Am I overreacting??

We all went for a trip to see lake and fall color. I just blindly followed my husband without looking at the trails or anything. Gotta 4 month old baby, and 5 year old. We took a wrong turn and the trail was going somewhere, we infact asked people if that trail would take us to the lake Nd three set of people set no, it won’t and suggested a different route. My husband was stubborn and wanted to follow what was in his mind. It was getting very dark and didn’t see anyone walking anymore. My 5 year old started crying Nd I was worried too . I kept telling my husband to go back still he was resistant till the point I started to come back. My point is, with two kids, even after getting that dark and people telling that route will not take it where we wanted, why he still wanted to go? When I confronted he started saying, that’s a loop it would have still taken to the lake if we had walked more and shouting at me back.. I don’t understand seriously!!

Show your support

Doesn't matter where it would have led. It was about to be dark, with 2 kids. "Hello oOoOO?? Time to go back now in any ways". The debate where the trail would have led is sterile. You will never know. He may be right but who cares. First doing the right thing for the kids and your own safety.

Not overreacting at all.

I maintain the right to end any hike at any point for any reason or no reason. In fact, that applies to any activity where we leave the house with the kids. You can Uber home, babe. We're done, and I'm going to go take care of the babies. 👋 Fortunately, my husband can read a map, but the more important skill is to read the room. The point of the trip is to have fun and bond as a family. If mom and dad are fighting about whether we're lost and going to die in the woods, we've lost the plot, and it's time to call it and live to try again another day.

Not at all *Hugs* That sounds really stressful. I'm glad you got home safe.

@Bonny This!!!!

I will never understand why some men refuse to accept help when it comes to directions 🤦🏻‍♀️ There is nothing wrong about it. And i personally think that admitting that someone doesn’t know the way or choosing to take the easy way of asking instead of wandering around is so much more mature and will make them look much better, but here we are But no, not overreacting at all. To me you even underreacted. The moment people said that it’s the wrong way I would have gone back

Not overreacting. His ego was high and wasn’t able to read the room. You are not responsible for his inability to be flexible and admit when he is wrong.
