Hi, I hope this is ok to ask about. My fiancée had never read the Harry Potter books or seen the movies except one (and she just remembered a few scenes), so for her birthday I had gotten her a complete set of the Harry Potter books. Two days ago she finished the Half Blood Prince, when she was talking about it with me she was sad about Dumbledore and cussed out Snape. I just said "Keep an open mind about him". That’s it. I didn’t give anything else away (if even this can be said to give anything away). She seemed intrigued and that was that.
Last night she told me it was wrong of me to have said what I did and that I spoiled it for her. I asked her how , I didn’t say anything about what happens, she said she now knows he’s a good guy. I was in a difficult position because I had to talk without giving anything away but I just said that she’s overthinking what I said, all I said was keep an open mind about everything, which is just what you should do when reading. She just shook her head and seemed disappointed. AITA here?? I had responded in a very neutral way to her wanting to discuss it with me, I didn’t give anything away.
YTA – you gave her a major spoiler.
Yes you are 1,000% the asshole. Seriously, that’s something that’s unveiled books and books from now. You sort of took away the experience of hating on the guy only to have to reevaluate your entire preconceived notion!
God! I hate book spoilers!!!!!!!
YTA…. That is a massive spoiler and you know it… Please do not pretend otherwise, in the future just keep quiet.
YTA. “I had to talk…” No you didn’t.
