She kept a secret for her stepdaughter—now her husband isn’t speaking to either of them. Reddit’s top comment says she’s NTA, but is protecting a teen’s privacy worth destroying the trust in her relationship?
In this Reddit r/AmItheAsshole story, a 39-year-old woman has been living with her partner and his two daughters for two years. When 14-year-old Laura confides in her about a harmless crush on a classmate, she keeps the secret. But when her partner finds out, he blows up, ignores his daughter, and accuses his wife of undermining his authority. The Reddit community overwhelmingly sides with her, calling her partner’s reaction abusive and immature.
What would you do? Comment NTA if she was right to keep the secret, or YTA if she should have told her partner. Let us know in the comments below!
