Introducing someone to the family is a big deal. Sometimes they don't approve of your friends, they just don't vibe with them and it's incredibly awkward when you want to have people over. But other times it can be the opposite issue. Our families usually are most loyal to us, but they can certainly get attached to our friends and significant others as well, and when those people betray you and you want to drop them from your life... Let's just say it gets messy.

    Human body - r/AmltheAsshole u/Such_Attorney6361 · 1h AITA for leaving with my husband during the dinner we had with my in laws?
    via u/Such_Attorney6361

    It was Reddit user u/Such_Attorney6361 who asked the 'Am I The A-Hole' community if they were in the wrong for abandoning a dinner with her in-laws with her husband. There is clearly more to this story. People don't usually storm out of dinners for no reason...

    Font - Throaway My husband (32m) and I (31f) have been together for 7 years and we got married last year before covid.

    Before diving into the story the OP provided some background info on her relationship with her husband. They've been together for some time already. They clearly are not in a temporary situation.

    Handwriting - My husband has a lot of female friends and some of them I'm close to but few years ago he used to have this specific one, girl best friend. He knew her since high school while he met me afterwards in life. His mom and sister always loved his girl best friend, let's name her Emma for the post.

    Hair - After the first year of being with my husband I started being closer to mil and sil and they didn't mention Emma that often.

    Handwriting - About Emma. Emma was the kind of friend who needed 100% of my husbands attention. She'd always say jokes as in, it's not too late for us to get our chance, she'd call my MIL and sil her in laws and how she's so close to them and I need to work a lot to be as worthy as her in their eyes.

    Font - One day, Emma crossed some boundaries and my husband completely cut her off. I didn't know what happened until after my husband told me. Apparently Emma tried to kiss him and claim that enough of me being her replacement and it's her time to shine now. And that my husband is meant to be with her. He told her multiple times to cut the bs before but she never listened so he completely cut her off.

    Font - My sil and mil started talking a lot about Emma after my husband went nc with her. They always begged my husband to forgive her and how it's not right to let go of this friendship. My husband told them to stop talking about Emma and how it's none of their business, since Emma never respected our relationship.

    Font - Last night my in laws had invited us over for dinner. During dinner Emma's name came up again and my SIL jokingly said something along the lines of "I talked to my baby girl Emma last night and she was telling me about some exciting trips she has coming up. Just so you know OP, I was planning for my brother to date Emma because they looked so good together but then you took him over so I could not fullfil my plans". I got upset at that and so did my husband. My husband and I got up and le

    The OP provided a possible reason they might be in the wrong

    Rectangle - We might be TA for making a fuss about it during dinner time and not handling it better

    Font - MelodyRaine · 1h Asshole Aficionado [16] NTA. It's sad that they consider unwanted sexual contact "a misunderstanding" and constantly forcing conversations about DH's assailant "a joke". There are assholes in this scenario but you and your husband are not among their number. G Reply 1 540 3 ...

    Font - SomeShamelsGood · 1h Asshole Enthusiast [6] NTA Your in laws are being disrespectful and downright mean. They've gone so far beyond anything that could be called a joke at this point. You and your husband were right to leave. G Reply 1 23 3 ...

    Font - justinwalltown • 1h Asshole Enthusiast [9] NTA. Your husband sounds awesome. He was naive to her advances, as is evidenced by: 1. rejecting her 2. telling you the actual story 3. going no contact 4. standing up for you to his own family Sounds like you found a great one to grow old with!!

    Font - Babsgarcia • 1h Asshole Aficionado [18] Absolutely NTA. They are tone deaf and inconsiderate. Your hubby should say to them: "You think I should forgive her--yet she freely admitted she always had alternative motives and at this point actively tried to end my marriage. HEAR ME: Inever have and never will have those kinds of feelings for her. What do you hope to gain except alienating me and my wife by keeping her in our lives? If you really cared about her that much - YOU would stop leadi

    Font - shanna811 · 1h NTA I think it's time your husband tells your mil and Sil that they either accept that Emma is no longer a part of your lives and is it is cruel to continue to bring her up or they can keep Emma and have no contact with you both. The son or the hussy who tries to break up marriages. Then tell them you will be going no contact until the new year to allow them to make a decision. If they pick Emma or ever mention her again it will be permanent no contact. Then block them and
