He told me he never wanted to see me again, slammed the door and got maybe ten minutes away before messaging me never to contact him again, which I have heard more than my own name from him at this point yet he's still around.

People think I should have avoided an argument and turned off my cat's show but no, it's my house and I applied for this house specifically for my cat, he's on the lease, it's HIS house.

AITA for not turning off my cat's show?

Also ETA: I have found this shared to Facebook groups and will not be commenting anymore. I am deleting the photo of my cat for our privacy.

My cat and I don't need this control and bad juju anymore.

Anyway, my ex got mad. He didn't ask, he told me to turn the TV off. I said no it's for [cat], and he got mad and told me to turn it off more aggressively. I asked why and he said it was distracting. I said it's a children's show, it's for the cat, I have an entire house that we can go and talk in.

He stood up and paused, then got his finger out and berated me. Saying that I always need to have the last word, always need to have my way, that he's a cat, and here's the kicker: that he's a guest and has made a request and I'm not accommodating him, do I not realise how rude I am being? I scoffed and said this is my house, you're the Guest, I denied your request and you're making DEMANDS, do you not realise how rude YOU'RE being?

Hi all, I'm new to reddit and don't post much

My ex and I were best friends in high school then had a short relationship in 2016 that ended with him basically ghosting me. We reconnected in 2020 and it was a whirlwind of on and off drama.

Anyway, I live on my own with my cat who gets treated like royalty. My ex has expressed several times his displeasure of my house "being a shrine to my cat" because of how much my cat has and how much I do to accommodate him. He has expressed before that he is not jealous of the cat, just annoyed that I give him so much attention and will choose the cat first. Meh, sounds like insecurities over a cat to me.

A few weeks ago, we needed to talk some things out over our relationship, so he came over to talk and I had a movie on. After about half an hour I changed the movie over to my cat's favourite show on Netflix, a preschool show about baby animals narrated by children. This would keep my cat entertained and allow us to talk uninterrupted.
