A woman on the AITA subreddit contemplates divorcing her husband due to his obsessive habit of over-tightening jar lids, which has made her life increasingly frustrating. This seemingly trivial behavior symbolizes larger issues of control and emotional manipulation in their marriage. Despite friends and family questioning her decision, many commenters support her stance, agreeing that the over-tightening represents gaslighting. The post highlights not only the peculiarities of their relationship but also raises questions about boundaries and respect in a partnership.
Not the asshole. Your husband has spent five years deliberately making your life harder in tiny ways and then lying to your face to make you think you are crazy.
No, you're not getting a divorce because of jar lids; you're getting a divorce because your husband is gaslighting you for sport.
OP, before you move out, buy his favorite jar of foods and super glue all the lids.
My ex told me he just didn't hear our two babies when they woke at night, so I ended up feeling crazy for insisting he help.
