    Font - Y r/AmItheAsshole · Posted by u/fritofiend 22 hours ago AITA for Not Allowing my GF to have Dangerously Hot Showers? Asshole I have been dating my gf for 8 months. Things have been going so well that when she started a project based in my part of the city, she decided to stay at my place temporarily rather than do the daily commute. I noticed that when she showers, she has the water so hot that steam billows from the bathroom when she opens the door. It leaves everything in the bathroom w

    Font - I have been telling her to use the dehumidifier in the bathroom as she showers. She told me that she showers with the window open and turns it on afterwards because the air was too humid for the dehumidifier. I put my foot down and told her it wasn't optional, and she ended up breaking the dehumidifier with the steam. I told her that enough was enough, and that if there's no dehumidifier then she would have to shower at a normal temperature like everyone else does. When she comes out of t

    Font - Well, last week I had enough of it. I took the lock off the bathroom door. (The toilet is in a separate room so there is still complete privacy when using the toilet btw.) Now she can't steam out my entire bathroom without me knowing. I knock before entering and make sure it's not too steamy in the bathroom and that the temperature of the water is normal. She hasn't said anything about it, but since I did that, her mood has been low with me. She's started spending weekends at her place an

Now I'm surprise pikachu because she's slowly moving out and doesn't want to put up with my controlling behavior anymore. AITA?" In case you couldn't gather it by this point... yea. YTA.

She EXPLICITLY TOLD YOU the steam would break the humidifier. But you put your foot down and what a surprise, it's ft king broken. After she told you it would be. 3. You removed the lock to bust in on her in the f king shower to control her water temperature. I don't get how you're not seeing how creepy and controlling that is. I hope she breaks up

    Rectangle - Some_Anteater_5077 · 22 hr. ago This has GOT TO BE A JOKE. Yta. Hot showers unclog your nose when you have allergies. We know how hot it can be without it hurting. Hot showers HELP with body aches. YTA

Instead you chose to act like a controlling parent, and now it doesn't look like you'll have a girlfriend for much longer.

    Font - QuackLikeMe · 22 hr. ago Colo-rectal Surgeon [46] YTA Usually I say "your place, your rules." But you're literally trying to dictate how she is allowed to shower to the point that you took the lock off the bathroom door! She's doing the right thing by not staying at your place so much anymore, and moving her things back to her own place.
