[quote=Anonymous]OP, what would you do if you were married and had made some compromises with your spouse about how to handle things in your own home and your husband's sister came in and basically told you that you were wrong, your husband's compromises were not good for him and that you were not allowed to have your say in your own home, even though your husband agreed to it.

Let's say you have a family tradition of a particular holiday meal or dish that your family has always had for a special holiday, but your husband is allergic to it.  Your mother is coming and you really want to serve what she always served as long as you can remember.  You husband agrees as long as it is served separately and it stays away from the other food, so he doesn't eat any.  Plus, he can take Zyrtec or Claritin beforehand as a safeguard.  Then his sister comes in and accuses you of trying to kill her brother and that you are amazingly selfish for trying to serve that dish in the house while your brother is there.  How would you react?

I'm sure that you would be profounding apologetic, agree that you really don't care for what happens to your husband and that you'll just skip what you hoped would be a big nod of appreciation to your mother by honoring her tradition that you love.  And you'll realize how wrong you were to even think of honoring your mother because frankly, your husband really had no idea what he was agreeing to and he needs to be mothered by both you and his sister as you both know better than he what he needs.[/quote]
