AITA for leaving my 5 year old daughter at home and just taking my son to the cinema?

AITA for leaving my 5 year old daughter at home and just taking my son to the cinema?

Daughter is 5 and can be difficult a lot of the time. This could be keeping her sister awake at night, bursting in our room at night, waking up the entire house, making excuses to not do things and generally not listening. Today I planned to take her and my son to the cinema. It was time to eat breakfast and I told her that if she doesn't finish her food on time, she's not coming. Then comes all the typical acting like a baby stuff. Saying she wants the big bowl, saying she wants a big spoon, not eating, throwing her spoon on the floor and more. I've already told her that she needs to start behaving before she gets gifts etc. Repeatedly told her that we were going to leave her if she didn't finish. Long story short, I left her home with her mum (who was staying home anyway). She was hysterical, desperately trying to get ready by putting her shoes on but not eating her food. Wife was saying I was taking it too far but I wasn't going to give in. Part of me justifies it as my son had a similar attitude (albeit he was a bit younger). That significantly improved once he realised there was consequences for bad behaviour and I strongly believe that is what has shaped him into a largely respectful boy.

I found out my girlfriend has been filming us in bed. She says it's just for her, but I can't shake the feeling something is off.

I've been with my girlfriend for about a year and a half. Things have been good—really good, actually. We're comfortable together, we trust each other (or so I thought), and I never had any reason to question her. Until yesterday. We were having sex. It was intense, passionate, the kind of moment where you're completely lost in each other. At some point, I opened my eyes and saw her phone propped up on the nightstand. The camera was pointed right at us. The red light was on. My stomach dropped. I didn't say anything in the moment. I didn't know what to say. I just kept going, pretending I hadn't noticed, but inside I was spiraling. Afterward, while she was in the bathroom, I picked up her phone. It was locked, of course. But I could see the last few thumbnails in her camera roll—there were multiple videos. Different angles. Different days. When I finally asked her about it, she shrugged it off like it was nothing. Said she keeps them for later, for when I'm not around. Said it's just for her. But the way she said it—so casual, like secretly recording your partner during sex is totally normal—made my skin crawl.

Annoyed Man Strikes Some Silly Sexy Poses Because His Nosy Neighbor Won't Stop Filming Him, Ends Up Being Called A Creep

My dad passed away recently and he left me (26M) and my sister (31f) his house. It’s super unkempt so I’ve been doing lots of yard work outside in the mornings. I’m out there watering the grass in the mornings and evenings. Every single time I’ve done this the neighbor right next door who’s like this older granny comes out to her porch and straight up watches me without even hiding it. I introduced myself to her once that me and my sister are the new owners after my dad passed but it was obvious she didn’t wanna talk. Next thing she started coming outside with her phone pointing the camera right at me. I’m like “ is there a problem?” She says there’s no problem as long as I’m doing what I’m supposed to. I asked her why is she recording me then. Neighbor lady goes what’s the problem with me recording if you’re not doing anything wrong. It’s so fucking weird I didn’t even know how to respond to the situation. Soon as I finished up to go back inside she went back to her house too. This happens every. single. day I’m outside watering the grass. Always the same excuse that she wants to make sure I’m not doing anything else or if I do it’s on camera. So yesterday I got fed up and decided to do something different. When she came out with her phone I stuck my ass out and put my hand on my hip looking right at her. At first she was like wtf but then she got really mad when I started wetting myself with the water hose an touching my neck while literally looking directly at her. Was it stupid? Yes but she put her phone away and started cussing me out for being a pervert. My sister told me later on that she came to the house when I was at work talking about me sexually harassing her making poses in provocative ways. My sister knows she’s a pain in the ass since she probably has nothing better to do with her time. But I still shouldn’t have stooped to her level making her uncomfortable right back. I feel like I’m right on this one and it wasn’t even that bad (not like i was grabbing my balls or anything) but also can be a dumbass sometimes so idk you guys tell me. Was I an asshole?

