A woman, excluded from her in-laws’ activities for three years, reached her breaking point one night. She shared her story on Reddit, revealing how her 35-year-old husband told her to stay home while his brothers’ partners were always invited to family dinners.

The tipping point came when she was again asked to “sit this one out.” She made a solo reservation at the same restaurant. Arriving 15 minutes after her husband, she walked past their table, shocking him and upsetting her mother-in-law. She defended her actions, saying she only came for steak.

At home, her husband scolded her. Readers encouraged her to confront him, and she discovered the truth: his family, especially his mother, disapproved of her due to her race and other differences. Feeling vindicated but hurt, she packed her belongings and stayed with her sister, contemplating divorce.

She updated that she might separate from her husband but felt empowered by the support from Reddit commenters. One advised her to inform her brothers-in-law’s partners about their future mother-in-law, while others praised her bravery.

What would you do in her situation?
