AITA for suing my boyfriend and breaking up with him after finding out he secretly filmed us and posted it online?

I (29F) recently broke up with my boyfriend (32M) after finding out something truly horrible, and I feel totally wrecked by it all. I don’t know if I’m overreacting, but I ended things and now I'm suing him, and some people in my life are acting like *I'm* the one being unreasonable. For a bit of backstory, we’ve been together just over a year. Everything seemed great, or at least I thought it was. But over the last few months, I noticed he was being a bit...weird with his phone? Always turning it away or putting it face down. He also seemed to have a lot more cash than usual, which I thought was odd because he works a normal job, and we both sometimes struggled financially. When I asked, he just brushed it off and said he was doing some side hustle and not to worry about it. Then last week, my gut feeling just went into overdrive, and I decided to snoop a bit. I know, not great on my part, but something didn’t sit right. I went through his phone (while he was asleep) and found hidden folders full of videos. Videos of *us*, taken during private moments when I had NO idea a camera was even on. I started freaking out and digging deeper, and that’s when I realized he had been posting them on a subscription site for money. I saw comments from strangers, money transactions...everything. When I confronted him the next day, he didn’t even try to deny it. He told me he needed the money and thought I’d “never find out.” He even tried to make me feel like I should just let it go because “everyone is doing this now.” He told me it was “harmless,” that people “loved” us, and that I should be proud of the attention. Proud?! I felt so disgusted and violated, I couldn’t even look at him. I told him I was done and left that day. Here’s the kicker, though: I’m suing him now. I went to a lawyer, and we’re going after him for invasion of privacy and emotional distress. I feel totally justified, but now some mutual friends are saying I’m overreacting and that it’s just the “modern way” of making money, that I should’ve been flattered by the attention. One even said maybe I should just move on because “it's not like he hurt me physically.” It’s like they don’t get how serious this is and how much this betrayal has messed with my trust. I don’t know. Am I being too harsh here? I feel like I have every right to hold him accountable, but the backlash from friends is making me wonder if I’m being unreasonable. AITA for not just breaking up but also going after him legally?

WIBTA if I stopped inviting my triggered friend to movie night?

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 because I will not watch anything more complicated than a Hallmark movie with my wife.

AITA because I will not watch anything more complicated than a Hallmark movie with my wife.

I love my wife. She is intelligent, and sweet. Also she is beautiful inside and out. She teaches high school English and Social Studies. She loves novels and usually has several on the go. However she cannot follow the plot of a movie to save her life. Unless it is about a big city lawyer visiting her home town to shut down the local factory but instead reconnecting with her high school boyfriend who is also the local baker and mayor. I've known this about her for years and I have accepted it. I just like vegging with her so I am happy to see white people rediscovering the magic of Christmas. Or whatever. When we were dating we watched The Matrix. The questions she asked had me wondering about her. Ditto for anything complex. Even The Usual Suspects where they lay everything out for you she didn't get the ending. We had her sister and brother-in-law over for a couples night on Friday. We made supper and the plan was to watch a movie. Hee sister wanted to watch Shutter Island. I will not spoil it but the movie has many twists. The ending is awesome. I tried my best to suggest anything else. The new Laura Dern movie where she bangs the kid from Hunger Games. They all ganged up on me and said we were watching Shutter Island. My wife proceeded to embarrass herself by not understanding the ending and asking questions that were not great. Her sister and her husband were looking at my wife like she was Simple Jack. I tried my best to cover for her or telling her I would explain it later. She got mad at me for not just answering her questions. After they left she started in in me. She said that she noticed that we always watched a certain kind of movie and that she thought I enjoyed them. I said I did because we got to spend time together and that mad me happy. She said that she was not an idiot and that she just didn't concentrate on movies. She recited the plots of several novels to prove her point. I said that I had never commented on her intelligence and that ahe was smarter than me. She says that I'm a jerk for not watching movies I enjoy with her. So I agreed and we watched Memento today. I think her head almost exploded from bot asking questions. I saw her on Wikipedia reading the plot. AITA for intentionally not watching complicated movies with my wife?

AITA for having movie nights with my sons and not me ex’s daughter?

