He still did not understand that, though, and detailed how the dress had just been forgotten about and lying in his wife’s closet. Plus, all of his wife’s other special dresses– like her wedding gown and baby shower dress– were still intact and preserved.
So, he really thought he was just honoring his wife’s wishes– even if it was a bit earlier than originally intended.
His mother-in-law just did not agree with his intentions, though, and the argument soon escalated. Eventually, other birthday guests got involved, and they even started taking sides.
In the end, his mother-in-law ultimately left the party, too, and she brought most of the attendees with her. Since then, she has also refused to answer any of his phone calls.
“And I am devastated,” he vented. “All I wanted to do was make this birthday extra special for my daughter. Instead, her entire day ended in tears.”
