It is important to highlight that when making individual decisions in a relationship, consideration should be given to open communication and mutual respect.
While opinions may vary, some people may view obtaining partner consent as a showing consideration and respect, especially when it comes to permanent changes to the body, such as a tattoo.
In the course of her account, the woman shared that her husband felt betrayed by the fact that she got a tattoo without his knowledge.
Man feels betrayed by wife getting tattoo
She explained that the decision to get the tattoo was made during a weekend with friends. The idea was to celebrate and remember a difficult period marked by illness in family members and grief.
The post revealed that the woman's husband is furious, not just because of the tattoo itself, but also because they didn't discuss it beforehand. The man expressed that he hates tattoos and believes she got the tattoo out of spite for him.
The woman also shared that she already has three much larger tattoos, done before meeting her husband. She mentions that he had previously mentioned that she didn't like tattoos, but that didn't make her think he would react that way.
She said her husband compared her decision to get a tattoo to having an affair, expressing that he felt "betrayed" by her choice.
The woman reported that she apologized and offered to remove the tattoo with a laser, but the husband she declined, stating that it would scar and that the damage was already done.
Still according to the deponent, she explained to her husband that, in the heat of the moment, she believed that the only option would be divorce, if he considered it comparable to breaking marriage vows. However, the husband responded with the silent treatment and opted to sleep in a separate bedroom.
Afterwards, he reiterated that he apologized and tried to explain the reason behind the decision to get the tattoo. He pointed out that it is very small, it is in a visible part of the body, but it can be covered.
The forum revealed opinions
Interestingly, some people in the comments agreed with the assessment of the situation, emphasizing the importance of bodily autonomy and the issue of control.
One person pointed out that the husband may be angry that the wife made a decision about her own body without prioritizing it, suggesting that this is an issue of control.
Another person expressed the opinion that the husband may have his preferences, but comparing a tattoo to having an affair is taken out of context and may indicate a possessive mindset, which is a red flag in a relationship.