I am a 38 year old single mom to 2 wonderful boy, Reggie my 11 year old and Theo my 4 year old. Last year I found out that my now ex husband cheated on me, which had been going on for 6 years. They have a 4 year old daughter, which I will call Eva because I have no right to use her real name. Neither I or my sons have interacted with her until recently when I took my sons to the park. Theo and Reggie were on the swings when my ex husband approached them with his daughter holding his hand. Reggie ignored them and kept pushing Theo. My ex husband stopped the swing and said “Reggie, you and Theo had a turn let my little princess have a turn,” Of course Reggie left with Theo and they sat together on a bench. I assume they were talking about movie night which is every Friday. Theo picked the incredibles and they both agreed on it. My ex husband’s daughter overheard and told him. He approached me and asked me if I was willing to let his daughter stay with me and my sons for some sibling bonding. I looked at Reggie then back at him and told him no. He yelled at me saying that she’s their sister and she should bond with them. Reggie clearly didn’t want to bond with her and to Theo she is a stranger who he never heard about till now. I explained to my ex why they didn’t want to bond with her, I also told him that movie night was only a thing because he decided to leave my sons for his new family and it was a way for us to get closer. He said he still loved them and tried to Reggie who backed away. He called me an asshole. So am I the asshole for having movie nights without her?

AITA for taking my brother to see the Barbie movie?

I'm really confused about this whole situation. I (26m) have a younger brother (20m) who I'm really close with. He has really wanted to see the Barbie movie. He's been sad lately after breaking up with his boyfriend, so I offered to take to him to see the movie with me and I even offered to wear pink with him and dress up. He seemed really excited about and we went last night. He had a really good time and we took a picture. I was showing my girlfriend and she started saying how I embarrassed her by doing that and if people who know my brother see the picture they're going to think we're dating and some other stuff and she left the house. Now she's not talking to me. I'm really confused. I was just trying to do something nice for my brother but this is making me wonder if I did something wrong.

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.

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 😂

AITA for getting annoyed at a couple for bringing their mentally handicap son to the movie Halloween, in which he yelled and got up every five minute, the WHOLE movie?

This couple decided to bring their son, I assume was around the age of 10 to the movies. They sat five seats down from me. I noticed during the previews a howling noise, in which I turned and saw the couple and their son, who I assume was mentally handicap by his behavior. Every five minutes, he would get up and leave the theater. When he came back, he would blurt our something loud enough for everybody to hear. This went on the ENTIRE film. It’s not the child’s fault, but parents should show some consideration for everybody is.

AITA for expecting a guy who invites me to his house for a movie date at dinner time to offer drinks or food?

AITA for expecting a guy who invites me to his house for a movie date at dinner time to offer drinks or food?

I’ve known this guy for a couple years and we’ve worked together occasionally. We’ve had a couple dates before. We split the bill without any discussion or issue. He Snapchats me one day to come over to his place that night and watch a movie he has. I say sure. I forget the rest of the snapchats, but at some point I replied “pizza and a movie” and he replied “yeah see you soon!” It was just an innocent phrase but I didn’t eat that day and assumed we’d get food together. I show up and he has the movie. I say “so are we getting food?” He says “I already ate. But I’m sure you have apps on your phone if you want something.” Then he leaves to go to the bathroom. I sit there awkwardly. This guy previously talked about being a men’s rights guy. A normal one, not an incel dickhead. He also mentioned he’s low on cash. But isn’t it just good manners to offer guests in your house food or some shit? If he was too broke I’d obviously be happy to get him something, but that wasn’t the vibe I got since he bragged about a new game he bought. He returns and turns on the TV and turns off all the lights. Then he goes into the kitchen, which I assume is to get alcohol. I call out casually “what do you got to drink?” He calls back “Do you like tap water?” This is not some red pill bullshit. I know this guy, he’s serious. There’s nothing in his fridge but muscle milk, water, and kale. I call out, “Yeah, sure.” He brings me back a glass of tap water. He winks at me. I’m starving. I haven’t eaten since 8am. I say “Hey, I don’t wanna be weird, but I thought we were getting pizza.” He says in a sympathetic tone, “Oh. I see. You must have been confused. YOU mentioned the food, not me. I should have cleared that up, I ate earlier. Sorry if that wasn’t clear. We can still get a pizza if you want. Just pick anywhere nearby and order it.” This is still kind of shitty to me, but I ignore it and order one large pizza. I eat two slices of it. The rest of it sits there the entire movie. He doesn’t offer to contribute the $6 it would cost to split it. He tries to make out with me during the movie. I stop him and feel too weird to be into it. After the movie, I decide it would be better just to talk about it rather than feel bad. I tell him my feelings about how he’s weird with money and I’m uncomfortable. He feels bad and gives me $6 right away and thanks me for speaking up. There was no bad intention at all. No red pill, no plan, nothing. Just a dude who didn’t think my pizza was his responsibility. Then he asks me to have sex with him. I decline. Knowing we still have to work together, I manage to tiptoe out the door. I don’t expect or need people to buy me things, but I think offering houseguests food when you invite them over at dinner time is a sign of good manners. (And then they can offer to split the tab) AITA?

