    AITAH for threatening to divorce my husband over MrBeast?

    I (f24) am seriously at my wits end. My husband (m26) is partially deaf from DJing in his teens/early 20s, so he needs things louder to hear them. But
  • 03
    what I dont get is why that has to mean I'm involuntarily listening to MrBeast yelling about bying. himself alive or giving away $10k
  • 04
    to strangers at 9am on a Sunday. He watches MrBeast videos on his phone at like 95-100% volume. Not even joking. He'll put a video
  • 05
    on while he's in the shower, phone just blasting on the bathroom counter, and I can hear it clearly from 2 floors down. And
  • 06
    it's always MrBeast. Not different youtubers. Just him. Constantly. Same loud vibe, same chaotic energy, every day.
  • 07
    I've asked him to wear headphones. He "doesn't like them". I suggested subtitles. He "doesn't want to read while
  • 08
    relaxing". I even bought a small bluetooth speaker thinking maybe it'd help if the sound was directional or just a bit better
  • 09
    quality. Nope. Says he prefers it from the phone speaker. After the third time this week I got woken up by "LAST TO LEAVE THE CIRCLE WINS $500,000!!!"

    echoing through the walls. I kinda snapped and said, half joking, "If I hear one more MrBeast video at full volume I'm filing for divorce."

    Now he's sulking, saying I don't respect his hobbies or his hearing issues. But honestly... it's not just the
  • 13
    volume. It's the content. I think it's childish. He's almost 30. Why is a grown man obsessed with videos made for 14 yr olds with zero attention span??
  • 14
    I love him, but I just want peace and quiet in my own home. I'm tired of feeling like I live inside a YouTube thumbnail. AITAH???

    Keine-Katze NTA, girl you are 24 don't spend your life with him if he already doesn't consider your needs
  • 16
    blairfoxyer NTA. Needing higher volume for hearing is one thing. but blasting YouTube videos all day with no compromise is
  • 17
    inconsiderate. You asked nicely, tried solutions, and he refused all of them. It's not about MrBeast it's about basic respect
  • 18
    Beneficial-Ball8375 Now he's sulking, saying I don't respect his hobbies or his hearing issues. WTH
  • 19
    the_noi he's also not respecting YOUR hearing issues.
  • 20
    cynrtst I have hearing aids and I honestly prefer using them to listen to content. He needs to get checked and take care of his medical needs. And use them.

    RadiantRebelElla NTA. Respect goes both ways. He needs to respect your ears as much as you respect his interests. Buy him a hearing aid instead of divorce papers though
  • 22
    Rmanager Being upset at his behavior is completely reasonable. "Joking" about divorce is not. Once that is out there, you can't take it back.
  • 23
    massachusettsmama NTA. But tell him he needs to go to an audiologist. He probably needs hearing aids.
  • 24
    BeanBreak The real conversation should maybe be about him seeing a doctor and getting hearing. aids before he further damages his ears AND yours
