AITA for asking my girlfriend and her sister to cover up ?
Haunted by years of injuries from his passionate soccer days, a 26-year-old man yearned for healing and renewal.
Guided by the gentle encouragement of his girlfriend, a devoted yogi, he embarked on a transformative journey of yoga—embracing flexibility not just of his body, but of his spirit.
In the sanctuary of his home, with the loving presence of his girlfriend and her sister, he felt strength and hope bloom anew with every breath and stretch.
But the fragile peace was shattered when his parents unexpectedly appeared at the doorstep during an intimate yoga session, unprepared and caught off guard.
As he scrambled to cover himself, the collision of past and present, privacy and family, threatened to unravel the delicate progress he had fought so hard to make.

Strong Takes and Sharper Words from the Crowd:
When users weighed in, they held nothing back. It’s a raw, honest look at what people really think.
The original poster (OP) is caught between his desire to maintain a comfortable and private environment for his yoga sessions and the unexpected arrival of his parents, leading him to request his girlfriend and her sister cover up.
This action resulted in significant offense to the yoga instructor sister, who felt disrespected, and created a major conflict with his long-term girlfriend, who interpreted his request as controlling behavior.
Did the OP's request for his yoga partners to cover up, made immediately upon the unexpected arrival of his parents, constitute a necessary boundary setting for privacy or an inappropriate policing of their attire within their established training context?
Should the OP apologize to the sister to mend professional and personal ties, or was his action a reasonable response to an immediate social situation?
