I Want My Wife TO Cut Off Her Best Friend After Her Accusation Against Me r/Relationships

It's more common then you think... girl talk is often inappropriate. They mock their partners sexual habits or body with eachother and don't think it's a big deal. Modesty doesn't real exist with many modern women

[@TheBlueDsc]

That commenter telling OP to never interact with his wife's friends in any way if she's not there is absolutely wild. Like, "yeah, box yourself away in shame if your wife isn't there!". That is absolutely not a reasonable suggestion to make. Also the Wife is kind of an AH for sharing her husband's fetish with a friend without permission. That just isn't something you do. That said, her line at the end for Kate's BS was absolute gold.

Women falsely accuse men of sexual assault with frightening regularity. They know they have the power to do it and they know they'll be instantly believed with no questions asked. As a gay man, I pity straight men having to take that risk literally every single time they're alone with or even speak to a woman.

At first I thought Kate was one of those “looking out for my girlfriends” type of friend but nope, she just likes to stir up drama. Glad that OP’s wife came to her senses and distanced herself.

The person who sits right by the plane window has control over how far it's open is what I've always been told. I'm also the type of person who reflexively bites when someone reaches across my face due to past trauma in my first marriage.

[@tfrtrouble]

I mean if the sun is shining in other people's eyes (not the case here since it was noon) then it would be pretty shitty not to close it when asked. Like one commenter, I'm a nervous flyer and hate having the shade down, but if the sun is shining in people's eyes, I will try to hold up a book or somethign and otherwise close it. However, you of course ask the person if they would mind closing it; you don't just reach over.

[@venusbleu5764]

Wow. My friends absolutely do not and would not ever know about my husband's kinks let alone blatantly kinda throwing it in his face. OP's wife is a little spineless and Kate is bitterly weird.

Story 1: I have never gone shopping with a male coworker for clothes, except my gay friend after knowing him for YEARS. I think Kate has inappropriate relationships with people and then blames then when things happen that cross lines. Something she would accept is a part of the risk of not maintaining normal boundaries with folks.

[@fluidwolf]

Once on a shorter flight, i had the man in front of me hang his hands back over the seat. he almost touched my food and i tried to tell him to stop, but he didnt. i also had a rally bad cough (was before covid) so i just "wet coughed" at his hands, and those hands were gone real quick and didnt come back over again. some people and their audacity

Plane drama: My mom and I sat behind this absolutely unhinged woman for 5 hours. She spoke to her neighbor in very rapid Spanish the entire time. Her poor neighbor apparently only understood a little of what she was saying. Which she should be grateful for because she was going on these delusional tangents about the cartel and how important she is. Plotting her next “target” then switched to how Christmas is so hard with family and cooking. She proceeded like that the entire trip. I only caught bits and pieces while my mother sat in absolute horror. She kept asking me to start recording every so often. We finally picked up that she’s just someone’s mom suffering from a mental illness and her son was waiting to pick her up so she’d get home safely. Idk WHO thought it was a good idea to let her fly alone.

[@floraposteschild4184]

That is just appalling. And who would have paid the price if she had become threatening? You and your fellow passengers. I'm going to bet son didn't tell the airline about her condition, because it sounds like she needed a companion and medication.

Almost like she has zero respect for OPs feelings or opinions. They don't become relevant until they effect her negatively (looking like shit of reddit) or she is just that thoughtless

[@EluneAnzu]

For the "hair flip" thing mentioned in story 2 where they flip it over the back of the seat my favorite petty revenge for that I've heard was the one post where someone was doing that to OP's kid and the OP said (intentionally loud enough for the hair flipper to hear) that they wanted to swap seats with their kid so they could be close to the "pretty hair", cue the person taking their hair back over the seat because they didn't want to risk the OP either being a creep and "enjoying" the hair or the OP doing something like sticking gum in it.

[@MsAnonymous1981]

Kate is either: trying to break them up to get with the wife, or, trying to break them up to get with the husband. Not sure how she thinks either would be interested, though. I bet husband. He didn't respond the way she wanted so she tells wife to get him in trouble... classic.

Airplane drama: Several years, I flew across the US for my cousin’s wedding. During the flight, someone opened a bottle of nail polish! It really smelled and the headache I had been fighting off morphed into a full migraine. Fortunately the bottle was eventually closed, but i had left my migraine medicine at home. By the time I got to my destination, I was light and sound sensitive and wearing my sunglasses to reduce the pain. I took some painkillers and fortunately felt human again in the morning!

[@kathleenmcfarlane2555]

Story 2: I'm a window seat person and I always keep the window open. Once the person behind me tried to close the window and I immediately reopened it and said loudly that I wanted the window open which is why I picked a window seat.

