Sharing is caring, but how much are you willing to share?

This man is subscribed to multiple streaming services.

His girlfriend and her entire family used them for free, but eventually, he decided to cut them off.

Read the story below to find out how his girlfriend reacted when she found out.

AITA for not sharing passwords

I (30M) pay for Netflix, HBO, Disney+, and basically every streaming service known to man.

My girlfriend (27F) and her entire family have been using my accounts for free for over a year.

At first, I didn’t mind.

But recently, I started getting kicked off my own accounts because too many people were watching.

This man changed all his passwords.

I asked her to at least tell them to log out when they’re done.

But she just shrugged and said, “It’s just streaming. What’s the big deal?”

So, I changed all my passwords.

She found out when her mom texted her, asking why Netflix wasn’t working.

Now, his girlfriend is calling him petty and selfish.

Now, she’s mad at me, saying I was being petty and “selfish.”

I told her I wasn’t running a charity for unlimited binge-watching.

Now, she’s barely talking to me.

AITA?

Let them pay for their own streaming services.
