A bride shared how she ended her marriage just a day after their wedding. She explained that her husband didn’t listen to her one simple request and forcefully pushed her face into their wedding cake.
Under the pseudonym “Give Him Til February,” the woman reached out to the advice column Dear Prudence in the US magazine Slate. She shared that she got married just before Christmas but now aims to end her marriage due to her husband’s disrespectful actions.
She disclosed that she informed her husband the day after their wedding that their relationship was finished. However, over the Christmas break, several friends advised her to reconsider and give him another chance, urging her not to give up so quickly at the first difficulty.
Journalist Jenée Desmond-Harris, known for her Agony Aunt column, advised the woman to proceed with the divorce. She even questioned the intentions of the woman’s friends, suggesting that she should take note of those who don’t seem to prioritize her happiness.
“Make a mental note about which of your loved ones don’t seem to value your happiness.”
The column has gained widespread attention, going viral as hundreds of people express shock and disbelief at the husband’s actions.
“I never cared about getting married, but I wasn’t opposed to it. So when my boyfriend proposed in 2020, we decided to go for it. We each took on about half the responsibility for organizing the wedding, but I think I was pretty reasonable about compromise when he really wanted something. My only hard-and-fast rule was that he would not rub cake in my face at the reception,” the woman wrote.
“Being a reasonable man who knows me well, he didn’t. Instead, he grabbed me by the back of the head and shoved my head down into it. It was planned since the cake was DESTROYED, and he had a bunch of cupcakes as backup.”
She left the next day, but during the holidays, everyone has been urging her to reconsider and give him another chance. The newlywed also wondered if she was overreacting because she’s “very claustrophobic” due to a past car accident. She felt she absolutely panicked after being forcefully shoved into the cake.
She explained that she still loves him but doesn’t feel that way at the moment. Her friends advise her that divorcing so quickly is a serious mistake. However, many people responded, saying it was a red flag that her wishes weren’t respected.
“Not cool, doubt this was his first red flag but it should definitely be the last. RUN,” said one.
“She should have told him how much good wedding cake costs. Still I suppose less than the imminent divorce which should definitely be happening,” a second added.
“She set a clear boundary and he violated it. She’s right to dump his a**,” a third commented.
“It seems to me like him stating from the start that he doesn’t care about how she feels or what she asks for, so I’m team divorce for sure,” said another.