My Friends Want To Ban Our Traumatized Bestie From Movie Night So We Can Watch Violent Films

Tdlr at the bottom Every couple of weeks me (f24) and my friends get together for a “classic movie night” at my house. We drink, joke around, and watch old movies deemed to be “important to film”. Good times. The problem: one friend (23f) has been through an awful trauma recently which has affected her profoundly. Our group has really huddled around her to make sure she is okay and lend our support any way we can... but... in the last few times we got together she got triggered by the graphic scenes in the films we were watching and politely asks that we stop. (The first time was Rosemary’s Baby and the second was Taxi Driver, if that matters.) Of course we all wanted to be sensitive so both times we immedietly turned it off and the group quickly dispersed after (kind of a bummer). Independantly, friends from the group have asked that I not invite her the next time, because we want to watch Clockwork Orange which will definetly be triggering to her. Since I’m hosting, it is up to me, but since I usually invite everyone via a group chat that she is in, it would require some maneuvering to exclude her. God I feel like such a dick but my friends and I really want to be free to watch what we want without worrying about making her uncomfortable. WIBTA if I went out of my way to NOT invite her? Tldr: My friends and I want to watch movies that our traumatized friend may find triggering - WIBTA to just not invite her anymore? EDIT: Wow. So it took just 45min for me to realize Im an asshole! Some smart commenter posted an obvious solution: i will be using https://www.unconsentingmedia.org/ from now on to vet our films before movie night. To those saying we shouldnt care more about a movie then supporting our friend in need, youre right! I think this may be the first time I’ve seen a productive AITA post... Thanks for your help guys Edit #2: Wow again. To everyone PMing me telling me I’m a pussy and a libtard for accepting my judgement and adjusting my position, you can go fuck youselves :)

AITAH for distancing from my wife after she called an actor handsome during our romantic movie night?

So I (35M) am currently married to my wife Sharon (29F) We've been married for 4 years, together for 7. We had our monthly movie night last night which is where we have a fun relaxation night and order doordash and eat while watching movies. We were watching a movie and we were talking about the costume and makeup work and my wife decided to make a really insensitive comment, she said "Oh yeah he's quite a handsome actor". I became livid and gave her a look. I got the remote and turned off the tv and told her movie night was done and I'm sleeping on the couch. She was confused and kept saying she obviously wanted me and nobody else. Quite frankly I didnt care because at that point it seemed kind of like cheating. She kept trying to convince me to come to bed with her but eventually quit. I haven't really spoken to her today and avoid doing so as she thought it was comfortable to admit she basically didn't like me as a husband. I honestly am contemplating a divorce because her making that comment was genuinely ridiculous and stupid and she seems to not understand how hurtful it was. AITAH for telling her off about her comment? . Update: alright so my wife still wont apologize and believes im at fault, she really is gaslighting me. She said she may go stay at her mother's house. Update 2: my wife and i had an argument about it again and she kept saying i was overreacting i had snapped and i threw a fork at her while i was eating food. I wont lie i think i may have went a tadbit overboard but she is still refusing to admit shes wrong and i told her she may have to stay with her mother for a bit and so her mother is coming to pick her up later. Update 3: My wife is now with her mother. I think her mother in law told the rest of her family as well as my family because people keep blowing up my phone and trying to hear the story of what happened. Everyone saying im insecure, how would you feel if your spouse was talking about how hot someone else was leaving you in your tracks huh?. Update 4: If I apologize to my wife will that make everyone calm down, i love my wife and i would never hurt her. Update 5: Our youngest (3M) is trying to get in the middle of it. He asked me where mommy is and I told him she's not going to be around for a while anf he started crying. I comforted my son but that wicked witch is not coming near my son again with her ways and tricks. . Update 6: Do you guys know who Lorena Bobbitt is . Update 7: I may allow my wife under the house under a few circumstances. She must apologize and wear a shock bracelet and whenever she acts up ill shock it to teach her a lesson. . Update 8: MWAHAHAHAHA thanks for the karma you fools. Check the subreddit and flair 😏. I have once again trolled the fellow users of reddit with my clever and realistic shitpost. 😈 Looks like I even broke the record here for most commented post and most shared with my other shitpost receiving 1.6k shares.

