“NTA. As a wife, I, maybe vindictively, would just LOVE it, if you texted them: Just FYI, my WIFE was the one pushing for a relationship with you. She loves you, wants whats best for our relationship as parents and child, and never ever stood in the way of that. You two did that yourselves with your argumentative words negative attitudes. You alone were responsible for ending our relationship. The way you spoke of her speaks volumes of what type of people YOU are. It’s shameful. My wife is my family, first and foremost, and until she gets a genuine, heartfelt apology, this is the last you will hear from me. I’d also tack on that they raised you to be a better person than all this, and you’re ashamed of their actions…But I like to burn bridges with toxic people and bask in the warmth of the fire. Lol. Also I am way petty, lol. Back to the NTA: I’m glad you were honest with your wife, it may have hurt, but you covering it up would have hurt more, because it would have made it seem like it was done to protect your parents and placed you on their side instead of hers. Unfortunately that’s what they’ve made this into, them or her. It hurts, but I feel like you’ve already chosen and are happy with your decision. I support it for what it is worth! Hugs to both of you.”
“I don’t think it’s vindictive, I actually think at least that first paragraph should be sent to them. Because they clearly don’t understand that. While an entirely different situation, my fiancé is fairly anti having kids (I could take it or leave it, but am not anti-child), his mother took me aside to tell me how much it hurt that I didn’t want to give him children. I told her she needed to speak with her son about that, not me. He was pretty pissed off (with her) when he found out. But now she is no longer under any illusion that I’m the one in the way of her having grand babies. Before then she had been not exactly cold, but not the warmest to me either. Now we’re fairly close. Point being, he needs to communicate with his parents his feelings and not let them assume it’s his wife’s doing.”
