My in-laws invited twelve relatives to a fancy restaurant to celebrate my son\u2019s graduation. I asked my parents to come too since it was their grandson\u2019s celebration. When the bill came, my father-in-law paid the $1,700 but asked me to cover the 18% tip because, as he said, \u201cI brought guests.\u201d I refused and left. My wife stayed quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later that night, I received a horrifying text from her. She wrote, \u201cForget about me for some time. You ruined our only son\u2019s celebration and embarrassed me in front of my entire family for a few hundred dollars.\u201d When I got home, I froze\u2014our room was almost empty. My wife had moved out and taken nearly all of her belongings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s been three days, and she still won\u2019t answer her phone. I know she\u2019s angry, but I expected her to stand by me instead of blaming me. After all, it was her father who insulted my parents by treating them as unwanted guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you think my reaction was wrong?
