A woman hoped a family getaway would help her bond with her in-laws but instead felt deeply unwelcome. After asking her husband to join their annual retreat, she was initially met with mild surprise but accepted. However, on the third day, she overheard a conversation where her mother-in-law questioned why she was there, and her husband admitted he didn’t want her to come.
Heartbroken, she left early, and her husband accused her of being disrespectful. After sharing her experience on Reddit, she received validation from users who agreed her husband’s lack of support and the family’s disrespectful behavior were major red flags. Many shared similar experiences of exclusion, questioning her husband’s sincerity and defending her decision to leave.
