My sister in law started hating me because she was always saying terrible things about her husband and I disagreed with her on one of her rants. And Im still making compromises to protect my family my husband, and my MIL from their own familys particular brand of nasty. . It makes me sad to think that families are so fractured that asking for help is seen as ridiculous. This is what I was wondering as well! If youre not putting your spousal family first youre not mature enough to marry. I dont feel so bad for the husband. It was horrible and it was a direct response to my personality.

This makes it sound like something is off in a marriage, when one person is this upset and cant even talk to their spouse about it. Those arent ridiculous requests. January 15, 2013, 9:53 am. lets_be_honest Her husband has already decided to go over her objections. When I got home, I realised that I was quite upset. Sure, I give my opinion, and sometimes he decides to go along with what Im thinking, but ultimately, I let him deal with his peeps and I deal with mine. I meant that I would be upset over it- it doesnt seem like the LW is though, shes only upset because her husband wants to go. But I guess that changes from person to person. And I already did that with another mutual friend (he was a real jerk & deleted me from Facebook after I offered to help him with a job search..) and I think he may have told her I was insecure when I sent him a similar message saying he's rude for doing that, and should have just told me to my face if he .

They have made ridiculous requests of him (like contributing to their bills when we have student loans and a house down payment to save up for), including using his vacation time to clean their attic and him to spend weekends taking care of his grandparents, who refuse to accept Medicaid nursing assistance and insist on family care only. Anyways, we battle on together to keep our family united. Last year he decorated his backyard. That goes for ANYTHING in life. female So if the LW hasnt stole/hit/cheated on the SIL then I think the husband needs to get to the bottom of it. i love any excuse for a good party. I think she should call the sister-in-law directly and try to find out whether there is a problem. January 15, 2013, 10:39 am. For a less dramatic example- my mom and my aunt (my dads sister) do not get along at all, but they both came to Christmas dinner at my grandmothers. January 15, 2013, 11:09 am. I think this would have been a great opportunity to have some fun, socialise, have a few drinks and meet new people! But yeah I will talk to him about it. Id like to know who issued the invite. to go without her. I would tell my husband to go and plan fabulous things to do that weekend on my own with my friends, family, or kids. Its polite, it shows you arent feeling vindictive about the whole thing. My advice is a bit different. If it was every now and again, or planned nights out with a mix of friends every other Friday that he likes being alone at or whatever, sure. you guys remember that one wedding letter about that?

My SIL is a wonderful person. temperance Not fine. But if he NEVER invites you out, when the group is big and mixed, he just doesnt want to spend time with you.

That was one of her life's biggest moments and it was her decision who to share it with. Sorry, adults who make a big deal out of their birthday annoy me. I havent asked him to do that because I dont want to put him in that spot. You would invite someone even if they behaved threateningly to you or someone you love (like your SO or your parents or a kid) or if they had a violent criminal conviction or if theyd actually hurt someone else youre inviting?

In fact in my family this would be more than a ridiculous request unless it was for an emergency emergency, it would be an insult we take care of each other, not enable each other to make bad decisions or fail to plan.

I feel bad about myself at this point. wow, I think your bfs only mistake was not having the ""s to tell you to get rid off your friends. AMAZING!

January 15, 2013, 1:39 pm. Because she is evil and controlling? I think it all goes back to what Wendy said have discussion(s) with your husband about the fact that this incident has shaken you to the core and caused you to doubt the foundation of your marriage. You dont want to make this a messier situation. The thing is, I always invite him, especially if were hanging out together and Im making plans for that evening. Nonsense. I agree. no hard feelings (hopefully? is causing him to abandon his wife for the weekend, travel to Chicago to party, spend money on airfare and whatnot, and she has absolutely no say because its his family? Ive had to fight my way into my in laws family, and they now know that we are a unit and they cant change that. Your friends and family are all adults! Now in lots of cases this isnt an issue where people use common sense, decency and can function like adults, and that pendulum can swing back and forth pretty easily, but if people dont behave then the problem shouldnt be left to fester At some point he is going to have to choose to stick up for his wife and insist that HIS family is treated a certain way by the rest of HIS family, or not, but he and his wife have to come to some sort of understanding and it doesnt seem like they are anywhere close. Lots of her friends are posting pictures from this party. Formal party? You dont care who messes with your home life. Things like; putting his friends before you, not being attentive to you, not making an effort, hanging out less and less, and so on. In my family/friends we are pretty informal, so even its not explicit plus ones are always assumed to be invited. But now, with this invitation, my feelings have been confirmed.

