She Threw A Drink On Her Mother-In-Law’s Dress And Is Considering Divorcing Her Husband After They Both Made Terrible Comments About Her Son
This forty-eight-year-old woman has always had a fantastic relationship with her husband, Harry. They started dating during high school, immediately fell head over heels, and have remained crazy about each other ever since.
On the other hand, her mother-in-law has not been the easiest person to get along with.
She always knew that Harry’s mother did not like her. After all, it’s not like her mother-in-law tried to hide it.
“When she wouldn’t say it outright, she would ‘slyly’ try to set Harry up with her friends’ children,” she recalled.
“I could also go into the time she tried to leave me stranded on a ski trip. But, that’s a story for another time.” Yikes!
Anyway, she and Harry have a seventeen-year-old son named Dustin– and Dustin came out as gay just over two years ago.
Unfortunately, though, Harry did not take his son’s news well. Instead, Harry actually complained for several weeks– making comments about how he “lost a son” and how he “spent all this time for nothing.”
So, obviously, Dustin was devastated, and she was beyond angry at her husband. And honestly, Harry’s behavior pushed her to almost pack her bags and leave him.
However, Harry’s comments did subside after a while, and things in her immediate family seemed to be on the mend. But then, it came time for a big family reunion with all of their extended family members.

For context, Harry’s family always used to throw a massive family reunion every single year. But, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the reunions were canceled. Well, until this year.
And before the reunion happened last week, Harry told Dustin that the event would be the perfect setting to come out to the rest of their family. Plus, Harry apparently even said that he would help Dustin make the announcement.
“I was against the idea. But, my son was not uncomfortable,” she revealed.
Once the reunion actually came around, though, everything turned upside down.
Don’t get me wrong– the day started out really well, and everyone was having a great time. After Harry had a few drinks, though, he drunkenly decided to out Dustin to their entire family himself.
On top of that, Harry was beyond disrespectful about it. First, he just shouted, “I have an announcement to make.” Then, he giggled before calling his son a really derogatory word.
She was completely caught off guard and appalled that her husband would ever use a word like that in the first place– moreover, about his own son.
What really pushed her over the edge, though, was what her mother-in-law said next. Apparently, her mother-in-law remarked, “Well, of course, she would give you a gay son.”
She really tried to keep her cool, but she was understandably losing her temper. After all, her mother-in-law was no longer just making comments about her– but also about her son.
Nonetheless, her mother-in-law would not shut up about how “sinful” and “unnatural” Dustin was. So, when she could not take it any longer, she grabbed the closest beverage– which just so happened to be her daughter’s cup of Kool-Aid– and poured it all over her mother-in-law’s cream-colored dress.
Immediately afterward, Dustin and her two younger children went home. Then, she left, too, and told her husband that he could find another way of getting home.
And after she collected her thoughts that night, she decided to post on Facebook the next morning. In the post, she detailed how Harry’s family would no longer be welcome at any milestone events for her children. She also revealed that she would no longer be participating in any family events with Harry’s family.
So now, it has been a few days since everything happened, and Harry has been sleeping at his mother’s house. And apparently, after only trying to apologize for a few hours after the reunion, Harry has been trying to spin his behavior as her fault.
“Harry is saying that I ‘knew his beliefs when I married him’ and that I ‘ruined my mother-in-law’s nice dress.’ So, I have no right to be angry,” she explained.
In turn, her entire marriage just feels completely wrong now. She no longer sees love when she looks at Harry and has no idea how her husband could hurt their son– someone he is supposed to love.
So, she has been left wondering if she should leave Harry and get a divorce. Or, if she really did blow things out of proportion and ruined the reunion by throwing a drink on her mother-in-law’s dress.
Do you think she had every right to ruin her mother-in-law’s dress? What about Harry– should she consider getting a divorce if her husband is going to act that way? How would you handle this situation if you were in her shoes?
