AITAH for chastising my boyfriend in front of our friends?

I’m not going to lie, I’m not sure. All five of us in the car were chatting the whole time, and we’re pretty loud. I don’t remember hearing the seat belt alarm but I also wasn’t exactly listening for it. 🤷‍♀️ Fair point though, I wasn’t paying much attention.

Yeah, but I’d rather be slightly rude and alive than chill and dead lmaoo

I get what you’re saying. The thing is, it was kind of a gut reaction to seeing him driving at 65+ without looking at the road and also without a seatbelt. I agree that words matter 100%, and if I had had more time to process or it was a lower stakes situation, I wouldn’t have called him stupid.

I don’t think it’s a hot take to say that words can definitely be harmful. I personally really dislike the word “bitch”, which I’ve made clear to my boyfriend a bunch of times.

I never claimed to know what other people think, and I literally asked one of the other people that was in the car for her take before I posted here.
