Relationships are never black and white, but this one has too many shades of gray for us to get behind. This husband and wife can't seem to get on the same wavelength, and his hands may have been tied a little too long (and not in the way you'd want to be tied). His wife prioritizes everyone's input when it comes to decisions about their son, and it consistently comes before her husband's, crossing one too many red lines. If you care more about your sister's approval of your son's name than your husband's, there's definitely a lot to unpack there. But when you take it a step further and consult everyone else, but your spouse regarding your son's health, that's even worse.
Calling eight people before calling your husband when your son's in the hospital is definitely a bright red flag. Our Reddit users would have to agree. It seems like this mom favors being a single parent more than she favors having a partner to raise her child. Is this the last straw for her husband? You might need the full story before coming to your own conclusions, and we'd have to agree. Here's the lowdown on this rabbit hole of a relationship, if we've ever seen one. We don't know who's been gaslighted more, us or him. We'll let you be the judge.
