Moving away can be a difficult decision, especially when it involves leaving loved ones behind. For one man, this decision has sparked a family feud between his wife and his mother. The conflict stems from the fact that the wife has a better job opportunity in another city and they have decided to move.

The mother, who has been taking care of their kids while they work, is upset and threatening to take them to court for grandparents' rights. The man finds himself caught in the middle of this battle, torn between supporting his wife and understanding his mother's feelings.

Despite both parties having valid arguments, he chooses to stay out of it, leaving his wife feeling unsupported. But is he really in the wrong for trying to see both sides? A**hole or just caught in a tough situation?

You be the judge.
