“I lost my brother in a motorcycle accident 3 weeks ago at the age of 21. This was sudden and devastating beyond measure. I live 3 towns away from my entire family and I didn’t know about it right away.

“My husband was calling when I walked into the room where my phone on vibrate and charging. I answered and he asked why I didn’t answer my sister’s calls. I asked why and whether she called him. He said yes then proceeded to tell me he received the news of a family members death from her.

“I told him I didn’t want him there after how he treated me and played my emotions like that. He said he was trying to prevent me from being traumatized and didn’t want to dish the news all of sudden.

“He wanted to come but I said I’d have kicked out if he showed up which got him pissed yelling that I had no right to rob him of saying goodbye to his favorite brother in law.

“He said my anger was misplaced and I was taking it out on him for no reason other than being the ‘bearer of the bad news’ and that nobody wants to be that person but he tried to be as nice as he could about it. I haven’t talked to him ever since despite him calling me to come home so we can talk.”

People rallied behind OP with sympathy and support and labeled her NTA

Reddit responded to the OP's post as shocked as the OP herself was and many questioned what kind of sadistic mind the husband has that he made his wife second guess a death in her family. 

People not only supported OP but also lashed out at the husband and classified his action as inhumane and pathetic. 

One wrote: “Your husband is the most colossal a***** I’ve read about here today. Who talks like that? Like it’s a game? A fun surprise!? Who could be so sadistic????

“Counselling now. If he refuses, I think you know what to do. I am so, so sorry about your brother.”

Another said: “He basically forced you to mourn everyone at once. How cruel.”

And a third said: “This is beyond cruel. Please stay away from this man.”
