A 42-year-old woman is married to her 45-year-old husband, and together, they have a son who is 10.
Her husband entered their marriage with his daughter, now 17, and her husband had her when he married someone else.
“He’s always been super close to her, and I think she’s a great girl,” she explained. “But I always felt like he favored her over my son.”
“He buys her more stuff, goes out with her more, etc. She comes over to our house on weekends and was with us for a month but went back to her mom a few days ago.”
“He and his ex go out with her a lot, and they all have a good relationship with each other, but sometimes they go out more than our family does. But he doesn’t see her a lot, so I understand.”
She and her husband had been dating for about a month, and then she became pregnant with their son.
Her husband decided that he wanted to be there for her and raise the baby together, so several months after their son was born, she and her husband tied the knot.
Her husband has never been that close to their son, and at first, she thought it was because her husband had planned on having his daughter, but they obviously hadn’t planned on their son.
As the years went by, though, she figured her husband would stop feeling that way, but he still favors his daughter.

“He’s always treated our son well, though, and loves him a lot,” she said. “Last night, he got home and told me he had a horrible day at work.”
“I understood and just gave him space. Our son was talking to him a lot, and my husband just ignored him. I was cooking dinner when he asked to play on his phone. My husband said yes and brushed him away.”
Their son was still playing with the phone when he accidentally let it slip into the sink where she was washing up the dishes.
She didn’t see it when it dropped in, and it sat there in the water for a good 10 seconds before she noticed it was in there.
She helped try to get the water off the phone, but it was clearly broken and not turning on after going for a dip.
Her husband absolutely freaked out and started screaming at their son, even though she attempted to intervene and calm him down.
“He was yelling at him for not being more careful and being stupid,” she continued.
“What set me off was when he told my son he loves his daughter more than him and that he’s always “messing up” and that he needs to be responsible like her.”
“He and I soon got into a fight, and I was screaming at him for saying something as horrible as that. Our son was crying at what his dad said, and my husband said he’s sorry, but he (son) always breaks his stuff.”
She was so furious at her husband that she kicked him out of the house and told him to sleep at a nearby hotel.
Her husband ended up leaving as she had asked, and she was left trying to help their son feel better after being told such an awful thing.
“My husband called me this morning and said he was sorry and was just having a bad day and that he wanted to come back home,” she added.
“I told him to give me time, and he said I needed to calm down and that he was very sorry. I told him the same thing and hung up the phone.”
“My SIL (42) then called me and asked me to forgive him. She said he loves his kids equally and was just overreacting.”
She honestly isn’t sure what she should do here because she can’t believe her husband would say something like that and blame it on having a bad day.
She’s wondering if it was wrong of her to make her husband stay in a hotel though. Do you think so?
