He mentioned that his wife should just try his mom’s cooking this year, but she argued that it was not about that at all; it just comes down to her hating specific food.
And if you are wondering, no, his wife is not allergic to anything, she really is just picky, and that’s it.
“We had an argument, and I ended up telling her she could stay home this Thanksgiving and have whatever meal she likes,” he said.
“She got quiet then lashed out at me, calling me insensitive and negative to say this to her. I repeatedly asked her to calm down, but she couldn’t stop ranting about how I was basically willing to exclude her from a major event. She started cold-shouldering me about it while at the same time guilting me, saying I’m treating her poorly after she offered the “perfect compromise.”
In the end, his wife decided that she would spend Thanksgiving with her family alone this year, while he can go to his family’s house and spend the holiday with them.
He’s left wondering if it was mean of him to tell his wife to stay home instead of allowing her to bring her own food. Do you think it would have been alright for his wife to pack her own food to bring, or do you agree that you can see how it would be highly offensive to his mom?
