A Woman’s Husband Called Her a ‘Buzzkill’ for Not Laughing When He Teased Her Appearance at Her Birthday Party – The Next Morning, He Found What She’d Left for Him on Their Kitchen Table and Shouted, ‘What Have You Done?!’

“Why would you make something like this?”

“You’re deliberately embarrassing me!”

I raised an eyebrow.

“Interesting. I thought you loved jokes.”

My husband stared at me.

Then, his phone rang.

It was his mother.

“I thought you loved jokes.”

He answered, listened for a moment, and suddenly shouted, “Mom, you can’t seriously be involved in this!”

I covered my mouth.

Whatever my mother-in-law (MIL), Diane, said next wiped the anger off his face. Then, Tyler looked at me.

“You ordered SIX?”

I nearly choked on my coffee.

To understand why my MIL suddenly got involved in my scandal, I need to explain what happened the night before.

“You can’t seriously be involved in this!”

***

I’d just turned 38.

For weeks, I’d been looking forward to celebrating my birthday. I’d planned the party meticulously because I wanted it to be special.

I booked a nice restaurant and invited everyone: co-workers, childhood friends, relatives, and friends Tyler and I had known for years.