AITA for not bringing up that my roommate may have walked in on me filming NSFW content?

I (21F) make a little solo NSFW content on the side. Nothing extreme, and I’m careful to do it when my roommate (22F) is out usually when she’s at work or with friends. We’ve always had a good relationship, and I’ve never done anything like this in shared spaces or when she’s around. The other night, I thought she was out and started filming something in my room. My door was mostly closed, and I had some music playing, but at one point I think I heard the front door open. I froze, turned the camera off, and waited. I checked a minute later and saw her stuff by the door, so I’m pretty sure she came in and may have passed my room while I was filming. She hasn’t said anything about it and I’m not 100% sure she did hear or see anything but since then she’s been acting super polite and kind of overly friendly. It’s subtle, but it’s not how she normally is, and it’s throwing me off. I’m wondering if she maybe realized what I was doing and is just being awkward about it. Now I’m stuck wondering if I should bring it up to clear the air, in case she’s uncomfortable but doesn’t know how to say anything. Or should I just let it go and act like nothing happened, since maybe she didn’t notice anything and I’d just make things weird by saying something? I’m not trying to make the living situation uncomfortable, but I also don’t want to ignore something if she is feeling weird about it.

AITA for thinking my younger brother is secretly filming me and invading my privacy?

I (20F) feel like I’m losing my mind over this and I don’t know if I’m being paranoid or if my brother (16M) is actually crossing the line. A few weeks ago, I thought I was home alone. I was in my room, door closed, and being intimate with myself not exactly quiet about it. Suddenly, my door opened slightly and I saw a phone camera slowly peek in. I shouted “what the hell are you doing?” and my brother panicked and said he was just “checking if I was in.” I checked his camera roll later but didn’t find anything, so I convinced myself I must have been wrong or overreacting. But then the other night I was watching a movie in bed, just wearing a crop top and underwear. My brother asked to watch too, and I said fine, but told him he couldn’t get under the covers. I fell asleep expecting he’d leave. Instead, I woke up the next morning with the covers pulled off me (which doesn’t happen when I sleep alone) and he was standing at the foot of my bed with his phone pointed at me. I stirred and he ran out of the room. This makes him look really guilty. But here’s the problem: we’ve always been extremely close, and I’m terrified of accusing him of something awful if I’m wrong. At the same time, I feel unsafe and like my privacy is being completely disrespected. Would I be the asshole if I confronted him or told our parents or even just informed the police?

Heartless Man Abandons Post-Op Girlfriend in Favor of Six-Hour Movie Marathon with Friends, Despite Promising to Look After Her

I (22f) recently had surgery. I knew beforehand that it would be hard for me to move around after, so my mom offered to come stay with me for a few days to help out. I discussed this with my boyfriend (26M), he recently moved in with me so it would affect him too. He told me that since he had time off work he could take care of me instead, and that he didn't feel comfortable with my mom here. So that's what we went with. So three days after I got home from surgery I woke up from a nap, alone. I really had to pee, but moved so slowly that I didn't make it to the bathroom in time. After slowly and painfully cleaning that up, I dragged myself back to bed and took more painkillers. I was starving by the time he came back, but couldn't bring myself to go all the way to the kitchen. It turns out that he went to see a movie with friends, and then they all went out to lunch. He was gone for 6+ hours and didn't think to let me know, or ask someone to stay with me. He thought it was fine since I was sleeping when he left. I was annoyed, I rejected my mom's offer to stay here and help because *he* didn't want that, he knows i need help getting around for a while. I told him that if he can't have it both ways, either my mom is coming to help or he has to stay home and help (or they share it / she only comes over when he's not home). He was pissed at the ultimatum. UPDATE: I called my mom, she's here now. My (soon to be ex) boyfriend left in a huff when she arrived, didn't tell me where.

AITA for telling my girlfriend to just let me watch a movie?

