AITA for exposing my girlfriend?
i (F20) have been with my girlfriend for a few years now, and we’ve been veryveryvery happy.
until last week.
we were having dinner with some friends and the conversation shifted into “who fell first.” before i could say anything or even make a small noise, i see her stupid finger point straight at me with LIGHTNING speed.
everybody nods, nobody defends me.
truthfully, i think she’s projecting. so i decided to sit her down a few days later and tell her she’s a hypocrite and that SHE (!!) is obsessed. i bring up these points:
i mentioned i like a specific candy exactly eight months ago, and now she buys them anytime she passes by the store?
whenever she goes on walks, she texts me a picture of anything she sees outside, whether that’s a bird or a lamp post, because it “reminds her of me.”
anytime we are in group settings, she always ends up standing right next to me. arms brushing and all. i’ve actually tested this one out! i inch away from her sneakily, yet she always latches back onto me.
when i post a photo of myself, she’s always the first person to like it and comments AT LEAST twelve times. like are you just refreshing my page until i post something new? one time, i changed my profile picture and thirty seconds later, she texts me “cute pic btw.”
i rest my case.
however, when i dropped all this on her, she didn’t laugh. her smile dropped after every point i brought up.
she called me ridiculous, psychotic, and asked if i had a job or any hobbies for when she’s not around.
i called her cute and in love with me.
she stormed out and now it’s day 3 of silent treatment (except, every night she forgets to keep up her act and glues herself into my arms until she wakes up the next morning. then, proceeds to act like it didn’t happen and tries to gaslight me into thinking i’m imagining things because i’m the obsessed one).
my friends won’t pick a side because apparently we’re both “embarrassing” so i decided to bring it onto reddit.
so finally, AITA?
EDIT : my girlfriend has found this post. she says i conveniently left out some important details, like the fact that i immediately call her adorable every time she does all of this. she also said that this is further proving her point of me being the obsessed one because i keep a track of every single thing she does.
i disagree.

AITA for refusing to move?
so yesterday, my girlfriend and i were having a movie night. just the usual, nothing new.
we’re sitting on the couch and we’re both focusing on the screen, watching whatever’s going on in the scene.
i move to put the volume down since it was too loud and our walls are thin, until i feel something drop on my shoulder.
i would describe it as heavy but she might see this post and kill me.
it was her head, her eyes were closed, clearly sleeping.
at first i thought it was cute, so i made myself comfortable and made sure she kept sleeping on my shoulder, stretching my arms out to reach for the blanket and cover her with it.
minutes passed and the movie ended. my girlfriend’s nap, unfortunately, did not.
i considered moving slightly, but as soon as i did, she somehow pulled me closer and frowned in her sleep.
so i stopped trying and just accepted that i was trapped.
my phone was just out of reach, sitting on the table, taunting me. i could see it but i could not get to it. eventually it died, i started getting thirsty and hungry, and my leg started feeling numb. i even forgot what having a leg felt like.
despite all of this, she looked so peaceful and beautiful laying on my shoulder, it’d be wrong to just wake her up.
so i stayed put.
after a few hours, she finally wakes up and i shoot up to my feet, wobbling to the fridge to get a bottle of water.
instead of thanking me for being her pillow for many, many, many hours, she immediately notices my pain and asks me why i was moving around like an old man desperately in need of a walking stick.
i explained that i haven’t moved this whole time because she was asleep.
she buried her face in her hands when i told her i was hungry and thirsty.
she genuinely got upset and spent the next hour just apologizing, even though this was entirely my decision.
i told her she just looked so comfortable and i couldn’t bring myself to wake her up, but she wasn’t satisfied with that excuse.
she’s currently making me sit on the couch and bringing me whatever i want while, still, angrily telling me to wake her up next time.
i told her it was worth it and i’d do it again.
that made her even more annoyed.
AITA?

AITA for embarrassing my girlfriend in public?
my girlfriend thinks i embarrassed her in public, which is a dramatic way to put it, but everyone we know always sides with her.
it’s annoying.
for context (this is important), i haven’t seen my girlfriend ALL day. we were texting of course, but that’s not the same as being physically with her.
i was at the mall with some friends, just walking around and searching through stores for nothing in particular.
and then i saw an angel (my girlfriend).
but she wasn’t next to me, in front of me, or anywhere near me.
i spotted her from the top of the escalator full of people, and she was at the bottom.
not to be dramatic too but everything around me kind of disappeared.
so, obviously i got excited, is that a crime?
before i could stop myself, i yelled out “BABY!” to get her attention and she froze. she looked horrified. i was just really happy to see her.
i know i can be really loud sometimes but she said everyone around me flinched, which has to be an exaggeration. i think only 2 or 16 people turned around.
after i yelled, i also starting waving both of my arms above my head in case she couldn’t see me in the busy mall. she told me i looked like i was trying to swat away a fly?
the first thing she told me once she finally got to me was “why would you do that” and her face was bright red.
i still don’t understand what i did wrong…
she told me i do this every time.
i told her to give me examples.
she listed only 6.
according to her, i nearly ran into a family of four because i was too busy staring at her. i also waved at her and squealed loud enough for her to hear me through a restaurant window one time.
she says i make her want to melt into the floor whenever i do this, like god forbid a girl misses her girlfriend and gets excited to see her again?
she’s laying next to me, peeking at what i’m writing and told me to also add that it gets worse when we have to say goodbye to each other in public.
in her words, i wait until she’s completely out of sight to stop waving with a pout on my face, as if she’s leaving for war.
so, AITA?

