Mark’s son’s graduation celebration turned sour when his in-laws asked him to pay the tip after his father-in-law covered the $1,700 bill. Mark refused, leading to an argument, and he left the dinner. Later, Mark received a text from his wife accusing him of ruining the celebration and embarrassing her in front of her family.
When Mark returned home, he found his wife had moved out, taking most of her belongings. She hasn’t responded to his attempts to reach her, leaving him feeling confused and hurt.
Mark believes his father-in-law’s behavior was the real issue and feels betrayed by his wife for not supporting him. He’s now questioning whether his reaction was wrong.
Mark is seeking advice on whether he overreacted or if his wife’s response was unjustified.
