AITAH for wanting to divorce my husband bc he added pee to my food?

The user, a 32-year-old woman (OP), has been married to her 36-year-old husband for four years. The central conflict began when the OP noticed a strange, off-taste in her personal food items, like overnight oats and coffee, despite not becoming physically ill.

After consulting a friend, the OP installed a hidden camera, which shockingly revealed that her husband was urinating into her food and beverages. Following this discovery, the OP reacted explosively, causing significant damage to his property. The husband is now pleading for reconciliation, claiming it was an attempt to fulfill a long-standing, non-consensual fetish, leaving the OP questioning whether to stay or leave.

AITAH for wanting to divorce my husband bc he added pee to my food?

I (32f) have been married to my husband (36m) for 4 years, and I am questioning who I married. He has a strange fetish where he wanted to pee on my face during sex, which I repeatedly and firmly told him I was not interested in.

He asked a few times but never pushed it, so I assumed the matter was dropped.

Months ago, I noticed my food tasting strange—my overnight oats, yogurt, and coffee tasted off, but I never became sick. I initially suspected the refrigerator or spoiled food. After discussing this stress with a friend, she suggested I place a camera near the fridge since only he and I live there.

The recording shockingly showed my husband taking the lid off my food and drinks, urinating in them, shaking the container, and replacing it.

I completely lost control. I broke his PS5, his TV, threw his clothes in the snow, and damaged his shoes. When he returned, I screamed at him. He began crying, begging, and claimed it was his fetish and he thought this was a way to do it without me knowing.

He stated we took vows and must work through it. I am currently staying at a friend’s house and have not told anyone else. He is pressuring me, saying I am ruining our marriage over a ‘mistake,’ but I find this act vile and I cannot look at him the same.

I need an outside perspective: am I the asshole for wanting a divorce, or should I try to forgive him?

Here’s how people reacted:

I’ll be the voice of dissent. Although i think you’re NTA- what he did was without consent and totally messed up. BUT this is your husband, and I’m assuming you guys are monogamous… so for you to shut down the convo each time he brought up his kink… that’s not really fostering a healthy sec life or a deeper bond. So even though he was totally inappropriate, and you’re NTA if you leave him, you were kinda the AH for shooting down his kink (which is gross but overall harmless) without even a discussion- it was basically asking for the relationship to eventually fail in someway.

If I found out a guy I’ve been married to for 4 years had been pissing in my food I would honestly break his neck. Not only is it assault but my food bro. Nothing means more to me than my food and idk if that’s just because I’m a fatass but if anyone did that to me it would end in a death. Death or divorce honey death or divorce

NTA. Ok, first of all, just to make the point, YOU’RE not the one “ruining \[your\] marriage over this”, he is. Dude LITERALLY broke the law to disrespect you and get his rocks off. I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him at this point. In what world would doing this without your consent be okay? He’s deranged.
PinkSparkles1516

As I usually say with posts like these, I hope this is fake. But if it is, this is a crime. You even have video evidence. This is disgusting and not normal behavior. This is not “sexual” or a fetish. He is harming you and basically poisoning you.
Seek help. Leave him. This is absolutely unacceptable
SwordfishPast8963

Press fucking charges. That is assault and he could’ve made you incredibly ill or worse. I cannot fucking believe that this is actually a real post that someone had to write, but I’m so sorry that you’re actually living that experience. Jesus fucking Christ. my entire heart is with you.
Cali_Holly

This situation has NOTHING to do with your wedding vows. Don’t let him emotionally manipulate you. He added a substance to your food and beverages. He COULD have been poisoning you. He COULD have been roofie you. And this? Has literally nothing to do with marriage vows.
Midnight_rose96

NTA, this is NOT okay. No relationship can go back from this. This man actually sounds dangerous. The fact that he’s saying that YOU’RE ruining the marriage tells me everything I need to know about him. Leave him cautiously bc he doesn’t sound like he’s right in the head.
humco_707

Get a restraining order. File charges and get the fuck outta there let his family know the kind of monster he is.
That’s the correct way to handle it.