You know that thing where you come home a d tell each other about your day? My girlfriend has this habit of only doing it when I'm trying to pay attention to something else. I come home, she doesn't talk about anything. We do the chores that need doing, I try to start conversation while doing them and she barely responds. We make dinner together in complete silence, if I try to initiate conversation she just gives me one word answers or huh huhs. Again she says nothing about her day. We sit down and have dinner and eat I'm complete silence. Again, she barely responds when I try to start a conversation. Then after dinner we sit down to relax a bit, I wait to see if she wants to talk about anything but she's just scrolling through her phone. So then I start watching a movie or a show and THEN, as soon as it starts, suddenly she starts telling me all about her day. I'm the kind of person who doesn't put on a movie just for background noise, if I'm watching a movie then I am watching it, that's it. I'm trying to pay attention to the movie and she's rambling on about what happened at work, what she needs from the supermarket, what her dad said on the phone, what she needs to do tomorrow, what happened with her sister and on and on and on. And then she gets mad when I only give her one word replies like she gives me. I've asked her before why she doesn't talk during dinner but she just got angry and never explained. So yesterday we start watching a movie, and like usual she starts talking and not paying any attention, and then she starts complaining that the movie doesn't make any sense and she's not understanding the story. I told her it would make sense if she was paying attention and she got mad and said that I only care about movies and don't care about what she has to say. I tried again to tell her that I always try to start conversations with her but she never engages, and only starts talking after I've already started doing something else. She said I never talk about anything interesting, so I told her her work stories aren't interesting either. Now she's mad and giving me the silent treatment. TLDR : AITA for telling my girlfriend to let me watch a movie instead of talking through it?

AITA for not giving my seat at the cinema to a child?

AITA for not giving my seat at the cinema to a child?

I (25F) am a big fan of the UK girl group Little Mix. They have a lot of younger fans, but I've been a fan of theirs since 2011, when I was 14, and they've been basically my main obsession in my teens. Tonight is their final concert before they're going on a hiatus, so their concert is being live streamed in cinemas. I was also a nanny for a little girl for 6 years. The girl is now 10. Let's call her April. My obsession with Little Mix has sort of rubbed off on her while I was her nanny. When Little Mix announced a few weeks ago they were going to show the concert in cinemas, I called her mum and offered to take the girl to the cinema. She loved the idea and I bought tickets literally as soon as they were available. Earlier today, April's mum asked me again about the details (time, which cinema, our seats) and after I gave her all the information, she asked me if there's another seat available next to us. I checked but unfortunately, there were only 2 individual seats at the very front, so she said it's fine. However, a couple hours later, she texted me to say that a friend of hers is going to check at the cinema to buy a ticket for her daughter, who's also roughly 10, so she can sit by herself but still come with us. I wasn't particularly keen on the idea because I wanted to just take April, sort of as a thing to do for fun together, not me babysitting her. Obviously she needs supervision, but I know what she's like, I know I don't need to worry about her running off etc. I don't know anything about the other 10 year old. However, I didn't say anything. Then I got a call that the cinema told them that they are not happy to let a 10 year old sit by herself and they offered to have the 2 girls sit in the seats I had booked, and for me to sit at the front. I tried to be polite about it, but I told them that I don't want to do that. I booked the tickets over 3 weeks ago, I got us good seats, and also I pay more because I pay the adult price and the kids obviously are cheaper. April's mum thought this was reasonable and didn't press me any further, but the other mother called me childish because Little Mix is for kids anyway, so I don't need to be watching their concert and that it would mean more to her daughter. The daughter was upset and I suggested she watches it at home (you can still buy livestreaming tickets to watch at home), but it didn't matter to them. I feel bad that the girl is upset and get it's more about the experience than simply watching it. That's why I paid for cinema tickets after all. But I've been looking forward to this and would have frankly gone alone, but thought it'd be nice for April as well. AITA for not giving up my seat so April and the other girl can sit together? EDIT: Thank you all for your upvotes and comments, I've never had a post with this much interaction before on this subreddit! I took April to see the concert, just the two of us, and I'd like to say we both really enjoyed it. I know I did, and April at least said she did too! April's mum picked us up from the cinema, and the whole family was at the other mum's house, so I came along as well for a little bit. The other mum surprisingly apologised to me. They'd had a BBQ instead and the other girl wasn't upset anymore. She offered to drive me home, which I declined, but I accepted her offer to drop me at the nearest bus stop. Little Mix put on an amazing show with lots of tears on their end as well as mine 😂

