One thing about us is we'll never stay with a man that puts in 0 effort, places all the responsibility on us, and refuses to stand up to his parents. We know, relationships with the in-laws are never a walk in the park. Especially, if your husband is a man-child that's been spoiled all of his life and expects you to do the same. But at one point or another, we need to put our foot down and demand some damn respect. At one point or another, your husband needs to realize that he's no longer a child and is a full-on adult in a seriously committed relationship, so it's time to start acting like it. 

And that's exactly what we have in store for y'all. A super messy marriage story that took place over the holidays. We're not going to spoil the details for y'all but all we can say is damn, these two need some serious intervention time with a therapist.

    Font - My husband (33) "Al" is the only son in his family. He's spoiled af by his mom and 3 sisters. The way I see it they're treat him like royals, call him "heir", gift him expensive stuff. Prince level treatment. I didn't have an issue with it at first since they consider it "showing love and appreciation". But I used to get into a lot of arguments with his mom and sisters about not making efforts to treat him the way they treat him.

    Font - Basically they claim I'm not showing "the same level of respect" they show him and because of that I got disinvited from lots of events including christmas. Al's stance is to stay out of it and when I complained about his family disinviting me from christmas, he said he couldnot force them to have guests they didn't want.

    Font - On the morning of his flight he slept in and didn't wake up on time. He woke up freaking out and yelling about me being petty and not waking him up before his flight after he asked me to. The reason I didn't wake him up was because I myself was asleep to. Why would I wake up early just to wake him up? His phone was away since he hates sleeping nearby elecronics. He left in a rush and tried to get on another flight but failed due to airports being packed.

    What is up with men and their inability to wake up on their own? Literally, why would she wake you up if she's not even going?

    Font - As a result he missed christmas celebration with family. His mom and sisters are pissed claiming I did this to get back at them and to isolate him from them. Al thinks I acted petty and vicious when I could've woke him up to go be with his family. He's still mad and is claiming that I ruined the holidays for him.

    Sounds like a big ol' drama queen to us. If the trip was as important as he claims, he should've made more effort into waking up on time. Gooood byeeee

You're not a human alarm clock for a guy in his mid-30s. This IS about your husband allowing his family to exclude you. He's treating you terribly. Why are you putting up with it? He gets 2 business cards: one for a marriage counselor, one for a divorce lawyer. He can pick who he'd like you to call. ΝΤΑ

    Font - Cryptographer_Alone · 6 days ago Partassipant [3] This dudebro can't even set his own alarm. Are we sure he's capable of using his phone to call out instead of just accepting incoming calls? In all seriousness, yes, it should be the husband/child who calls, but that potentially traps OP if he chooses not to act. OP calling forces him to make a choice: the therapist or the divorce lawyer. Lack of choice defaults to OP's choice in who to call, not continuing with the status quo by calling n

    Font - IAmTheNightSoil . 5 days ago I just can't imagine not standing up for your own wife when your family refuses to invite her for Christmas. "Hey hon, my mom said she doesn't want you over for Christmas due to a pointless grudge that she has against you. So, I'm going to go visit her without you and leave you to spend Christmas alone."

    Font - And then for him to expect HER to wake up him because he doesn't like having electronics near him when sleeping? "Hey hon, it's your job to wake me up to go on a trip that you weren't invited on." I literally was more mature than that when I was fifteen. This dude is unsalvageable

    Font - acegirl1985 6 days ago 'Staying out of it' means they're totally on board with it and letting their family do their dirty work. This dude probably wines to mommy and his sisters about her and they act like his little flying monkeys and try to push her into 'treating him how he should be treated'. NTA and I can't imagine why you're putting up with this dude.

    Font - Bored-lost-angry. 6 days ago Me too! I am so sick of reading how someone's partner will allow their family to exclude them. Simply unacceptable behavior when in a committed relationship.
