“She Can Be That Petty”: Man Leaves Wife Behind After She Wanted To Ruin His Brother’s Wedding

Weddings are monumental occasions for the couple to enjoy. Part of the celebration is an unwritten rule: the bride is the only one who wears white on the big day. 

This arrangement became a problem when a woman wanted to steal the show by wearing a white dress at the ceremony, much to her husband’s dismay. It became a headache for the man because his brother was getting married. 

The husband ultimately decided to exclude his wife from the wedding, which only worsened the situation.

    Entitled people will always have an agenda

    The man’s wife seemingly felt entitled to steal the bride’s thunder by wearing a white dress to the wedding. She likely knows it will cause a stir, yet she makes excuses to force the issue. 

    While she didn’t vocalize it, the woman also appeared intent on ruining the day because of her rift with the bride. According to relationship expert Dr. Barton Goldsmith, entitled people always have an agenda. 

    Dr. Goldsmith likewise noted that a sense of entitlement is typically rooted in deep-seated factors. It could stem from an underprivileged background or from consuming media that presents a blurred version of reality. 

    “Our personal histories or exposure to the media can let us forget that it is love that is meant to keep us together, not things, toys, or travel to exotic lands,” Dr. Goldsmith wrote. 

    Dealing with an entitled person, a significant other, at that, can be tricky. Attempting to reason is typically futile and a waste of effort. However, there are effective ways to go about it. 

    Licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Jade Wu says the top priority would be firmness in declining the person’s unreasonable request. However, she also advised using compassion along with a pragmatic approach because there’s only so much you can do with an entitled person.

    In the story’s case, the husband’s decision to leave his wife behind was his way of putting his foot down and refusing to accept her behavior. The woman was out of control and could potentially ruin someone else’s big day – all because she was acting out of spite.

My love for images and experience in layering goes well with both creating collages by hand and working with digital images as an Editor. When I’m not using my kitchen area as an art studio I also do various experiments making my own cosmetics or brewing kombucha. When I’m not at home you would most definitely find me attending a concert or walking my dog.

    Perfectly said. And wearing white at a wedding doesn’t necessarily hurt the bride. It shows everyone there what a tacky, rude, and socially inept a-hole you are.
