Men suck is a theme today

Dear Prudence,

My husband played a perverse prank on my sister and now she’s furious. My sister’s birthday was two weeks ago, and I had originally purchased a nice crystal bud vase for her as a gift. I don’t know how he did it, but my husband swapped it out for a dildo, likely when he was tasked with dropping it off at the UPS Store. When I told him about the irate call I received from my sister after she opened the package, he laughed until he had tears streaming down his face. He refuses to apologize and has accused us both of lacking a sense of humor. Is this sort of thing grounds for reconsidering my marriage?

  • Yes.  Yes it is.

    Granted, I don't have a sister and have a gay brother but...I would not find this funny at all.

    So, I would find myself at an impasse.  It was an unfunny prank, pissed off you, the recipient and also was a betrayal of your trust.

    So, let him refuse to apologize.  I would not engage with someone who engaged in subterfuge and was untrustworthy and refused to apologize for it.  Did you get married at 16 and are you a newlywed??  WTF. 
  • I would find this hilarious. As would my sister.

    The refusal to apologize and doubling down <gaslighting> are worse than the prank (which was crass imo, I understand everyone has their own sense of humor/tolerance for pranks). 

    But…has he given you reasons to reconsider your marriage before?  If this was the first and only instance ever, I think it’d be a teeny bit of a leap? I’d probably attend couples counseling as a first step. He has to understand that if he makes a habit of not apologizing and instead makes excuses, the joke will eventually be on him.
