She’s Refusing To Forgive Her Husband After He Broke A Sentimental Vase That She Inherited From Her Grandmother And Blamed It On Their Young Son
This 35-year-old woman and her husband, who is 37, have been married for about 10 years. They also have a kid together, a son, who is just 5 years old.
Anyway, she inherited a vase from her grandmother, and the piece was very important to her. However, just a couple of weeks ago, she realized that the vase had been broken, and she was devastated since it held a lot of sentimental value.
She obviously asked her husband what happened, too, but he claimed that their son was actually responsible for the damage. In fact, her husband said that he hadn’t been watching their son for a little while, and it must have happened when their son was out of sight.
“I felt sad, but I tried not to blame our son, although deep down, I felt some resentment,” she admitted.
“I also blamed my husband, but to a lesser degree.”
She also held onto this resentment for the past few weeks and even started to feel guilty about harboring these feelings toward her son. So, she recently decided to vent to her husband about the whole situation, but it had a different outcome than she anticipated.
More specifically, her husband actually confessed to being the one responsible for the broken vase– not their son.
“He said he was afraid to tell me the truth and thought it would be easier if our son took the blame, as he is just a child and would quickly forgive,” she revealed.
She didn’t agree with her husband’s perspective, though, and just became super angry with him. She simply couldn’t believe that he would allow their 5-year-old son to take the fall.

That’s why she ultimately told her husband that she needed some time and space to process the whole situation. But that only made him upset with her since she refused to forgive him.
“And he says I’m overreacting,” she added.
So now, the broken vase is causing a lot of tension in their relationship, and she’s unsure if refusing to forgive her husband for lying about their son breaking the sentimental object is really so unreasonable or not.
How would you feel if something so important to you was broken by your spouse, and they blamed it on your kid? Does she have a right to be upset? What should she do in this situation?
