly is a turn off (I used to be fit), and I told him then no more intimacy! I assumed he understood it means while sleep too. Anyway, yesterday, as I was in a deep sleep, I woke up feeling weird. He was going at it while I was lying on my side. I screamed, “Get off me, you rapist!” We had a huge fight after that, and he accused me of overreacting. He left for work and told me I’d better apologize when he got back. I told him to go f*** himself. Later that evening, he sent me a text saying he couldn’t do this anymore and that it was over. He ended our relationship over text—after 5.5 years! I was at work when I got the message and started crying. I took the night off and went home to talk to him, thinking he was just angry and trying to scare me. But it’s really over. We talked, and he confirmed it. Thankfully, I don’t have to move out. He’s moving in with his mom, so I’ll stay in the apartment and cover the full rent. I apologized for calling him that during the fight, but he said it didn’t matter. He explained that it wasn’t just about the fight—he’s been miserable for a long time and wants out. He admitted he should’ve ended things sooner. He told me, “You dragged me into something I didn’t want. I hate how much you’ve changed, both physically and emotionally. Now you want to work part-time? I just don’t want these changes.” (I had told him earlier I wanted to work part-time until I gave birth because I was in pain, but he didn’t like it.) He added that when the baby is born, we’ll talk about some sort of arrangement so the baby can see his mom and, occasionally, him. But he admitted, “I’m not a dad type—let’s get real.” I’m just relieved he didn’t kick me out because it’s snowing, and I would have been homeless. Still, I feel devastated. I know my family, his family, and friends will blame me for not making the relationship work. I don’t even know what to do or where to go from here. Task-wise, nothing will really change—I was already doing all the housework anyway. After putting up with everything, he ended things with me right before Christmas—six months pregnant—knowing my family isn’t supportive. I feel lost. I thought being older than me means more mature (I’m 27, he is 41). I was wrong.. I was a fool
