I wouldn’t go tandem sky diving with my husband so he’s going with another woman – I’m concerned, but people tell me I’m being controlling

A woman has been told she is ‘controlling’ after revealing she is annoyed her husband is going skydiving with another woman.

The anonymous poster was taken to the British Parenting Forum Mothernet to ask others for their opinion on her dilemma.

And while it seemed like she was seeking some sympathy, many fellow forum users responded quite harshly to her post.

The original post (pictured) asked people for their thoughts on the dilemma, and whether it was reasonable

One wrote: ‘It’s kind of hard to get jiggy in the air in boiler suits

In her original post she wrote: ‘Partner wanted to do a charity skydive with some of his friends/colleagues. I declined because it’s not something I’m interested in.

“He said fine. And is he now doing the tandem skydive with one of his girlfriends?

‘AIBU (Am I unreasonable) to be concerned?’

Many of the people who commented on the post felt that since the woman had refused to go skydiving, her husband had no other choice.

‘Do not be crazy. It’s fine,” one person commented.

Another agreed, adding: “What exactly are your concerns?”

A third wrote: ‘I did a skydive with two work friends (one female, one male, and we were all single). It was just three colleagues jumping out of a plane.’

Meanwhile, a fourth commented: ‘He asked you first, implying you were his first choice. She’s his plan B.

Many commenters criticized the woman, with some calling her “controlling” and others branding her

‘What could happen? They dive with an instructor. Maybe it will be a bonding experience for them.

‘Do you have any concerns about this specific person? Or is there a history of your partner being unfaithful?’

Another wrote: ‘He has the right to do the activities he likes. You’re controlling.’

And another forum user added: ‘You’re being ridiculous. You said you weren’t interested, so your husband is doing the sky dive with someone else. Why the need for the drama?’

However, some respondents were slightly more sympathetic to the poster and its concerns.

One wrote: ‘He is with you, for you.

“Your insecurities are your own. Working on it.’

However, a number of respondents had more understanding of women’s insecurities and reported on them

Another added: ‘This thread has cheered me up. There’s nothing you have to worry about.’

A third added: “Unless there is history with women then YABU (You are unreasonable).”

Meanwhile, another respondent added: ‘Come along to watch and support, many novice jumpers bring friends and family to watch. This is no more likely to make him bond with her than any shared activity, and you can’t stop him from doing anything you don’t want to do!’

And a fifth wrote: ‘I understand why you don’t like it. I wouldn’t want my guy to get all excited about sharing experiences he will remember for the rest of his life with another woman.

“There’s not much you can do though, it’s a charity case and he asked you first. Just be supportive and go to the airport on the day to take photos.”
