AITA
My wife and I go to the casino every now and again and play slot machines together. Well recently I downloaded a slot machine game on my phone for passing the time. It is not real money, but does have some slots on there my wife and I play together at the casino. She is upset because I am playing the slot machine games on my tablet. She says it makes her feel like im playing "our games" without her. We got into an argument because I told her I felt like she was using her "feelings" to control what I was doing. AITA for downloading and playing the slot video games for fun on my own?
It sounds like she’s a little too sensitive about it. You’re just playing a game on your tablet, not doing anything to purposely exclude her. Maybe talk about how you can both have fun with your hobbies without causing tension.
NAH. Someone telling you how they feel isn’t always control.
ESH
It sounds like this is something meaningful to her. She isn’t upset that you’re having a good time, she is upset because she feels like something she shares with you isn’t shared anymore.
She sucks for not just letting you enjoy yourself, you suck for not recognizing it as something that’s important to her.
You’re both trying to control each other via feelings. She is trying to get her way by posing it as something upsetting to her, you are trying to get yours by posing her feelings as being weaponized when in reality they are just her feelings. Demanding that someone feel something different because what they feel is “wrong” leads to nothing but the loss of genuine communication.
ESH this is not a healthy sign for a relationship from either of you.
This is such a reddit answer lmao
Every relationship is terrible and should be ended obviously.
NTA. This is a very strange thing for her to get pouty about.
It is not about the slots at all. Does she tend to get pouty whenever she doesn’t get her way, just like a spoiled little kid?
Yes, it’s a VERY strange thing to get pouty about. I had to reread it to make sure I didn’t miss anything because I couldn’t believe that someone would get upset about something so trivial.
Info: Are you spending meaningful time doing other things together? Has it been a long time since you played together? Are you spending a lot of time playing that game on your tablet?
She might be feeling overlooked.
We do a lot together and no it hasn’t been a long time since we played together and no, its just a time passing game. Played it this morning while drinking a cup of coffee
NTA. Its slot machines. This has to be deeper than these games. It’s time to have a talk about what’s really going on.
wtf? Tell her to download it and play it also 🤷🏼♀️
NTA-this is weird.
NTA but this is not about a slot app.
It stopped being about the game the moment it became about ownership. That’s the real problem.
