AITA for Cleaning the Storage Room and Accidentally Crossing a Line?

I never thought something as small as a box of tampons could cause such a blow-up in my marriage. I had been cleaning out the storage room as I was just trying to be helpful. While reorganizing some shelves, I moved her tampon box to a more “logical” spot—at least in my mind. But the moment she saw it, her face dropped like I’d committed some unspeakable crime. She accused me of invading her privacy, and before I knew it, we were in a heated argument. Now I’m left wondering—did I really cross a line here, or is she just overreacting?

Where I Stand

Let’s find out how other Redditors weigh in on this story.

Now it’s been a few days, and the tension is still thick. She’s still upset, saying it wasn’t about the box itself, but about me touching something she considers private without asking. I feel like I was just trying to tidy up, not violate some sacred boundary. Part of me wants to stand my ground, but another part wonders if I missed something important about respecting personal space—even in a marriage. So, Reddit… am I the a**hole for moving my wife’s tampon box?
