Wife Takes A 4-Day Vacation Leaving Husband With All The Chores

When a wife asks for help with the chores, a husband should step up, right? But what happens when he doesn’t? One wife decided to take matters into her own hands and planned a 4-day vacation away from home, leaving her son with her mom and her husband with all the household chores. But instead of enjoying her time away, she found herself arguing with her husband via text, who accused her of being selfish for taking a vacation without him. She had asked for help before, but he hadn’t listened. Was she in the wrong for taking a break?
