This husband insisted that his wife keep their house clean at all times so that he could drop in unannounced with friends and coworkers without feeling embarrassed, a position that has painted him as a villain in the internet's eyes.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit by the husband, u/Throwawaynes767 who used a throwaway account to shield their identity. The thread was posted with the title "AITA for telling my wife that it was embarrassing that the house was a mess when I had guests over?"

Commenters were outraged at the poster's actions and let him have it in their responses.

"YTA," replied SpookyArmadillo. "You basically sprung this upon her, didn't check to see if she happened to see the one (1) text where you just casually decided to spontaneously bring home people that day, and showed literally zero care that she wasn't feeling well. SAHM stands for stay-at-home mom, not stay-at-home maid. Her priority is the children. Not to be on call to make the house look unrealistically tidy in an hour's time."
