A woman has shared a furious rant about her husband as she detailed the fiery argument they got into after he invited his mom on a two-week couples’ getaway without consulting her.
The unnamed woman took to Reddit to air out her issues with her spouse as she admitted that she and her partner – whom she did not name – were ‘digital nomads’ who live in the US.
In a thread titled Am I the A**hole, the exasperated wife detailed the rage she felt when she discovered her mother-in-law would be joining them on their couple’s trip.
She explained that she was ‘completely left out of the decision,’ adding that as a ‘married couple’ they should have discussed it together.
The enraged woman questioned if she was in the wrong for expressing her concerns and revealed that her husband even threatened to divorce her if she didn’t ‘accept his mom.’

The post was titled: ‘Am I the a**hole for getting into an argument with my husband after he booked tickets for his mom to come on a two-week trip with us without asking me first?’
She explained that she and her spouse loved to travel all around the world.
‘So my husband and I live in the United States, but we’re digital nomads so we like to spend six-month periods traveling abroad we traveled last year to Thailand and now this year we’re in Brazil exploring the northeast then going south.
‘We are Brazilians so our whole family lives in this country,’ the woman said. She noted that they had planned to travel around Brazil on a romantic getaway.
However, their loved-up trip was interrupted when her husband revealed that his mom would be joining them for two weeks.
She explained: ‘We’re doing different periods of time in different cities. We already did Fortaleza (one month), and now we’re doing São Luiz (10 days), then Maceió (two weeks), then other cities in the south then each of us are going our separate ways to be in our hometowns for two months. It’s just me, him, and our baby dog, enjoying our mighty time as couples.
‘However, just last night during dinner I found out that him and his mom decided BY THEMSELVES that she should come the entire two-week trip to Maceió.
‘Two weeks, with my mother-in-law, in a tiny apartment. There is no going back, the decision has been made, flights booked and everything.

‘Now I understand that him and his mom live in different countries, and they miss each other… but he is going to spend two MONTHS with her in his hometown at the end of the trip anyways, so that’s plenty of time to enjoy her company.’
The anonymous spouse noted that she was angry that her husband didn’t consult her first – adding that they should have discussed it before he purchased the tickets.
She added: ‘My point is: I was completely left out of the decision. I believe as a married couple you should consult each other first before making decisions like this. Maybe asking, “Babe, would you be ok if I brought my mom along to Maceió? For the whole two weeks?”‘
The Reddit user noted that she would have been okay with her husband’s mom coming for one week, however, she was hurt that he didn’t even think to ask her for her input.
She added: ‘This is a huge lack of respect for me because it shows that my opinion doesn’t matter and that he’s gonna do whatever he wants regardless of what I think and how I feel. As if I just had to suck it up and accept it.’
At the end of the post, she revealed that their argument took a shocking turn when she confronted her husband about it and that he even threatened to divorce her if she didn’t accept that his mother was joining them.
She added: ‘So this is what happened when I found out: Immediately I got into an argument with him during dinner (I was very discreet) where I was clearly angry. I was telling him how upset and offended I am that I was completely left out of the decision.
People on the web flooded the comments section and ran to the woman’s defense as they slammed her husband
‘He got extremely offended that I wasn’t 100 per cent happy and excited that his mom is spending the two weeks with us (he believes I should be, even though it was a surprise to me), and he even went as far as physically removing his wedding band as a way of showing ‘either you accept my mom or we can go our separate ways.’
‘Later after dinner he even said things like “if you and I get divorced we’re sharing Penny (our dog).” LIKE???!!!! Excuse me, sir?!’
The unnamed woman then questioned if she was an ‘a**hole’ for sparking an argument about the situation.
People on the web flooded the comments section and ran to the woman’s defense as they slammed her husband.
One person said: ‘It sounds to me like he’s going to the extreme so she’ll back down. This is incredibly manipulative. And there IS “going back.” They may lose money but this is not a done deal. It may be for their marriage though. This man has zero respect for OP and that is a real relationship killer.’
Someone else added: ‘Not the a**hole. This dude is an a**hole. First for not asking you if his mom could travel with and second for his over the top, stupid and petty theatrics.
‘Taking off his wedding ring? Giving you ultimatums? Asking about shared custody of your dog? Girl f**k that noise. I seriously would not travel with them. This is beyond petty, cruel and controlling. He’s telling you to do what his wants without question or he will divorce you. This is not a kind person. F**k him and his mom. I’d change my ticket and go back home. This is just too much disrespect for me.’
Another user wrote: ‘If you can, keep the dog. Leave the husband.’
‘Give him the divorce he wants. The lack of respect is disgusting. Not the a**hole,’ someone else added.
One user commented: ‘Call his bluff. Get those divorce papers. He doesn’t value you or your marriage if he’s willing to use it as a bargaining chip.’
