Not just that, but someone who would presumably get along with your family...something I noticed a lot of modern marriages don't have. It should be common sense.

If she truly tries to separate you from your family for seemingly no reason she is a narcissistic personality.

I don’t have a sister but I have a brother and I love him to death but if one cross word about my wife ever decides to cross his lips to me and it will be a physical confrontation.


Motherfricker I was born with him and I chose her why the frick wouldn’t I choose her again.


Grow some fricking nuts and stand up for your wife or give her up so someone with nuts will.

This right there! Took me until my late 30’s to find the right one. Lord knows I went many i went through to find the right one. Patience and persistence paid off. My family adores her.

The man has to be assertive and make peace in this situation. If you're passive, women will often be bitches to one another. They need to fear and/or respect him enough to get along or pretend to. I'm not saying threaten to beat arse, but forcefully tell them how things are going to be or you are going to raise all kinds of hell.

You will never fix your communication problems, judging from your thread title.

What you meant to write is:

I am between a rock (wife) and a hard place (my family).

Did you cough, sneeze, or feel like you have a headache within 24 hours of the event.
Just say you got the crud and do not want to go to avoid spreading it.

Or
Do you believe you will go to the bathroom within 24 hours of the vent.
You may have explosive diarrhea.

Hey, your not a doctor and how would you know. wink wink!

Always works getting out of family events.

This is being a coward. Deal with the issue at hand.

You and your wife are one. Standing up for her is standing up for you.

This sounds like your sister has the issue.

How hard is it to ask the sister to either explain why she doesn't trust the wife or demand an apology. It's an either or situation. And if sis won't give a valid reason for not trusting the wife, you don't go.

It’s not hard to ignore texts or phone calls, after awhile they get the point.

Sounds like OP gets a little pushed around by the women in his life. I have an older sister that isn't shy and saying something like that to either of her brothers wouldn't even cross her mind. Unless one of our wives was very clearly untrustworthy.

Most of this board normalizes this "happy wife, happy life" bullshite. Just STFU and do what makes her happy, etc. No, the men have needs too, we're just confused and typically inarticulate about understanding what is upsetting us.

This really some beta shite. You got to take care of the problem. Why does your sister not trust your wife? If its some stupid shite tell sister she just has to get over it. Tell them they have to talk the shite out because its putting a wedge between the two parties and you are not going to deal with that shite.

But what I don't understand is... You sister wants yall to go, but your wife doesn't want to go because she wasn't welcomed? You sister wants yall to go.

Tell your wife that since yall live closer you are not going to keep being in the middle of their bullshite. Your wife needs to put aside her pride and iron it out.
