Welcome to another Reddit post that was posted on the AITA thread. The AITA thread is known for those who use it to explain situations they're going through and get an unbiased opinion on how they reacted or what they said in a situation.

It's a great place to get opinions from people that you don't know and that don't know you so you can truly hear what fair advice is. We like looking into these posts because they are very entertaining, and we get to see many different perspectives and opinions from people.

In today's post, we'll be diving into a story of a man who called his girlfriend selfish for refusing to learn sign language so that she could communicate with his daughter. Her excuse is that it's hard for her to learn and that his daughter can communicate in other ways, but that just doesn't sit right with OP.

He called her selfish and is now seeking advice on whether or not he's wrong for calling her selfish and if he's just being overprotective. So if you're interested in this kind of thing, then stay tuned as we dive into this full story and all of the best comments that were left on it.

OP starts off by explaining that his daughter was born mute and prefers to sign.

He goes into details on how his girlfriend is the issue and that he feels like she's not trying hard enough to learn sign language.

He says that she said it's hard and she refuses to try any harder to try to learn it because his daughter can communicate in other ways.

It resulted in a fight, but he's not giving up because he feels like that is the bare minimum that he could do.

He explains more of how he feels and what his girlfriend has been saying about the whole situation.

The first comment automatically says that OP is NTA but that this should be a deal breaker for him. OP responded saying that he thinks it might be.

OP states in a reply to this comment that he was already thinking about breaking it off with her, but his family got in his head.

This person had a different perspective and said that ultimately neither of them are wrong but they might just not be meant to be together.

Ultimately they continue on with saying that they need to have a real conversation about what's going to happen.

This comment definitely had good advice and hopefully OP decides to talk to his girlfriend about the situation.

This person says that there is NAH and that it is difficult to learn, but maybe if she's not willing then it could cause problems.

It's a hard situation to be in and really it is a pretty fair situation on both ends actually.

They also said that maybe they are just incompatible for each other at this time in their lives.

This person basically said that he is being a good father and isn't doing anything wrong.

People really said that he was NTA in this situation and that he might be better off single than trying to get her to do what she should for his daughter. This situation is pretty sucky no matter what because it sounds like they might not be that compatible.
