My wife and I were arguing , almost getting a divorce, for 1 year, and she did not come to three of my cousins bridal showers and their respective weddings. We are now on good terms (including my parents and my wife) and getting along. Her sister's shower and her wedding are coming up and my parents do not want to come to these events since my wife did not attend any of the aforementioned events. Is this right? Should my parents act this way?

Your parents should be more mature than that. They should be happy that you and your wife are happier now and support that.

Their reason for not wanting to go is rather dumb, but why would your parents be going to your wifes sisters shower and wedding? They are almost far enough away to be considered a distance relative! I would never invite my sister's husband's parents to any of my events! AND they wouldn't expect an invite!

Be sure an invitation to the shower and wedding are sent to your parents. Whether or not they attend is up to them, but at least they got an invite, taking some of the pressure off of you and your immediate family.

They are not supporting your renewed happiness. The bitterness is supposed to be over. They should not stay away for that reason. It's only unfortunate that those weddings happened during your unhappy times; your wife certainly would've gone to those otherwise.

were your parents even invited to your wife sisters weding and shower? unless they are friend of the family type of thing, then your parents are not obligated to go to it.

It would be good if they did. However you cannot make them come if they don't want to. Don't let this become anpther source of conflict between you and your wife.

If they have been invited, then they should go in support of your new relationship -- AND as a good example!