[@tfrtrouble]

Same (nervous flyer, hate not being able to see out) BUT it would be a real AH thing to do if someone asked you to close it because the sun was shining in their eyes (e.g. morning or evening) and you didn't. And I've seen flight attendants insist people close them in those cases. Consideration goes both ways.

[@kathleenmcfarlane2555]

@@tfrtrouble that's why sleep masks were invented. If you pay for the privilege of a window seat, then you should get full use of that seat and all that comes with it.

[@tfrtrouble]

​@@kathleenmcfarlane2555 So you want everyone in the row to wear sleep masks during the day (when they don't need to sleep) just so you can look at the clouds? I don't mean when there is daylight, I mean when the sun is actually shining directly in people's eyes blinding them. Also I don't know how it works in your part of the world but here you don't pay more for a window seat and it doesn't give you special "privilege" to be an AH to the other travelers. We are all in the situation together, and of course as the person closest to the window, the window person has control of the blind but they are a complete AH if they refuse to close it when a low sun is blinding fellow passengers, and I've seen flight attendants agree and insist.

[@tfrtrouble]

@@kathleenmcfarlane2555 Wow you think a whole row of people should wear sleep masks in the middle of the day while awake because you think your ticket (which costs the same as non-window seats) gives you the "privilege" to be entitled and not even close the shade if the sun is shining directly in people's eyes, blinding them? Are you sure it's Kathleen and not Karen?

[@tfrtrouble]

@@kathleenmcfarlane2555 You realise there is no actual contract that says that people in window seats have the right to set the shade position? You ticket specifies a seat by the window; it says nothing about use of the window shade. It's only etiquette that says that under normal circumstances, people in the window seat get to decide. The same etiquette that say you close it if the sun is shining in people's eyes. If the second etiquette rule doesn't hold, there is no reason the first should either.

​​@@sakatababa Lunashadow is right. It took hounds upon hundreds of people to tell the wife that, what she did, was wrong and she still only started to take active measures (i.e. cutting her "friend" out) after said "friend" started to, even more blatantly, try and sabotaged their relationship. There is: "my friend told me you like nudes from a friend of mine, what is that all about" and then there is: "my friend told me multiple times that there was something wrong and, whilst we haven't found anything weird on your part, I am still partially blaming you and continue to listen to my friend!" It's nice that the "friend" is out of the picture now, but the "friend" isn't the problem, she was only the symptom exacerbating the problem. No, the real problem here was wife's lack of understanding of what is and isn't acceptable private info to share (the fetish), without the consent of the person that you shared said info about (OP did not consent to that info being shared), and the fact that she repeatedly choose the "friend" over OP. Yes, even at the end where she continued to defend the "friend" ("She probably wanted to send that photo to me") and continued to stay in contact with the same person that repeatedly tried to ruin her marriage (until she couldn't anymore because the "friend" got to obvious with her attempts). They need to find a way to effectively communicate (something like: "my friend said this but before I jump to any conclusions I would like to hear what you have to say about it") and boundaries ("what is acceptable to share without consent of you and what isn't") if they don't figure that out I see this marriage drive into the nearest wall ths next time a "friend" of wife comes along!

This is 5am so many people like to catch a little more sleep, but I can’t, so I read on my iPad. This lady does the ‘put the hair over the seat’ and it always block my screen because she also puts the seat as low as possible.

I liked to think they resorted to physical attacks because they couldn’t compete verbally.

[@Snowshowslow]

The only legitimate beef I think you can have over plane windows is over those that don't line up with the seats (so where two people in window seats are adjacent). Otherwise, it's very clear who is in control of the shade, IMO. Although of course you can ask politely, especially for night flights.

[@tfrtrouble]

I mean it is clear who ultimately has control of the shade; the airline crew. Under normal circumstances, anyone with a request should politely ask the window person and they can refuse but should try to be considerate if it is a genuine need (e.g. person has a migraine). However, there are times when they flight crew will overrule everyone, e.g. shades open for takeoff and landing, and I've also seen flight attendants insist on it being closed when the sun was shining directly in people's eyes and some AH thought the whole row should suffer for him to have a nice view. I'm a nervous flyer and hate closed shades, but even I can tell there are times when it's the right thing to do.

Story 1: Kate is the veru definition of a homewrecker! She doesn't have a SO, so she tries to ruin her best friend's relationship. Interesting how everyone else in the friend group immediately jumped at the chance to unfriend Kate. Why didn't one of them do so before?

