Just reading the headline for this post, you might be thinking this woman was in the wrong. Humiliating anyone isn’t typically the way to go, as it has more downsides than upsides, but like with all of the posts on the subreddit Am I The A**hole, you might want to hear her out.
This woman begins by saying that her brother-in-law is a know-it-all and blowhard who isn’t as smart as his family has always promised him he was. She’s annoyed by his misogynistic tendencies and his lack of ability to hear anyone but himself.
He also never admits when he’s wrong.

They were at a dinner and he was spouting about the stock market, and though OP (original poster) thought it sounded wrong, she didn’t really know.

What she did know was that her friend, who was an expert, was at the table. She hadn’t heard, so OP asked her BIL to repeat everything for her sake.
Which was when sh*t went down, he got taken down a bung of pegs, and ran off with his tail between his legs.

Things haven’t been the same at family functions since then. Her husband wants her to apologize, and with time between the incident and now, she feels like maybe she was being petty.

This is maybe one of the more balanced posts I’ve seen on the forum, as far as how people are voting.
Many people say she’s NTA (Not The A**hole), but if she egged him on, she might want to apologize anyway, just because they’re family and it might make things easier.

While other people say she’s NTA because she did him a favor in calling out his narcissistic behavior, something no one who has “cared” about him has ever done before then.

Or maybe NTA because it was just a little nudge, right?

Some people are just shouting NTA! from the rooftops. Ha!

While others pointed out that really, this seems like a win/win.

Okay, fine, so maybe the opinions aren’t as split as I might have indicated…do you think they should be?
Where do you come down on this one?
Careful, because if you sympathize with this guy, Reddit says you might be a narcissist, too…
