Her In-Laws Disinvited Her From Christmas Because She Didn’t Treat Her Husband Like A “Prince,” But Then Her Husband Overslept And Missed His Flight Home For The Holiday, So She Is Now Being Blamed For That, Too

This woman has a husband named Al, who is thirty-three years old. And since he was the only boy in his family, she claims that her husband is seriously spoiled by his mom and three sisters.
In fact, Al is actually treated like a prince. His family even calls him “heir” and reportedly acts as though he is really royalty– always gifting him expensive items.
And at first, she did not really have any issue with her husband being spoiled. After all, her in-laws considered the treatment to be a showing of love and appreciation.
Soon after, though, she was also expected to treat her husband the exact same way his family did– like a prince. And it sparked a ton of arguments between her and her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law.
Essentially, they claimed that she was not showing Al the “same level of respect” his own parents and sisters did.
So, because of that, she actually got disinvited from a bunch of different family events, including Christmas!
Now, her husband has opted to stay out of the situation entirely– even though it revolves around him.
Plus, even when she complained about being disinvited from their recent Christmas celebration, Al simply said that he could not force his family to “have guests they did not want.” Yikes.
Anyway, her husband’s family does not actually live nearby. So, in order for Al to attend the Christmas dinner this past weekend, he had to take a flight.

But, on the morning of his trip, her husband apparently slept in and did not wake up on time to make it to the airport. So, as you can imagine, he was pissed.
Instead of being angry at himself for oversleeping, though, Al actually tried to blame her for the mistake.
First, he woke up and began freaking out on her– yelling about how she was just being petty by not waking him up to catch the flight, despite asking her to.
Honestly, though, she claims that the only reason why she didn’t wake Al up was that she had been sleeping, too.
“Why would I wake up early just to wake him up?” she noted.
Anyway, it turned out that her husband’s phone had been away since he hated sleeping near electronics. And without an alarm, Al totally missed his wake-up time.
So, her husband ended up leaving in a big rush, hurried to the airport, and attempted to get onto another flight. But, because the airport was beyond packed, Al ultimately failed.
In turn, her husband was forced to just go back to their house and missed out on celebrating Christmas with his family.
Now, ever since hearing about what happened, his entire family has also blamed her for the entire mishap.
Her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law are specifically pissed off and believe that she purposefully made her husband miss his flight in order to get back at her in-laws and isolate Al from the rest of his family.
Her husband has not gotten over what happened since then, either, and is still accusing her of acting “petty,” “vicious,” and ruining the entire holiday for him.
So, with all of her in-laws and her husband still furious with her, she has been left wondering if not waking her husband up for his flight home on Christmas was actually her fault or not.
What do you think about her husband’s family constantly treating him like a prince and her in-laws disinviting her from Christmas because she does not do the same? If your partner didn’t stand up for you in that situation, how would you feel? As for the missed flight, was it her responsibility to make sure her adult husband woke up on time? If you were in her shoes, how would you deal with this craziness?
