My sister in-law is getting married. She and my husband were raised on two different levels. She was very favored being the only girl. Last year she made a comment to me in an e-mail saying he was an *** for sitting around not helping anyone at our daughter's birthday party. My husband read the e-mail and that has furthered the distance he feels for her. He thinks he should either end the relationship with his mom and sister and not go to the wedding or pretend nothing is wrong and go. I don't want to go but I don't think that matters since it is his family. What do you think?

I think by all means, you should attend the wedding. Ask your husband to shelve his bitterness for now, and he and his sister can settle their differences at another date. If you skip the wedding, it will only deepen the rift, and if you make a scene at the wedding, it will also make things worse. Skipping the wedding may create issues between your family and other relatives who might fault you for being unsupportive of the sister at a special time. Unfortunately, many people write scathing emails in the heat of the moment, only to regret what they have said after "send" is hit. If the wounds run deeper than this one incident, then brother and sister might want to work out a compromise for family's sake. Choosing sides is no fun.

I think that all this needs to be brought out in the open. Nothing can be resolved if its being kept in. If both of you are just gonna be miserable and it don't even matter to her if you two are there I wouldn't waste my time. Either way if you go or not you can't just act like nothing's wrong. That's why she is the way she is b/c no one has obviously put their foot down with her. I hope you guys can get this all worked out!!!

Wedding happen only one time in many couples;and is something very important and special in family matters. Is good idea to forget the differences and go to the wedding.I warranty,you will enjoy the wedding, together with your family.My answer:Go and enjoy,and live the moment.
