What would you do? *husband’s selfish decision*
EDIT 5/14 in comments ❤️
My husband and I live across the country from our families. Both our families live in the same city and have dying family members.
My husband is excluding me from a family trip to go see our dying family members. Yup, I’m serious.
My husbands grandma suddenly broke her hip and her dementia is getting bad and he thinks she’s gonna die any day, while my mother has 5 different cancers, also just broke her hip, and was given 4 months to live almost a year ago so I know she is gonna die any day. But instead of buying plane tickets for the family, he only bought two plane tickets for him and our son and told me the dates of their trip!
He told me he doesn’t want me to go on this family trip with him specifically because he wants to spend time with his hometown friends as well and thinks I would “ruin and restrict” that. because of my husband selfish need to visit his friends on a “family” vacation for the amount of time he desires, I’m restricted to maybe never seeing my mother again before she dies.
****For reference:****
*The price to have added me to this trip he’s already paid for when he booked it: $400 (although now it’s too late I got two weeks notice from him and couldn’t get the time off work or a plane ticket)
*The price to book a separate trip for me and my son to go see my family after they get back from this trip: $2000+
So he’s made it damn near impossible for us to afford for me to go see my mom after his trip, and did I mention he’s got A BOYS VACATION TO UNIVERSAL ORLANDO STUDIOS with his friends in August? And that’s of course already had deposits and plane tickets paid for.
My husband hasn’t always been perfect but he’s definitely been better than this! I feel like I’m spiraling into a black hole of “he doesn’t care about me or my mom, he doesn’t love me that’s why he’s doing this, he’s not worth being married to anymore if this is how it’s gonna be, he doesn’t see how much this hurts me and never will”
Please without bashing, and in all honesty if someone you share a child, house, car and everything with after 8 years, what would you do?
