Weddings often come with expectations, both spoken and unspoken.

But for one man, those expectations turned into demands when he found out his wife promised his truck to his brother-in-law without even asking his permission.

The ensuing argument brought years of resentment to the surface.

Read on for the full story.

AITA for not letting my brother in law to use my truck

I (42M) have a brother-in-law who is getting married and has his Stag and Doe this weekend.

But he soon finds out he’s been entirely left out of the planning process.

Through the whole process, he has discussed details about the event with my wife but never with me, even though apparently I’m supposed to do things at the event—which I’ve only been told about by my wife.

There was one very important detail he’d missed.

Yesterday when I came home, I overheard them talking about using my truck to move things to and from the event.

So he and his wife began to fight about this.

When I brought this up to my wife, she said that she told her brother it was okay.

I said no, it’s not, because they didn’t come and ask me directly and it’s rude to assume I’d be okay with that.

This led to a huge fight where I was told I’m an AH and not to come to the event if I’m not willing to help.

So, AITA?

This fight was about way more than the right to use a truck.

What did Reddit think?

This commenter thinks his wife should pay for her selfishness.

On the other hand, enforcing this boundary could just lead to more trouble in their marriage.

Sounds like there are some deeper issues at play here.

Partnerships mean good communication, and that’s something his wife was definitely lacking.

He didn’t find it fair to be dragged into plans he never agreed to, and somehow speaking his mind made him the villain in his wife’s eyes.

At the end of the day, all he really wanted was a little respect.
