When one woman shared her concern about a looming layoff, she was surprised when her husband reacted with cold detachment instead of comfort.

AITA for snapping at my husband?

I, 63F, just found out that I might lose my job soon.

There’s all sorts of uncertainty whirling around in her professional life.

My company is downsizing and some will be offered early retirement, others will be eliminated outright, and still others will be unaffected.

I won’t know which group I will be in for three weeks.

But when she confided this in her husband, he had an unexpected reaction.

When I shared the news with my husband of 31 years, 62M, he was irritated that I shared the news and said he would rather I kept this to myself until I had an official answer so he didn’t have to worry about it.

So she lashes out in retaliation and now things are tense.

I was very irritated and told him he was being selfish and unsupportive by expecting me to handle this on my own.

Now he’s sulking.

AITA?

Now she’s dealing with uncertainty both at home and at work.

What did Reddit make of all this?

There was absolutely no reason her husband should have behaved this way.

There’s a million things her husband should have done.

This user is wondering what may have led to this reaction.

This husband isn’t taking this situation as seriously as it needs to be taken.

She had hoped sharing her burden could bring the couple closer together, but it seems it’s only pushed them apart.

While her job status remains unknown, one thing feels increasingly clear: In a moment of vulnerability, the person closest to her chose coldness over compassion.
