An ‘AITA for wanting to divorce my husband over kids’ Reddit post has divided users as they can’t help but sympathize with the ill-fated children.
When nothing else works, people turn to Reddit to find solutions to problems concerning romantic relationships, family dynamics, and even professional settings. Unlike stories about a manipulative husband who got called out for his behavior or a rebellious daughter whose looks her mother altered, the Reddit post we’re discussing today has left users concerned about the OP’s nieces and nephews.
Reddit user asks ‘AITA for wanting to divorce my husband over kids’
The 29-year-old Reddit user knew she didn’t want to have her own children since she was a kid. She met her husband when they were in college and the duo got hitched a couple of years later. The OP’s husband shared similar views about not wanting to have kids.
The husband’s younger sister, however, was a mother of three children.
One day, the sister left all three of her children at her brother and sister-in-law’s house in the pretext of running errands. The couple waited and waited, but she never returned.
The OP and her husband filed a police report, but the sister remained missing. All her kids stayed in their uncle and aunt’s house.
When the mother never returned, all the kids ended up staying in the OP’s house under her husband’s care. They lived in a one-bedroom apartment and the children had to use the living room to sleep.
The OP says their expenses drastically increased as they had more mouths to feed and she had to take care of the kids while working from home because they couldn’t afford a daycare and the husband did not have the option of working out of their home.
Husband wants to take care of the children
CPS eventually got involved and gave the OP and her husband the option to take them in if they didn’t want them to be rehomed.
The OP was adamant about not taking care of her nieces and nephews and supporting them for the next 16 years until they grew up, but her husband went against her. He told CPS he wanted to take care of his sister’s children.
The OP couldn’t believe her husband had violated a boundary of hers that was well-established.
That prompted her to ask for a divorce, and her husband called her an ‘AH’ for giving up on their marriage because of the kids.
Users empathize with the kids but respect OP’s decision
The majority of the readers feel sorry for the children for finding themselves in a very unfortunate situation. But, they respect the OP for standing her ground and moving on with her life when her husband violated the boundaries.
A few other users have supported the husband for wanting to take care of his sister’s children and they believe he did nothing wrong by being selfless.
One said: “No, stand your ground. Don’t take the kids and if you don’t want them. Lead your life the way you want to.”
“What a nightmare. No, friend. You are not the A. It’s just super sad for all of you,” said another.
“Let the man support his family. Stop attacking him,” one user with a different view commented.
Another said: “Damn! I feel bad for everyone involved, but it’s her decision”
“Leave quickly because you know he’s going to push all of child-raising on you,” wrote another reader.