AITA for putting my hand over my SIL’s camera at my own birthday dinner after I told her no filming?

I (29F) had a small bd dinner last weekend with my husband (31M), SIL “Lina” (27F), MIL and two friends at a normal but nice place. Lina’s an 'influencer". She films literally everything - plates, forks, ppl breathing. Three days before, I wrote in the family chat - please don’t film me. Food, room is fine, just not my face. She said “got u”. We sit down and within like 10 mins her phone is up. I say quiet, “pls don’t point it at me.” She goes, “you look great, it’s just vibes.” Husband backs me, “she said no.” Lina rolls her eyes, lowers it… for maybe 2 minutes. Then the cake comes (little sparkler, staff singing). Lina stands and points the camera right in my face like, “birthday girl reveal!” I put my hand over the lens and said, “stop” I didn’t grab the phone or touch her, just covered the camera for a second. She snaps that I “ruined her shot” and this is her job. MIL says to “let it go for one night.” I said that it’s my night - actually. It got awkward fast. Server was right there, I felt embarassed. Husband tried to change the subject, but Lina kept muttering about how she had to scrap “everything.” I even paid for my own dessert (long story) and we left pretty quick. Next morning Lina texts that I “humiliated” her and made her look unprofessional in front of everyone. MIL says I should’ve moved seats if I didn’t want to be in frame. Husband says my boundary is fair but maybe I “made a scene” by doing it during the song when eyes were already on me. She’s posted me before without asking and co-workers mentioned it. I’ve asked her to blur/remove and it turns into drama, which is why I set the boundary in writing before dinner.

I caught my husband filming us during s*x

Last night we were having s*x and really getting into it. we changed positions (he was behind) and I noticed a light source, I was trying to ignore it going with the flow but I couldn't ignore it and turned my head. My husband was holding his phone fully recording the act. I realised what he was doing and said 'what are you doing!!!' he threw his phone down and continued. After that I just wasn't into it anymore. Anyway he finished and I can't stop thinking about it. I feel really upset and insecure about this. There was no consent around filming. It is ABSOLUTLEY not my thing. Why record? Is there something behind this? Is this normal? Am I overthinking?

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?

AITA for covering my mom's mouth during a movie?

Hi, this is my first post so please be kind lol Today I went to go see the new Final Destination with my mom at the movie theater. Every time a character was killed, she screamed bloody murder like she had just witnessed the character actually die in front of her. Now, she's always been like this. Every time we've seen a movie where something even slightly scary happens, she gasps super loud or screams at the top of her lungs. It's okay when we're watching movies at home because, like, it's in a private space, but when she does this at movie theaters it's so embarrassing! Especially if it's a silent scene and she's making these little gasping noises in fear of what's about to occur. Anyways, I really didn't want to see this movie (I respect the final destination franchise, but I'm not good with horror/thrillers), but she begged me to go. I said okay, we go, the movie starts blah blah blah and then a character dies and she immediately yells like she's never yelled before. I'm leaning away from her out of embarrassment and I swear the lady next to me is glaring at my mom. Well this happens again and again and again and it gets to a point, so during the next death (mri scene), I cover her mouth with my hand and let her scream into it. After she's done yelling and realizes that my hands is on her mouth, she pulls my hand off and glares at me. For the rest of the movie she stays silent and I'm like "cool, finally" and then we watch the rest of the movie with no other yells from her. Movie finally ends, we get out of the movie theater, into her car, and she starts yelling at me. She calls me disrespectful for putting my filthy (girl bye) hand over her mouth and that I was an a-hole. I tell her that everytime she screamed like she'd witnessed the death in front of her, I got embarrassed and people started looking at us! That she can do it at home, but not in public where other people are trying to enjoy the movie. Anyways, now she won't speak to me. I heard her discussing the movie with my dad and then she mentioned that her experience of the movie was ruined when I put my hand over her mouth. Like bruh. So, AITA for covering my mom's mouth with my hand during a movie?

