Her Husband Screamed At Her For Leaving Her In-Laws’ House Early During The Super Bowl
This woman is 27 weeks pregnant with her and her husband’s first child. Throughout her pregnancy, she’s done her best to maintain a consistent routine and maintain healthy habits.
It’s been important for her to have as much consistency as possible before their child is born. Despite trying to continue her routines, being pregnant has caused some changes. For example, she has noticed changes in the foods she enjoys.
“I get more tired. I now want to be home a little more. I get drained and annoyed a little faster than I usually would,” she said.
Before she was pregnant, she had more energy to socialize and go out drinking or to dinner with her husband or with him and her in-laws.
Since getting pregnant, all she has energy for is going to work, to the gym, and then heading home for the rest of the night.
Unfortunately, her in-laws took it as a personal offense that she wanted to spend more time hanging out at home, accusing her of not enjoying their company anymore.
They told her that since it seemed like she didn’t want to get together with them anymore, she wouldn’t allow them to see their grandchild.
Her husband was conflicted because he still wanted to go out and socialize, either just with her or also with his parents.
However, the idea of getting dressed up and ready to go out to a bar didn’t sound like a good time to her now that she was pregnant. She preferred relaxing in the comfort of her own home these days.

Last night, she and her husband watched the Super Bowl at her in-laws’ house. For the first three-quarters of the game, she was enjoying herself, but after that, she was over it and wanted to leave.
Her social battery was quickly dwindling, so she asked her husband if they could go home, and he was furious that she couldn’t handle staying at his parents’ house for the last quarter.
“He started telling me that if we left, he couldn’t defend me over things they say and that I would look like the bad guy for just leaving. I told him that at this point, I didn’t care; I just wanted to be home and be comfortable,” she explained.
Eventually, her husband agreed to leave with her, and when they got home, he was still angry that they left before the game was over. In her view, he was blowing the situation out of proportion because he was a Cowboys fan, and they weren’t even playing in the Super Bowl anyway.
Her husband screamed at her and called her unappreciative, claiming it was disrespectful and rude of her to leave his parents’ house early. In his opinion, her actions made it look like she didn’t want to be around his parents anymore.
He told her she should have tried to tough it out for the last quarter, which would have been about 45 minutes.
“I told him that I was pregnant and just wanted to come home early and chill before the work week started. He says that I could’ve sacrificed a little more time,” she shared.
His argument was a bit hypocritical because when the situation was reversed, and her husband turned down the idea of spending time with her family, she didn’t get angry or force him to do something he didn’t want to do.
Plus, her parents have never felt personally offended if she had to turn down their invitation to get together like her in-laws seem to.
