Work-life balance can become complicated for breadwinners.

This woman planned to attend a work function that conflicted with her husband’s family’s holiday plans.

She told him she would follow as soon as the work function is done.

But her husband wouldn’t agree, and is now accusing her of choosing work over family.

Is this a fair accusation? Read the full story and find out.

AITA for choosing my work function over a family function

I (25F) am the main breadwinner.

My husband (30M) is only able to make small contracts.

Due to this, I work 6 days a week and pick up any extra shift I can in order to sustain our household.

Our work function was supposed to be tomorrow.

However, due to location and weather, they pushed it to Tuesday.

This woman planned to meet her husband after her work function

Unfortunately, his family was holding a function.

I’ve told him I would meet him there after our work function.

And he now says it’s unfair and not right I am going.

Her husband is now threatening divorce.

I feel I deserve this.

I haven’t taken any days off this whole year and deserve to enjoy ending of the year with my team.

Because weve worked so hard.

To be fair, it’s his family, and his mom and I haven’t got the best relationship.

We’ve been better as of late, but he now is threatening divorce because he feels I’m putting my work above him.

She told him she could meet him on the 19th and they could stay until the 22nd.

To add to this, I’m only closing on the 19th.

His dad booked a family holiday for the 17th to 22nd.

I told him I would drive and meet him there again, so he doesn’t miss out on anything.

But he wants us to go together on the 19th.

Now, he’s blaming her company for messing up all their family functions.

He says my company has messed up all the functions with his family.

And I can’t see what the problem is.

I understand where he is coming from, but am I not being accommodating.

So, AITA?

Let’s check out the comments of other people on this story.

Lol. Here’s a funny comment.

I wouldn’t even bother to join him, says this one.

This person makes a valid point.

People are taking her side.

Finally, spot on!

Apparently, earning the bread doesn’t mean you get to enjoy it.
