Am I wrong??

Just trying to keep this short as possible.. So my family is having a trip to Chicago next month, but the problem is that my family doesn’t get along with my husband for personal reasons..My dad does though he doesn’t have a problem with him. So my dad called me asking if I can go with him & my uncles to Chicago for a few days along with my 11 year old. My son said he doesn’t want to go cuz he wants his dad to go with us. My husband is ok with not being invited, but he wants me to go with them since I’ve never been to Chicago. We both tried to convince my son to go with me & my family, but my son starts crying cuz he wants his dad to go, we said he can’t go cuz he needs to work “ he doesn’t know the right reasons why my husband wasn’t invited” as he is to young to understand. So I chose to not go & my husband said he wants me to go so I can experience flying on a plane with my family. I told him that I feel wrong for just going by myself & not taking them. My wife instincts says that I shouldn’t go knowing my husband is not invited, but my husband thinks I’m wrong because I should still go. So I decided to not go because I feel bad for my son & my husband. Am I wrong for not going?

I probably would have made the same decision, especially because your son doesn't want to go.

I agree, I wouldn’t go — your husband is sweet. Let him know you’re excited to one day go there with him and your son and make memories there together so you’re ok with skipping this trip. Maybe take your dad too since they get along. I wouldn’t enjoy myself if my husband was excluded.

That’s exactly what I told my son 😊 I told him I rather just go another time with him & my husband & experience that trip with them :) I know my dad, brothers & sister would love to join us as well.

Have you tried asking your dad if your partner can come along...?

@Ella My dad doesn’t mind him going, it’s more his side of the family. Let’s just say that they accused my husband of something without him defending himself & never let him give his side of the story.

Hard no. If my husband isn't invited because family is holding a grudge, I'm not doing a thing with that family until they get over it.

I would have gone to be honest
