AITAH for asking my boyfriend to close the bathroom door?
I M54 live in a one-bedroom condo where my boyfriend M45 sometimes stays the night. We’ve been together for 8 years.
This evening he was using the bathroom with the door open, and I could smell it from the bedroom. I asked him (pretty calmly) if he could close the door when he goes, just because the smell carries in a small space.
He got really defensive and said I was making him feel “less than” and unwelcome, and acted like I was out of line for even bringing it up. He made me feel like I was crazy for asking something like that
I didn’t expect an argument as a reaction. If the situation were reversed and my partner said something like that to me, I’d just apologize and shut the door.
Now I’m second guessing myself because of how strongly he reacted. AITAH?
TL;DR: I asked my boyfriend to close the bathroom door because the smell was carrying, and he got upset and said I made him feel unwelcome. AITAH?
