A LOVER’S quarrel has gone too far after one man didn’t stand up for his spouse.
The scorned husband’s friend called the wife a “gross, fat turkey.”
Redditor No-experience7433 shared the story in a post on the social media platform.
She and her husband decided to have dinner at his buddy’s house, who he hasn’t known for very long.
Sitting around the table with their 10-month-old son in her lap, they shared photos from their wedding, where the wife was pregnant.
“I was 37 weeks pregnant and had gained 35 pounds at that point,” she said of her wedding day.
“The friend looks at a photo and says, ‘Oh gross what happened to you? Your face is so fat. You look like a fat turkey.'”
The wife tried to explain what happens to a woman’s body during pregnancy to no avail.
“He wasn’t interested in listening and just went on laughing and repeating similar insults,” she said.
“I looked at my husband and he just laughed along with him.”
Defeated, the wife said she put her son to bed and cried herself to sleep that night.
The wife explained that she was not only hurt by her husband’s friend’s words, but also the fact that he did not stand up for her.
“What I needed at that time was only something my husband could provide,” she said.
She insisted that she wanted her husband to retort in a peaceful way, with enough nerve to defend her.
“I just needed him to say, ‘I thought you looked beautiful on our wedding day babe.’
“I would have said, ‘Thank you,’ had a laugh, and we would have moved on with our evening.
“I needed to feel like a team, like he had my back. I don’t care about others opinions of me, I care about my husband’s.”
After not receiving the emotional support she needed from her husband, she decided that more drastic measures may be necessary.
“My husband is living at a friend’s, but they have a family so I don’t know how long that will last. I do not know his plan. My parents are handling our communication,” she said in an update.
She added that her parents urged her to take a few days to calm down and reflect.
“For the sake of my child I will, but as of now I do not want to continue this marriage,” she said.
In yet another update, she added that her husband remains away from her.
“My husband is out of the house and I feel done with my marriage,” she said.
Other Redditors gave their thoughts on the matter in the comments section.
“I’m done with your marriage, too,” one wrote. “I can’t imagine.”
