The parents in this scenario are understandably upset with their son for what he did to his wife. They feel betrayed and angry; they may not be able to see past what he did to their daughter-in-law and worry about the message it would send to their other children if they let him stay after what he did.
A user asked on the forum, “Am I Wrong for telling my son he can’t stay with me when I found out why his wife kicked him out?.”
Here is the full story!
BACKSTORY
OP’s daughter-in-law is expecting their first grandchild. She has a condition called placenta previa and needs to rest in bed. Hence, she can’t have a physical relationship with her partner.
WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
OP’s son thinks he can cheat on his wife because she can’t fulfill his physical needs due to her sickness.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
When OP’s daughter-in-law discovered that OP’s son was cheating on her, so she asked him to leave their house. OP’s son then moved back in with him and the family, explaining his actions by blaming it on his wife’s intense pregnancy hormones.
WHAT OP SAYS NEXT
Whenever he called her, they argued. After a few days, OP suggested his son to visit her to see if things had settled down. Her mother was staying with her, so they weren’t too concerned. OP’s wife called her to see how she was doing and learned the actual situation.
OP IS VERY ANGRY WITH HIS SON
OP was really angry. When OP came back home from work, he told his son that he had to leave the house. Right now, he didn’t want to be around him, and it would be better if they weren’t together for a while.
WHAT OP’S WIFE SAID
OP’s wife attempted to explain that he was being too tough on his son. She thought he should give them an opportunity to resolve their issues.
WHAT OP SAID TO HIS WIFE
OP couldn’t even bring himself to look at his son. He doesn’t want to have such a thoughtless boy in his home.
OP and his wife are still arguing about the situation, asking whether he is right or wrong.
Here are some responses he got!
YOUR DECISION IS RIGHT
“Your son is a big fool, and his enabling mommy is also. Kudos to you for doing the right thing.”
YOU HAVE RESPECT FOR YOUR DAUGHTER-IN-LAW
“You have respect for your daughter-in-law and strong morals of knowing right from wrong. Looks like your son never inherited them.”
DIL NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT
“Your daughter-in-law is family and the mother of your grandchild. She needs your support now, not the man that cheated on her and blew up his marriage.”
GET HIM AWAY WITH DISRESPECT AND
ENTITLEMENT
“Consequences of his own actions. Good for you for not condoning it. Your grandchild is on their way, and the grandkid and their mum need all the support. Let him get away with disrespect and entitlement.”
YOU HAD STRONG MORAL CHARACTER
“Good on you for having both strong moral character and the backbone to stand up for it.”
CHEATING IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE
“I had placenta previa. No physical relationship for 28 weeks. I was diagnosed at 18w, delivered at 38w plus 8w pp recovery. My husband had zero issues with it because it was for the safety of his family.”
