Panel Image Left dinner excluding my husband with my in-laws I'm a 26-year-old woman, and about two weeks ago, I went on a "family trip" with my in-laws. There's always been an undercurrent of my mother-in-law (MIL) thinking I'm a bit "ignorant" and "backward" due to my background coming from a lower-class family compared to theirs. She's also held the opinion that I lack certain "etiquette." Upon reaching the hotel, they had planned a visit to an upscale restaurant for dinner. Unfortunately, my husband didn't inform me about this plan in advance. I only found out at the last moment when he was already dressed up for it. When I asked where he was headed, he casually mentioned that he, along with the family, were going out to dine. However, I wasn't included because his mother "assumed" that since I might not be familiar with the food and the proper way to eat it at the restaurant, it would be better for me to stay in and eat at the hotel. Rather than arguing, I allowed him to leave and subsequently packed my things, catching the first available flight back home. When he realized I had left, he became frantic and made numerous calls. Upon discovering that I had gone back home, he became very angry and accused me of being unreasonable and irrational for my actions. He went on to say that my behavior was ungrateful and embarrassing, especially in front of his family. This reaction was despite the fact that he had actively persuaded me to join the trip. Our disagreement escalated into an argument, and he resorted to giving me the silent treatment once he returned home. Adding to the strain, some members of his family have indirectly critiqued me on social media, discussing what I did without directly mentioning my name. In summary, during a recent family trip with my in-laws, a miscommunication led to my exclusion from a fancy dinner. Feeling uncomfortable and unwanted, I chose to leave and head back home. This decision led to a heated argument with my husband, who labeled my actions as ungrateful and embarrassing. Additionally, certain family members have taken to social media to discuss the incident without directly addressing me.
Panel Image Divorced my wife after she aborted our baby for her voodoo FYI, I am using the AI tool to write this as i don't want anyone in my family or friends to find about this. They tend to side my wife on this while no one's taking my feelings in to accountability. I am a 34-year-old man who has been married to my wife for 8 years. Together, we have a 6-year-old child, and my wife was pregnant with our second child. My wife is deeply spiritual, and while I didn't grow up with much knowledge of her interests due to my strict religious upbringing, I've always supported her enjoyment of these things as long as they didn't involve me directly. During her first pregnancy, my wife visited a psychic to receive a "reading" about our baby. The psychic accurately predicted that we would have a boy with blonde hair, a detail that wasn't too difficult to guess since my wife also has blonde hair. Additionally, my wife had seen this psychic before she met me, and that reading had indicated she would soon find the love of her life. This time around, while pregnant with our second child, my wife visited the psychic again. Shockingly, the psychic's reading took a dark turn. She predicted that our unborn child would grow up to commit terrible acts, causing harm to many innocent people and leading a life of crime. The prediction was unsettling, resembling something out of a horror movie. Despite my own skepticism, my wife took the psychic's words to heart and made the decision to book an appointment for an abortion without informing me. When she finally revealed her plans to me, I did my best to persuade her to reconsider. Although she initially agreed to think it over, she ultimately proceeded with the abortion in secret, alongside her sister. Devastated by the loss of a child we had been trying to conceive for months, I packed my things and left, seeking refuge with my mother. I informed my wife that our relationship was over, but that I would return to take care of our son. Beyond that, I wanted nothing to do with her. In response, my wife accused me of abandoning her during a time when she needed my support the most. She labeled me a terrible person for not respecting her autonomy over her body and criticized me for supposedly lacking control over her decisions. In essence, this situation has left us in a deeply contentious state. My wife's belief in the psychic's predictions led her to make a major decision without involving me, and my inability to comprehend or accept her actions has led to a rift between us. Our differing perspectives on choice, responsibility, and the future have created an emotionally charged and difficult situation for both of us. Was I wrong here? Do let me know in the comments.
Panel Image Told my wife that my mother will never love her like a daughter I've been married to my wife for two years, and when it comes to my mother, the best way to describe her is as distant or aloof. It's not that she's impolite, but she seems uninterested in forming a connection with my wife. My mother's demeanor can be attributed to the challenges she's faced throughout her life. She's had a tough journey and seems to have little emotional energy left to invest in building relationships. Her reserved nature and lack of enthusiasm extend to most people, and she prefers a quiet, solitary existence. I've talked to my wife about my mother's background and personality in an effort to provide some context. Recently, we had a small gathering at my mom's house. My mother has a unique tradition of preparing all the food herself and prefers guests not to bring additional dishes. However, when my wife arrived after work with potato salad, I intervened and prevented her from bringing it inside. Throughout the evening, my wife seemed insistent on engaging my mom, despite my mother's desire for solitude. Even when my mom indicated that she needed some quiet time, my wife continued to engage her. At one point, my mother requested that I take my wife away from her, likely because she was nearing her limit. Later, during a car ride, my wife and I had a conversation about the evening. She expressed a desire to be liked by my mother and was confused about why my mother seemed to have a negative view of her. She explained that she was being courteous and couldn't understand why her efforts weren't being reciprocated. In response, I told her that my mother is unlikely to ever form a deep connection with her, and that by pushing for it, she's actually creating tension. I advised her to give my mother space and not to pursue a closeness that my mother may not be capable of. Unfortunately, this straightforward advice led to my wife calling me a jerk, and we haven't spoken since. In summary, my mother's distant nature has led to misunderstandings between her and my wife. Despite my wife's intentions to be friendly and win my mother's affection, I had to be honest with her about the unlikelihood of that happening. This conversation resulted in my wife becoming upset and temporarily cutting off communication with me.
Panel Image Wore a bikini even though my sister had given birth My parents, my older sister Jeena (33), her husband George (30), and their son (1), as well as my husband and our daughter (2), we decided to visit a beach club for the first time during our family summer vacation. Jeena had approached me beforehand, asking if I could avoid wearing a bikini or anything revealing during our time at the beach club. She explained that both she and George were feeling a bit self-conscious about her postpartum body, and she wanted to avoid any uncomfortable discussions about it. In response, I expressed sympathy for her feelings but shared my intention to fully enjoy the beach by swimming and soaking up the sun without being overly covered up. I pointed out that many other women would likely be wearing bikinis, so I didn't believe my choice of swimwear would be a big issue. On the day of our beach club visit, she appeared visibly upset and anxious throughout the day. Unfortunately, her discomfort continued into the following day, leading her to decline joining us at the beach once again. My parents have now weighed in on the situation, expressing their concern that I should have been more considerate by wearing a cover-up that still allowed for swimming. They've also mentioned that my refusal to do so could potentially negatively impact the overall enjoyment of the vacation. Despite her request, I chose to wear regular swimwear for comfort and enjoyment. This decision seemed to upset her and has now led to tension within our family vacation. My parents believe that my choice could have been more accommodating, potentially preventing any disruption to the vacation experience. Now that I have realised, it was George who had pointed out her postpartum body and had declined her to wear it so that he doesn't feel ashamed. That's the red flag that she should be concerned about and not what her sister is wearing at the beach. Was I wrong here?
