I caught my boyfriend viewing lolicon. AITA?

My boyfriend, 19M moved into my 17F house about a month ago while awaiting his departure to boot camp. Everything was going good until yesterday. He was nice, caring and gentle and helped me when I was having issues with my family. I truly believe he was being genuine in his actions as well. But yesterday I opened his phone while he was out of the room and scrolled through Reddit. I checked his recently visited subreddits, because he's always been jumpy when I try to use his phone, especially to open Reddit. I found out he has visited several lolicon subreddits and various other pornographic subreddits. My biggest concern is the lolicon. He discussed suffering from porn addiction in the past, but I draw the line at children, even if they are supposedly not minors through some sort of loophole. I was also uncomfortable not only because of the contents of the porn, but because my younger sister 15F lives in our household as well. We have discussed in the past how his porn usage made me uncomfortable and he had promised to quit. I have trauma behind confronting men, so I elected to call him a few hours after and speak to him over the phone while I sat in my car. He seemed genuinely sorry and like he was truly suffering from an addiction, but admitted to seeking out and viewing the porn. I broke up with him and had my father drive him back to his home in a rural area, which he agreed was a good idea. My friend insists I did the right thing by electing to no longer speak to him and have him live in my home, but I can't help but feel that I messed up.

AITA for telling my wife I didn’t want to go out with her if she wears Lolita everywhere?

AITA for telling my wife I didn’t want to go out with her if she wears Lolita everywhere?

So my wife recently got back into Lolita, and hard. If you don’t know, it’s a Japanese fashion involving beautiful dresses with patterns and designs, big petticoats, frilly blouses and accessories. It stands out from the kind of stuff your average Americans wear A LOT. She has a soft, cute face and the fashion really suits her. I love seeing her in it when she has the chance to dress up, and I love how happy it makes her. It’s really expensive, but it’s a splurge that makes her happy. Last night, as we were getting ready for bed, she told me she’d like to be able to wear Lolita every day as her dream. With the field she’s going into, and her theorized salary from it, this is completely possible. I admittedly froze. She picked up on this and asked if I was uncomfortable with the idea- I said yes. I’m happy to accompany her to meets, where other people will be wearing the fashion, and I love helping her plan her outfits. But I’m too much of a chicken shit to handle going out with it every single day. 1. I work a medical job, and I represent my company. I don’t want to put myself in the position where if I saw a patient in public, I would be embarrassed to introduce her as my wife due to the fashion she’s wearing. 2. We’re queer women in Texas. We get looks and comments anyway, and I don’t want to add fuel to the fire. 3. I would feel underdressed and awkward when she looks so cute and I’m in jeans and a tshirt. I told her again I would go to the meets and conventions with her, and can support it where there’s bigger crowds. But I’m super uncomfortable with a lot of attention— if she wants to wear it out, that’s fine! I won’t stop her at all. I just can’t go with her. She was sad but understood, and things were awkward the rest of the night. It kept me awake thinking about it. So I’m wondering, Reddit, am I the asshole? Edit one: Edited one of the points for clarity. Edit 2: Gold?! Thank you guys, wow. We really did NOT expect this to blow up! Wife and I have talked— this is largely a pipe dream for her, and she doesn’t think it’s realistic with where our finances are. But we wanted to talk about it if it was something she’d be interested in. We’ve found a lot of compromises and talked things out- she’s over the moon I care so much about something to make her happy and find our happy medium. Thank you all for your thoughts and your kind words.

AITA for dropping the tea that your boyfriend used to crash at my place during your cute lil wine night lol?

So I moved into this new apartment right and this super sweet girl across the hall lets call her Claire starts chatting me up every time we bump into each other in the hallway. Anyway one day shes like hey come over for wine my boyfriends moving in we’re celebrating and im like say less. I show up ready to vibe and who opens the door but Josh, the same dude who used to come over to my place last year and eat all my chips and then ghosted me. He tries to play it cool acting like hes never seen me before in his life and Claire is pouring drinks. I say it right there, oops I think I dated him. She kicks me out and im like fair honestly i get it but then she texts me later saying josh said i was lying and he doesn’t even know me like girl come on i literally have screenshots and a blurry selfie of us eating nachos at 1am. I sent it to her and poof nothing no reply. Now she walks past me like im a haunted whisper and im like girl i didn’t cheat on you i just recognized your man from my couch.

AITAH for reporting my bf to the police after he blew MY savings on crypto/memecoins??

My boyfriend Jake and I have been together for two years, living together for one. I had saved a little over $20,000 for a house from my dental assistant job (Jake is currently unemployed). He was obsessed with cryptocurrency and get-rich-quick schemes, always claiming he would make it big someday. I trusted him. Three months ago, he took my bank login (from a time he helped pay bills) and invested $17,000 of my savings into a specific coin. The coin crashed, and that is when he informed me. I was furious, we argued intensely, and he cried, claiming he did it for our future, saying it was to buy me nice things, like a car or jewelry. I kicked him out that same day, and my mother advised me to report him, which I did. The police classified the act as theft. He has been in jail for a few weeks now because he cannot make bail. His mother is pleading with me to drop the charges, insisting he is not a bad person. Some friends agree with my decision, while others feel I went too far since he claimed his intentions were good. I feel terrible, but that was my money.
