She claimed that this misunderstanding was a very traumatizing experience for her but this angered the poster as he couldn’t believe she abandoned their babaies
The poster also thought that she was being a hypocrite because she would’ve filed for divorce if he had done it, which angered him more
Today, we dive into a tale about a home invasion, well, not really, because it all turned out to be a big misunderstanding. Reddit userpine123245tells us that while he was at work, his wife was alone at the house with their 8-month-old twins when the supposed home invasion occurred.
The woman saw a man at their front door who had a hammer and was trying to get in, and when he saw her, he even waved at her. In a panic, she fled the house from the back door, but she left behind her phone, Apple Watch, and their twinbabies,who were sleeping in their crib!
When she managed to get some help and contacted the police, things unraveled as they found out that the alleged home invader was actually a repairman who came to the wrong house. After thewifecalled the poster and claimed this to be the most traumatizing experience, he was very angry as he couldn’t fathom how she abandoned their twins when she fled.
Now, the poster was also annoyed about two things: the first, she abandoned the babies, and if the guy had been a real threat, who knows what he could’ve done. The other is that if the situation was reversed, she would’ve filed fordivorceif he left the babies. Moreover, she was furious that he was supporting her when she expressed how it was traumatizing for her.
After the story went viral, many people commented that apart from the whole misunderstanding, thecouplehad some real problems that they needed to solve, and many even suggested therapy. The poster updated that his wife doesn’t believe in therapy and even mocks him for going to it and calls him a “depression case”, which stunned netizens.

There were quite a few people online who could completely understand the poster’s fury at his wife for abandoning their twin babies in the house. It has beenobservedthat the US experiences approximately 1.5 million home invasions yearly, making it a common yet serious threat to residential security.
Astudyof home invasions in Atlanta, Georgia, found that 20% of cases resulted in injury, including 3% who were shot. When we look at the data, we realize why some folks could relate to the poster’s anger for leaving the babies alone. Many highlighted that if it really was an invader, he could’ve harmed the babies.
There were also a few who said that they couldn’t really judge the situation because they couldn’t figure out what the wife would have done if the person attacked her and how she was supposed to run away with two babies. They also stated that the woman not using her phone in such a situation but opting to flee for help sounded strange to them.
Some also pointed out that the poster was being harsh on her, as she had delivered twins just a couple of months back, and he should be more understanding. However, a few people argued that the woman sounded quite abusive and manipulative, and the couple really needed to get counseling.
Some even noted that their relationship did not sound healthy at all and their constant fighting and screaming at each other (that the poster commented about) would definitely have an adverse impact on the kids. A few also said that there was no point in forcing a dead relationship as that’s what it sounded to them.
