We're back today to discuss yet another awesome Reddit post from the AITA thread that we always like looking into. These posts are always interesting to look into because they usually have a pretty interesting story or situation attached, plus all of the interesting perspectives that people have in the comments.

So with that being said, today's post was submitted by a wife who is looking for more information and opinions on whether or not she's in the wrong for how she feels about her husband taking solo trips. She gives us some background and explains that her husband is a really good guy all around, but this is the biggest problem that she has with him in their relationship.

She came to Reddit to explain their situation and how many trips her husband usually takes per year. She goes into some details, but ultimately people in the comments have some pretty broad opinions and speculations about this situation.

If this sounds like something you'd like to hear more about, then keep on reading as we dive into this post and show you all of the comments on it to give all the different perspectives. Without further ado, let's dive into this and see what happened and what people have to say.

OP starts off by advocating for her husband and saying that he is involved and he's great and that he's wonderful when he's around.

However, she then goes on to explain that the trips he takes is to see a friend and they can be a little excessive at times.

She goes into details about the particular locations that they are going to visit and overall just what the trip is about and why it's bothering her.

This is where she explains the rest of the conversation which is where some people get stuck because his response to her feelings was not at all what they expected.

She wants to know if she's being unreasonable about this and balancing his social life with parenting versus hers.

She also wants to know if she will be TA if she asks him to take a shorter trip than they had planned.

People immediately came to the comments and already had an idea of what they thought was going on with the husband.

People started coming in with all the ideas on what her husband is doing and with who. Unfortunately, none of these things are probably what OP wants to hear.

This is also a huge point too because he can't be that involved as a father if he is gone twice a month for days at a time.

The suspicions continue as people say that her husband is probably having an affair and that it's weird he always travels to see the friend but the friend never comes to see him.

This comment had so much to say to OP and we really hope that she took some of this to heart so she can look at this situation from a different POV.

Whether he's actually sleeping with someone else or not, there is a huge problem with the amount of time he's taking away from his family.

They go into the details of what her husband said and basically called BS to everything he said.

They suggested for her not to ask him to scale back the trip but rather for him to not go at all because he doesn't need to.

We definitely feel like this situation has more to it and we are sad for OP to come and read all of these comments that she probably didn't want to hear. We hope things work out for her and they get things solved to where they are both happy though.
