What started as a heartwarming family tradition turned into a whirlwind of drama when our protagonist, who’s been separated from her husband for 8 months, gets added to the vacation planning group chat. She tries to leave, but her MIL keeps adding her back, and eventually, the family starts hounding her to join the trip. Her husband, who she hasn’t seen or spoken to in months, chimes in, promising to stay away from her during the vacation. This infuriates her, leading to a very rude message and a declaration that the family holiday is a sham! She leaves the chat, only to find out her family has been uninvited from the trip, leaving her sister devastated and her parents fuming. The in-laws are also hurt by her comment, and now everyone’s upset! Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
