People Ask Us To Hear Out Their "Am I The Jerk" Narratives

"My husband runs a party entertainment company where he owns jumpy houses and hockey tables. Every Sunday he rents out a space where he charges people to play and makes a profit from it. So I was away taking care of personal matters when he initiated this business. While I was away he started pursuing it with his sister. Once I came back I without hesitation began to help out and wanted to partake in it. I didn´t want to step on anyone's toes because I wasn't there since the beginning so I felt like I had to respect their way of working. This continued for a couple of weeks and then my sister-in-law stopped going because she decided to spend this time with her partner instead, so I decided to take charge and help my husband out. One Sunday we were promoting a new jumpy house that we had just gotten and I was helping decide the price. My husband and his sister decided on a high price and customers were just not happy and leaving so I offered an idea that might work. I shared it with my husband he agreed, I shared it with my in-laws since they were there and they agreed as well, so I thought that we were gonna proceed with it. My sister-in-law came and talked to all of them and convinced them that I was wrong and before I knew it I was cornered by my in-laws and my husband about how I was wrong and that I was losing them money. Honestly, it made me feel like I had no place there and that I did not matter, just the way I was approached where it just felt like all of them were against me because I was literally against the wall and the four of them just explaining to me how I did not know anything and that they collectively decided that they were going to continue to charge more. I got frustrated and left. At the end of the day this business belongs to my husband only and I felt as his wife I had some right to contribute but they made it clear I should just not. So I decided to step away and mind my business. So from then on every Sunday I would stay to my business and let them do their thing. Now my sister-in-law got a new job and can't help my husband out so he wants me to start going to help him out. Honestly, I don't want to. So basically he is mad at me, and says I don't support him like a wife should because I said I don't want to help with the business anymore, and I don't feel like my place as his wife was respected. To be fair the only difference I added to their price was adding 5 more minutes to the playtime, I never asked to lower the price, they shouldn't have gotten so defensive."

You are basically their whipping boy and if you help him you will be blamed for everything and all of your ideas will get you ganged up on. Frankly, I'd think long and hard about whether or not your husband adds to your life or takes away from it. Also, I'd never go to any of his family functions again."

To fix it you backed away, now that it’s inconvenient to him he wants you back. Stand your ground, and tell him you did support him, he AND his family ganged up on you and told you that you had no idea how the business worked and pushed you out. Now you’re staying out. It was his decision, he chose to listen to his sister and he let them gang up on you to get their way, now he had to deal with the fallout of his own actions." Beautiful_Pain_7287
