He Said His Wife Needs To Go To A Mental Asylum After She Asked His Sister To Dress More Modestly Around Him
This man is currently married, and recently, he went on a one-week vacation with both his wife and his sister. The reason for their impromptu trip was that he’d just received a bonus at work, and he wanted to use it on a getaway.
Rather than only taking his wife along, he decided to ask his sister to come, too, since she’d been going through a rough patch.
“She was still really sad about breaking up with her fiancé who had cheated on her, and I wanted to get her mind off of it,” he recalled.
“My sister was really excited about the trip.”
But while he had a wonderful time, it eventually became clear that his wife was angry about his close relationship with his sister.
For some context, he booked two separate rooms at their hotel – one for him and his wife to share and another for just his sister. He also gave his sister a spare key to his and his wife’s room, saying that she could come over whenever she wanted.
So, every single morning, his sister would show up at their hotel room to hang out and discuss their plans for the day. During these conversations, she also typically wore an oversized T-shirt.
Well, a few days into their vacation, he found out his wife had actually confronted his sister and asked her to dress “more modestly” around him.
“My sister seemed very sad and asked if she was intruding on our vacation,” he revealed.

“I was shocked and told my sister to relax and that I would speak to my wife about it.”
Once he approached his wife about this, though, it caused an argument. Apparently, his wife didn’t have a tight-knit relationship with her brother. In fact, she simply hated her sibling.
That’s why his wife was having trouble understanding how he and his sister could be so close, as well as why they felt comfortable dressing so casually around each other.
He tried to explain how, throughout their childhood, he and his sister always wore casual clothes around the house. For instance, up until he left for college, he’d often walk around wearing just shorts without a shirt on.
“And I asked my wife what was so inappropriate about my sister wearing an oversized shirt,” he added.
Unfortunately, she still didn’t get where he was coming from and kept pushing – insinuating that his sister could at least put some shorts on.
At that point, he’d had enough and kind of snapped at his wife. More specifically, he told her that she needed to go to a “mental asylum” and accused her of ruining their getaway by acting totally crazy.
“That was a bit harsh,” he admitted, “But that did put a stop to our argument.”
Despite his wife seeming upset right afterward, she also seemed to get over it and enjoy the rest of their travels. Even so, in the wake of what happened, he’s not sure if calling his wife out was the best way to handle this situation.
Is it strange that his wife asked his sister that or not? How would you have reacted in his shoes?