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?

Mom demands I sit somewhere else because she wants to sit in my seats at theater

Tooks my girls (2,4,6) to the movies with my teen son this afternoon. I pick seats dead center a few rows up from the handicap row primarily because I have little kids who will need to go to the bathroom during the movie and getting in and out will be quick and least disrupting for others in the theater since it is a few steps from exit hallway. Get inside and go to sit the girls down so I can get their popcorn and drinks and in our seats are an old lady, her daugher and (I assume) her daughter's two kids (about 5-7 yos). Me: is this Row G? (Knowing it was) Grandma: No - it’s F. I walk back to the aisle and confirm what I already know. I tell Grandma - these are our seats. She gets up and says something to her daughter and then the daughter comes over to me with an annoyed demeanor. Daughter: Someone is sitting in our seats. You can sit somewhere else. Me: No. I picked and paid for these seats. If someone sat in your seats, go tell them to move. Daughter: It’s a nearly empty theater. Just sit somewhere else. Me: No. I paid for me and my kids to sit in these seats. If someone took your seats and won’t move, go talk to the manager. It’s not my problem someone is sitting in your seats. She argues some more about how I am being unreasonable and should just sit somewhere else. I replied that, if needed, I will get an employee in here and have them ask you to move. They get up, the daugher clearly angry and move into seats the row in front of me in a big huff and puff. Daughter (clutching her pearls): I can’t believe you did this in front of the children. You can sit anywhere else you want (completely ignoring the fact that SO CAN SHE). She actually made another comment that made me think she didn’t even have tickets to the movie. She sits in the row right in front of us and as I am walking out to get our drinks and popcorn, she is loudly going on and on berating me as I’m walking with my 2yo in my arms. She's talking loud enough so the people all the way in the back can hear her. When I step out of the theater, I tell an employee sweeping that I asked a lady to move out of the seats I paid for and now she's yelling at me and my kids. To the guy’s credit, he went inside and confronted her. On my way back in with refreshments, she’s outside talking to the manager… her whole family is out the theater which makes me think she never had tickets in the first place (probably waited for people leave out the side entrance and then snuck in or was in another movie and just moved to a different theater - which, I can say I have done at least once in my youth). And as I’m walking by, she says, “Sir - are you going to talk to the manager?!” as if I had anything to say. I said back, “I’m taking care of my kids. If he wants to take to me, he can find me.” She was still talking to him after I made a second trip to get drinks since they didn't have drink carriers in the theater. I might have just sat a row up if she hadjust apologized, pretended she messed up the rows and asked if it was alright if she could just stay there since they were already settled. Instead - she was an entitled jerk about and tried to make it seen like I was in the wrong to want my seats that I picked and paid for. And then tried to make a scene in the theater over it. Homie don’t play that

AITAH for breaking up with my boyfriend after finding out he’s in adult films?

So, I (23F) broke up with my boyfriend (24M), and now I’m stuck questioning if I went too far. We’d been together for six months, and everything felt great. He’s funny, sweet, and we had this amazing chemistry. He works as a mechanic (or at least that’s what I thought), and I’ve always admired how hardworking he seemed. A few days ago, though, my friend sent me a link that changed everything. She somehow came across a clip of him in an adult film. At first, I thought she was crazy, but curiosity got the better of me, and I watched it (don’t judge me, I needed to confirm). And yeah, it was definitely him his face, his tattoos, everything. I felt like the ground had been ripped out from under me. When I confronted him, he didn’t even try to deny it. He admitted that while he works full-time as a mechanic, he’s been doing adult films on the side for extra money. He claimed it’s “just work” and insisted it’s not a big deal, but I felt completely betrayed. He never once mentioned it to me, and the fact that he kept it hidden for six months made me wonder what else he might be hiding. Then, he turned it around on me, saying I was being judgmental and hypocritical. We argued for hours. He said I’m close-minded and that I don’t understand the industry, but I couldn’t get over the fact that he lied (or, okay, omitted such a massive part of his life). I ended things, telling him I couldn’t be in a relationship where I felt like this kind of trust was missing. Now, I’m overthinking everything. Was I being too harsh? Should I have been more understanding? Or was it fair for me to feel blindsided and betrayed?
