She Called Her Husband Childish Because They Invited Their Daughter’s Boyfriend Over For Dinner, And Her Husband Had A Lot Of Negative Things To Say About His Tattoos
This 41-year-old woman and her 43-year-old husband, Thomas, have a daughter named Maddie, who is 19.
They recently found out that Maddie has a boyfriend– a 20-year-old guy named Oliver. So, she decided to invite him over for dinner. That way, she and her husband could get to know him.
Once Oliver actually arrived at her house, though, she was surprised to learn that he had multiple tattoos. Apparently, the teen had a small face tattoo, as well as several others on his arms and hands.
“But it didn’t really bother me,” she said, “I don’t care what other people do with their body unless they’re harming themselves.”
Anyway, the dinner then started, and everything seemed to go fine. She also thought that Oliver was a really nice boy.
However, she couldn’t help but notice how quiet her husband, Thomas, was throughout the meal. Still, she didn’t think much of it until her daughter and Oliver had left.
At that point, while getting ready to hit the hay, her husband started making remarks about Oliver’s tattoos. Her husband claimed that they were inappropriate and that the teen would never be able to land a job looking like that.
Now, she disagreed with her husband’s perspective, and she figured the issue would be dropped after that.
“But he went on to say that people were defiling themselves, they ruined their bodies, and were glorified open wounds,” she recalled.

This sparked a pretty big argument between them, too, and she tried to tell her husband that what other people did with their bodies was none of his business. She also accused him of being childish for getting so upset.
Well, her husband didn’t take that well and instead stormed out of the house. Thomas only texted her to inform her that he’d be going to his mother’s house because he didn’t want to be around someone who talked badly about his opinions.
Later, her mother-in-law also texted her– accusing her of being “out of line” for arguing with Thomas over the tattoos.
“And that I shouldn’t call him childish over an opinion,” she vented.
So now, she’s been left wondering if telling her husband that he acted childish over their daughter’s boyfriend having tattoos was really the wrong thing to do or not.
Do you agree that her husband didn’t have a right to disparage tattoos? Or should she have been more receptive to his opinion? How would you have reacted in this situation?
