Drama Begins When Man Misses His Flight Because His Wife Refused To Pack His Suitcase While He Played Video Games
Staying in this marriage marathon can be the hardest task you will ever undertake in your life.
One husband missed a business flight, and the reason behind it has Reddit split. What started as a simple request to pack a suitcase turned into a full-blown argument about responsibility, respect, and who should be doing what in the marriage.
Redditor u/LydiaBlue said her husband expected her to pack his bags while he played video games, then blamed her when he ran out of time and missed his flight. The situation quickly got messy, especially once money, work, and resentment entered the picture.
Now the comments are weighing in, and the verdict is not exactly kind to him. Read on.
Wife Asks If She’s In The Wrong After Her Husband Misses His Flight Because She Didn’t Pack His Suitcase
Craig AdderleyMarriage is a journey that two people embark on with the expectation that "till death do us part" will be the end goal. However, they will never know when it will all come to an abrupt end.
I can tell you much about what transpired between the OP and her husband, but I think it's best if you just read the original post yourself.

Numerous Redditors believe the woman handled the situation appropriately. They are of the opinion that the husband is disrespectful and has a strange attitude and a sense of entitlement.
His sense of entitlement is rooted in the fact that he is the breadwinner of the family. Thus, he feels he can shirk all domestic duties, shifting them to his wife.
I can’t exhaust what the readers had to say about the man’s immature attitude, but you can read them for yourself as you scroll down.

The readers poured out their thoughts with no reservations in the comments section. They unanimously stressed how badly the husband needed to grow up.
To any sane person, marriage is a union that requires respect and understanding from both parties. Just because you are the breadwinner of the family doesn't justify disrespecting and reducing your partner to the level of house help.
Or don’t you think so?
Wait until you see the newlywed who wants to move home to care for her ailing mother.
