Money was tight, and the husband had asked her to sleep on the floor while he and his friend took the bed. She refused and left. Was it wrong for the wife to go home after being asked to sleep on the floor? It's a difficult situation and one that has sparked debate on the internet.

My husband and his "nicotine" friend Carl, who are both 33 and co-workers, share a special bond.

A widower's unexpected vacation request tests a couple's relationship 🤔

When a widower friend of a 33-year-old husband asked to join the couple on their 3-day vacation, the husband thought it would be a good opportunity for his friend to get away from his grief. But the wife didn't know about the invitation and the surprise put a damper on the vacation. The husband insisted that they share a room and the wife refused, leading to an argument. The husband accused her of being irrational, while the wife felt that she was not consulted and had not signed up for a shared room. In the end, the wife left the hotel, leaving the husband and the widower's friend to continue the vacation. How would you have handled the situation?
