A woman is questioning whether she and her husband were in the wrong for leaving her in-laws’ dinner after they brought up her husband’s ex-girlfriend. The ex-girlfriend, Emma, had previously crossed boundaries and tried to kiss the woman’s husband. Despite this, the in-laws continued to talk about Emma and even joked about wanting her to date their son. When the couple stood up for themselves and left, the in-laws called them uncivilized and blamed them for ruining the friendship between their son and Emma. Do you think the couple was in the wrong for leaving, or were the in-laws out of line for continually bringing up an ex-girlfriend who disrespected their relationship?
