It's crazy what people will do for attention. We know that babies will cry, we know that dogs will bark, and now I guess we know that husbands will…fake falling down the stairs so their wives can come home and take care of them!

 

That's what happened to this Redditor, who shared her story via this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit. Her hubby had been sick for a few days, and after taking care of him 24/7, she decided to let him stay home while she attended her own brother's wedding. Seems like a good compromise to me. He doesn't need to go, and she gets to take one day off from playing caretaker to be there for her brother. Well apparently, that wasn't sufficient for Husband of the Century, who not only faked an emergency to get the Redditor to come home but also pulled the "I warned you something like this could happen" card. 

 

You've probably guessed correctly by now that this dude is still in his early 20s, but to be honest, this story had me questioning if he was still in grade school. We've seen plenty of other instances of marriage drama recently. This husband spent his anniversary without his own wife and then bragged about it.

    Font - AITA for losing it on my husband for lying about an emergency to get me to leave my brother's wedding early? Not the A-hole My husband has been sick for few days. He got sicm around the time of my brother's wedding. I took care of him 24hrs for days. He's on meds and can move and go to the bathroom and eat on his own. I told him I was going to my brother's wedding and he threw a fit saying I couldn't leave him alond while he's sick. I told him he was not that sick, it's just some stomache

    Font - At the wedding, I got a text from him saying he lost balance and fell off the stairs and hurt his back. He said he was in a lot of pain he threw up and couldn't move, and insisted I get home asap. I freaked out and started calling his phone but he didn't answer. I thought "he must've passed out" and I freaked out even more. I got in my car and drove back to our house immediately.

    Font - When I got home, I rushed towards the stairs while calling out his name but he wasn't there. I started to really freak out. I rushed into the bedroom and found him in bed drinking juice and soon as he saw me he put the phone down. I instantly knew he lied so I lost it on him and started yelling saying he freaked me out and caused me to miss my brother's wedding for nothing...absolutely nothing. He said that he already told me I couldn't leave him alone in the house and that this "very sce

    Font - He started crying and throwing his juice all over the place. I had to step out and call his sister thinking she'd come help but she came and started cussing me out saying I had a lot of nerve expecting her to back me up after I so carelessly left her brother alone af the house in that state just to attend a party. We got into an argument and I went to stag with my family. My brother understood whrn I explained the situation to him. My husband and I haven't seen each other since then but h

    Font - thingsarelookingup2 21 hr. ago+ 22 & 7 More Partaipant [4] Sis, get out of this relationship. This is only the tip of the iceberg of what he is going to pull when you do not do as he says when he says it. He is a controlling person, highly highly manipulative and is actively seeking to destroy your relationship with your family. Lets be clear - this was about control.

    Font - It is so sick. SO sick! That he would do this. In a functional family, a sibling's wedding is sacrosanct. You move heaven and earth to be there, to be there to support your sibling and to celebrate the start of their new life with their spouse. Your husband hurt your brother, pulling you away from what should have been about him and his wife. He created a scene because i can guarantee that the conversation became about your husband's injury and the emergency. He robbed you of special time

    Font - This would destroy any trust i had in my spouse permanently. If a person is so highly manipulative that they could pull this crap, I'd be gone. Please please please seriously consider where your future with him is going. A person like your husband will do this again - it could be calling your boss at work to get you fired because you can't go on a work trip with him, it could be destroying friendships with close friends because he doesn't like them. It WILL be isolating you from your fami

    Font - docasj 21 hr. ago What caught my attention first is that making someone drive when they're that emotional can actually be dangerous. He's claiming that he could've actually fallen down the stairs alone while ignoring she could've gotten into an accident because of her emotional state. Both are in the realm of possibility something can't be ser past his own ego and care for her safety? 5.6k Share
