She Keeps Fighting With Her Husband, So She Took Her Daughter To Go Stay At Her Parents’ House For A Bit
by Matthew Gilligan
I’m no marriage counselor, but all I can say is that I think this marriage might be on the rocks…
And the woman who’s involved in it took to Reddit to see what readers had to say about the predicament she finds herself in with her husband.
Take a look at what she had to say in the story below.
AITA for agreeing to sleep over at my parents’ house?
“I’m Sai (31F), married to Sam (38M) for 5 years, and we have a 3-year-old daughter, Savi.
It’s a rough time…
Things have been tense in our marriage, leading to arguments about divorce.
It started last Christmas when I hosted a big family gathering, planning everything meticulously.
I asked Sam to pick up the appetizers while I handled the rest, and he agreed.
On the day of the party, he forgot the appetizers, claiming he misunderstood my detailed instructions.
Furious, I felt he doesn’t listen or support me, leading to an argument where we stopped speaking.
Afterward, I stayed at my parents’ house with Savi for a few days.
On New Year’s Eve, Sam came to the party but snapped at me for not feeding Savi, saying, “Can you be a mother for once?”
It sounds like these folks need some therapy…
Days later, he told me I don’t appreciate him or do the “nice things” I used to, like massages or wearing makeup.
I explained I’m overwhelmed balancing work, parenting, and the household, but he seemed more focused on how I’d changed.
Recently, while visiting my parents, they asked me to stay the night.
I called Sam to check, and he agreed, but later called back angry, accusing me of being selfish for keeping Savi away.
Yikes.
He insisted I stay at my parents’ while he picked her up, despite me already packing to leave.
He claimed I didn’t consider how much he missed Savi, though I had asked for his opinion beforehand.
I feel like I’m carrying all the emotional and mental load, while Sam believes he’s unappreciated.
AITA for prioritizing my daughter over his expectations?”
