Wife Asks Reddit Users If She Is TA For Drinking Wine With Her BIL On Christmas

Nobody is perfect, and every couple faces some problems, whether small or significant, in their relationship. What matters most is how well you handle your relationship once the fight is over.

It is quite normal to have insecurities about your partner and to feel a little possessive. However, being overly possessive and throwing tantrums that could potentially ruin the relationship is not acceptable.

Two people decide to get married once they reach a certain level of maturity and are old enough to understand one another. However, getting upset with your partner for socializing with other family members of the opposite gender is entirely unreasonable.

This story tells us about a wife who has self-doubt about interacting with her BIL at a Christmas dinner while other family members are present in the hall. She believes she is at fault because her husband is upset with her for doing so.

Thus, she turns to Reddit to seek opinions that might change her mind and to vent a little to feel lighter, especially since her husband won't speak to her directly.

While Reddit users showed her their full support, some also criticized her husband. A few even mocked her for marrying someone immature, which seems fitting in this case because her husband is behaving like one.

No, woman, that doesn't make you TA but a respectable member of the family.

Well, there is no explanation needed after hearing the story; NTA, period!

It seems like he is ruining his own celebrations and trying to spoil yours as well.

Exactly, who even gets insecure about their own family members? That's sick!

Well, the husband doesn't help with the food and expects others not to assist the wife either.

There couldn't be a more appropriate word to describe the husband's behavior than 'jealousy.'

Masculinity is not just about watching sports with a beer; it's about being able to share your partner's work.

Now the husband's level of jealousy has risen so much that everything revolves around his BIL.

It would have been wrong if the wife had done something inappropriate with her BIL after getting drunk.

The BIL helps with the food because he loves cooking, not because the wife is in the kitchen.

When the pregnant sister isn't offended, why is the husband overreacting for literally no reason?

This is the funniest comment, but it makes the most sense out of all.

If helping while cooking is considered flirting, then I have been flirting with my brother all this time.

This whole situation gives the wife a chance to encourage her husband to cook with her.

The one who should be getting mad is chilling, and the one who should be chilling is getting mad. The irony!

HusbandAndBIL

The whole point of getting angry was not because they were talking, but because the BIL chose cooking over watching sports.

This story makes us all wonder how easily some men take things to heart and spoil their relationships. It is okay to feel a little insecure, but being overly possessive is never acceptable in a healthy relationship.