Or you could…. Nevermind, he’s not worth going to prison for. Just get away from him and let the courts handle him

OutsideBeginning8180

He assaulted you with his bodily fluids. It’s a real crime and should be fully fucking reported.
If that is his fetish there is a person out there who will consent to that shit but he didn’t even give you a choice.
Imo it’s a form of abuse more than it is a kink.
SummerTimeRedSea

NTA girl you will never forgive him it’s not possible. He is … I don’t even have a Word to be honest.

Don’t even try to forgive him because when you ll leave him… respect yourself and leave because he clearly does not.

He is completly crazy.

Obnoxious_Box

NTA, this is disgusting and I’m sure its illegal too! NO EFFIN way, WTF?!?! You have a psycho on your hands, and you should get away quick. You never know what else he is capable of! How will you ever look at him the same again? YUCK! NTA
me123456777

That is so fucking disgusting. If he shit in something, would you even be thinking of forgiving him call a lawyer whether it be pee or poison he tampered with your food divorce, the scumbag this deviant scumbag, not the asshole.
Designer-Vacation-41

Run as fast as you can. The fact that he is supposed to be a PARTNER AND HUSBAND and knowingly putting bodily fluids in your food is beyond disgusting and cruel. Leave his ass and break some more of his shit for us please.
Rodrigo24122004

You gotta be KIDDING me, that’s gotta be fake, I can’t believe someone would do something like that.
Your story looks a little fake and hard to believe but if that’s really true, I’m really sorry.
Ok_Childhood_9774

NTA, and let him know that if he gives you *any* crap about the divorce, you will let everyone he’s ever met know exactly why you’re leaving him. Make sure you SAVE the videos.
whimsicalwhiskey89

DIVORCE. Not only forcing you to participate in his fetish without consent but in the most fucked up way. NTA, I’m not a lawyer, but that sounds like criminal charges, too.
Jetlei98

Haha Dafuk u asking for??? It’s a no brainer cause there is no more trust in this relationship!!! How can you get back to zero with this person who took pleasure in that?
JangaGully2424

NTA! That man is sicker than any therapist can fix. Stay away and divorce his ass after you press charges and tell ppl the truth when they
ask.

Overall_Throat_3240

Run away, don’t walk. He has broken a trust that cannot be fixed. He ruined your relationship, for a fetish. What an awful, sick person.
Becalmandkind

NTA. See a lawyer ASAP! Of course you’re going to divorce him. Not that I’ve ever heard of it before, but it’s a dealbreaker. 🤢
PerfectCover1414

Oh dear OP this is awful. I know if my husband did that he’d be my ex. Forget fetish what about health, he’s endangering you.
Ordinary-Concern3248

I just saw the title. I don’t care what you typed. If your husband added pee to your food, please leave. Like wtf?
LukeHeart

Is this story fake? It reminds me of the story about someone’s husband secretly putting snails in the OP’s food
SkinnyPig45

This is disgusting. Leave him. And go to the cops and press assault charges. Bc that’s what this is. Assault
Consistent_Ad5709

NTA, definitely let his family and your family know because how do they know he hasn’t did it to their food.
SpecialistBit283

Is this fake? Why would there be an option to forgive someone for peeing in your food? Ain’t no fucking way
Aggressive_Poet_7319

Intrepid_Parsley_655

NTA. Save that video somewhere safe in case. There’s no way I could forgive someone for doing that.
prettypoopy1981

Shit in his food and see how he likes it. What the absolute fuck? You needa restraining order.
lecorbeauamelasse

I think this is the biggest NTA in the history of NTAs. Divorce his ass, this is horrific.
WorriedSwordfish2506

Your soon to be ex is a creep and mentally ill.

PipeInevitable9383

Ok-Tip-530

Honestly my fault for knowing how to read

Was anal involved in your relationship?
Budsmasher1

I bet you drank gallons of his piss

Conclusion

The OP is in a state of extreme distress and betrayal following the discovery of her husband’s secretive and invasive actions. The conflict pits the husband’s insistence on working through his bizarre, non-consensual fetish against the OP’s justified feelings of violation and the destruction of trust in their marriage.

The core issue is whether this profound breach of trust, enacted through a fetishistic act hidden from the OP, constitutes an unforgivable violation warranting divorce, or if the husband’s promises of therapy and change are enough grounds for the OP to attempt to salvage the marriage. Should the OP prioritize her immediate safety and feelings of violation, or work through the marriage vows?
