Notice that not once has OP returned to comment on her own behavior during the dinner.

Jeff has checked that this person is not a known troll, but it certainly looks like trolling.

OP here. I haven’t commented on “my own behavior” because literally every response is that my husband should be jailed forever for his crimes. Which is fair to say, whatever, not knowing him I can see that opinion seeming reasonable.

I am not angry at this cousin for not wanting a relationship with DH. I had to come to peace with DH’s actions, and I don’t expect anyone to find that peace.

I’m angry that my in-laws would invite this cousin, knowing very well it would be incredibly awkward, without specifically letting us know. They have every right to invite whoever they want. [b]Had we been told he would be there we would have politely declined the invitation and made other plans.[/b] So I, politely, pulled them aside (in private) and expressed this. [/quote]

From your OP:
DH thinks I went too far, and believes it was a good chance to build a relationship with this cousin

So no, it doesn't sound like your husband would have declined to attend, actually. You need to butt out. [/quote]
