HER HUSBAND HAD ASKED HER AT THANKSGIVING DINNER THAT WHY SHE DOESN’T DANCE FOR HIM
A woman had shared her story on Reddit’s r/AITA subreddit, which she had stated that her husband had asked her that why she doesn’t dance for him, when she comes home from work, and she had answered as she humiliated him in front of his family.
They here was a conversation of Zumda dance at the Thanksgiving dinner, “We were at my inlaws house for thanksgiving dinner and every family member was able to make it. We were at dinner table when my BIL started talking about his girlfriend’s new fond hobby which is “dancing” and said she’s been dancing for him every night after she gets back from her “Zumba” classes. The men in the family “clearly” got intetested and they kept talking about it in details as me and other women were just rolling our eyes.”
Then her husband had asked her the weird question. “My husband then and all of a sudden just threw his fork and looked at me and said “HEY Jess! (fake name) Why Can’t You Dance For ME When You Come Home Every Night Like (BIL’s gf name) Does?”. I was blown away by his question and really thought he was joking but no. I looked around and saw everyone staring at me with my cousin in law sarcastically singing the ‘dance monkey’ song.”
Then she had responded to her husband, as she wanted to give him a proper response. “I flipped out and said “I don’t know, maybe because when I get home I cook then start my cleaning routine then feed the kids dinner then do the dishes then get our 8 months old to sleep then clean the messy bathroom and bedroom then suddenly fall asleep the minute I get in the bed from being exhausted from working on my feet all day long then coming back to messy home and demanding kids and a husband…God what a terrible wife I must be to not find time to dance”
As everyone was shocked, he was devastated with the answer. “He froze in his place and the entire table got quite then my SIL’s jerk, cop husband who hates my husband’s guts started laughing then said “Good God!!!, guess turkey…I mean chicken’s really coming home to roost, huh?!”. My husband’s face was so pale he just told everyone after noticing how awkward things got that he needed a minute outside.”
As he went out, his wife had went out with him, and they left to their house. “He got up and walked out and I followed him and he flipped out at me saying great job making thanksgiving awkward and embarrassing him infront of his family like that. An argument ensued and he said he wanted to leave after I caused him to be in an awkward position infront of family.”
She concluded as, “We got home and he shut down completely. I stayed with the kids and couldn’t sleep even after I called my MIL (his stepmom) saying good on me for calling him out as he stepped out of line but she could be bias since she hates his guts too and I just felt guilty when I think about what happened thinking I mishandled the situation and ruined thanksgiving for everyone.”
Here are some of the comments of Redditors.
“NTA. Your husband’s poor joke led to a response he didn’t like, and now he’s butthurt.”
“Oof. You’re still NTA and now I’m more concerned about who you are married to.”
“”She hates his guts too.” Emphasis on the too? OP what about you, do you hate his guts? NTA of course.”
