She Went Away On A Girl’s Trip To Greece Instead Of Taking Care Of Her Husband After He Got His Wisdom Teeth Removed, So Her Mother-In-Law Called Her A Horrible Wife
For the past year and a half, this 24-year-old woman has been planning a girl’s trip to Greece with her sisters and two friends.
However, several months ago, her husband found out that he needed to get his wisdom teeth removed, and his doctor provided him with multiple date options for the surgery.
“One for three months ago, one for the week I would be gone, and two or three options in October,” she recalled.
At the time, her husband’s clinic was booking up fast, and he was in pain. That’s why she told him to make the earliest available appointment.
Not only would it help resolve his pain quicker, but it would prevent him from going into surgery while she was out of the country.
Well, to her dismay, her husband opted not to take the first open date – claiming it was “too soon” and that he “wasn’t mentally prepared.” After that, she figured he would just wait to get his wisdom teeth removed until October.
Spoiler alert: that didn’t happen. Rather, only three weeks before she left for her trip to Greece, her husband announced that he’d booked the surgery for the week of her vacation.
“And he’d need me to stay home and take care of him,” she revealed.
But she flat-out told her husband that she wasn’t going to cancel her travels and gave him two options. He could either get someone else to help him after the procedure or change the surgery to a later date.

This sparked an argument between them, and in the end, they decided that her mother-in-law would step in while she was away in Greece.
Once she returned home just yesterday, though, it became clear that both her husband and her mother-in-law were still angry over this.
That’s because her mother-in-law actually confronted her and accused her of being a horrible wife for “neglecting” her husband and choosing her friends over him. Her husband is still upset, too, and the rest of her in-laws have apparently taken his side.
“I feel like he had several options and knew fully well that I wouldn’t be home on the date he chose. That he sprung it on me way too last minute to change my plans or get any kind of refund, and I made it clear I would be going,” she vented.
Regardless, her husband firmly believes that he was forced to pick that specific week since the first date was “too soon” and the later dates were too far away.
And now, with him and his whole family furious at her, she’s been left wondering if going away on her girl’s trip anyway instead of taking care of her husband after the surgery was really such a jerky move.
Is her husband at fault for booking the surgery during her trip, which was planned so far in advance? Would you have canceled your vacation for this or not?
