20 Wild Boyfriend And Husband Stories That’ll Make You Raise An Eyebrow

So, I've been with Owen for seven years. Lately, he’s been super snappy, which is new. I found a message on his phone from his ex asking to "talk," but I shrugged it off. Turns out, he’d been chatting with her behind my back for months!

Now he says he's invited to her wedding to be "supportive," but he snaps whenever I ask about it. Then, when I said if he was going to lie and be immature he needed to move out, he sneaked off to his sister’s place but told me that he was still with her - big fat lie. So yeah, I packed his stuff, called her (who told me he wasn’t staying there), and just broke up with him. All drama, zero trust.

I was stuck with a flat tire and terrible cramps, right near my boyfriend’s place. I asked him to help since I’m in pain and waiting for AAA could take forever. But nope, he was busy gaming with his friends and didn’t wanna come out. Even after I begged!

I ended up waiting an hour and a half for AAA, miserable and sore. Later, I told him I felt uncared for, and he called me overreacting and annoying. Yeah, not cool.

I’m kinda messy when it comes to dishes - they pile up sometimes. But instead of asking me nicely to clean up, my husband just throws away any dish he finds out of place! Cups, knives, anything goes straight to the trash. Lost a fancy knife and a water cup just because I forgot to put them away once. Is this the adult way to handle things? Feels like a petty game to me.

My childhood dog, Todd, passed away, and my boyfriend surprised me with a puppy of the same breed. Instead of being excited, I felt overwhelmed - not ready for a new dog, especially with a new job starting. I told him I needed space, but he got upset and left the puppy here.

Now I’m trying to find a great home for the puppy because I just can’t handle it yet. My boyfriend thinks I’m being cold for wanting to give the pup away, but I just want what’s best for her - and for me. Who’s right here?

My boyfriend is obsessed with video games lately. He goes from work straight to his PC and plays for hours - like a whole day sometimes! When I asked him to hang out or do something together, he seemed annoyed and went back to gaming.

I get that he needs downtime, but can there be room for me, too? Especially since he leaves the house two hours before me and just zones out while I'm waiting. And let’s not even talk about house chores – dishes pile up, laundry folds itself, apparently! He says he pays more bills so I should do more, but I work, too. Feeling kinda lost here.

I’m 36 and dating a 32-year-old. I met his bro and sis recently, and they made a weird comment - they said I look 18-20. Um, thanks? My boyfriend said he was "grossed out" by this and felt strange about dating me because of it. I called him an idiot because, newsflash, I’m actually older than him!

Now he says I’m immature. My friends side with me, but my bestie says maybe I shouldn’t have called him names in case they’re trying to manipulate him. What do you think? Did I go too far?

I found a person unconscious on the roadside, barely breathing and cold. Called 911 and stayed with them until help arrived. Felt like a hero, honestly.

Then I get home, and my husband freaks out about germs and asks if I disinfected everything, like I’m some walking biohazard. I cleaned what I could, but he kept acting like I was some disease factory. Didn’t ask if I or our kid were okay, didn’t even care about the person who needed help. So, yeah - I told him he was overreacting, and now we’re on the silent treatment. Who’s the jerk?

So I was choking on dinner. My boyfriend tried to do the Heimlich on me but kept messing up, hitting all the wrong spots. I finally shoved him away, used a chair, and saved myself.

Then instead of hugging me or checking if I was okay, he got mad that I didn’t let him help properly. Left the dirty plates and slammed the door. I called my mom to get me and that’s where we are now. I feel like I’m not the jerk - he just handled it super badly. Thoughts?

Went to a Renaissance fair with my boyfriend and sister. Was just cheering during the joust like everyone else when some guy freaked, saying I scared his kid and asked me to quiet down. My boyfriend then told me to "quiet down a bit" which felt like a slap in the face since the event encourages loud cheers.

I walked away to cool off with my sister, but later he got mad that I "abandoned" him and said we should always adjust for scared kids. I said nope, this is what these fairs are about! A bit of a showdown followed. Then there was some weird side-eying from the kid beforehand that just added to the tension.

So... AITA for keeping my cheer on and walking off?

So, my mom gave me Disney gift cards for graduation - but I wanted to plan a nice trip, not just a mess. Turns out, my boyfriend booked everything secretly without checking with me. Plus, he’s putting me in a group trip I don’t want, and wants us to crash at his family’s tiny, one-bedroom apartment with no space to sleep.

He booked a cheap motel night too, but reviews say it’s gross, so I booked a better place myself. When I asked about the budget, he had none!

Now I'm stressed planning a trip I didn’t want, and he's upset I canceled his motel. Am I the bad guy here?

