lumnousgem Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Hello! My husband and his older sister are fighting (not the first time they've managed to get into a bad spat), but my husband has made the decision to cut ties with her. His family is really close, so I find that this decision might be more troublesome than just dealing with her personality and moving on. Seeing as we're recently married and my relationships with his siblings/parents are in good standing, this will definitely cause a family riff in which I feel this might do more damage to the family as a whole vs good, but I also want to be supportive of my husband as I have seen her adult trantrums first hand and it's not pretty. Has anyone else had to deal with their husbands (or wives) fighting with a sibling when you're fairly neutral to the situation? How did you handle it and is it worth supporting the decision to cut ties with an in-law? I just see this situation getting awkward as we start heading into the holidays. I'd hate to miss out on being close with my husband's family because he doesn't want to see his sister. Thanks for any advice you can lend if you've been in this situation!
DaisyLeigh Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Mind your own business. I mean that nicely. Stay out of their squabbles.
anne1707 Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Been there, done that. All you can do is remain neutral. If your H does not want to see his sister then that is the way it is. However it does not mean you cannot speak to his family - or her - if you see them. You have to keep out of it and let him decide on if/when he wants to see her again.
