Reddit users on the “Am I the A–hole” subreddit recently weighed in on a woman’s decision to leave her husband at the airport after he was prevented from boarding a plane for being too drunk. The woman, known as CantaloupeLife7504, explained that she and her husband, Adam, had planned a trip to visit her father in another country. Despite her father not approving of Adam, she invited him along on the trip. However, when Adam showed up at the airport drunk, he was not allowed to board the plane. CantaloupeLife7504 made the decision to board the flight without him, leaving him in the care of her brother-in-law.
Adam was upset with his wife for leaving him behind while he was drunk, claiming that he would not have done the same to her. However, many Reddit users supported CantaloupeLife7504’s decision, stating that Adam’s behavior was intentional and selfish. Some even suggested that he may have a larger underlying problem with alcohol. One user pointed out that Adam’s actions were deliberate and had consequences, and that CantaloupeLife7504 should not feel guilty for continuing her trip without him.
Etiquette expert Rosalinda Randall advised CantaloupeLife7504 to address the situation with both her father and her husband before it escalates further. Randall also supported CantaloupeLife7504’s decision to leave her husband at the airport, given the circumstances of the trip. With the trip being expensive and requiring time off work, Randall emphasized the need to weigh the options and consider the impact on future travels if Adam’s behavior continues.
Reddit users on the “Am I the A–hole” subreddit echoed similar sentiments, with many supporting CantaloupeLife7504’s decision and warning her about potential issues in her relationship with Adam. Some users suggested that Adam’s behavior was a deliberate attempt to sabotage CantaloupeLife7504’s time with her father due to her father’s disapproval of him. Others expressed concern that Adam may have an alcohol problem based on his actions at the airport, regardless of whether they were intentional or not.
In response to the overwhelming support for CantaloupeLife7504’s decision, some users advised her to reconsider her relationship with Adam and consider addressing any potential alcohol-related issues. Despite Adam’s reaction to being left behind at the airport, many Reddit users agreed that CantaloupeLife7504 made the right choice in prioritizing her trip to visit her father over enabling Adam’s behavior. The incident highlighted deeper issues within their relationship that may require further communication and reflection.
