so i moved into this new apartment right and this super sweet girl across the hall lets call her claire starts chatting me up every time we bump into each other in the hallway shes all sunshine and candles and plants with names and she always waves like shes in a romcom
anyway one day shes like hey come over for wine my boyfriends moving in we’re celebrating and im like say less im there i show up ready to vibe and who opens the door but josh
like not just any josh THE josh the same dude who used to come over to my place last year and eat all my chips and then ghosted me like i was a bad dream and hes just standing there holding a wine glass like he didn’t used to snore on my couch
he tries to play it cool acting like hes never seen me before in his life and claire bless her is pouring drinks and being cute and i’m just standing there like umm plot twist
so im like how long you two been together and she goes almost two years and i just blink because excuse me i was seeing this man like a year and a half ago
i say it right there oops i think i dated him and josh looks like hes about to evaporate into the wall and claire looks like i just told her her cat ran away
she kicks me out and im like fair honestly i get it but then she texts me later saying josh said i was lying and he doesn’t even know me like girl come on i literally have screenshots and a blurry selfie of us eating nachos at 1am
i sent it to her and poof nothing no reply no hey sorry no omg i didn’t know just ghosted harder than josh ever did
now she walks past me like im a haunted whisper and im like girl i didn’t cheat on you i just recognized your man from my couch
so aita or did i just accidentally press the drama button at wine night

NTA. U didnt plan drama, u just recognized a dude who used ur couch like a hostel. If Claires mad, thats on Josh for lying, not u for telling the truth. U didnt cheat, u just brought receipts
NTA. Women who believe men when they’ve been busted for cheating are very sad.
NTA. U didnt drop tea, u dropped facts. If her mans shady past couldnt survive wine night, thats not ur fault
NTA. You didn’t start the drama, you just didn’t pretend not to recognize someone who had clearly been dishonest, tbh you were respectful, told the truth when it came up naturally and even sent proof privately afterward
NTA. U didnt ruin the vibe, Josh did when he ghosted u and lied to her. Dont blame the smoke, blame the fire
If Claire wanted a drama-free night, she should’ve checked for exes on the guest list! Next time, maybe add a no exes clause to the invite.
4/10 writing is just a bit too juvenile. Don’t worry, you’ll do better on you next one
You didn’t start drama, you just dropped receipts on the dude who ghosted you and crashed your couch. Claire’s mad at Josh for lying, not you for telling the truth. You served the tea, not spilled it
NAH. i get that you weren’t trying to start drama, you just reacted in real time to a weird situation. and claire’s reaction, as harsh as it might’ve felt, is kind of what i imagine a lot of people would do too. if i had a boyfriend of two years and a near-stranger suddenly dropped a bomb like that at my wine night, i’d probably believe the person i thought i knew too (at least at first)
her not replying might not mean she’s ignoring you out of malice. she could be embarrassed, overwhelmed, or just trying to process everything privately. you didn’t do anything wrong, but it’s also possible she just… doesn’t know how to handle this yet.
Punctuation. If you ever hope to be a writer, punctuation. It’s your friend.
sounds as fake as a 1€ bill. this should be tagged as AI
Sounds a lot like this story…
AITH for telling my neighbor I dated her husband? : r/AITAH
But ok then.
Ooh I’ve definitely read this post before but it was written in a normal style that time
