The author’s son got married recently, but they have had past issues that strained their relationship. The author was not included in the wedding invitation and decided not to drive their wife, who is disabled, to the wedding because they felt they shouldn’t have to participate if they were not invited.
The Backstory
This led to an argument with their wife, and she was taken to the wedding by the author’s brother. The wife refused to speak to the author upon her return, and the author’s brother accused them of being in the wrong for not providing transportation for the wife.
The situation described has resulted in strained relationships and misunderstandings. In addition, the author’s exclusion from the wedding appears to have influenced their decision not to provide transportation for their wife.
But the wife is disabled, so she is asking for help. “I get not wanting to drive 6 hours round trip for something that he’s not invited to, but this is his wife who has a disability, trying to get to a son’s wedding when there is a huge relationship strain, most likely due to OPs actions.”
This decision led to an argument with the wife and the involvement of other family members, which further complicated the situation. Communication and understanding help to resolve these conflicts and improve relationships.
The Author Doesn’t Respond
The author does not respond to the comments on the thread and refuses to answer simple questions. This leads the Redditors to question the author’s integrity and role in this strained relationship.
The lack of detail and information feels like an admission of guilt without saying anything. For example, “His lack of response to these questions is telling.” And “Agreed. INFO: why did your son cut ties with you, or you cut ties with him? Was it just the house issue? This is important information.”
The author omits too much information, so Reddiots aren’t sure whether or not he is the a**hole or not. But the majority lean towards yes, he is an a**hole because if he is willing to treat his wife like this, you can only imagine his relationship with his son.
Who is in the Right?
Ultimately, the son should come first, regardless of the strained relationships. It’s his wedding, a special day that deserves special treatment.
”I think from the fact he’s punishing his disabled wife, who he knows can’t get there without him, for being invited to something he didn’t, making her miss her child’s wedding, is a pretty good lead that he’s a massive AH and has definitely done worse than just being upset over a house.”
Punishing all of your loved ones will only lead to more issues. So the Reddit community believed that he was indeed the AH!
