When you book a holiday with your partner, the last thing you expect to happen is for them to change the reservation and add another person to the booking, right?
Well that exact situation happened with this fuming Redditor, and it only got worse from there.
Not only did she have to endure their romantic getaway being ruined by the unexpected plus one, but her husband also made a very unreasonable request.
She took to Reddit to ask whether she was a bad person for finding this whole situation incredibly weird.
She wrote: “I'll preface this by saying that my husband (33) has a friend 'Carl' (33) who he considers to be one of his closest friends.
"My husband sometimes calls Carl his 'nicotine' because of how much he misses him and wants to spend time with him, they do everything together, they're even co-workers working the same job.
“Unfortunately, Carlos's wife passed away from cancer three months ago which caused him to distance himself. My husband felt devastated for him, he recently started spending more time with him and brought him meals and new clothes.
“We planned a three-day vacation to another state. I made a hotel reservation for two.
"Unbeknownst to me, my husband had invited Carl to come with us, this made me upset because it spoiled the entire vacation (not trying to be dramatic) I only found out when he went to pick him up.
What do you think about the husband's actions? Let us know in the comments...
“I sucked it up after my husband explained that Carl is a recent widower who's been wallowing in grief for so long and needed this vacation. The problem is money is tight and since Carl hasn't worked since his wife passed he couldn't pay for his own room and we didn't have a budget for it.
“My husband said we should just share one room and I again sucked it up since he said we'd be out all day on the beach anyway.
"First night, I was in bed when my husband and Carl got back, I got woken up by my husband telling me to get out of bed and sleep on the mattress he put for me on the floor and he and Carl would take the bed.
“I asked if he was serious and he asked what else is he supposed to do, he said Carl was a guest we can't let him sleep on the floor and at the same time I can't share a bed with Carl while he (my husband) sleeps on the floor.
“I told him I didn't sign up for this but he told me to suck it up and tried to pull 'Carl is a widower' card. I told Carl to get out then got up and got dressed to go home.
“My husband started yelling at me calling me irrational but I wasn't having it. I left the hotel and travelled back home. Carl didn't say anything when he saw me leave except that I was making this non-issue an issue.
“They got back and my husband refused to even talk about it but still said I ruined this for Carl and us and acted abhorrently and disgustingly. I admit Carl is struggling and I might have ruined this for him but I didn't even know he was coming.”
We think being asked to sleep on the floor would’ve been the last straw for us too, and others were quick to defend the original poster.
One said: “Uh.. no shade here. I think your husband might be into men, specifically Carl. I’m not going to throw my wife to the curb for a friend. Compassion and empathy are one thing but this is just plain insanity.

“Might want to get some therapy or have some hard convos.” - Yikes.
Another wrote: “I would point blank be asking my husband if he’s into Carl. At no time is it appropriate to invite someone on a couple's vacay without even discussing it with your partner, and then, wake that partner up and tell them to sleep on the floor. What the f**k.”
“Yep, her husband made it pretty damn clear that she’s the third wheel in his and Carl’s relationship”, another fumed.