Flashing the light in her eyes is wrong as 2 left shoes. People have migraines and other neurological issues that are exacerbated by light. As someone with migraines I have to call that out as AH behavior. But, still have to go NTA because the other person was more egregious

[@veezopolis]

She could have. Spoken. To him like an adult

“Sorted him out” is a fabulous euphemism OMFG! 😭😭😭😭 The wife was annoying me, but Idk the mental issues at play, so I tried not to get too annoyed. She redeemed herself with this line tho. 😂🤣

[@lee02jepson]

Story 1- his wifes best friend? A liar who is actively trying to destroy your relationship! Oh boy she really has to give her head a shake. She should back up her husband + dump her as a friend. Typing this as I listen + heard she was dumped by all her friends. Good, but she should of done it way before.

S1) Kate sounds like a drama llama. Someone who likes stirring up trouble cause they get some weird high off of. Your wife had no business sharing anything concerning your intimate relationship without consent. You're wife is the worse. It also sounds like she likes leading people on to see what she can get out of them and if she can ruin someone's life she'd do it. Seeing as she both knows OP and the wife she's found a what she considers an easy target. OP's wife must be just so gullable. Odds are Kate may have been obsessed with the fact that OP wasn't easy to sway/ interested in her and wasn't happy about it so decided to start drama. She was upset she couldn't boundary stomp. Makes me wonder just how much bs she loved talking that wasn't true.

I think the wife really wanted this to be a misunderstanding due to her friendship. When she realized it wasn't a misunderstanding, she went nuclear. Her response to the photo was epic.

Story 1 - Respect. This is central to what a man needs to feel from his wife. I do not think your wife knows this or does not care. OP's wife has crossed boundaries and could care less how much he is disrespected by her friend and HERSELF. OP needs to nip this in the bud NOW!!

[@keishaizawesome2836]

Kate is exhausting

Story 2: AND THEN EVERYBODY CLAPPED

[@aduckofsomesort]

“Your wife’s friends” 0P was friends with her too. They had a separate relationship prior.

I've only had "Plane Drama" once in so far as I heard the frightening "Is there a doctor on this flight!?" when a passenger passed out or something. Flight attendants were rushing up and down the aisle and a doctor indeed got out of his seat and came back. Normally for me, my interactions, if there are any, are pleasant. Despite being an introvert, and artist, I've discovered that drawing in my sketchbook on a plane makes for a nice invitation to converse. I showed a guy next to me how I was drawing a character I named "Oliviae the Brave" and for a minute he was like "I think I remember that character" before I clarified she's my own invention. Suddenly he turned to his friend across the aisle and says "Hey! She works for Marvel!" I'm like "I do?"

[@heathercontois4501]

Your final comments on Story 2--I honestly think people doing that is a mix of rage bait and them thinking no one will actually do anything.

[@clarissagafoor5222]

OP is his own worst enemy. That conversation he and Kate had was highly inappropriate given who he was talking to. He needs to learn about `self-defense` - in terms of suitable words around certain people!

[@heidifruchtl354]

The plane story: ok, this made me giggle. When my husband and I were doing the wedding planning, I booked a time to taste cakes. It was pretty early in the morning. He bounced all of the way to the bakery, doing a little jingle, which went: we're having cake for breakfast! On repeat. I just giggled the entire drive. The morning we flew to cancun for our honeymoon, he switched to singing: we're going to Mexico! I have a picture of him grinning from ear to ear from happiness and excitement. He let me have the window seat and we both looked out to see the new place we were going to explore.

Story 1: Holy shit!!!! Kate. Pahahahahaahahahaahhaah!!! The wife is hilarious. I'm dead.

[@NoOne-fo1di]

After the 3rd time of telling a 20 something girl to stop draping her hair over the back seat, politely I might add, and she kept doing it I took it as her doing it intentionally. Looking back I feel a bit embarrassed over my actions but I'll just say my nose had alot fewer boogers than her hair did after the flight. I considered putting gum in her hair but knew that was a bit too far

[@joeschmo622]

I would've gotten The Kate a pair of those pull-on/pull-over rubber boots (Totes?) that you slip over dress shoes when it's all snowy out and you don't want them to get ruined. Or forensic/hospital slip-on booties. "Issue" them to her as soon as she enters.

[@OZARKMOON1960]

#1 - There are folks like us to love to listen when the tea is spilled. Then there are people like Kate who are not happy unless they are fomenting hate, discontent and big drama all around them while pretending to be innocent. Those are the snakes in our garden of petty drama - possibly ones that need either a mongoose or a garden spade. Glad she is out of OP's life - and for god's sake, OP, tell your wife to STOP sharing so damn much about your intimate life. Those kinds of details we don't need!
