A woman and her husband had a tradition of spending Christmas in Hawaii with their kids. However, last year, due to a family tragedy, they couldn't go. This year, they planned to go to Hawaii for Christmas, but the husband changed his mind and wanted to stay home with his grieving mother. The woman proposed that she and the kids go to Hawaii and the husband stay home, which he agreed to, but he was clearly upset. Now the woman is in Hawaii with the kids, while the husband is home alone and not responding much to her messages. AITA?
