AITA for telling my friend that she is only welcome at my house if she doesn't bring her husband
In a world where unseen battles rage within, a woman’s fierce bond with her service dog, Onyx, stands as a lifeline against the relentless storm of epilepsy.
Onyx is more than a pet; he is a guardian, a silent protector whose vigilance has turned the tide between life and death countless times, embod**ng a love and loyalty that transcends ordinary companionship.
Yet, this sacred trust is challenged by ignorance and disrespect, as her friend’s husband dismisses the invisible struggles she endures and undermines the very essence of Onyx’s purpose.
His refusal to understand the gravity of her condition threatens not just the peace of their friendship, but the fragile safety that Onyx tirelessly maintains every day.

The original poster (OP) is facing a significant conflict rooted in defending the necessary boundaries surrounding their service animal, Onyx, against a friend and her husband who dismiss the OP's medical needs.
The OP acted to protect their safety by banning the husband after he aggressively disregarded the dog's working role and questioned the OP's disability, while the friend remained pa*sive during the initial confrontation.
Is the OP justified in permanently excluding the friend's husband based on his disrespectful behavior and dangerous misunderstanding of a service dog's function, or did the OP overreact to a situation where the husband, despite his flawed reasoning, was simply trying to interact with a dog?
