Wife Shocked After Husband Brings Mom on Anniversary Trip

A woman says her husband brought an unexpected guest — his mother — to their anniversary trip, causing her to sleep in the guest room on their final night.

In a post on Reddit, the anonymous 32-year-old writes that she and her husband booked a weekend getaway for their anniversary.

“We rarely get time alone because we both work full-time and have two little kids,” she writes. “I was beyond excited: spa, wine tasting, nice dinners.”

But when they arrived at their rental house, his mom was there.

“Apparently, he thought it would be a ‘nice surprise’ since she ‘never gets out much’ and could watch the kids while we ‘went out,’ ” she writes. “Except… she came with us to the dinners, on the vineyard tour, and even slept in the room next to us.”

The post continues: “I told him I felt like the entire trip was hijacked, and last night I ended up sleeping in the guest room because I was so upset.”

Now, she adds, her husband is mad and “saying I’m being ungrateful and dramatic since his mom ‘just wanted to spend time with us.’ ”

“Am I overreacting for being furious that my anniversary trip turned into a family vacation?” she writes in ending the post.

Other Reddit users certainly don’t think so.

Writes one commenter: “This is a case where you are probably under-reacting. Respectfully, if your husband cannot understand your point of view, and thinks you are being ‘ungrateful and dramatic,’ then you might want to ask him to go into couples therapy with you.”
