A Reddit user recently shared a story on the subreddit r/relationship_advice that seems to highlight the challenges of being in a no-contact relationship. The user, identified as ThrowRA_Sectrill, found himself in a conflict with his wife after she invited his estranged brother, and the brother’s girlfriend to dinner against his explicit wishes.
The user, who is 29, stated that he had a very distant relationship with his 28-year-old brother since he was 18, only seeing him at major family events like funerals or weddings. He noted, “She has always known the score with me and him and she has been supportive of that until she pulled this stunt.” He made it clear that he would not attend any dinner involving his brother. However, his wife went ahead with the plans anyway, expecting him to show up so she wouldn’t be embarrassed.
