Couples, Relationships
ADVERTIsem*nT
The art of compromise is key to any successful relationship, from business to romance. Most of us might agree to this in theory, but actually agreeing to not do what you want is a lot harder in practice. So hard, in fact, that sometimes we don’t even understand where we should have compromised.
A woman asked the internet if she was wrong for requesting that her husband come to her black-tie corporate event, despite the fact that he was still grieving the death of his uncle. Netizens did their best to show her the error of her ways.
Sometimes you have to set your desires aside for your partner

I am a writer at Bored Panda. Despite being born in the US, I ended up spending most of my life in Europe, from Latvia, Austria, and Georgia to finally settling in Lithuania. At Bored Panda, you’ll find me covering topics ranging from the cat meme of the day to red flags in the workplace and really anything else. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, beating other people at board games, cooking, good books, and bad films.

I'm a visual editor at Bored Panda. I kickstart my day with a mug of coffee bigger than my head, ready to tackle Photoshop. I navigate through the digital jungle with finesse, fueled by bamboo breaks and caffeine kicks. When the workday winds down, you might catch me devouring bamboo snacks while binging on the latest TV show, gaming or I could be out in nature, soaking up the tranquility and communing with my inner panda.

The use of the word 'funcle' says it all. Also nowhere did she say that the uncle died unexpectedly, and still she complained that they didn't have a date in 6 months. And that makes me wonder. I think the uncle was already sick quite a while and his death didn't come unexpectedly. He suffered and inevitably died. But she was too exited about her work event to see any of that. Her husband had to deal with the rejection of his father who never cared for him, and another relative stepped up and became his father figure. And now this person died and he's grieving. But his wife can't bother to be there, oh no. She calles the man who gave him back his feelings of being wanted and became his father figure a fun uncle to minimise their relationship and demands that he socialises a week after burying him. As if he'd just flushed a goldfish. That's despicable. If it was the woman grieving her beloved aunt and the man making that demand for a work event, everyone would pile on him.

Fr. People like that are why it’s so hard for a ton of dudes to open up. Like the husband lost a loved one and is a bad person for being upset???
