I Accidentally Overheard My Husband Talking about Me to His Family & I Still Can’t Digest It
A trip that was meant to be an opportunity to build a relationship with her in-laws turned into a crushing realization of feeling unwelcome in her husband’s family during their annual vacation
The early stages of marriage can be a transition, especially when trying to fit into your spouse’s family. This woman was still trying to navigate her place in her husband’s family, but in the end, she was heartbroken and felt even more displaced.
The woman took to Reddit to share how it all unfolded. She explained that she and her husband had not been married long, so she had not spent much time with his family. However, her in-laws had an annual family vacation, and this year she asked her husband if she could join.
The husband was hesitant, but his wife argued it would be a great opportunity for her to get to know them better and for them to work toward building a relationship. Consequently, the husband agreed. Upon their arrival, she realized the family was a bit surprised to see her but still welcomed her.
Things were going well, but the truth came out on the third day of the vacation. The husband, along with his brother, mother, father, and other spouses, were sitting outside while the Redditor was inside preparing a fruit salad.
As she walked toward the door, she heard her mother-in-law say, “Did she really have nowhere else to spend the weekend?” At first, the wife did not know who she was referring to, so she stopped to listen further and heard her husband say, “I know!!! And I didn’t want to bring her with me, but what was I supposed to do?!!! You know how pushy she can get.” She instantly figured it was about her.
The statement shattered her heart, and she almost dropped the bowl of salad she was holding. “This whole time I was there, I cleaned, cooked, looked after the kids, and this is how they think of me? An inconvenience to them?” she expressed.
The original poster (OP) could not see herself spending another day with the family, especially after discovering her presence was unwanted. So, she quickly booked the next flight out. Her husband texted but did not respond; she simply told him she had made it home safely.
When he got home, he was extremely angry at his wife and told her she was “disrespectful and juvenile.” The OP told him that she had overheard what he said to his mother, but he still blamed her for eavesdropping and said his family was slowly warming up to her.
In the end, the wife started feeling bad, thinking she might have ruined the vacation for everyone. Thus, she turned to fellow Reddit users and asked if she was right to leave the family vacation after she heard what her husband said about her.
Por el contrario, la historia del OP enfureció a muchos comentaristas. Los lectores creyeron que la OP hizo bien en irse porque escuchó a su suegra hablar mal de ella y su esposo no la defendió, lo cual fue una gran señal de alerta para muchos lectores.
Otro comentarista simplemente preguntó: “¿Le gustas siquiera?”. mientras que otro añadió: “NTA. Por favor, no dejes que te engañe”. Otro lector se sorprendió de que la OP estuviera siendo tratada de esta manera cuando era esposa, no una novia con la que su esposo había estado saliendo durante dos semanas.
Una lectora compartió que había experimentado una situación similar con su exmarido. Ella dijo que él solía ir de vacaciones con otra familia, y cuando ella pidió unirse, su esposo le dijo que era “solo familia”. La mujer se dio cuenta de que su esposo nunca consideró a su familia, por lo que pasó esa semana con sus amigos y cuando él regresó de sus vacaciones, le entregó los papeles del divorcio.
Lo que fue aún más impactante para los Redditors fue que a todos los demás cónyuges se les permitió ir de vacaciones familiares, excepto a ella. “ANTA. ¿Otros cónyuges son bienvenidos pero tú no? ¿¿Qué demonios está pasando aquí??” señaló un comentarista.
Aquí hay una historia sobre una mujer que no podía creer lo que su prometido les dijo a sus amigos después de la muerte de su abuela.
