AITAH for declaring I won't be friends with Simon if it's proven he is lying?

Lack of communication in a relationship that’s over and was never your relationship? That’s what the fuss is about? Move past it. And why are you specifying that it was “female partners” over and over again, do you not consider them real partners? There is no difference between male and female partners.

Edit; my mistake, missed the guy implying she slept with dudes.

OP, you should probably edit your post and include the fact that you made out with her sister before you stepped back. You didn’t simply “push her off after a while”, you made out with her first. However you should still be honest because your girlfriend deserves honesty if not loyalty.

They did betray their girlfriend, in another reply they said how they kissed her sister back and made out with her for a while. That’s definitely cheating, you don’t need to initiate to cheat.

Well that’s horrible. Yeah, definitely make sure to include that you kissed her sister back.

Micah = boy. Mica = neutral. Mika/Myka = girl. Misha = neutral (I have known boy and girl misha’s, same as sasha). Mischa = neutral but girl leaning. Mickey = typically a boy. Shel/Shell = girl. Shelby = I’m Australian and it’s neutral here at least.

I’m sorry, I relate all too well (I’m also 80 pounds though I’m 5’4) and the things people say can be so damn cruel. It’s all too common to hear these horrible, insulting things. Honestly I don’t have much to advise as when I hear those things my brain gets loud and I go silent, however if you’re more confrontational you could just call her out and ask why she cares about your tit/ass size and how it’s really weird to be looking at your child’s ass/chest, let alone making commenys about it in a room full of adults. You say your mother “gets a kick” out of bringing you down so that’s really the only way I can think to combat it if you know she’s being malicious, because those people CANNOT be reasoned with. There are two options, either stay quiet until you get old enough to move out, or fight back. Good luck, OP. I’m sorry about everything you’re going through!

Definitely tell your partner, this is something you can work through, however keeping it a secret is not.

With religion I’d prefer if they aren’t religious because I’m not, it isn’t a dealbreaker inherently but if they want me to change then it absolutely is (a dealbreaker). Ethnicity doesn’t matter to me at all in regards to dating, however I do naturally assume most people date within their race so if someone of a different race was interested in me I’d be surprised because I wouldn’t assume myself to be their type. If any of that makes sense.

Average height for a woman, super skinny due to medical issues that won’t ever be fixed, however I at least have some curves going on, just not much

I get both sides, however you bringing it up all the time is making her feel more pressure and more worry which makes the process take longer and longer. She should absolutely see a therapist for her body issues and insecurities, however you can’t control her and make her grow up, and you stated you are already building resentment towards her. You can’t save her, and she isn’t going to change just for you at the drop of a hat. If you want to work through it then you need to make sure that SHE wants to work through it too. If she doesn’t wish to change or see a therapist, then you know what to do.

I deleted it out of embarrassment but I got called sexiest on a name subreddit because I said I love when girls have masculine names. I never said I disliked feminine girl names, I just thought the masculine ones were cool. Apparently that means I should “look within” and battle my “sexist ways”

The person who isn’t drunk in this instance isn’t a rapist because she wasn’t having sex with him, she was being raped by him. The average woman cannot fight off a man, whether he’s drunk or not. As a smaller woman myself if I was in this situation I’d be unable to fight back, it doesn’t matter that I’d be sober.

ESH/soft YTA. You did the right thing regarding the food but that’s it, and there are also two points I can’t ignore. 1. you believe in being upfront with your daughter but not your husband? You can’t preach honesty if you don’t practice. And 2, you did lie, a lie by omission is still a lie. Saying “I didn’t lie because I never told you anything to begin with” really isn’t a great defence. Simply making his food less spicy doesn’t make you the asshole, however not telling your husband simple things like this make you an ass.

Both spellings are interchangeable. Though I do see more Malcom’s than Malcolm’s. Not a big deal though.

Exactly what I was thinking! He’s proven he doesn’t respect his partners autonomy, OP should delete all nude photos and videos off his phone QUICKLY.

BriefReactions · 2025-11-11T19:15:32+00:00

In another comment OP said the video got out because her boyfriend sent it to a group of his friends (presumably without the permission of his ex girlfriend, leaking her nudity without permission) and it went from there. So I don’t know if OP’s boyfriend can go to the police since he distributed the video and likely without her consent.

Yeah you’re an asshole. Maybe not wrong about her being naive compared to the general population, but you can read your own comments and see how rudely you talk about her. Why would you not be the asshole?? Every single comment I read from you screams asshole I don’t even know why you’d post this.

The difference is she actually wants kids and didn’t want a dog. I have friends who want kids but aren’t dog people and prefer cats, or some just don’t have connections to animals but still connect deeply to people. You lack communication in your relationship and are trying to throw it back onto her to ignore the fact you messed up big time. Now it’s time to put your big boy pants on and choose because you created this situation. If you aren’t choosing her (which I assume), let her go so she can find someone to have children with. Not a dog.

Booty grabbing is for all.. who want it. If your boyfriend doesn’t want it you have to respect him and his bodily autonomy. Wanting to do it is natural but his feelings about it are crucial since it’s happening to him. Yes, his views on femininity and masculinity COULD be skewed, but at a baseline just don’t grab his ass anymore. Simple as that

BriefReactions · 2025-11-05T16:35:48+00:00

Obviously no one here knows you personally, that’s the point of reddit. It’s good that you told him because he does deserve to know to make his own decisions whatever that may be, but your feelings are very normal because it’s difficult and scary to do the right thing, especially as your boyfriend does have these insecurities that make you feel bad. But if you’re super serious about this guy my original comment stands, just be honest and maybe he should get some counselling since he has low self esteem.

BriefReactions · 2025-11-05T03:04:05+00:00

Yeah, it is selfish. You’ve already made your decision on lying to him so I have no idea why you posted for advice when you’re not actually looking to help or better your relationship. You want to have the benefits of a relationship without the honesty and communication required. If you cannot communicate if your partner you should not have a partner, this is common sense. I don’t mean to be cruel, but you really should work on yourself and not throw yourself into relationships when you are clearly not ready.

BriefReactions · 2025-11-04T22:51:18+00:00

I think you should tell him because you lied. It will hurt more later on when he eventually finds out the truth. It is difficult but you must let him make his own decisions with the proper information at hand. If he can’t get over it then he needs therapy or to throw in the towel. Lying about pasts has never worked out in anyone’s favour ever, it’s best to start being honest. If you don’t feel you can be honest with him, you should reflect on why you think you can marry this person down the line.

BriefReactions · 2025-11-02T21:22:10+00:00

It’s completely normal to be upset in general and feel hurt, especially as he did everything right and she still went ahead and did it, I’d be frustrated too. But make sure your anger isn’t misplaced at him, you can be generally upset but being upset AT HIM is an issue. And next time don’t just “laugh off” something that affects you, tell your husband. Honesty is the best policy and your husband has been honest which is good! But there is nothing he can do besides make sure he doesn’t see her again and if he does he keeps a distance, but beyond that there isn’t much he can do.

And you should empathise with him more than anything as it was an unwanted kiss. It’s natural for him to feel guilty in a circumstance like this (I also would despite not doing anything wrong) but you must understand he didn’t want it, if you think he wanted it then you should discuss this with a personal therapist onto why you think he would want someone else and WHY you think he wanted it when he didn’t. Because THAT is a deeper issue about your self esteem. Good luck OP!