AITAH- Got a family kicked from R rated film because the kid was disturbing

I (30 guy) and my sister (31 lady) went to see Joker: Folie à Deux. She was really looking forwards to it, and I enjoyed the first film, so I tagged along so she wouldn't be alone. We get seated, my service dog settles in, and everything's hunky dory. As the lights go down, a family with two minors, the youngest probably 8-11 years old, sit directly in front of us in a mostly empty viewing. That's fine, I guess, but why are you bringing your young kids to an R rated film? Not my biz tbh. The movie starts playing, and there's a lot of things my sister and I relate with, and the film is honestly really great. I notice a light, and see the youngest girl recording the screen on her phone. Ok, it is a pretty musical number, I get that. Next, she's laughing during the police brutality scene, and then the first sex scene. My sister asks me to go with her to the bathroom. She says she's really uncomfortable. While she's in the bathroom, I tell staff about the screen recording, and they go and remove the family from the viewing. My sister returns from the restroom, and she urges me to go home, and I agree. Knowing now that we were leaving too, I feel kinda like a jackass, but idk, that kid shouldn't of been behaving like that or really in there, in the first place.

AITA for excluding my daughter from a movie night?

I 40m and my wife 39f have 3 great kids, 13m, 12f, and 9f. Our youngest daughter doesn't handle horror very well, she can only handle Scooby do and even that is sometimes too scary for her. But she of course wants to see scary stuff and throws temper tantrums when we say no. Last night my wife and our two older kids wanted to watch Alien and we figured we'd watch it after our youngest daughter was in bed (since it's summer we've bumped her bedtime up to 9:30). After my wife and I put our daughter to bed we went downstairs to start the movie. After the movie had started our youngest daughter came down and asked what movie we were watching. We asked her why she wasn't in bed and she said she heard her sister mention that we were gonna watch a movie and asked if she could watch to. We told her no because it was too scary for her but she kept insisting that she could handle it. I eventually firmly told her no but she kept insisting that she could handle it. So I picked her up and carried her back to her bed, she screamed and protested the whole time saying " no daddy I wanna watch the movie "! When I tucked her back in bed she kept protesting saying it wasn't fair to have family movie time without her, that's when I said to her "this is not family movie time this is a time for people who are big enough for scary movies and you're too little for scary movies ". She said " no daddy I'm big enough for scary movies " and tried to get out of bed, thats when I raised my voice and firmly told her " no your too little for scary movies and it is past your bedtime now if you get out of bed again your in trouble "! I then tucked her back into bed and kissed her goodnight. Then we all watched the movie as planned, we could hear our daughter screaming and having a tantrum from upstairs for a while but we ignored it and it did stop. I thought i handed it fine until today when my wife came to me very upset with me for how I handled it. She said it would've been better to just let her watch a movie that was appropriate for her with us and then put her to bed and watch Alien because then she wouldn't have felt excluded. I disagreed because our daughter knew it was past her bedtime. But my wife still thinks I didn't handle it right. AITA?

AITA for telling a couple to fuck off in the cinema after she interrupted my viewing to tell me stop laughing because it was annoying her?

