AITA for hating my dad's new boyfriend??
Not The Asshole
okay so I (15m) live with my dad(33m), but I hang out with my other dad(also 33m) who I'll call B. B isn't my biological father but if dad dies, he becomes my guardian, and he's known me since I was 7 so I think he's basically my dad even if I haven't said it to his face
ANYWAYS all this to say.. I'm not homophobic, okay?? but oh my god Bs new boyfriend (who I'll call T) is insufferable. B is such a happy person all the time to the point where the power could go out and he'd be happy to save on the power bill, flowers grow where he walks etc... but T is literally the opposite. and I get opposites attract or whatever but it's to the point where I don't even see what B sees in T, who, mind you, is in his late 40s (think like 45+) so he's already old (sorry to the old people out there)
The main thing that I think I'm the asshole for is how To thinks I'm spending too much time with B,,, B takes me to the zoo at least once a month, and we hang out multiple times a week because he helps me with my homework or projects, and sometimes we FaceTime just to talk when B and dad are on shift. T thinks it's weird because I'm not B's "real son" and that T doesn't even want kids so he doesn't understand why B is so adamant in hanging out with me.
Also, unrelated to the post, but when B told me about their first date/meeting I was kinda grossed out because he low-key tried to force B out of the closet when he only just realised he was Bi (LGBTQ win! everyone already knew!) and I know from some of my friends who are gay that coming out is a big thing and it's really personal so I don't understand why T would force him out of the closet. Also T was at my 14th birthday and it was really awkward because he didn't even wish me a happy birthday and didn't even let B talk to dad a lot even though they're best friends
so am I the asshole for this???

NTA, dude. you're only a kid, you don't have to like people if you don't want to, especially considering what you said about T. have you talked to B or your dad about this? might be worth it. good luck, kid!!
