I’m not with either of them. Sure, he shouldn’t have brought it up, but he only posed an idea. She also could’ve said, “I’d rather wait.” If you can’t speak up to your own spouse, you need to work on that.

Shut up, Eugene :
NTA it doesn't sound like he did it bc he was rushing to get away (he waited to see them safe inside), i feel like it was more bc he thought his wife wouldn't want to wait too long when she's so close to be inside the house

NTA even a little bit. This was a very normal thing he proposed. She could have said she wanted to wait 🤷🏻♂️He would only have been TA if he said “gtfo” or dint want them to stay once she spoke up.

zephyr_umbrella :
sorry what are you guys on about? at least from the way he described it; they'd been waiting for a while so he just asked if she wanted to keeping waiting or just walk over, then proceeded to watch them until they were safely in the house... how is the red flag behaviour? that's a super normal thing to do

NTA. She had a choice. She could have waited in the car for who knows how long or she could walk a small distance to her parents house to be there earlier. He waited until they got inside before turning around, so he wasn't in a hurry. And I understand the gate still wasn't open. It's the same as if he asked her if she wanted icecream, her saying no and then blaming him for not getting icecream.....

@djfs97 :
Unless I misheard it, he waited for them to get to the house. He did not wait for the train so I don’t think he’s the asshole. He made sure they made it in safely and then he turned around so that he NO ONE had to wait for the train. Sometimes trains can take up to an hour to fully pass and it hadn’t even arrived yet so I would say NTA.

asking "do u want to wait or do you want to walk over urself?" isn't saying "I don't want to wait" it's literally giving u options
"I felt pressured to say yes" that doesn't sound like a healthy relationship, what else does she "feel pressured to say yes" to?

OctaviaDaenerys :
Sitting in the car is boring af, it’s likely he asked because he knew this and it seems ridiculous to be stuck waiting in a car for an indeterminate amount of time when you can see your destination a few feet away. I’d have asked anyone I was driving the same.

NTA. I would have been the one to say "are you cool if we just hop out and walk?" I'm not waiting forever for a train.

Eden & Niko :
I feel like it's not a "you waited anyway" situation. yeah, he waited until they entered the house. but if they spent five minutes waiting for a train to appear and it didn't, how much longer would they have waited?

I would have been out the car before he even asked, but I have no patience.

NTA because he asked her and she said she was fine with it and then later changed her mind and was upset with him. She could have easily said no and he would have just waited.

Ajenkins :
NTA. She could've said no if she didn't want to get out and walk. I don't see how it would be a problem as it was just a suggestion. I probably would've walked myself to avoid waiting longer for a train.

liddyann :
Uhhh NTA. He asked and she could have said she could wait. If she didn’t feel comfortable going then she needs to speak up and communicate that. Sounds like she told her parents this and they blew it out of proportion. The husband didn’t do anything wrong.

Assassain8 :
NTA.
The red flag wasnt that she "felt the pressure". The red flag was that SHE SAID she'd walk AND THEN made him feel guilty about it. If she felt pressured/afraid to tell him she would wait, she would have felt pressured/afraid to tell him that she was upset. He gave her 2 options. SHE picked.
Feels like if the wait was really long, she would have said "u know u could have told me to just walk across instead of waiting this long. and u could have left earlier to meet your friends too".
so SHE sounds like the A and the red flag.

Claus :
But he just waited the time it took to his wife to reach her parents house not the time they would have to wait for the railroad to open. In the other hand he could have greeted his in-laws before leaving

MettlesomeMillenial :
NTA - The context given in the story makes them not the asshole. he asked an open end question she answered they are both adults. They are married. Communication goes both ways. He asked a question. She got in her head that she felt pressure and she answered it. He still waited. He offered to stay. He asked her opinion me I would not want to stay in the car unless it was bad weather I would get annoyed standing in the car when it’s taking me longer to get somewhere then what it should and the weather is fine I would’ve absolutely said. Yes I will get out and walk. You can literally see where I’m walking to. It’s not far I don’t wanna sit here and wait while we guards are down. She was perfectly capable of saying that he didn’t pressure her. He asked a question there is nothing wrong with asking you a question especially when there was no pressure applied.

Smelting S’mores :
NTA, he asked what the wife wanted to do and she chose to walk. She could have easily chose to stay with him or explained the gate wasn’t opening to her parents if she was embarrassed. Like he said, he had no idea how long the gate would be closed. I live next to a train station and it’s taken 20min before the gate lifted once so I get not wanting to wait if you don’t have to. It’s a communication issue at the end of the day.
