Weddings

<blockquote> My children&#39;s dad &amp; I got seperated and divorced 2 years ago. We&#39;re on good terms regarding co parenting. And since he&#39;s close to my brother, my brother had invited him to his wedding. Perfectly okay with me since the kids were thrilled to get extra time with dad. </blockquote><blockquote> I was taking a video of mom and my kids at the wedding and posted it on my insta. Hours later, I get a call from my ex yelling about my camera catching him dancing drunkenly in the background. I said &quot;so what?!?!&quot; He told me he&#39;s getting engaged to his conservative girlfriend soon and if her or her conservative family saw him in this video then there&#39;s gonna be trouble. </blockquote><blockquote> I thought that was silly. He demanded that I take it down but I declined. He insisted saying he was &quot;technically&quot; recordered via my camera and he did not consent. I called him ridiculous and refused to take it down. He&#39;s gotten the kids involved now which got me mad and made the argument escalate. </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> Mom is saying I should take it down but I feel like he&#39;s trying to control my social media activity. AITA for refusing? He said that his girlfriend can and WILL see it via the kids since they&#39;re with me on social media. </blockquote>Comments:<a data-testid="comment_author_link" href="https://www.reddit.com/user/chriswillar/">chriswillar</a> says:Ask yourself this - is that &quot;silly&quot; video worth destroying your co-parenting relationship with him right now? Because he is absolutely in the right to demand you take it down if he&#39;s featured in it. No one says you have to delete it off your phone, so the memory isn&#39;t gone, but it&#39;s petty of you to insist it should remain online.
