“When we arrived home, my husband point blank asked Tom how old he was, and Tom said he was 44,” she recalled.
“I was immediately disgusted, as he’s only two years younger than my husband and old enough to be Ellie’s father. My husband continued to interrogate him, asking how they met and the whole background.”
Ellie told her and her husband that she met Tom at a party; they had a lot in common and hit it off. She could hardly listen to any more of their back story, and her husband eventually snapped and told Tom to leave.
Ellie begged them to give Tom a chance, saying he made her extremely happy and that their attitude toward him was unfair.
“Tom could sense the tension, so he left, and Ellie followed behind him,” she added.
“I texted Ellie to tell her we’d love to see her and to come over to discuss the situation. She asked if Tom was welcome, and I said he wasn’t.”
Ellie became angrier and told her that she and Tom would be staying at a local hotel, catching up with some of her hometown friends instead of returning home.
While she doesn’t want to lose her close bond with Ellie and feels bad about all the drama, her husband refuses to have Tom in their home, and she still isn’t thrilled about their relationship.
