Man Asks if He Was Wrong for Yelling at his Wife and In-Laws After They Told Him to Stop Cuddling His Daughter

I’ve heard so many awful in-law stories lately that I think I’m still gonna hold off on getting married for a little while…

I think some of my married friends out there might know what I’m talking about, right?

Because things can get complicated and much worse when in-laws try to butt in and tell the people who are married to their children how to do things…and here’s a perfect example of that.

The man took to the Reddit “Am I the *sshole” forum to tell his story and ask for feedback. Let’s take a look.

AITA for telling my wife and in-laws to f*ck off after they told me to stop cuddling my daughter?

“I have 3 kids, 15F, 12F and 7M.

My oldest has always been a cuddler, and that suits me fine because I am too. Recently my in laws were over, and we were all watching a movie together. It was a kids movie, and so my 15yo was bored out of her mind and tired, so she started to snuggle up to me and go to sleep.

After the movie was over, we sent all the kids to bed/their rooms and got chatting for a bit longer. There was a fair bit of wine involved (I was sober though), and eventually after a short silence my FIL let it drop that he thought it was inappropriate I still cuddled with my 15 yo.

I don’t really know why he brought it up suddenly, but I was prepared to laugh it off and just assumed it was the alcohol. To my surprise, my wife and MIL both agreed with him.

I have a lot of respect for my in-laws, I get along with them great and I consider them closer than my own parents. Obviously I’m quite fond of my wife as well, but I outright told them to “f*ck off and go f*ck themselves” and then left them and went to bed.

I’ve never spoken to any of them like that before, but it felt like the right thing to say in the moment. They all want me to apologize for being so rude to them. AITA?

Edit due to info request: We were not spooning, she was sitting next to me laying on my chest.”

Oh, boy…let’s see what people on Reddit had to say about this.

This person made it abundantly clear that the man was not wrong in any way for his actions.

And another reader responded with an interesting take on the whole situation.

Could it be that they were trying to link this dad’s behavior to toxic masculinity?

Another parent weighed in and said there is nothing wrong with the dad’s actions and that they still cuddle with their older kids, as well.

This Reddit user said that we as human beings need contact and it’s a basic need.

So, in other words, there’s nothing wrong with it.

A 19-year-old individual talked about how they still cuddle with their mom.

Finally, a person made a very good point about not letting the daughter even know about this situation, because it could lead to hurt feelings.

So what do you think about this?

Was this guy wrong for lashing out at his family like this?

This Woman Kicked Her Sister Out for Flirting With Her Husband. Was This the Wrong Move?

There’s nothing quite like a sibling rivalry, don’t you think?

And you’re about to hear a real doozy!

Call me old-fashioned, but I think there are unwritten rules when it comes to hitting on or trying to steal a sibling’s significant other. Do you agree?

A woman ended up kicking her sister out for flirting with her husband…

Things are really heating up on Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole” forum. Check out this story.

AITA for kicking my sister out because she tried flirting with my husband ?

“I(27F) have a little sister, Emily (20F). My husband (27M) and I have been together since our college days.

Back when we started dating, Emily, who was 13-14 then, seemed to have this little crush on my husband (then boyfriend). She would blush in his presence, stutter while talking to him etc; we assumed that the crush went away as she grew older and her behaviour indicated so.

My husband thinks of Emily as the little sister he never had, and treats her as such. We’ve not had much contact with Emily over the years, as we live in a different state at the other side of the country and she’s been busy with her schooling. Last week, my parents and Emily were visiting our house for my birthday weekend.

From the moment Emily arrived, she would not stop flirting with my husband. From excessively complimenting everything he did to proclaiming things like they would make a great pair etc etc. My husband looked very uncomfortable; and so did my parents. I don’t know how we got through the dinner.

After the evening was done, my husband asked me if there was something wrong with Emily and that why was she behaving like THAT? He said she made him very uncomfortable and asked me to talk to her.

So I found her alone, and tried telling her that it was fine if she had/has a crush but it’s never fine to make anyone uncomfortable. I told her that it would be nice if she kept her distance for the remaining two days they were here, since he was NOT okay with this behaviour.

She said she wasn’t being flirty or improper. I told her that she was indeed being inappropriate and it was very creepy that she would try to flirt with my husband.

She got very defensive and said that I was being insecure and I quote, “If I was really flirting with him, you wouldn’t stand a chance.” I lost it as this point and told her that she’s no longer welcome in our house and should f*ck off the first thing in the morning.

Emily and my parents left the very next day; even though my dad agreed that Emily’s behaviour, throughout the evening, was very inappropriate, and that she should apologize to my husband.

Mom thinks nothing of that sort happened and all three of us are being delusional and that it was a d*ck move to kick Emily, and by extension her, out of my house when they’d travelled all the way here.

AITA?”

Wow…

Well, as you know, people on Reddit LOVE to share their opinions. Let’s see what some of them had to say.

This person clearly didn’t think the woman was in the wrong.

