Rock (wife) between (me) Hard place (my family)

I don’t know why my wife (no photos) insists on putting me in that position of choosing her over my family
Yes, i know I’ve come to the correct place for this
My wife and family have had underlying issues but we lived 500 miles away so it was easier to ignore the issues for a weekend or so and we just love our lives.
But we have moved back to town and drama has ensued/ i mean no real drama -basically it’s just that i hate confrontation which manifests in poor communication. And feelings get hurt etc
Fast forward to an upcoming event, my sister (also no photos) really wants us to attend and i KNOW it’s going to cause a rift if i don’t come but my wife just threw down that she wasn’t going to go because she wasn’t welcome (basically my sister said she didn’t trust my wife…now, my wife hadn’t done anything to warrant that comment but my sister said it )
So now… i have to tell my sister that we aren’t coming but make it sound as if it’s my idea as so i minimize the collateral damage (meaning…how my sister will react if she finds out that this is my wife’s decision)
So i ask…..why does my wife put me in this situation
I’ll hang up and listen…,

With all due respect, you sound like a pussy.

Just go to event without your wife. She said she wouldn’t go not that you couldn’t.

Tell your sister the truth to keep your wife's name out of her mouth and if she has some issues to address with your family (you and your wife) you are willing to speak with her about it.
God you sound like a pussy

Why don’t you ask your sister why she doesn’t trust your wife.
We’ll all hang up and listen while you do that and become a man.

My wife does similar. You just learn to deal with it, and try hard to keep everyone happy. It's a balancing act.

You should marry someone with similar principles, intelligence, morals and beliefs as you.

Tell your wife and family you need a break from them all. Go do what you want for a couple weeks and reset. They’ll all appreciate you more and try to get along hopefully.

Move to a different trailer park.

You better learn that confrontation leads to peace if you do it right. Running from it never ever does…….

I had a girlfriend’s dad tell me once “when you get married you marry the whole family “.
I didn’t make it to the alter with that bunch of nuts - thank god

If your wife has done nothing to cause the dislike from your sister, then you tell your sister that you’re not coming due to how your wife has been treated.
If my family treated my wife bad for no reason, I wouldn’t call my wife the “rock” in this situation. She’s your other half. Have her back.

Fake your own disappearance. Wife and family will be forced to come together to find you.

This is bait, right?
Put on your big boy pants and stop compounding problems by avoiding conflict.

So, you have a shite family that inserts themselves into your romantic relationship/marriage for no reason, you are too spineless to stick up for the family you chose (your wife), and now you're blaming your wife for "putting you in this situation".
Wow. What a winner.

They know it's not your idea, bro.
Also, if the issues were already existing, why in hell did you move back? This is completely self-inflicted and I have no sympathy.