So, my boyfriend and I moved in together after 3 years of long distance. His mom called wanting to "give her opinion" about our move - but instead, she unleashed a storm of insults, calling me selfish and saying if I really loved him, I'd handle the apartment alone until he graduated. She didn’t even let me explain our plan! Since then, we haven’t spoken.

My boyfriend says we both messed up and I should apologize to smooth things over, but I didn’t say anything rude - I just sat there while she ranted. I don’t want to lie down for her bad behavior.

We have his sister's wedding coming up. Should I apologize or stand my ground?

So, I surprised my husband with a juicy t-bone after work, and he was super happy. Problem is, he left half the steak out overnight with just a paper plate cover and - ew - a fly landed on it.

Instead of throwing it out, I gave it to our dog. He’s annoyed and says I should’ve just saved it for him. Honestly, I think it was gross. Plus, the dog lived and we’re fine - phew!

Am I the jerk for feeding the steak leftovers to the dog instead of saving it for hubby?

We try to avoid extra dishes, right? I realized we always have a couple of dirty mugs from morning coffee. So instead of dirtying a clean bowl, I’ve been using my husband’s dirty mug to scoop oatmeal foam off the stove, then rinsing it and throwing it in the dishwasher.

Sounds clever? Nope. Husband saw our son doing it and flipped out, calling it disrespectful. Told him I’d stop, but dang, it felt like I was doing him a favor. Who’s the jerk here?

I saw 10 euros in my boyfriend's pants while doing laundry and took it to treat my sister without telling him, planning to repay ASAP. When he asked for the money the next day and I said I spent it, he flipped out, called me a thief, and told me he can’t trust me anymore.

I was shocked - the money’s not that much, and I did offer to pay back double. Now he’s mad that I didn’t say anything and thinks I’m lying about what I spent it on. I did use the money on my sister and was just embarrassed to admit.

Am I the jerk here for borrowing and not asking first?

So my boyfriend wants his sister to move in with us but with zero rent from her, which makes me uncomfortable. She even told him to take his doorknob off so we can't do "things we're not supposed to," which feels super weird because we're adults!

He also complains about paying her rent first and won’t tell me why he’s footing her bills. I told my parents, and they think I should rethink this relationship.

Should I just tell him to live with his sister instead of me? What do I do?

My husband keeps giving me grief for not using the bidet every time I pee - he says I use too much toilet paper. Honestly, it's a pain to use the bidet all the time, and sometimes it doesn’t work well for me. I agreed to try using less toilet paper, but he actually wants to track how much we use weekly!

Feeling micromanaged and a bit anxious about bathroom stuff is not how I expected married life to be. When I shared this, he said I’m being "too sensitive" and even joked about "white people and bidets."

Am I the jerk for not jumping on the bidet bandwagon 24/7?

My 3-year-old daughter prefers me over my husband, which makes him sad. He asked me to encourage her to include him more.

So when my daughter was sharing juice with me, I asked if she’d offered her dad some. He got mad that I put them in a spot to say no or do something he didn’t want.

He rarely drinks juice, but would a sip hurt? I felt like it was a way for him to be part of the moment, but he thinks I should’ve considered it more carefully.

Am I the jerk for nudging my kiddo to include him even if it’s a little awkward?

I usually help my husband when he cooks, but now with a toddler and a baby, it's nonstop chaos over here. Lately, when he cooks, I ignore his million questions because I’m busy. When he complains, I just say, "Figure it out, you’re a grown man!"

Am I the jerk for giving him the silent treatment while he tackles dinner? Just need a break sometimes!

We’ve been together five years but live an hour apart, mostly remote work keeping us apart. I want to move in with him in the city, but every time his lease ends, he avoids plans and just renews. I try to bring it up, but he dodges and sends me apartment links...for just me.

On a call, I got cold and told him I’m not sure if we’re serious enough to bring him as my plus-one to a wedding, which hurt him. Now we’re barely talking.

He blames me, says I stalled on plans, but I know I was ready. I said I might need a break and space to think. I don’t want to ghost him, but I also don’t know what’s next.

Am I the jerk for being so blunt and distant?

I promised to drive my girlfriend home, but after hanging out all day, it got late, and I was wiped out. The drive is two hours roundtrip, and I’ve almost crashed before trying to drive tired.

Her dad won’t let her sleep over at my place, so no overnight stay. I offered to nap and drive later, but she said no because of curfew. So, I had to get her dad to pick her up at midnight after a two-hour drive.

Her dad was really mad and even had work next day, but apparently his daughter’s “purity” trumps safety. Who’s the jerk here? I feel like both of us messed up.
