Some men are apparently so deranged that they can’t stand the thought of another man seeing their girlfriend naked during a medical emergency. They think that bodies are objects subject to ownership and that their own ego issues matter more than the health of their partner.
Under no circumstance is it okay to be angry at your girlfriend for fainting in the shower and being helped by a male friend — which is what Redditors are aggressively telling one misogynistic OP.
“My(25M) girl Lydia(23F), lives with a roommate who has a boyfriend, Jeff. We gathered at their place last Friday for pizza. After a while Jeff asks Lydia if she is still scared of being here alone the nights the roommate goes over to his place and I can’t come. Lydia has always had trouble with being alone at night and most nights I stay on facetime with her till she falls asleep so she feels safer. The roommate laughs and says that if she hears a noise in the bathroom at least it will be a ghost and not her locked in passed out. Lydia just mouths ‘explain later’ to me,” the OP writes.
“When we get to Lydia’s room I ask her to explain and she tells me that this afternoon she wasn’t feeling good and ended up fainting in the shower, so Jeff had to break to door to roommate get in and help her. She said that she already felt better and didn’t wanted to tell me because I was going to be worried about nothing. I said that it wasn’t nothing if she had fainted and that I should be aware of these things to help her. She said that now it would be just a funny story about how Jeff broke the door and roommate had to cover her with a towel so they could come to the rescue of her naked body.”
“That moment I saw red. I asked if Jeff had seen her naked and she said she couldn’t be sure since she was unconscious but roommate said that he stood out of the bathroom until she was covered. I asked if Lydia thought it was fair to me not to know that another guy had seen her naked and she said he didn’t actually saw her naked and that it shouldn’t matter since he was only helping. I shouted that she just said that she was unconscious and couldn’t know if he saw her. She told me to be quiet or they would hear me and I shouted that I didn’t care, that a man just saw my gf body’s and I had a right to be mad.”
Then Jeff and the roommate came into the room and explained that he just broke the lock and waited outside while the roommate went in. The OP said he didn’t believe him. The roommate added that the situation was not embarrassing, and that they needed to take proper care of Lydia. The OP said that “if she was a cuckold I wouldn’t be.” Then the OP stormed out.
Over the weekend, Lydia had to go to the hospital because she didn’t feel well. Jeff and the roommate told the OP he couldn’t see her. The OP still thinks he was right and not a complete misogynist creep who treats his girlfriend as an object. Dude, you need to rethink your entire approach to and conception of women — and Redditors agree.
“YTA. You don’t f*cking own her body. You don’t have a right to be mad. You’re way out of line. Grow the f*ck up,” said EvilGreebo.
“Hey OP you spelled Ex-Girlfriend wrong. She probably had to be hospitalized from tripping over all the red flags you dropped. The roommate and her man are right you don’t deserve her. Until you grow up you don’t deserve anybody,” said nolan358.
“As soon as he referred to her as My Girl in the opening line I knew he was TA. It was all downhill from there. And yep, I was right, YTA. I’m wondering if he plans on punching out the male hospital staff who will probably see her body while treating her, because his ego is more important than her health, clearly,” noted Lilitu9Tails.
“I can’t believe the naked part is what OP took from the story. What a misogynistic asshole. He would rather his gf (ex soon, I hope) remain passed out in the bathroom rather than another man help her if the consequence is that the other guy sees her naked. What a disgusting human. YTA. Good on Jeff and the roommate for protecting OP’s gf from his inappropriate behaviour and creepy possessiveness,” observed jkristel.
“Cuckold? Are you fucking serious? What kind of petty bs is that? Damn you are way too immature to be in a relationship,” said klingonjargon.
