A story on the AITA subreddit entitled ‘AITA for telling my husband he knew what he was signing up for’ has left Reddit users feeling bad for the husband and predicting the OP’s future.
Reddit is a great place for fans to talk about their favorite shows, movies, and music. However, it is also a place for people to vent about the hardships they are presently facing in their lives. Sometimes users also post their family or relationship drama on subreddits with AITA aka Am I the A**hole. They seek help from the kind and not-so-kind strangers of the internet. One such Reddit user’s story has gone viral with many weighing in on her predicament, others predicting how her future might turn out.
‘AITA for telling my husband he knew what he was signing up for’ background explained
While the original post has been deleted from the AITA subreddit, the‘AITA for telling my husband he knew what he was signing up for’ story has since appeared on other subreddits. It has now appeared on r/BestofReddit’sUpdates.
It sees a 36-year-old female sharing how her closeness with her childhood friend Anna (fake name) has led to troubles in her marriage with her husband, 38 (M). The OP has been friends with Anna since kindergarten. They went to the same college and even bought a house together. The two have been living together for five years.
Four years ago the OP met her now husband, Rob (fake name). The two hit it off and get married. After deliberating about their future together, Rob moves in with the OP and her friend in their house together.
Husband is uncomfortable
After the OP gets married, her husband voices his discomfort about her relationship with Anna.
“I’m very close with Anna and there are no filters when we talk together. We have sleepovers sometimes and go out on little “dates” but that’s how we’ve always been” the OP says.
She says her husband never voiced his concern about her relationship with Anna in four years of knowing them. The OP feels he is just now expressing his feelings because she recently told him how Anna confessed feelings towards the OP in the past. But an upset OP simply tells him: “This is what he (the husband) signed up for and if he had a problem with it then he should’ve told me years ago.”
OP claims she loves her husband but cannot chuck Anna out of her life just because her husband is “insecure.” The husband later explains to the OP how he fears she might leave him for Anna due to their closeness.
OP comes into question after an added confession
While the story seems to make sense until this point, the OP reveals a few more things that creates confusion.
She reveals when Anna first confessed her love for the OP, they sat down and talked.
“I expressed to her that I saw her like a sister and was absolutely not interested in anything more” OP says.
Things became awkward for a while between them before they got back to normal. “Our friendship was strained for a bit but returned to the sister type of bond again,” she says. She also states that Anna has never mad any “romantic moves” towards her.
A commenter asked why the OP didn’t just marry her friend if they shared such a deep commitment.However, her response to this raised many suspicions.
“I was afraid, my family is Jamaican and I knew I would instantly get disowned. I do love her but I never viewed a gay marriage as anything possible for us.”
She further says after the confession they decided if they couldn’t have each other they could at least stay by each other’s side. To many readers, it implied that she would have chosen that route had there not been cultural obstacles in her way.
Many felt empathetic toward the husband while others talked about how the OP may not have realized something about her sexuality.
Reddit user’s comment
“He damn well didn’t know what he was signing up for, though he perhaps should have backed out when he heard the so-called explanation,” one commenter stated.
Some hoped the husband finds out how the OP was considering a relationship with Anna and leaves her for a healthier relationship.
One user predicted what the future would be. “One day, it is going to get to the “f**k it” stage in life and be with Anna. Sooner is better than later so the husband can be free to live a life more suited to him,” they wrote.
“I don’t think OOP realizes consciously that she’s bi/pan/gay,” another person wrote.
