Wife Leaves Airport When She Sees Mother-In-Law Is Going On Couples Trip With Her and Husband
After seeing her mother-in-law at the airport waiting for her and her husband, a woman stormed off and arrived home sobbing. However, her husband was not supportive of how his wife felt.
A woman and her husband had a happy marriage, although she never got along with her mother-in-law. The woman said that from the day she and her husband met, the woman had it out for her.
When her mother-in-law was not comparing the woman to herself, she was trying to get on her good side by falsely praising her, trying to look like her by dyeing her hair similar colors, and blaming the woman when other people told her it looked terrible.

However, after everything the woman's mother-in-law had put her through during the years she spent with her husband, the worst was yet to come; what the woman's mother-in-law did next shocked and infuriated her.
What Did the Woman and Her Husband Plan?
The woman and her husband took two weeks off work to travel to a few different places and see the world together. The woman saved up for the trip while her husband was in charge of booking flights.

As the couple prepared for their trip, the woman's mother-in-law told them she wanted to go with them. When the woman told her mother-in-law she was not welcome, the older woman threw "temper tantrums." The woman shared:
"She called, texted, sent people to talk to me into letting her come, even threatened to call the police and make some complaint up to get us to stay if she can't come."

After seeing how his mother was acting, the woman's husband told her it might be best if they let her tag along. However, the woman stood firm in her opinion, telling him that he was wrong to tell his mother about their trip in the first place.

The woman's husband told her he wouldn't go if his mother couldn't, and she told him she was calling his bluff. The man admitted defeat and said he would tell his mother they weren't taking her with them. However, what happened next infuriated the woman.
What Did the Woman's Mother-In-Law and Husband Do?
After her husband told her he would tell his mother she was not welcome on their vacation, the woman said things became "suspiciously quieter." When she arrived at the airport, she understood why.

The couple arrived at the airport at around 2 p.m. on the day of their trip, and the woman found that her husband was looking around as if trying to find someone. When she asked her husband about it, he didn't respond. The woman's husband led her to the waiting area, and she said:
"First thing I saw was his mom standing there with her luggage. I froze in my spot."

As the man and his mother embraced, the woman quietly turned around and made for the exit of the airport building. The woman's husband followed her, shouting at her to stop, but she continued.
The woman told her husband off for bringing his mother on the trip, but he told her since his mother was already there, the woman should just let her join them. The woman told her husband that he and his mother were welcome to go on the trip but that she was going home.

When the woman returned home, she sobbed into her dog's fur because her husband had booked his mother a ticket on their trip without her knowing. An hour later, he husband came home, too.
After the woman's husband arrived home, he yelled at her, telling her she had overreacted and that she was spiteful for leaving the airport at the last minute and ruining their trip. The woman assured her husband that he had caused her to act that way.
They fought for a while before the woman said she would no longer discuss it. Her husband then phoned her family to tell them what happened, and they said the woman shouldn't have ruined the trip for herself. The woman then questioned whether or not she had overreacted. Netizens commented on her situation.
Was the woman right to leave the airport and ruin the trip, or should she have gone there with her husband and mother-in-law? Many women have complicated relationships with their mothers-in-law that result in friction in the family. Another woman who had an issue with her mother-in-law kicked her out of the house for the food she served. You can read the full story here.
