Her Husband Thought It Was Rude That Her Parents Included Them Both On One Christmas Party Invitation, So She Told Her Parents That Unless They Send Her Husband His Own Invite, She Would Not Be Attending
Over the weekend, this woman and her thirty-two-year-old husband, named Luke, received an invitation from her parents for a Christmas party. Immediately, though, her husband had an issue with the invite.
For context, Luke and her parents have never really gotten along. Weirdly enough, though, there is never a clear “right” or “wrong” party.
Instead, there is always just some bizarre ongoing tension between them. Thankfully, though, when it matters, her husband and her parents can put their differences aside to sit down together at one dinner table.
In terms of the Christmas party invitation, though, Luke was specifically angry that they were both included on the same invite. In fact, he found it totally disrespectful and rude that she and he were grouped together– despite being literally married.
“Luke believes that he should get his own invitation and not have his name mentioned as an ‘extension’ to mine,” she revealed.
So, after they both discussed it, her husband claimed that he actually would not go to the Christmas party unless her parents resent him a “proper invitation.”
Rather than shutting Luke down, though, she actually caved and called her parents up to ask for another invite for her husband! And obviously, her mother thought that Luke was acting insane.
Her mother also claimed to have sent her sister and brother-in-law the exact same single invitation– and neither of them had a problem with it. So, her parents were completely confused.
She then tried to explain away Luke’s behavior and claimed that he “can be sensitive like that.” Still, she asked that her parents invite him separately over text anyway if they could not send out another invitation!

Understandably, though, her parents got pretty pissed off. First, her mom reportedly “got defensive” before calling her husband out for acting ridiculous.
Then, her dad accused Luke of trying to pull “some power move” in an effort to humiliate her parents.
Despite their reaction, though, she still felt like her husband’s request was not that crazy. So, she proceeded to tell her parents that unless they sent Luke a separate invitation, she would not be attending the Christmas celebration.
And boy, did that spark some massive family drama. In fact, the entire argument blew up and actually ended up involving the rest of her family.
So now, her sister is claiming that Luke needs to get over himself. Plus, her sister “shamed her” for trying to force her parents into sending her husband another invitation by giving them an ultimatum.
Still, Luke claims that “a simple text” would completely resolve the conflict on his end. In turn, she has not spoken to her parents since their argument and claims she and Luke are now just waiting to receive that proper invite.
In the meantime, though, she has had a lot of time to reflect on the situation. So, she has been left wondering whether or not telling her parents she would not show up to Christmas unless her husband got a separate invitation to the party was actually the wrong thing to do or not.
Isn’t it customary for couples– especially married partners– to be included in the same invitation? Why do you think that Luke felt entitled to his own separate invitation to her family’s party? Do you believe it was wrong of her to threaten to miss the Christmas party unless her parents sent her husband another invite? What would you have done had you been in her shoes?
