A woman flipped out after she discovered her husband was secretly recording her conversations with friends.
She went on Reddit’s “Am I the A******? (AITA)” forum to get help. While having a girls’ night with friends, she found a hidden device near her TV. She quickly realized her husband was recording her. When she asked him about it, he blamed her.
“I told my husband I was planning on having a girls’ night in (GNI),” she said. “He initially was like, ‘No, not here…get a hotel or something.’ I said I couldn’t afford a hotel [and there’s] no need for a hotel. He asked if he could join us if he’s going to allow it, but I said no, this isn’t how GNIs work. He eventually agreed to let me have it and even said he’d go out so my friends could be comfortable.”
“I invited the girls over, and most of them had a lot of heavy venting to do. At some point, things got a bit emotionally charged, and there was crying, lots of it. When I went to turn the TV on, I spotted a small device tucked on the side. I took a look and found that it was actually a voice recording device. I was in disbelief. I knew my husband put it in there to listen to our private talk, which felt highly violating.”
She immediately showed her friends the device and decided to confront her husband about it.
“I showed them the device, called my husband to get him to get home and confronted him right there in front of the girls. I flipped out and called him out, then said he was feeling curious to know about what we were talking about and wanted to make sure we weren’t ‘trash-talking’ about him specifically. The event was cut short, and the girls left.”
“I kept lashing out at him for ruining the night and possibly my relationship and trust with my friends,” she explained. “I said that not only did he violate my privacy but my friends’ as well. He argued that it was no big deal, that I should’ve let him join us if we ‘had nothing to hide,’ and that this was ON THEM for opening up about private matters, to begin with. He went on to talk about how I humiliated him to call him out in front of my friends. I told him they deserved to know who he really is after what he’s done.”
Redditors thought the husband seriously crossed a line.
“Leave him. He does not respect you,” a person said.
“Don’t think for one second that there isn’t any other technologically sketchy s*** he helped himself to do without you knowing. If my husband did this, it’s grounds for divorce,” someone commented.
“He is extremely gaslighting you,” another wrote.
