[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op.  Yes, I have a great relationship with my sister.  She can be insensitive but mostly also vents about our parents.

I spoke with DH about getting some more space (not cutting off but not inviting to vacations and family events anymore and putting myself out there).  He's very against it and makes good points -- family is family, they are our kids' grandparents, and he's brushing them off so I shouldn't be hypertensive.  He also pointed out that it's been like this for years, which is true. I wish he was more supportive of my feelings but I also think my feelings cannot trump his feelings.  If he's fine with it, then I'm being silly.  I just wish it didn't hurt. I feel ridiculous.[/quote]

It is none of your husband's business how you want to manage your family honestly. I think its kind of troubling how you talk about him, he shouldn't be calling you hypertensive. And your feelings are EQUAL to his feelings, and when it pertains to your family they DO trump his feelings. My family frequently do things that slight my husband and he could not care less. But I care that they do those things and I stand my ground against them for it. Being a jerk is wrong regardless of whether or not the victim is crying themselves to sleep about it. [/quote]
