In a bizarre turn of events, a wife (22F) finds herself in a heated battle with her husband (24M) over who gets to sit at the head of the dining table. The wife, who works full time and is the sole cook in the household, thought she'd enjoy a peaceful dinner after returning from a 5-week trip. Little did she know, her husband would throw a wrench in their evening by demanding the 'head of the family' seat. 😲🍽️
