My wife used to model for a variety of photographer and artists. She stopped around 5 years ago, but some of the art she’s appeared in is still found in a couple of galleries and portfolios
One particular set of photos were artistic nudes she did for a good friend of ours. The photos are still posted online in the photographer’s website, although they are not easy to find. They are artistic, not pornographic in any way.
Well, my mother somehow discovered these photos (I’m not sure how) and was appalled. She contacted me and said we need to have them taken down, they aren’t appropriate, do I really want people seeing my wife like that, etc.
I let her know that she’s completely off base here, and if she really wants to pursue this she can speak to my wife. She was miffed and said that she already tried that, and she even said that she told my wife that my dad had seen them (clearly to try to make her feel bad about it). She said my wife just shrugged and said “what did he think of them?”
While I love my wife’s reaction, my mom is now not speaking to us.
AITA for not being more sensitive to my mom’s concerns?
