Man Goes Behind Wife’s Back, Changes Halloween Costume at the Last Minute to Something 'More Manly'

Finding the perfect Halloween costume can be a difficult task, especially when you have to stick to a certain theme. One 34-year-old man's wife made it easy for him by deciding on their costume ahead of time — but he chose to switch things up at the last minute. The man shared in a Reddit post that he and his 34-year-old wife share two kids. Every year, his wife’s family has a theme for Halloween, and this year they chose Barbie. The man’s wife said they should dress up as characters from Barbie Princess Charm School, as that was her favorite Barbie movie growing up. While the man wasn't a fan of the costume idea, rather than talking to his wife, he took matters into his own hands. “I hate this theme and would rather go as something more manly that won't embarrass me in front of my neighbors and friends," he explained. "After work one night I stopped at the store and got myself a Batman costume instead." "I let my wife believe I was going as Barbie's love interest from the movie and would arrive later to the party because I was working late, when in all reality I was getting ready to wear the Batman costume,” he shared. When the man arrived at the party, his sisters-in-law greeted him at the door, but immediately "got mad" about his costume. He explained that he didn't like the original theme, so he chose his own. “At that point, my wife had found us and started yelling about how selfish I was and how this is the one time a year that she gets to let loose and have fun with the theme," he wrote. "She told me to leave and I drove to a friend’s house and am spending the night out of anger." His wife’s family has been “blowing up my phone telling me how selfish I am” and “calling me every name in the book.” He then blocked the family members and told his wife he needed a couple of days to “cool down.” The man realized he was “being a little selfish” and “should have stuck with the theme," but still asked for outside perspective on the matter. People in the comments section were quick to side with the wife, stating that if he were just upfront about it, there would be less of an issue. “You so desperately wanted to show everyone how ‘manly’ you are, and instead you’ve made yourself look like the little boy you really are,” one person wrote. “Mate, you had a chance to do the most manly thing ever; being a cool dad and husband, owning how silly you'd look while doing it. Now you've got a family who are mad at you, and you're down the cost of a costume, neither of which make you more manly,” another person wrote.
