Man Wants A Personal Invitation To Christmas At In-Laws, Gets Himself And His Wife Uninvited And Tries To Put The Blame On Her

Holiday season comes with joy and celebrations and family reunions, but with family get togethers comes lots of family drama. Every family has a few members who like to create problems from benign situations because of their inflated egos and negativity, which puts a damper on the celebrations. Such is the experience of a Reddit user who shared how her husband got angry that his in-laws didn’t send him a separate invitation to their Xmas celebration.

Reddit

She started with a preface telling how her husband usually doesn't get along with his in-laws.

And he finds it "disrespectful" that he didn't get a separate invitation for the Christmas celebration from his in-laws.

And now the man-child doesn't wanna go until he gets his own invitation. But his in-laws are not bowing to his demand.

Reddit

And instead of telling her husband off, OP is trying to have his childish demands met just because he's "sensitive".

OP's dad finds this move humiliating but OP thinks it's a "small issue'.

So, OP decided to take her husband's side and told them she won't attend it too, if he won't get an invitation. She even got in an argument with her sister who tried to make her understand the ridiculousness of the situation.

Reddit

Now, they're waiting for her family's response.

Later, she updated that both of them have been uninvited from the celebration, and her husband is blaming her for it. 

Reddit

Reddit users passed a unanimous verdict on the situation, calling both of them the a*****e for creating this drama and putting a damper on family's celebration. Now both will bear the consequence of a manchild's inflated ego and celebrate Christmas without the merriness of family.

Reddit

They also taught her how invitations work and condemned her for enabling her husband and condoning his behaviour.

Most arguments and disagreements between people stem from a lack of clear boundaries. You should be on the same page as your partner, in terms of your in-laws. You’ve got to play as a team, otherwise, your relationship might suffer.
