[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you have to suck it up and go. This is your spouse's parent.

I have only had regret over not attending a funeral or other family milestone event.[/quote]

I've lost two family members I loved very much during COVID. It sucked royally watching their funerals on FB Live instead of flying across the country.

I still don't regret not going one bit, and my close extended family agree and understand.[/quote]

PP, I'm sorry for your losses. I also lost two family members in 2020 and 2021. One was my only sibling. I did not go to either funeral and family was fine -- in fact they said they did not want anyone traveling at those points in time. Very small services, local attendees only. No resentments.

I truly wonder if the people here so very shrilly yelling that there is zero reason ever to miss a funeral, OP must go or her marriage will die, her DH gets to call 100 percent of the shots, etc., actually have been bereaved during this pandemic and had to make the same choice that OP is facing. They certainly seem invested in dictating to her what she must do or her marriage and apparently all social norms will collapse. [/quote]
