Husband 'humiliates' wife in front of his mom (her nemesis), MIL cackles with glee.

When this husband doesn&#39;t know if he took things too far, he asks Reddit:&quot;AITA for humiliating my wife her in front of my mom?&quot; My wife, my mom, and I have a huge point of contention when it comes to visits. We live about a seven hour plane ride away from my mom and there hasn&#39;t been a single visit in five years.  My wife and my mom never had a great relationship.
