She Was Not Allowed To Sit With Her Husband And His Family At Her Brother-In-Law’s Wedding, So She Left And It Caused A Massive Argument
This twenty-six-year-old woman has been married to her husband for about six months now. However, she does not have the strongest connection with his family.
It’s not like anything huge ever happened. They just don’t see each other that often or have a ton in common.
But, when she attended her brother-in-law’s wedding last week, she was still floored at how they treated her.
“It was the first in-laws’ wedding that I have attended. And I am not going to lie, I was nervous, but I hoped this would be an opportunity for me to bond with them– especially my mother-in-law,” she recalled.
And at first, everything was off to a good start. She arrived with her husband, and after greeting guests, they both sat down for the ceremony.
However, the real conflict did not begin until the reception– when everyone was told to sit down to eat.
Right before that, she decided to run to the bathroom and fix her makeup before sitting down for dinner. Once she got back, though, she saw that both of the family tables were entirely full.
In fact, her husband was sitting with his mother, father, and sisters; meanwhile, the other table was filled with extended relatives.
So, she was literally just left standing there with a totally confused look on her face until her mother-in-law stepped in. But, apparently, her mother-in-law just “motioned” for her to go sit with the rest of the “formal guests.”

“I was completely baffled at this, and I politely told my mother-in-law I’d like to sit with my family and my husband,” she said.
But, get this– her husband actually had the nerve to step in and say there was no available seat for her, his wife. And when she asked her husband why he did not just save a seat for her, he said there was nothing he could do.
Then, her husband tried urging her to go sit at a random “formal guest” table, but she understandably refused. This prompted an argument, and then his mom butted in again.
Apparently, her mother-in-law claimed she was making an “unnecessary scene” and complaining for “no good reason.” At that point, though, she was completely over the entire wedding.
So, she picked up her coat and turned around to leave. Nonetheless, her husband was seemingly not done arguing. In fact, he actually followed her out and kept telling her to stop acting immature and to go back inside.
She continued to refuse, though, and ultimately went home by herself. And once her husband arrived later that evening, she was in for an even bigger argument.
He claimed that his entire family was utterly embarrassed by her behavior and that she caused a massive scene at his brother’s wedding for no reason.
“But I said I was not going to sit by and be excluded like that,” she vented.
Nonetheless, her husband claimed that everyone was a guest at his brother’s wedding and that she should have respected that.
On top of that, she also learned how her mother-in-law and sister-in-law made comments about her being oversensitive and having attachment issues since she could not sit away from her husband for thirty minutes.
In turn, she and her husband continued fighting back and forth until, finally, they just stopped talking to each other altogether.
So now, she has been left feeling really flustered about the entire situation. She does not think it was right for her husband’s family to single her out and exclude her.
However, after hearing what his entire family thought of her reaction, she is not sure if leaving the wedding was the wrong thing to do.
Why do you think her in-laws excluded her? Would you have been furious with your husband also? How would you have handled this situation?
