[quote=Anonymous]OP, every family has different dynamics and comfort levels, and it really doesn't help anyone to label your spouse's family as "rude" for doing something that doesn't bother your spouse.  So, basically, I'm saying that while I get how your DH would be annoyed by this, your cousins are your family and you are comfortable with the way they are so he basically just needs to get over himself.  I agree that maybe it makes sense to go sometimes without him.  It's not fair for him to say he feels excluded if that happens.  He's choosing not to go because he's annoyed...but it's clear that they aren't going to change and you don't want to end the relationship over their behavior.  So he either needs to put up with it or give you the freedom to do so on your own.  My DH finds many things about my family annoying (and vice-versa), but he generally bites his tongue and puts up with it since it's my family, and he knows they are important to me.  This isn't really about your DH's relationship with your cousins, it's about his relationship with you.  He needs to respect that they are important to you and that you're willing to put up with shifting plans in order to see them.
