AITAH for wanting to take a break from my wife after she emasculated me in front of our friend group?
A couple, married for 10 years with three young children (aged 7, 5, and 3), hosted a dinner party for some college friends and their families. The evening involved drinks, and eventually, most of the group became quite intoxicated.
During the gathering, the husband's wife made a public comment about his physical attributes, joking that despite his size, he was effective, pointing to their three children as proof. This comment caused immediate awkwardness among the guests.
After everyone left, the husband refused to speak to his wife and slept on the couch, leading to a difficult morning where her apology was met with his emotional withdrawal.

The Original Poster (OP) is currently struggling with intense feelings of betrayal and humiliation following his wife's public disclosure of a private s*xual detail.
His current emotional state involves a complete shutdown of communication and affection toward his wife, despite her showing remorse, leading him to question the future of their marriage while prioritizing his children.
The core issue centers on whether the damage caused by the public shaming warrants an extended separation or break from the relationship, even if divorce is not immediately certain.
Is the OP justified in requiring distance to process this breach of trust, or should he accept the apology immediately for the sake of family s**bility?
