    Font - about a month later she filed for divorce, and her husband called me to let me know. He said that I caused her to start thinking like "a snowflake" and that if I don't believe in traditional relationships I should keep it to myself. I asked what he was talking about. Apparently what I said made her reconsider the relationship and she decided she wanted to be with someone who wasn't such a man child. My mom, grandma, and other aunts all think that l'm an asshole for breaking up a "wonderfu

    Font - SimplySam4210 · 8h Asshole Aficionado [13] HAHA. NTA in the slightest. She already had these thoughts in her head. You just confirmed them. And honestly, your confirmation was what she was looking for. I'll never forget the moment when I was 24 years old and my father demanded that my mother get him some iced tea.

    Font - nanananannooo • 9h NTA. Your aunt clearly wasn't happy in her marriage, and you explained your arrangement with your boyfriend and your views.
