We were driving home, and out of nowhere my bf (m26) casually says “theres a woman who raped/molested a kid and shes not getting in trouble for it” as he browsed his phone. I didnt reply as i was driving and focused on the road and the music on in the car. 

He then, without warning or asking, proceeds to tell me in extreme detail what the woman did to the toddler while our own 3 year old sat in the backseat, so I screamed at him. I screamed “why the fuck would you read that to me, why would you think thats okay, that’s disgusting and disturbing, i feel sick now”

His defense was that I read him “sick, disturbing shit” all the time. He would be right as i often read stories to him about deaths in the news in detail HOWEVER I personally dont find graphic death nearly as disturbing or upsetting as the graphic details of the rape of a baby. I never have and never will subject myself to reading things like that. 

He yelled back at me, we got into a fight when we got home, away from earshot of our toddler, and havent spoken since.

My sister told me i made it a bigger deal than it was, so i really want to know, am i the asshole here?
