A 43-year-old man and his wife, Christy, have a 13-year-old daughter named Ava who wants to go to boarding school for high school. There is no problem at Ava’s current school; she just wants to try something new and has done her own research on programs. The father is okay with her wanting to go and thinks it could be a good experience, but his wife quickly shot down the idea, saying Ava should stay home because she will “only be around for a few more years anyway.” She wouldn’t even talk about the possibility anymore.
The father got angrier as Christy kept interrupting him and talking over his points. He told her to “be quiet for one damn second” when he was angry. This ended the conversation completely, and there was still tension between them. He is now wondering if he went too far or if it was okay for him to be angry because she was being so dismissive.
AITA For Telling my wife to “be quiet”?
