Wife Berates Her In-Laws For Leaving Their Own Son’s Wedding Early And Being Absent

Not everything revolves around you.

That is a very simple statement that many of us overlook. We believe that the world revolves around us and that we are the main character in our story. And, while our personal world revolves around us, that world only contains one individual. As a result, you must get out of your head and accept that not everything will go as planned. And for that, you must sacrifice what you are comfortable with in order to make the people who are important to you happy. Now, I’m not saying we should do whatever other people ask of us because that would turn us into doormats, but there must be a balance.

And there are some aspects of life that do not and should not take our preferences into account. In the following story, for example, the poster’s son is getting married. However, when the protagonist of this story learned that it was going to be a party rather than an intimate elopement or something of the sort, he was not too ecstatic. His reasoning? He appears to be very introverted and despises events with a passion. I understand that everyone is unique, but does it really matter what you like when your son is getting married? His needs appear to be the most important to him.

Do we even have to read the full story for this one?

I know it wouldn’t be fair to judge a book by its title so let us get the context as well.

Apparently, the father doesn’t like parties and had said as much to his son.

He told his son he was going to leave and took his wife with him.

he assumed that was it until his son’s wife contacted him and gave him an earful.

He communicated this with his son but his son wasn’t on his side either.

He did add that he cares for his son a lot but do his words really matter?

I didn’t even need to read the entire story to form an opinion because OP was clearly in the wrong from the start. I understand that introverted people typically don’t have a lot of energy for large gatherings that require a lot of socialising, but sometimes you have to put on a fake smile and get through it even if you’re uncomfortable.

It’s fine if he didn’t want to give a speech or anything, but was it really that big of a deal to stay a little longer and at least eat the food? I’m not surprised that his son and wife are upset with him, and I’m astounded that he doesn’t realise he made a mistake. He may claim to love his son, but actions speak louder than words.

People in the comments weren’t about to give him any leeway either.

It may seem harsh but it is the truth.

His preferences should not factor into it.

He actually thought he was doing great.

He isn’t making himself sound great either.

The icing on the cake is that he took his wife with him.

A wedding is an important day and he doesn’t care about his son.