And this person made a great point about how gender plays into this whole situation.

Another Reddit user pointed out that the little sister’s rude (and scandalous) comment shows what kind of a person she really is.

Photo Credit: Reddit

A person argued that the little sister obviously has some issues and she refused to change her behavior even though she had been told that she made her brother-in-law uncomfortable.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And then this person brought up an excellent point: maybe this woman should have told her sister to stop immediately instead of waiting for a while.

And finally, another Reddit user said that since the younger sister is only 20-years-old, maybe this is a maturity problem and her sister needs to grow up and respect your household.

Okay, friends, now we want to hear from you.

In the comments, let us know what you think about this situation and if this woman was wrong for what she did to her sister.

We look forward to it!

Guy Asks if He’s Wrong for Not Telling His Wife Her Underage Daughter Got Drunk

I always find it to be so interesting to see how moms and dads react so differently to underage drinking.

Some are completely mortified by it and act like the world might be ending, and others just seem to take it in stride and not let it ruin their day…or their year…

This story comes to us from Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole” page and it involves underage drinking and some secrets…

Let’s see what this guy had to say.

AITA for not telling my wife that I picked her daughter up drunk from a house party?

“I’m going to try to keep this short and simple.

I always tell my daughter and my stepdaughter if they’re ever in a situation that they need to get out of, just call me and I’ll drop whatever I’m doing and I will pick them up no questions asked no judgments made.

I let them know that I used to be a teenager once before, I told them everyone is entitled to make bad decisions every now and then. We’re only human and it’s a part of life.

Last weekend I got a call from my stepdaughter (17), she told me she snuck out of the house and went to a party and had too much to drink. She was scared of passing out at the party because there was people there she didn’t know.

I got there just in time, she was so drunk she couldn’t even walk. I had to pick her up and carry her to the car. I told her I was disappointed that she snuck out, but I also told her I was glad she made the right choice, the safe choice to have me pick her up.

I haven’t told my wife about it, because I don’t want to violate the deal I made with her. I want her to know that she can trust me. I just hope I’m making the right choice.”

Uh oh…sounds like a pretty sticky situation to me. Let’s see what AskReddit users had to say about this.

One person argued that the trust between the man and his stepdaughter should not be broken.

Another reader responded with some very good advice about what the man should do next regarding his stepdaughter.

And a woman who is also a mom offered up her thoughts about how she would have handled the situation.

Another Reddit user talked about how keeping secrets is not a good thing…and it could lead to trouble.

Lastly, this person did not agree with the others who responded and thinks that the man did indeed act like an *sshole in this situation.

How do you feel about this situation?

Should he have filled his wife in about this situation, or kept her in the dark?

Guy Asks if He’s a Jerk for Yelling at His Wife Over Two Dollars

I want my two dollars!

Sorry, I had to do it.

But let’s move on.

This story appeared on Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole” forum. A man asked folks if he overreacted and if he should feel bad about blowing up at his wife over what on the surface was a measly two dollars, but was actually the culmination of a lot of issues.

Let’s see what happened.

AITA for yelling at my wife over $2?

“My wife (38F) and I (33M) have been married for 8 years. We have one child together (5M).

Some background that might be relevant: I work full time. She works about 15 hours a week. Our finances have always been separate. However, I pay all the bills and for all our “fun stuff,” as well as give her an allowance of $1,000 per month. In fact, she currently has almost three times as much money saved as I do.

The fight: We were out for a walk and I wanted to get a holiday drink from a coffee shop for us to share. My wife told me not to get it. She said she had a gift card, but only for a certain location. So I waited until we walked past that location. My wife then said she would go in to get it and we would meet at home. I left with our son.

When my wife got home I noticed she was drinking a plain coffee. I asked her where my drink was and she said there wasn’t enough money left on her card to get me the kind that I wanted. I admit I kind of blew up at her.

I asked her why she didn’t just let me buy the drink myself then? Or why not use some of the money I gave her. Or even just let me know she couldn’t get it. Honestly, it’s like a $2 difference.

I was actually so mad I had to leave the house. I’m currently at my sister’s place, just hanging out in the front yard (because COVID). I don’t know if I should go home and apologize for yelling or stay until I’ve truly calmed down

My wife always makes me feel like I’m overreacting but I feel genuinely hurt.”

Hmmmm, this sure is a tricky situation….

Let’s see what other folks on Reddit had to say about this.

This person said that the man was not wrong and that he’s clearly been giving and giving and not getting much back in return.

And this person went so far as to even call his situation “financial abuse”.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And this Reddit user brought up a very good point: who would actually do what the man’s wife did to someone they love? It sure struck me as odd.

This reader didn’t beat around the bush AT ALL.

Take a look.

And this individual stated the obvious: that the incident with the coffee triggered the emotional reaction that had been a long time coming.

Here’s another person who laid out the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

And I agree, a $1,000 monthly allowance is pretty wild.

What do you think?

Is this guy a jerk or was he justified in the way he acted?