Addie Pray Do I have the right to hate him? She has to be his priority in the Should-I-Go-To-A-Party-My-Spouse-Wasnt-Invited-To situation. Not true at all. While the default position is to support your spouse, certainly you dont go along with bad behaviour just because it is your spouse. The fact that the LW did not follow up I wasnt invited to the party with and I dont know why! is definitely glaring. What is so wrong with wanting to have fun though, because that to me is all a birthday party is. I dont think youre reaching. Theres been many an occasion when Ive been excluded from family events in the past (for birthdays to weddings), and while its always insulting, at this point, 10 years into the relationship and 5 years into our marriage, Im happy to let him go visit on his own. From what LW says in the comments, it sounds like she accidentally and unknowingly offended SIL or SIL is just a passive-aggressive beyotch. Presuming thats the case, Im not really sure what Id do. We are not exclusive since we have never brought up the talk. He should stand besides his wife. The LW cant go into these dramatics about cracks in her marriage and expect people to be on her side without justifying why the exclusion is unfair (and I think it has to be a REALLY bad reason, like race or religion or the in-laws being abusive, for her to be this upset). it sucks that families dont get along, but it happens.. it sucks when new family members dont get along, but it happens. January 15, 2013, 11:56 am. Well thats where we differ. I find this to be inexcusably rude and would not want my husband to attend if I was in your shoes, LW. I would also try to find out why I wasnt invited. Ok, ok, we can be friends again. act like an adult! My husbands opinion is that a mailed invitation would have been really bad, but that the text method was only kind of bad. seriously, why would you even want to go if they are just a bunch of terrible people who hate you for no reason and would go to such lengths to let you know how they feel? so in this instance, the SIL is acting like an idiot- and you cant control that.

When I turned 40 I had some drinks with a few friends, I certainly wouldnt have been offended or upset at anyone who didnt want to come for any reason, because my birthday is not a big deal. Can I just say LW, that I feel so sorry for you that you see this as putting your husband in a bad spot whereas I would have hoped beyond hope that my husband wouldnt need my prodding to try and include me in family events. I really think you should be talking to your boyfriend about this, we can't give you any reasonable advise based on the 2 sentence conversation you guys had. Steeze Basically: "A person I thought was a dear friend is having a get-together and not only am I not invited but he/she is being all coy/silent about it." Believe me, I feel your pain and have no.

Confusion = Hes just not that into you. He doesnt need to stay home with you for him to know you guys are a unit. nope.

He wants you there Im sure, he just doesnt want you to do anything embarrassing. So many little issues come up in marriage. The difference is, I expect him to stand up for me with his family. in general, you shouldn't expect other people to behave the way you would behave.

But people have their own ways of doing things, and that's perfectly fine. . Red_Lady If you dont, I can assure you that this wont be the last time you feel as if the foundation of your marriage is being tested.

If he really thinks the reason she wasnt invited is valid, he needs to talk to her about her behavior. January 15, 2013, 9:59 pm, And if you were expressly NOT invited and you have no idea why she is snubbing you, if that happened to me Id be SO SO SO worried that I did something to offend her. January 17, 2013, 4:26 pm. Whether it's a casual dinner followed by a movie, or going out to a bar and meeting new people, you won't regret getting out of the house and having a good time. Couples are a unit. We went out last weekend for my birthday with a few friends and I was happy and having a good time. The LW came across as snobbish, entitled and demanding. 152. make a big deal out of mardi gras, your birthday, your vow renewal, saturday- its cool with me. Not fine. Hey LW, just wanted to say that a) Im excited that you updated because we were all curious! Since youve remained mum for so long, your guy may not know the importance of this issue for you.

They just made a whole movie about turning 40, Addie Pray Some people were kind of cold, but everyone was polite and made an effort to re-include herMy point is, I never understood alienating or refusing to invite the significant other of a relative when it comes to family events unless said person is physically or emotionally abusive or prone to huge, drunken, racist tirades. On the one hand, I totally see Wendys point. the husbands family hated his mom for whatever reason, and so she just stopped going to FL when they went to visit. I know that if I invited my brother to something, it would be assumed that his wife would be invited. My SIL called him the other day to say they were making the brother a surprise bday and want him to be there at a certain time no invite to me- it was purposely made that way so I can hear that I wasnt invited. Addie Pray But like I said in another comment, the only valid reasons I see for this big of a snub are stealing, physical violence, or cheatng with the SILs spouse. Hes using their money to travel out there, depriving her of whatever his chores are while hes at home, etc. There are so many reason I can think of to why he wouldnt invite you to this party. If he's tired or hungover, this conversation will not end well. You like him, you like, really like him. January 15, 2013, 3:29 pm. Why doesnt he ask his sister why his wife wasnt invited?

I just want to say that in general, you shouldn't expect other people to behave the way you would behave. I didnt get carded! Which is cute and polite, no? Just wait, LW will send in a clarification that she is a black Ethiopian Jew who campaigned for Obama and her husbands family is staunch Irish Catholic and anti-immigrant Republican birthers. is their anything more agonizingly embarrassing then being sung Happy Birthday to in a restaurant? My (30m) boyfriend has never invited me (24f) to hang out with his friends even though their girlfriends always come along. Make a quick call to your SIL and tell her you heard the dinner was really nice and you just wanted to call and wish her a happy birthday. lets_be_honest But because the husband chose the LW, and chose to stay married to her.
