[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it were me, I'd be okay with dh going to his cousin's wedding, but we're pretty used to doing the "divide and conquer".  DH is military, so I'm often stuck doing things on my own.  In your case I think either option makes sense. [/quote]

I'd be ok with DH going to his cousins' wedding. I'm pretty sure both my siblings could give  zero fucks if my husband was in their wedding pictures given the circumstances, if he decided not to come because he would miss attending a game or something that would be a  very different story.

That said there is nothing wrong with asking him to come with you..

But I would not get into the dynamic of this family member trumps this family member because 1. You'll very  quickly end up alienating one side of the family most likely DH's and  he'll come to resent you for that, and that not talking to that much doesn't mean not important.

2.) You shouldn't ask him to do anything you wouldn't do yourself that means down the road  meaning from here on out all your childhood friends and their events are secondary. [/quote]

You don't sound like you have a very close relationship with your siblings.[/quote]

We're actually very close. We don't need to force a spouse to alienate his/her family to prove our closeness.
