    Font - My MIL doesn't like me much, I don't think. I was visiting her for the holidays and she was showing me a photo book of pictures of my husband.

    Font - I feel like she doesn't care for me and purposely looks for things to make me insecure.

    Font - She showed me a page with a couple pictures of my husband and other girls. All very coupley photos, a prom photo, a picture of him kissing a lady, and a picture of him on a boat with a different lady in his lap.

  • 06
    Font - As a joke, I said "Smash" pointing at one of the pictures. Then at another "Pass" and at another "Smash" And she was like "What?"
  • 07
    Font - And I was like "Wait what was the game? Smash or pass?" And she again goes "What" all confused.
  • 08
    Font - I said "Oh were we not playing smash or pass?" She asks what that is, and I said "Oh, it's a game where you decide if people are hot! Like if you think they're hot enough you'd sleep with them, you say "smash" and otherwise you say "pass". I figured that's what you were going for talking about how hot this chick is!"

    Font - She said that she didn't understand, and I was like "Come on, it's fun!" She said that it was really inappropriate of me, and I said it was just a bit of fun.

    Font - She got frustrated and asked if I was serious. I said 'Oh not literally, like I'm not trying to actually sleep with anyone! I thought we were just talking about who's hottest!"

    Font - She said that was really wrong of me and I said that I thought she was trying to gossip about which of his exes were hot and which are not, from what she said.
  • 12
    Font - She slammed the photo book shut and called me childish. Which is fair, like I'd kinda stolen the joke from a tik tok after all.. AITA for being obnoxious about my MIL showing me pictures of his exes?

    Font - OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole: My MIL was trying to show me pictures of my husband's exes. I was obnoxious on purpose and acted like I thought she was trying to play smash or pass. It was childish and I did it knowing it would bother her. That might make me the asshole.
