In another unusual scenario, a woman turned to Reddit for advice on whether she would be unjust if she left for the airport without her husband as he failed to pack his stuff on time.

Taking to the 'Am I the A**hole' (AITA) forum, the Original Poster (OP) shared her thoughts about the same in the post titled "AITAH if I take the flight without my husband?"

Expressing her issue, the OP said that her husband works at the church which "he prioritizes it to an inappropriate degree."

"Today, we are supposed to take a flight today to visit my family. He just began packing today despite me telling him to pack earlier," the OP shared.

The woman shared that the trip was for eight days and she was busy packing her and their baby's things.

"I couldn’t pack up the baby’s stuff earlier because he’s extremely spitty and if I washed everything he would have just spit up all over it again and we would be at square one. So I just did a big load of his stuff," she explained.

According to the OP, their flight was supposed to depart at 7:30. "It’s 2PM. He just left to shovel the church. It takes him an hour to travel there and an hour to travel back," the OP said of her husband.

He hasn't been fully packed yet. The OP said she had been anticipating this vacation for months, but it appeared as if he was deliberately making bad plans so they don't have to go.

The frustrated OP shared her issues with her husband, saying, "My first issue is that he is literally leaving everything to the last minute. My second issue is that he’s putting the entire burden of baby care to me AGAIN. I had baby most of the day yesterday, last night, and the majority of the day today."

Seeking advice from the Reddit forum, the OP asked, "AITAH if I leave for the airport without him if he takes too long to come back?"

Redditors support OP and ask her to take a 'stress-free trip'

The Reddit community supported the woman and declared that she was not an a**hole for continuing on the trip on her own.

One Redditor said, "NTA. I hope you tell him that there’s a big conflict in his prioritizing church service without treating his own wife accordingly—like according to Ephesians 5:25-28."

Another commented, "NTA. He’s being super inconsiderate. You’ve been juggling everything while he’s procrastinating and prioritizing church over your plans. It’s not about him helping out at church, it’s about him not being responsible and respectful of your time. You deserve to have a stress-free trip!"

"Text him you will see him at the airport. Take an uber to airport and if he shows up great but if not get on your flight and go see your family. NTA," suggested one person.

Another remarked, "Honestly, it sounds like you’ve been doing all the work and he’s been taking advantage of your patience. If he’s not ready by the time you need to leave, I say go without him. You deserve to enjoy this trip too, not just be stuck cleaning up his mess."

"Nta. Leave a note "Gone to see my family as planned, and will use this time to really think about everything in our relationship,"" an individual added.
