This decision has caused a rift between him and his wife, leading to her leaving with their daughter to stay with her family. The father is now questioning whether he was in the wrong for leaving. While his friends believe his wife is being unfair, his mother has cursed him out for his actions. Was he justified in taking a break or should he have stayed to help his wife with their sick child?

When a parent is sick, it can be tough to take care of a young child. This is especially true when the child has special needs. One husband found himself in this situation when his daughter became ill and refused to sleep without her mother. To give his wife a break, he woke up early every morning to take care of their daughter. But when he wanted to go on a ski trip with his friends, his wife shut him down. Feeling frustrated and exhausted, he left for the trip without telling his wife until he was already gone. When he returned, his wife and daughter were staying with her family and she was angry. Who is in the wrong here? Was the husband selfish for leaving, or was the wife overreacting? Read on to find out what people are saying in the comments.
