Wife Goes on Vacation without Her Husband Because of His Irresponsible Behavior — Gets Criticized by Him

After spending several weeks planning a holiday, a wife only gave her husband two tasks: book days off work and pay for plane tickets. When he failed to do so, the wife left him at home and went on vacation alone.

A wife decided to leave her husband at home and go on a vacation they had planned because he did not buy their plane tickets on time. After arriving at her destination, she took it to Reddit to give a backstory and ask readers if she was wrong for leaving him at home.

For months, the 29-year-old woman had planned a vacation for her and her husband to New Orleans. She told her husband, 32, that she would handle most of the planning; all he needed was to make sure he booked days off work and paid for the plane tickets.

The wife went on to put together a detailed itinerary for them. She booked their hotel room, made reservations to all the restaurants they wanted to try, and planned all their sightseeing adventures.

Every few weeks, she would remind her husband to book his days off from work and purchase plane tickets. But getting time off did not seem like a problem; he just wanted to wait for the ticket prices to drop.

Three weeks before the trip, the wife reminded him again to book the plane tickets, but when he looked, they were going for $1500. The man decided to wait a little longer, hoping the prices would drop.

With a week to go, the wife remained consistent with her reminders. The husband returned to check the tickets, but they were still pricey. The man eventually admitted that he was not willing to spend that much on the tickets.

He asked if canceling the whole trip would be as expensive and suggested they go for a close and quiet staycation. However, she was not willing to shift anything around as she had already spent too much time planning the entire trip.

The couple argued but never reached a resolution. So, the wife decided to book a ticket for herself and go on vacation alone. Her husband was caught off guard, but now she had turned the vacation as time away from him.

The wife took the next plane out on a Saturday and started to enjoy the vacation she had planned for weeks. On the other hand, her husband was furious with her for not staying home with him.

Since his wife had left him, he tried to book a last-minute ticket; however, the woman was not willing to share a room with him anymore. She told him that if he came to New Orleans, he would have to book his own hotel room because she still wanted space from him.

The rejection only made her husband angry. She said he blew up her phone calling, claiming she was a bad person for not going on the trip with him. The woman turned to Reddit to seek advise about and ask users to help her understand if she was wrong for leaving her husband behind.

Was the Wife Wrong for Leaving Her Husband at Home?

Readers were proud of the wife for not letting her husband ruin a trip she had looked forward to for several weeks. They also agreed that her husband only had two tasks and failed to complete them.

Therefore, for him to be upset at his wife was just him being selfish. Despite the high ticket prices, people thought being left behind was the price he had to pay for slacking and not booking on time, especially because his wife had reminded him regularly.

So, the wife was told to enjoy her trip, the comfortable hotel room, and the big bed by herself, eat all the good food, and soak up her holiday. In fact, readers hoped she would get home to a very apologetic husband.

People also hoped that this experience would teach her husband to take their family vacations more seriously in the future.
