When we marry, we promise to be together through life’s ups and downs. However, when tragedy struck shortly after their wedding, Suzy and her husband found themselves at a crossroads. Following a vehicle accident involving his parents, Suzy’s husband wanted to stay by their side, but she insisted on going on their dream honeymoon, feeling it could not be postponed. When things took a bad turn, Suzy reached out for help.
This is Suzy’s letter:
We’d been planning our European honeymoon for a year. While returning from our wedding, my mother-in-law and father-in-law got into a car crash. They’re alive but badly hurt. My husband said he couldn’t just leave his family in the hospital. I said, “I’m your family too. Don’t ruin our dream trip, we’ve already paid for everything!” He refused, so I went alone.
While there, I was scrolling Facebook and was surprised to see him post a photo of himself with a female friend having coffee. I called him right away and said, “It doesn’t seem like you’re spending your time at the hospital after all.”
He seemed annoyed and replied, “This was taken in the hospital cafeteria, and my friend Amy came to be by my side during this rough time, unlike you!”
After 10 days, I returned from the honeymoon and got home. When I opened the door, I was horrified to find a note on the table that said, “It’s better if we take some more time apart. It doesn’t seem like you know the value of family.”
I am devastated and feel like my whole marriage ended before it started, but I am still convinced that he should have come with me on our honeymoon. What should I do?
