Boyfriend gets mad at girlfriend for helping elderly couple with ASL
In a heartwarming incident at a train station, a woman came to the rescue of an elderly couple who were lost and flustered. However, her boyfriend, who was already trying to help them, was left embarrassed when he found out that his girlfriend knew American Sign Language (ASL) and he didn’t.
The woman had taken beginner classes at university and was able to help the couple find their correct route. When her boyfriend got mad and accused her of embarrassing him, she defended herself saying that knowing ASL wasn’t a secret and that the situation wasn’t handled as he was getting annoyed and the couple was flustered.
The woman is planning to have a conversation with her boyfriend about how this is a problem with his ego and not her skills. While some may see this incident as a minor disagreement, it raises concerns about how toxic masculinity can affect relationships.
