[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here with an update. Another family member put their foot down on traveling this weekend due to health issues. Some of the kids can’t miss school for a week, so all agreed on spring break timeframe. We’re all going, but it will be in March during spring break. No open casket, just a celebration of life service. [/quote]

Sounds like you lucked out. If I were you OP I would make sure to tell your husband that you're relieved it worked out, but if it came down to it you would have gone.

I am not someone who is very demanding or dramatic in relationships, but I would have trouble putting behind me my spouse not wanting to support me when my parent died. [/quote]

Agreed. There is something about OP’s tone that feels very callous: “put their foot down” -as if having a funeral right after someone’s death was somehow unusual or completely off the wall request. OP, I really hope you are just not good at written expression because if you are conveying these feelings to your spouse, you are as self-centered in person as your are in print. Good luck on your marriage. You clearly need it.[/quote]

Did you miss the part where the family had been gathered in Wyoming over the holidays? I'm not sure what is callous about relating that another relative refused to travel at this time. Sounds like someone made a needed decision based on common sense.[/quote]
