Woman Books a Different Hotel During a Vacation with Her Husband

A surprising realization about your spouse could even push you to book a different hotel on vacation — even though you have been anticipating the trip throughout your married life. A troubled mother posted this struggle on Reddit about her husband. According to her post, she and her husband were going on their first vacation together in 2020. In over 10 years, that was be their first solo trip together. However nice the idea is, she saw her husband negatively due to the treatment he gave their daughter.

Their 17-year-old daughter, Annie, was left home alone and doing great with household chores. During their vacation, Annie called her parents to tell them about the hot water heater. Instead of hot water, cold water was coming out of the shower — hence her conclusion that the equipment was broken. The mother knew the father had a problem with their daughter, even with the most minor details. From their daughter’s clothes, music, and doing chores, everything about the daughter upset her husband. He even yelled at their daughter when she called during vacation — complaining about how irresponsible she was by wasting hot water, which was why he had purposely turned the hot water heater down while they were away.

The wife couldn’t help but be bothered by her husband’s behavior, so she booked a different hotel. She was so angry that night, and they had an argument that terribly ruined her mood for the vacation. After the fight, she left the resort and went to a small hotel nearby. The husband tried to talk to her again and dialed her number, but she was determined to ignore him. She even told her daughter to block and ignore her father’s calls. The husband got angrier because the money spent on the trip was wasted.
