On a flight to visit her family in her home country, a Reddit user was left alone after her husband was deemed too drunk to board the plane.
The woman, who goes by the username u/throwawayforahole, said that her husband, Adam, had made a joke about needing a drink before meeting her father, but she didn’t find it funny. On the day of the flight, Adam arrived at the airport first and was so drunk that the flight attendant wouldn’t let him on the plane.
Instead of staying behind with him, the woman called her brother-in-law to take care of him and left his phone number with the flight attendant. Adam was upset with his wife for leaving him alone, but many people in the comments section said that he was likely trying to sabotage the trip because her father disapproved of him.
“This man deliberately tried to ruin your time with your father because your father doesn’t think highly of him,” one user wrote. “Let me guess, your father picked up on Adam being immature, spiteful, selfish, and poor mannered.”
“You need to ask yourself what someone who would do this to spite you brings to the table and why you stay with him,” they continued.
The woman said that she had been thinking about divorce for a while, and this incident made her realize that she needed to go through with it.
“I’m not going to stay with someone who would put me in a situation where I’m left alone and vulnerable,” she said. “I deserve better than that.”
