[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wife whom I’ve been with for 10+ years comes from a large immediate family (6 siblings).  I come from a small family (1 brother).  I’ve gotten better about sucking it up and going along with things (attending 3rd birthday parties, splitting holidays between two of my sister-in-laws, not spendings holidays with my parents, etc.), but I kind of got annoyed went wife expected me to give up a Saturday to drive 3hrs (two ways) to attend a nephews college graduation.  Mind you, wife has 24 nieces/nephews.  Is this really a precedent we’re going to set?  What about a graduation a little closer to home?  I didn’t tell her this, but deep down it bugs me that only 3 people come to my graduation: wife (gf at the time), Mom and dad.  Bro didn’t come, no aunts, uncles, etc...
We both work hard during the week.  The thought of spending 6 hours in the car on a Saturday to watch it his kid graduate just kills me.  Am I really a bad hubby for feeling this way?  Can I weasel out of this without coming off as a jerk?[/quote]

Can't she do the driving? I do feel for you OP. [/quote]
