The post, shared on r/inlaws on November 12, had drawn 233 comments at the time of publication. The woman began the post by writing that her sister-in-law had booked concert tickets for herself and the woman’s husband for November 14 without asking them beforehand. The poster also wrote that she did not even want to attend the concert. She described her sister-in-law as an okay person, which was why she wanted to know whether she was overreacting. The woman explained that her husband did not want to attend the concert if she would not be there. The only reason he was considering going was that nobody else was planning to accompany his sister.
