He’s Currently Visiting His Wife’s Family And After They Tried To Force Him To Sleep Alone On The Couch, He Booked A Hotel Room And Really Upset Them

This guy and his wife tied the knot in the summer of 2022, and he has not yet gotten to spend time with his in-laws where they live because that’s on the opposite side of the country.
He has met them a few times, though, and he has gotten along decently with them on the occasions he has interacted with them.
Recently, his in-laws invited him and his wife to fly to where they are and visit for several days, and he and his wife said yes.
Yesterday, he and his wife arrived, and the day was going great for them. While his wife chatted with her sisters and mom, he sat down to watch football with his wife’s dad.
After that, they all had a great dinner together. However, the night took a turn when it came time for bedtime.
“But things went south at the end of the night when it was made clear that they didn’t want me sharing a bed with my wife while in their home and that they expected me to sleep on the couch,” he explained.
“I honestly thought they were joking at first, but they insisted we sleep separately. I had a problem with the implication that I shouldn’t be allowed to sleep next to my wife, and I also have a bad back, and the couch did not look the least bit comfortable (they don’t have a guest room).”
“After arguing back and forth for a bit, I decided to leave and book a hotel. I told my wife she didn’t have to come with me, she chose to stay, and I said I’d come back the next day. I went off to a Marriott about 10 minutes away and got a good night’s sleep, trying to not let the whole situation bother me.”
Earlier today, he phoned up his wife, wanting to know what time he should stop by her mom and dad’s house.

On that call, his wife mentioned that her mom and dad expected him to say sorry to them because of how he stormed out of the house.
He replied to his wife that he would issue an apology to her parents, only not to rock the boat, but he, in turn, wanted her mom and dad to admit that it wasn’t right of them to say he had to sleep alone on the couch. His wife stated that she would speak to her mom and dad and then call him right back.
“About 10 minutes later, I hear back from her, and she tells me that not only will they not apologize for it, they are now insisting I need to come back and stay on the couch for the rest of our visit, and if I don’t agree to this, I’m not welcome back in the house,” he said.
“I’m pretty livid at this point – I told her that there’s absolutely no chance that I will do that, and I am no longer willing to offer any sort of apology.”
His wife’s sisters have since reached out to him, claiming their parents are just set in their ways, before pointing out that his wife is really unhappy.
His wife’s sisters have begged him to come back and sleep on the couch because everything is about to turn into a serious problem in their family.
“From my perspective, I don’t care what they think, and I’m willing to treat the rest of this trip as a solo vacation, go sightseeing, and meet my wife back at the airport at the end of the week,” he concluded.
He’s still left wondering, though, if it’s a bad move to stay in the hotel and make his wife’s parents even more angry with him.
What do you think; should he return to sleep on the couch just to not create more drama with his in-laws?