I’ve just got back from a highly anticipated trip to the cinema with friends. The film? Superman, big silly superhero fun. There was couple sat to my right, with a seat space in between me and the girl of the couple. We were around the halfway mark when she leant and over and said “excuse me, can you stop laughing please? Because it’s really annoying me.” I was initially a bit taken aback and asked her if she was being serious, she said very firmly “yes” Trying to contain my immediate anger I explained that we were in a public cinema and that I would laugh if I wanted to. Her partner then leant over waving his finger in my face about to lay in and I shut him down by saying “shut the fuck up you fucking prick”, I admit not my most adult of responses but I was so angry by what was happening. He responded by telling me to get out of the cinema, I said no and repeated my previous comment (blood was boiling). He then stood up and told me I was being abusive and left to go and tell someone. While waiting for him to return his partner sat in her seat sobbing. (This whole situation was caused by her) He eventually came back asked her if she wanted to leave because he’d sorted some free tickets to which she said yes. As they left he turned around and told me the police had been called. I sat there for the next half an hour trying to get back to enjoying the film but the adrenaline was surging (I’m not usually one for conflict) so my concentration was shaken. Going to watch a film at the cinema has been something I’ve enjoyed for most of my life and due to having small children the opportunities to do it are not as frequent as they used to be. If I’d spoiled someone’s movie viewing experience due to obnoxious behaviour I would have been mortified, but I was just enjoying my own experience which was somewhat ruined by this person. I put it to you good people of reddit, AITA?

A Man Questions His Friendship After Being Mocked and Filmed During a Dance Class

My (24m) friend (31m) is a very gifted dancer especially with bhangra and bollywood dancing. He invited me to join a beginners class with him and while this was definitely not my usual thing (two left feet!) I wanted to spend time with my friend and meet new people. It’s fair to say that I did not have beginners luck with the class, and I looked very clumsy. My friend then went to the time out/rest area and began filming my disaster attempt at dancing to make fun of me. I understood it was just a joke but when I asked him to delete it he wouldn’t and just made fun of me more. I felt very self conscious and decided to leave the session and wait for him outside. Him not deleting the video after seeing me upset made things 10 times worse Apparently I didn’t do this in a very discrete matter and people asked him why I had left, and he said he found this embarrassing. After we got into an argument where he said that if I didn’t appreciate a funny video being taken of me then I must not have any friends and he made further comments about how I embarrass him. I think the argument had also been brewing on my end as my friend is very critical of my appearance, being working class, how I dress etc. I think both of us could be the asshole, but I’m starting to doubt if my feelings are valid.

AITAH for ruining an autistic child and their family’s movie experience?

I work at a movie theatre and one of my employees told me that there was a complaint of a child being on a tablet with the brightness high in the front row. The employee noticed that there were seats open in the back, with nobody beside them, so they asked them to move. Typically, we would ask them to leave, but the mother said their child was autistic and needed the tablet. Once they were moved to the back row, we did not get any more complaints. However, the mother came up to me after the movie, looking as if she was expecting some sort of compensation. She was unhappy her family was moved to the back because her daughter can only see the movie in the front row. I explained that I understood her situation but no screens in the movie is just our policy. Our theatre offers sensory friendly showings, and she asked if this was her only option in the future. I said if her daughter needs to be on a tablet, yes.

I (27F) was called a “blue-haired liberal” by my boyfriend for refusing to continue watching a movie with themes of sexual violence

My boyfriend (28M) and I were watching the movie “28 Days Later” so we could catch up on the series before the newest movie in the franchise comes out next month. In this movie there’s a viral infection that wipes out most people on the planet, turning them into zombies. The story follows a few survivors and their quest to find permanent safety. About halfway through the movie 3 survivors (1 male — a young adult man, 2 female — one being a young adult woman and the other a teenager) make their way to a soldier-run fort that was advertised over a weak radio signal as a haven for any survivors. Once they arrive a few soldiers make weird comments about “restarting civilization”, and a few days later another soldier tries to force himself on the young adult woman — which is when the young adult man intervenes and the colonel explains to him that he promised his soldiers women to stop them from killing themselves due to “no premise of a future for society”, I.e. nobody to have babies. Immediately after, the man is locked up for trying to protect the two women and another solider says he will “take the black one I.e. the young adult woman and make her squeal”. Now at this point I’m uncomfortable and ask my boyfriend to turn the movie off. He refused at first, arguing that 1) rape themes are common in lots of movies 2) lots of people have watched this movie since it came out in 2003, in my opinion as an attempt to “normalize” it, and 3) the rape themes highlight the crazy things people do in crazy situations such as this. He believes that there’s nothing wrong with these themes in movies because things like this happen in real life. I personally don’t care if the themes are “normal” or not they make me uncomfortable and I don’t want to spend my free time watching it. I told him that it creeps me out that he’s content with it and trying to pressure me into being okay with it too. He took that personally and called me too sensitive, a “blue-haired liberal” and a bitch after he stormed off. AITAH?

