A tale of tattling

The relationship between siblings can be pretty weird and complicated sometimes. 

Parents may spend years trying to get siblings to stop fighting or bickering over little things such as sharing bathrooms or chores. While in some cases, the fights may be caused by the older siblings detesting being asked to look after their younger ones.

Some siblings may even find themselves in the crossfire over their parents’ attention. Research even shows siblings can fight as often as eight times an hour.

However, even though most siblings go out of their way not to show how much they care for each other, more often than not, they go to lengths to care for and protect themselves. 

Yet, one brother may have taken his quest to protect his sister a little too far, and we found out all about it in the AITA community on Reddit.

A woman shared that she had recently discovered that her husband installed a tracking device in his sister’s car after fixing it. 

Although she confronted him about it, he refused to tell her why he had installed it. This made her threaten to tell his sister due to their close relationship. 

OP’s husband instead requested that she mind her business, which led to an argument between them. 

OP then came to the court of Reddit to find out if she was the A-hole in this situation, and you can bet Redditors had a lot to say.

Let's dig into the details

OP discovered that her husband installed a tracking device in his sister's car and she confronted him about it

More context...

Here's what the Reddit community had to say:

"NTA but I worry does your husband also track you."

"Tell her immediately and begin to rethink this marriage. NTA"

"First and foremost, keep yourself safe. Not sure what your husband is threatening you with."

"TELL HER!...This isn't complicated. This is illegal and disgusting."

"It's illegal for an ordinary person to install a tracking device on someone's car without their consent."

"Your husband is the guilty party here, not whomever put him up to it. He could face considerable fines and even jail time."

"If he's willing to do that to his sister, he's willing to do that to his wife too. Check your stuff."

"NTA-it is illegal and he is threatening you."

"YTA for not warning them immediately about your husband."

"Get yourself somewhere safe, this is not right or normal."

"Not only would I tell the sister, but also probably law enforcement as that's a blatant breach of her privacy."

"It comes down to whether you trust him or if he is shady."

"It is a huge invasion of privacy for your husband to be tracking his sister's whereabouts without her knowledge."

"NTA, and you should find out if your own car has a tracker in it, too."

"NTA...Go to a different mechanic and get YOUR car checked."

"NTA. What is this a mafia movie?? I'm so confused."

"You need to tell her immediately and also find somewhere safe for yourself to stay."

"What he is doing is highly illegal. Tell the sister, file for divorce."

OP seems to have all the support of the Reddit community, and they awarded her the much-coveted title of NTA.

According to the commenters, OP’s husband is invading his sister’s privacy, which is worrisome. Some even advised her to check if he had installed a tracking device in her car as well.

What do you think about this? Is OP the A-hole here, or did her husband step out of line? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
