Chantal expected her husband to stand by her and offer support, particularly in difficult or embarrassing situations. However, when she was abruptly uninvited to a wedding, he chose to attend without her. The reason for her exclusion deeply hurt Chantal, leading her to seek advice.
Chantal’s account:
“My husband’s cousin is getting married. She lives abroad but is hosting her wedding here with her entire family. Naturally, both my husband and I were initially invited. However, just three days before the wedding, she contacted me to ask that my husband come without me, and he agreed. I was already disappointed, but my husband’s decision to still attend the wedding made things worse. I confronted him, asking, ‘Where’s your pride? Why won’t you stand up for your wife?’
He smirked and replied, ‘I’m going alone. You weren’t invited because the groom is your ex-fiancé. My cousin just found out and feels uncomfortable having you there.’
I was shocked. My engagement happened years before I met my husband, and we’ve never discussed my ex because he’s a part of my past. I feel the decision to exclude me was incredibly rude, and I believe my husband should support me instead of choosing to go. It’s not my fault that his cousin is marrying my ex, and I haven’t done anything wrong.”
