My husband thinks what I did was cruel.
When my husband and his brother came back the next day, they were furious. Apparently, my MIL already called them and told them her side of the story. My husband asked me how I could do her dirty like that. I calmly told him that it wasn’t my intension, I simply forgot about her birthday, and it just happened to be on the same day I had planned a get-together with my friends. Is that a crime?
He refused to believe me, saying I remember it every year and host a party. What I couldn’t believe was his audacity. Since I didn’t talk about the party and preparations beforehand like I used to each year, my husband and his brother didn’t even know it was my MIL’s birthday until she called them.
They forgot lol. Her “real family”. So I simply said, “If her own sons can forget her birthday, and it’s not a big deal, so well, so can I, I’m just a stranger anyway,” and walked off.
Now there’s this silent tension in our home, and it’s so uncomfortable. I think I heard my MIL crying. Should I go apologize to her? Was I in the wrong here?
