Husband Throws a Fit After Wife Goes to the Doctor Appointment He Canceled Behind Her Back So She Can Host His Dinner Party

A doctor visit turned into a full-blown marriage fight when one husband decided his wife’s health could wait for his dinner party. She had been dealing with painful, red eyes for a while, and after putting it off through the holidays, she finally booked an appointment.

That should have been the end of it, but her 37-year-old husband had other plans. The 34-year-old stay-at-home mom says he canceled her ride behind her back, then got angry when she refused to skip the appointment so she could host his friends instead.

By the time she got home, the house was empty, and the argument was far from over. Now the question is simple, was she really the one ruining the night?

Dear husband said that she should reschedule since her eyes look okay anyway. OP said no, she can't do that, and her husband just nodded.

On the day of the appointment, OP's husband saw her dressed and ready to leave. He asked where she was going, and OP replied that she was going to the doctor.

The husband responded that there was no need for that since he had sent the clinic an email to cancel her appointment and suggested that she could reschedule for the following week.

OP asked him why he did that, and the husband said that he needed her there so she could host dinner for his friends. He continued that OP shouldn't be surprised because she knew of his plans beforehand.

Our OP got mad at him and yelled, "Hell no!" She grabbed the laptop and sent the clinic an email asking if they could put her appointment back in, and they did.

The husband threw a tantrum, saying he had already invited his friends over and that OP shouldn't bail on him. OP asked him to postpone the dinner, but he said no, and that OP should cancel instead because it wasn't an emergency.

OP called her sister to take her, and while waiting for her sister to arrive, OP had to listen to her husband's tantrum about OP's bad hosting skills.

She came home around 7 PM that night only to find their house empty. Dear husband called her later, whining about how she failed him and made him look bad to his friends.

OP's husband stayed out the whole night and came home the next day saying the same thing, adding that OP is manipulative, stubborn, and a bad host for bailing on him and his friends. He also swore he would never forget what she did.

That dinner party clearly mattered more to him than it should have.

Red flags so big, they can be seen from the moon

And it gets messy fast, like the moment a woman canceled her cooking date with her boyfriend’s mom because she felt ill.

This is how you should handle this manipulative situation

You are the one who should be upset, not him

He has to apologize, not you

Reconsider your relationship

Always, always be on the lookout for further abusive behaviors

We don't know the husband, but he does seem like the type

Hopefully, it's a good sign that she's questioning this behavior

OP's husband expects her to be waiting and ready for his commands at any moment

Telling and asking are two wildly different things

If the dinner with friends is so precious, why not host it at a fancy restaurant?

Don't justify it, OP! That's not what he meant at all; he meant what he said: his wants are more important than you or your health.

OP hasn't answered any questions asking if her eyes are okay

Cardabella

A plan to leave ASAP when needed should be in place

Rtarara

He wants OP to be at his beck and call even when she's obviously unwell

Eyes are more important than his dinner with the boys

People who are used to abusive situations don't easily recognize how badly they are treated because they become accustomed to unhealthy situations daily. This is why OP is commendable for asking if the way her husband behaved is okay.

It's the first step of a long journey, but let's hope this is OP's wake-up call. Emergency or not, health should be prioritized over someone else's dinner plans.

He may need a reality check before the next dinner party.

Before you judge the wife, see what happened when someone skipped her sister’s dinner to escape a controlling husband: AITA?
