AITA for "causing a scene" over internet?
33F. I have 2 sons, age 15 and 12. Their father passed when my youngest was 4.
Roughly 3 months ago my partner of 3 years moved in (34m). No kids. Its important to note that I own and operate my own business, and make plenty enough to support myself and my children with a lot let over for savings and luxury. Despite this, John insisted I let him "help". Okay, fine. I gave him access to the internet. He has paid exactly one bill, this past month.
Here lies the problem. He paid that one internet bill ($68) and all of the sudden me and my children's internet wasnt working past 10pm. I thought something was wrong with my internet and continuously called the provider to fix the issue. I mean, ALL the tvs, our phones, our PCS, gaming consoles, etc, none of it would connect to the internet past 10. John knew this was a problem because he's heard me on the phone with the provider to figure out what was going on. He has heard my kids talk about it.
Well, last night me and my 15yo were online trying to get through his exam and like clockwork, the internet shuts off at 10pm. I am absolutely livid at this point because its been happening for like 2 weeks with zero answers. Then John comes out of the shower and goes "alright, bedtime" (he holds himself to a strict bed time because he gets up at 4am for work). I told him I wasnt going to sleep and I was going to call the internet provider and "lose my sh't". Thats when he tells me that he "paused" the internet. I asked what he meant and he said that apparently you can turn the internet off on certain devices and "since he manages the internet now", he has it on a schedule to shut off at 10 so that everyone can "have healthier sleeping habits".
Maybe I overreacted, but I told him he had until Friday to be out. Mainly because he saw me flipping out about the internet for 2 weeks, meanwhile he was the culprit the entire time, and it strikes me as a power play/controlling asf and I'm just not playing that game. He is telling everyone that will listen that I "caused a scene over internet". To me, its much deeper than that. AITA?
