Father of 2 refuses to take PTO during Spring Break so that entitled wife can go on vacation with her affair partner: “She prioritizes her boyfriend over her children”

Not every job in North America guarantees paid time off. Unlike Europeans who codified 4 weeks of vacation time per year into their labor laws, employees across the pond have to choose their job carefully if they want a reasonable amount of PTO. Days off vary from employer to employer. Entry-level workers are rarely allowed vacations days and are lucky if they even get sick days – I know I sure didn't when I was a waitress! However, most jobs that require a college degree or some years of experience can offer about a week off per year, which increases the longer one stays at the company.
In our story today, a woman demands that her husband request time off from his work during Spring Break. She's planning an exciting and relaxing vacation but not with him nor with their children; she just wants a free babysitter while she takes a trip with her affair partner. Scroll down to get the full story!

Our protagonist's wife is incredibly entitled to ask for this! It would be one thing if they were already divorced, and she wanted to go on vacation with her new partner. However, she is literally asking her husband for a favor to make it easier for her to have fun with the man that helped destroy their marriage.