AITA for not helping my girlfriend?
my girlfriend has a habit of being stubborn when it comes to asking for help.
she makes all simple tasks way more challenging than they need to be.
if she’s carrying eighteen things at once, she won’t let me help, and once one of them falls out of her grip, she just looks me dead in the eyes and says “i got it.”
like today, we were coming home after some grocery shopping and i went to grab the bags out of the trunk. i INSTANTLY feel her nudge me away and say “no, i got it.”
i asked if she was sure and she said yes.
i asked three more times and she just said “daniela,” very firmly.
i took that as a threat so i stepped back and let her handle it because if i asked one more time she would’ve been offended.
impressively, she managed to grab all the bags in one go.
halfway to our house, a bag started slipping from her hand.
then i heard a box of snacks fall to the floor, followed by her very loud and annoyed groan.
i asked if she needed help. again, she said no. she clearly needed it but i let her stay delusional. a second later, we heard something else drop. she asked me what it was, but i didn’t know, i wasn’t allowed to touch anything…
“why is this bag ripping?”
“where are my keys?”
if i tried to answer anything, she would just shush me. there was nothing i could do.
at one point, she stopped walking and i finally thought she would ask for some help, she was holding six grocery bags by three fingers!! she looked overwhelmed but she kept going. the only thing i heard coming from her was “don’t look at me.”
i end up carrying the bags after she finally snaps and admits she needs help, but soon after, she asks me “why were you just standing there and not helping me?”
i try to keep my composure and tell her that she didn’t let me go anywhere near the bags.
she said i could’ve helped but instead i just watched her struggle.
i reminded her that anytime i volunteered to help, she’d shoot lasers out of her eyes at me.
AITA for listening to her and respecting her wishes??
EDIT: she would like everyone to know that the material of the bags was the issue, and if they had been stronger then she’d carry it no problem.

AITA for laughing at my girlfriend mid-argument?
i’m starting this by saying i love my girlfriend so much.
but right now she’s a little mad at me.
yesterday, my girlfriend tripped over her own shoelace. she’s completely fine but it made me laugh, which is a very normal reaction.
except i kept bringing it up and now she’s fed up.
she would tell me to pass the remote, i would respond by telling her to be careful and not trip again.
she asked me where her charger was, i suggested she might’ve tripped over it.
she said good morning, i asked if she remembered when she fell.
she asked me what the time was, i said it was time for her to watch her step.
as you can imagine, she was tired of hearing it and argued i was incredibly annoying, it made sense. she was telling me she was upset and actually made some good points that i agree with.
i swear i was listening.
but the way she said “i fell ONE time” reminded me of it again and i couldn’t help replaying the scene in my head with photographic memory.
i tried really hard not to laugh again, i looked away, i bit my lip, i even thought about something sad. predictably, i couldn’t hold it in any longer and let a short laugh out.
my girlfriend fell (haha) completely silent.
she asked me if i seriously just laughed, and i shook my head so fast it made everything blur for a second. she tried to keep going but i just kept laughing anytime she would bring it up again.
she got frustrated enough to throw a pillow at me and sat down with her phone pulled out.
i asked what she was doing and she said she’s waiting until i was done and ready to be mature.
she keeps muttering under her breath that laughing in the middle of an argument is very disrespectful.
i just wish she would stop reminding me of it, maybe then we could actually progress instead of me giggling again and sending us back to square one…
AITA? (i already know the answer to this, pls be gentle)

AITA for missing my girlfriend’s “obvious hints”?
to put it bluntly, my girlfriend spent an entire day flirting with me and i didn’t notice.
she claims the signs were painfully obvious, i claim we were having normal conversations!!
to provide some background, we were spending the day together and she, for some reason, decided this was the perfect time to try (emphasis on try) being romantic.
her first so called “hint” was when she glanced over at me and sighed “i wish someone would cuddle me right now.”
i agreed and said “yeah that sounds nice” and continued doing what i was doing beforehand.
later, she sat closer and said “i would love to hold hands with someone.”
i replied with “i think most people would” and the silence was uncomfortably long after, i guess she didn’t like that one?
then she showed me a cute video of a couple going on a date on her phone and turned to me to say “this is so cute! if only my girlfriend would take me on a date like this.”
i nodded and told her she should communicate with her girlfriend about that (i’m the girlfriend btw).
i think that might’ve been her last straw because she straight up asked “are you actually this oblivious?”
she informed me she had been trying to flirt with me for the last two hours, that made me look around to see who she was talking about…
i don’t know how she expected me to know what she wanted, i’m not a mind reader??
she says she literally told me.
now she’s telling everyone i’m the most oblivious person in the world, i told her to tell me what she wants more clearly next time instead of implying things.
AITA?
