A young woman’s trip with her in-laws doesn’t go as planned. Faced with judgments about her background and manners, she makes a choice with big consequences.
I (F26) went on a family trip with my in-laws two weeks ago.
My mother-in-law always thinks I’m “ignorant” and “uncultured” because I come from a lower-class family compared to hers, and she believes I have no manners.
When we got to the hotel, they planned a dinner at a fancy restaurant.
My husband didn’t tell me about it until the last minute when he was already dressed and ready. When I asked where he was going, he said he and his family were going out for dinner, but I wasn’t invited.
His reason?
His mom assumed that I wouldn’t know how to handle the food or act properly at such a place, so she thought it was better if I stayed at the hotel and ate there instead.
I didn’t argue; I let him leave, packed my bags, and caught the first flight home.
When my husband found out I had left, he was furious and called me nonstop.
He said I was being unreasonable and ungrateful and that I had embarrassed him in front of his family, even though he had begged me to join the trip.
