Imagine finally reaching your vacation spot, ready for days filled with romance and peace with your wife. But then, she remembers she forgot something. And guess what? She expects you to drive HOURS back home to fetch it. Every husband’s nightmare, right? Well, it became a reality for this Reddit user. Here’s the full story…
The Background
The Original Poster (OP) explains that he and his wife were on a long weekend away together without their kids. It started fine. They dropped the kids at OP’s parent’s place, then drove a few hours to their rental property. However, the problems began soon after…
She’d Forgotten Something
OP says the drive went well. But when they arrived and started unpacking, his wife realized she’d forgotten something. Her probiotics were nowhere to be found.
They Had Different Opinions
No big deal, right? They weren’t away for long – surely it couldn’t be that important? That’s what OP thought, anyway. But no. His wife freaked out, then started shouting at him when he suggested she’d be okay for a couple of nights. Apparently he “just doesn’t understand how important these probiotics are to her health.”
The Trip’s “Ruined”
OP told his wife he could just go to a vitamin shop the next morning and pick some new ones up. Wrong again, apparently. His wife said that wouldn’t work because the store wouldn’t stock the brand she needed. No, for her, this meant one thing: the vacation’s “ruined.” She wanted to go home…
OP Took a Breather, Then Got a Shock
OP said he was “beyond exasperated” at that point, so decided to go and take a shower. Unfortunately for him, things only got worse when he was done. When he got out of the shower, his wife wanted him to go and get her the antibiotics she needed. The issue? It’d be an hour’s drive in each direction…
OP Refused
OP was unwilling to spend that long in the car. After all, their house was only 1.5 hours away. He might as well drive back home to get them and save the cost of buying new ones. So he put his foot down and said no. He “told her she would be fine for 48 hours.”
Now She’s Livid
His wife wasn’t happy about that at all. She called him an a****** and is now giving him the cold shoulder. Some vacation, huh? OP wanted a second opinion from the people on Reddit. Was he the bad guy here?
Reddit’s On His Side
Unsurprisingly, everyone on Reddit agreed that his wife was in the wrong. The top comment reads:
“Why couldn’t she drive home for the probiotics and let you relax? She forgot them, then yelled at you. Does she usually take out her frustrations on you?” Someone else then chimed in to say, “She can drive to get them herself if it’s THAT important. It’s not your fault she forgot them.”
There Must Be Something Else Going On
Someone else on Reddit said “It sounds like something else is going on.” In other words, his wife’s behavior was so unreasonable that it can’t just be about the probiotics! They didn’t hazard any guesses, but the comment garnered over 20,000 upvotes, suggesting many others agree.
How Important Are the Probiotics?
Others honed in on the probiotics. If they were for some serious health concern, then his wife’s reaction might be more justifiable. Someone asked, “What health condition does she have that makes the probiotics so vital? What will happen if she doesn’t take them for 48 hrs?” OP replied, “Absolutely nothing. She’ll be fine.”
She’s the Problem
Whether something else was going on or not, almost everyone agreed his wife’s was the villain of the story. One person wrote, “If it’s ruined, it’s because she ruined it. She should drive back, not you.” Another said, “Maybe y’all should consider separate vacations in the future; a little time alone.” And a third simply said, “Your wife sounds like a real piece of work.”
What Do You Think?
So whose side are you on? Do you sympathize with OP and think his wife’s the bad guy? Or is there another perspective everyone’s missing? Is there anything that makes you feel sorry for his wife? Drop a comment with your thoughts.
