Fake, but even if it was true, the problem would have probably been the age change and not the gender change. Teenage relationships and adult relationships have different rules…
AmITheAsshole is 99% rage bait and fan fiction. "Am I the Asshole for letting my wife only sleep with 8 different guys, while cucking myself and paying everything for her? I'm totally unsure if I'm, in this Ludacris Situation in which I'm clearly being abused, being unreasonable.... PLS BE NICE, GIVE ME ATTENTION! PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Yes, he'd be an asshole for giving her them as a birthday present, regardless of the fact that he got her other presents as well. Just ask her if she wants them after he gets his new ones.
Lmao I've actually done just that before, swapping the genders of a previous post, and people do say the complete opposite even though it's the same situations.
I do think the age changes it. If it's an 18 year old guy asking about his girlfriend, I also would be like, "hey, that may be a bit much. Old ones are fine." cause they're young. The expectations are lower. If it's an adult woman asking this for her husband, I would say to not give it on their birthday. "Hey, here's my old pair. Happy birthday" may be a bit flippant, but saying, "Hey, I got a new pair, want my old one?" doesn't seem like a bad deal.
Also, we didn't see the post. Maybe the other gifts were also bad. Not saying that AITA isn't a dumpster fire. But he changed the factors and didn't give us all the information.
Edit: I just saw the post. He bought her airpods a few years ago and, with how he's talking, it sounds like he got his around the same time. His wife's are glitching and just generally failing, but his used ones are fine. He says she takes care of them as with the rest of her things. He has the option to get free, new pair. Yeah, that is kind of dickish. "Here's my old headphones that could very well be on their way out as well and have been worn for x years. Please enjoy while I get my brand new set that I've openly told you I don't need. Happy birthday."
If this wasn't her birthday, fine. But on the day? That kind of fucked imo
Thought this would be a joke about how the titles of AITA posts that sound innocent are typically the ones where OP is the asshole. Like "Can I give someone my old headphones?" Yes, obviously. "Wrapped as a gift," um, that feels a little insensitive. Probably just give them unwrapped and don't say it's part of the gift.
I recently read one where the wife was on her laptop and ignoring her husband when he asked her to look at something. So he flicked a lighter in her face, and then she slapped him in his face.
90% of the comments said that she was completely justified in hitting this guy in the face and that she should divorce him.
Anyone saying that you can't just hit people in the face was down voted to hell.
Wtf why would anyone (I know, I know, fake story, but hear me out) gift their USED in-ear headphones. I wouldn't touch that thing with a ten-foot pole, regardless if it was "cleaned".
