AIO by asking my gf to take down a tweet I found to be disrespectful/inappropriate?
My(24M) girlfriend(24F) and I have together for a little over a year. I wouldn’t call her a Twitter addict but she is on that app a lot. I follow her on Twitter so we can send each other things, and I see her tweets send her a like whatever. She post some things that are kinda wild but they’re jokes and usually they’re funny so Idrc.
She has been watching that Love Island show this season, I tried to watch it with her but this shit just seems so ridiculous, and I usually love terrible reality TV, but I didn’t find it all that interesting, so she’s been watching it with her girlfriends instead. She’s been tweeting about it and some of the tweets are pretty eyebrow raising, but nothing I’d say anything to her about.
However yesterday she posted about someone who was appeared on the show today and it made me very uncomfortable. The tweet was about how attractive the guy is, and I’m not insecure or anything and I can acknowledge the guy looks good, and at this point no problem, I’m not gonna get mad. But then she found out the guy was from our area and she tweeted something along the lines of “if they sent me in there with him I would’ve came out pregnant”.
So I felt like this was too far, like saying he’s hot is one thing but posting about how she wants to fuck him is another and it felt crazy disrespectful. I know I’m not the most attractive man in the world, and I’m really punching above my weight class when it comes to my girlfriend, but it just doesn’t feel good to me for her to broadcast out how bad she wants to fuck some guy on TV. This to me is especially disrespectful cause the guy is supposedly from Miami, and we are in Miami, it’s not like this is some far away celebrity, this is just a regular guy that lives in our city.
So I told her today that I didn’t like it and I thought she should take it down as it was disrespectful to me as a man and disrespectful to our relationship. She took it down, but she said I was being insecure and that she was just joking. I told her that it didn’t feel like a joke since this guy is actually kinda attainable for her since he lives at least in our city and will likely be coming back to our city. She got upset, told me I was being overdramatic about it and I was just being insecure over a joke. She also said that I was being “weirdly controlling to do this over a dumb tweet” We kinda got into an argument and she said she doesn’t feel about arguing about this and said she’s not gonna talk to me about it anymore before saying she’s gonna post what she wants and if I don’t like it stop looking at her Twitter.
AITA?
