'AITA for asking my boyfriend to talk nicely to his mom after an argument about his brother?'

Having a caring partner is a blessing that many people don't understand. They often treat their partner harshly if they try to correct them for some mistake. Such behavior often tends to make a relationship weak no matter how strong the bond is.

Recently, a woman on Reddit's popular 'Am I the A*****e' forum shared that she asked her boyfriend to talk politely to his mother after an argument over his brother.

Woman asks her boyfriend to talk politely to his mother

The woman wrote in the AITA forum that she and her boyfriend live together in the same apartment complex with his mom and they also share a carport.

She added that her boyfriend's mom has been having issues because her boyfriend is supposed to keep his belongings covered in the carport as the management doesn’t want it out.

"This time around it was his brother who also lives with us who had his stuff out and his mom called my boyfriend upset that stuff was out after asking them many times to keep it covered," she wrote in the post.

The woman added that during a phone call, her boyfriend listened to his mom, who was upset and when it was his turn to talk he replied with attitude - "Are you done??? Are you done??? That’s my brother’s fault not mine. Why don’t you call him???" and then hung up on her.

"After the call I asked my boyfriend 'Can you please talk to your mom nicer?' and then all hell broke loose", she added.

The woman continued on the post that she understands his frustrations of being accused but he didn’t have to give his mother attitude and could have said the same thing more healthily.

She wrote that he could have said: "Okay mom, I hear you but this isn’t my fault the stuff isn’t covered. It’s not mine this time so please go call my brother instead."

The woman further mentioned that he got triggered by her question, got up, stood in front of her, and started yelling about how his mom was wrong and should have called his brother instead of him, and how she doesn’t defend him when he is right.

She wrote, "When I tried to explain that I just wanted him to talk to his mom in a nicer tone he wouldn’t have it, got more upset, said I never have his back, and told me to move out."

The woman added, "I understand maybe he was triggered and it wasn’t the right time for me to ask but I feel he took it to a level 10x worse when all he could have said was 'Not right now. I’m not in the mood to talk about being nicer to my mom'."

She concluded the post and wrote, "AITA for asking him to talk nicer to his mom?"

Internet sides with woman who made AITA post

Many people on the internet sided with the woman who made the AITA post and mentioned that she asked her boyfriend to talk politely to his mother after an argument over his brother.

A user commented on the post, "NTA. Find a better boyfriend. His anger issues will eventually land on you."

Another person added, "NTA. Huge red flag. Dude has no emotional regulation. Guys like this usually grow around other people who normalize anger. He did you a favor. STAY AWAY."

A user also wrote, "NTA, if he cant handle being told to speak in a nicer tone/communicate in a healthy way, then that is his problem that he should work on."

While one mentioned, "NTA. Please understand how he treats his mom is showing you a little taste of what’s in store for you."
