Wife stunned after mother-in-law gives her husband album filled with pictures of his EX for Christmas
IT’S not something we’re particularly proud of – but admit it, we’ve ALL Facebook stalked our partners’ exes at one point or another. Fact.
But while most of us don’t like to dwell on the fact that our partners had romantic interests before us, one woman has been forced to confront this sad fact when her husband’s in-laws presented him with an album full of photos of his EX for Christmas.
Posting on Reddit’s “Am I the A*****” forum, the woman explained: “My husband got a beautiful present from his parents – a photo album with printed pictures telling his story from the beginning.
“Very emotional… except for a little detail. I only appear in one of these pictures – a picture featuring four people where my face is not even visible.”
The woman – who is still “madly in love” with her husband after 11 years – continued: “The present was only for my husband and the focus was on him being a child with his family.”
And before we all accuse this woman of overreacting, she then revealed that her husband’s ex-girlfriend popped up frequently and there’s even a “portrait of her alone”.
She insisted: “I understand that she’s part of his story and I’m not jealous at all.”
Naturally, the woman studied the entire thing closely and was disappointed to hardly feature in the album charting her husband’s life.
“I was there when the album was given,” she wrote. “And explored page by page and frankly I was totally embarrassed when the last page was turned and I found out I wasn’t in any of the pictures.”
Asking whether she should bring it up with her in-laws who have “always been very kind” to her, the woman added: “I didn’t say anything to them but now I can’t explain it to myself. My husband didn’t react either and now is struggling to find a justification.”
There are a lot pictures with friends. There are even pictures of his ex girlfriend – including one portrait of her alone…
Needless to say, her dilemma sparked a strong response among users – with the overwhelming majority arguing that she was right to be hurt by the snub.
One replied: “If his ex and friends were not in the album then I’d say they were just focusing on the immediate family. I feel like they really liked his ex.
“Who would add an entire photo on somebody’s ex and not his wife? That sounds spiteful to me.”
Another added: “Your husband needs to bring this up to them. Including a freaking portrait of an ex-girlfriend and not a single photo of his wife of seven years is not an accident.
“And if it was an accident, any reasonable.person would recognise that it sure doesn’t look like one…”
