In a letter to Dear Abby, a woman expresses her frustration over her husband's behavior at his aunt's anniversary celebration, where she was seated alone away from the main festivities. She felt overlooked when her husband was invited to sit at the head table without considering her. The following day, when she shared her feelings of hurt, her husband dismissed her concerns, labeling her feelings as selfish. Dear Abby sympathizes with her, emphasizing that the coordination of seating should reflect couple invitations and that the husband's actions were inconsiderate.
If you and your husband were invited as a couple, there should have been an assigned seat for you at one of the tables. You should not have been seated alone next to a bathroom.
You owe no one an apology for feeling rightfully offended. The event coordinator has plenty to apologize for, and so does your thoughtless, self-centered husband.
Her husband thought it was selfish on her part since it was such a special event for his aunt Diana, showing a lack of empathy for her feelings.
This scenario presents the question of whether it’s acceptable for someone to prioritize their family over their partner in social situations.
