My husband and I got married last spring. He begged his boss for two weeks off for our honeymoon, planned everything three months ahead, hotels, flights, the whole deal. The night before we were supposed to leave, my period came. I told him, and he just stared at me.<\/p>\n
Then he said, \u201cYou had one job.\u201d Like I control my body like an app. He grabbed his keys and left. I sat there in shock for a minute. Then I smiled. Because I realized something.<\/p>\n
If this is how he reacts to something I cannot control, what happens when life throws real problems at us? Kids, illness, job loss? I was done. I didn\u2019t cry. I didn\u2019t call him.<\/p>\n
Instead, I called his mother. I told her exactly what her son said to me on the eve of our honeymoon. Word for word. Then I called my sister and started packing. Not my bags. His.<\/p>\n
Hours later, he came back ready to apologize. Flowers in hand. Sweet voice. He opened the door and froze. His mother was sitting at the kitchen table with the angriest face I\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n
His bags were by the door. And I was calmly sipping tea. He looked at me and whispered, \u201cWhat is this?\u201d I said, \u201cThis is me having one job. And doing it well.\u201d<\/p>\n
He\u2019s been staying at his friend\u2019s place for two weeks now. His mom calls me daily to check on me and apologize for raising him like that. He keeps texting that he \u201cdidn\u2019t mean it\u201d and I \u201ctook it too far.\u201d But here\u2019s what keeps me up at night.<\/p>\n
If I forgive this, what\u2019s next? What else will I be expected to just swallow and move on from? Am I crazy for not giving him a second chance?<\/p>\n
Or did I just save myself from years of being blamed for things I can\u2019t control? I need to know, what would you have done if your husband had said that to you on your honeymoon night?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
