Family drama can be tough, especially when it comes to in-laws. One woman took to the Am I The Asshole subreddit to ask if she was in the wrong for leaving her fiancé alone after he compared her to his mom. The woman had been caring for her fiancé after his heart surgery, but he became ungrateful and started comparing her to his mom. He even said that his mom should have been the first woman in his life. The woman couldn't handle it and left to stay with her cousin. Now, she's asking if she's the asshole for leaving him alone. Read on to find out what Redditors had to say about the situation.

When it comes to relationships, setting boundaries is important. This woman did just that when her fiancé’s mother constantly competed with her. After her fiancé had heart surgery, she was the one caring for him 24/7. However, he started being ungrateful and comparing her to his mom. He gave her backhanded compliments and even said that she should be the first woman in his life. Fed up with his behavior, she walked out and went to stay at her cousin's house. Who’s in the wrong here? Is she the one who should have called his mom? Let’s take a look at what people have to say in the comments.
