With a title like that, is there really any question? But as per usual on Reddit’s popular Am I The Asshole sub, there’s always more of a story.
Presumedly, that’s why u/Sadiawil977 wrote in wondering if “AITA for interrupting my husband’s “Live stream” and going off on him after he “forgot” to feed and change our daughter’s diaper?”
Here’s her tale:
My f32 husband m35 I has a YouTube channel with over 14k followers.
Far be it from me to lol but lol, 14k is nothing.
He’s been doing live streaming a lot lately even though I told him that we have responsibilities to take care of. Before our daughter (she’s 7 months old) was born he’d stream randomly and spend lot of time with his “followers”. Answering questions and engaging in conversations.
This guy sounds INTOLERABLE — he’s spending time with his “fans” rather than his family. Why? Because it’s “good for his mental health.”
He keeps saying that his followers are good for his mental health and that engaging with them weekly makes him become better at socializing and communicating.
OP’s husband now wants to livestream and can’t wait for OP to check out the family schedule to find a good time.
He’s been complaining about wanting to do a live stream for days. I told him we’d look at our schedule and see if we could get him some time to make it happen. Apparently, this wasn’t good enough. Yesterday I had to go grocery shopping and asked him to keep an eye on our daughter while she was asleep. He said okay.
OP needed to go grocery shopping. Guess what her husband did…
I was gone for 4hrs
She was gone for four hours (good lord, that’s a long trip) and checked in, but started to get a feeling that something was wrong.
but kept calling him to see if everything was OK. He’d tell me she was alright and that she was sleeping. I started getting this weird feeling something was wrong because, she must’ve had been hungry or needed a diaper change. He argued that everything was fine.
When OP got home, she looked for her husband and found her unchanged, unfed daughter.
I immediately went home and when I entered the house I didn’t find him, I shouted his name but got nothing. I went into the bedroom and saw that my daughter was awake and her diaper wasn’t changed…and worse was that her bottle was even touched.
Then she saw the husband’s office door was shut. Hooooo boy.
I was confused I got out and noticed that his office’s door was closed. I figured he was doing a live streaming from the noise I heard.
OP was furious, barged in, and yelled at him for neglecting their daughter. He reacted like an influencer: he yelled at OP for “ruining his channel.”
I was beyond seething I barged into the office and saw him sitting. I blew up while he was trying to turn his mic off and telling me to stop but I didnt stop. I berated him for leaving our daughter unattended and with no milk nor diaper change. He freaked out on me saying I just ended his entire channel and destroyed his fan base for interrupting his live stream and embarrassing and scandalized him like that. I told him to not say a word but he kept yelling calling me out of control and unhinged. He was almost crying so I had to leave the office.
They fought until OP left to stay with her mother. Now he’s sad and wants them back.
He kept fighting with me til I decided to go stay with my mom. He started blaming me for ignoring his needs after he already expressed them and that he forgot to do what I asked him and I’d cost him so much. Now us telling to come back home because he misses his daughter.
So do you hate this guy as much as I do? HOO BOY. Let’s see how Reddit felt.
Yeah. What a f*cking jerk.
