Her Husband Said She Should Stay In The Kitchen And Make Lunch For Him Since That’s Her Job, And He’s Upset She Told His Sister And Got Him Yelled At
This woman admits that her husband occasionally cracks jokes that she hardly finds funny at all. In fact, her husband’s jokes really irritate her.
When she does get upset about his jokes, he tries to calm her down by claiming they’re just meant as jokes, so she should not take what he says seriously.
Regardless, she believes her husband is not being respectful with his jokes at all, and they still bother her greatly.
A weekend ago, she and her husband went to a family event at his mom and dad’s house. While they were having a private conversation, he cracked another one of his jokes that deeply hurt her.
“He said I should stay in the kitchen with the other women and make lunch for him and the men in the family because that was my role,” she explained.
“He laughed at his own joke and expected me to laugh, too, but I didn’t find it funny at all.”
“I got angry and told him…that I wasn’t his maid. He said I was overreacting and that it was just an innocent joke. He said I had no sense of humor and that I should relax.”
She walked off into the living room alone, and her sister-in-law (who is her husband’s sister) instantly recognized that she was not happy.
Her sister-in-law questioned her about what had happened to cause her bad mood, so she didn’t lie to her.

She recounted to her sister-in-law what her husband had said to her about staying in the kitchen, and that made her sister-in-law livid.
Her sister-in-law said that she was going to go speak to him directly. Her sister-in-law also spoke to all the other women in her husband’s family, and they were all completely outraged.
“They all went to talk to him and criticized him for the…joke,” she said. “He felt embarrassed and tried to justify himself, but no one accepted it.”
“When we got back home, he sulked and said that I and the women in the family took his joke too seriously. He said it was just a joke, and I shouldn’t have said anything.”
She’s left wondering if it was wrong of her to have told her sister-in-law exactly what her husband said.