Drunk BF Ruins Party When He Insults GF About Her Top 3 Movies And Questions Her Intelligence

We have been dating for a little over a year, but we were friends for three years before that. He was never like this before now and idk where it's coming from but it just makes me so upset. We had some friends and some new people we were trying to get to know over, and at one point, I guess as an icebreaker, someone brought up favorite movies and we all started giving top threes, while oohing and ahhing appropriately, as well as, "oh I haven't seen that one, what is it about?" and similar. Well, when it got to me, I listed them and my boyfriend who had been drinking to be fair, started laughing and talking about how bad each of them were respectively, and I tried to laugh along, but then he was like laughing at me, and saying "so you admit you have bad taste? You admit your taste sucks? Why do I ever let you pick movies again?" and like would not drop it. Like, someone had already tried to continue to their favorites and he just circled it back like: "See how those movies are actually worth watching? I mean what were you thinking?" Just laughing his head off again and again. It got ridiculous, like whenever I went to make popcorn, he side-eyed me and asked the group if they thought I could 'handle that' alone. Not the last time he brought it up, he continued to randomly make fun of me throughout the night, no matter what we were talking about in that moment, and eventually even the other people there started getting uncomfortable with the comments. Idk if he didn't notice that or what, but I was so embarrassed that at one point I had to excuse myself to the restroom to calm down. After they left I asked him what that was about and he just looked at me all confused, and when I explained he asked if I was really going to "make a big deal" about some "jokes", and rolled his eyes before going to bed. To give you context, because I know it seems like I'm freaking out over nothing, more than one of the people invited have reached out to me to ask if everything is okay, and if him and I are fighting, because his behavior was so uncharacteristically mean-spirited. I haven't responded to any of them yet because I'm so fucking embarrassed and upset. Like why the fuck would he act like that? Part of me feels like he was genuinely trying to joke, but alcohol made him overshoot into being a dick, but if we don't have a real conversation when he wakes up I'm done, I grew up in a house where I was always the butt of the joke and I'm not going to spend my adult life in that situation as well. I can't. I am putting this here because I don't want to talk to anyone about it irl until I get his side, fully, because if I talked to my friends about how I feel right now, I know they'll jump to "pack up what stuff you have at his place before he wakes up and go home," and like, I don't really need advice right now just to vent about my boyfriend acting like a total douche-bag. TL;DR: BF decided to try to embarrass me in front of friends as well as near strangers to the point friends are reaching out in concern. Hoping it was the alcohol talking, but if it wasn't I have bigger issues.

Wife using phone in movie theater

Went to see a movie with wife (28) and her family. Her mom and two sisters were with us. The entire time, she and her youngest sister were on their phones. At the end of the movie, two different parties commented to us about their behavior. I sat back and didn't say anything while a man from the first party and a mom with her son from the second begin telling off my wife and her sister. It wasn't until the end, when voices started getting high and aggressive, did i step in and put an end to the dispute. Got home, and wife gave me hell for not sticking up for her. I told her she was wrong, she shouldn't have behaved that way. It reflects bad on me and the family, and I agree with what they said to you. What really set her off was when I brought up the 60 second still frame before the movie starts that reminds people not to take their phones out, which she missed due to her being on the phone. Her main argument is "we are married. If i came home and said I have a body to bury, you should get the shovel without question." I laughed and walked away.
