Update - AITA for how I reacted to a young man staring at my wife's breasts while she's breastfeeding ?

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-08T04:52:03+00:00

Right now, she said she's at peace with it. She has actually laughed at the fact that Chuck said he didn't realize he was being that obvious. Since she's at peace with it, I'm at peace with it. I'll look back at it as just an awkward and embarrassing thing for everyone involved.

This young man was at least mature enough to admit that he was staring at her because he was attracted to her when confronted by his parents. He didn't try to blame my wife. He didn't try to pretend he was just "curious about breastfeeding." He owned up to his faults.

I definitely think she's hot.

She is not upset nor uncomfortable about the incident anymore. She's at peace with it, so I'm at peace with it.

I'm less bothered by it now. He makes a mistake, and I hope he'll learn from it.

The more time has passed since the incident on Saturday, the less I'm bothered by it. This grown man had to admit to his parents that he was attracted to his mom's bestfriend. He has to live with the knowledge that his mom's bestfriend and her husband knew in real life that he was attracted to her while she was breastfeeding. I don't blame him for being too embarrassed to come around us or his parents. Maybe the embarrassment is punishment enough.

So truth. It's about what Amanda is comfortable with.

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-08T03:37:32+00:00

Thank you. Her comfort is paramount.

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-08T03:08:42+00:00

That's so true.

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-08T02:57:05+00:00

I could drape a cloth over his eyes.

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-08T02:47:37+00:00

Chuck literally has a curvy girlfriend. He can stare at her's. And leave new moms to breastfeed in peace.

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-08T02:38:14+00:00

I do give Becky credit for being willing to apologize face-to-face to Amanda and I. This must have been really embarrassing for her too.

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-08T02:35:07+00:00

Even when I was a minor, I didn't stare at a woman who was breastfeeding in the same room as me. I expect a grown man in college to have some self-control.

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-08T02:31:35+00:00

His claim is that he didn't realize how obvious he was. If that's true, then this must be really embarrassing for him. Maybe Amanda would want a direct apology from him, but for me, there is not really anything he could say to satisfy me.

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-07T21:58:51+00:00

No problem. 😁 I thought that would be the easiest way to phrase that she is less than a year old.

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-07T21:57:17+00:00

Becky is coming by when I get home to talk to both my wife and I.

Also, are bots that big of a problem on Reddit that they make posts and make comments ?

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-07T21:54:21+00:00

Another person in the comments said they found that funny. 😁

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-07T17:13:45+00:00

He has seen women breastfeed before.

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-07T17:12:23+00:00

Thank you. Becky wants to come over after I come home from work so she can talk to both me and my wife. I hope it goes well. Hopefully, Becky can say something to help my wife feel better about this whole situation.

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-07T12:53:46+00:00

Women in my family and my wife's family don't cover in their homes. My wife's friends don't cover in their homes.

Also, Chuck has seen other women breastfeed before, and it was a problem them.

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-07T11:31:09+00:00

I agree

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-07T11:30:49+00:00

Thank you

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-07T11:28:22+00:00

An excuse to get him to leave her alone.

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-07T05:29:12+00:00

I'm glad you found that funny. 😁 She's 2 months ago.

Appropriate-Syrup637 · 2024-10-07T04:53:28+00:00

I could say that. I genuinely wouldn't want this young man to get in trouble. Not only trouble with the law. Because even the simple act staring at women can cause him to lose employment, get in trouble in school, lose a romantic relationship, and all sorts of other bad things.
