redsgrl -> bro-in-law is not speaking to my hubby, causing issues (8/6/2008 3:11:13 PM)
|
My husband's younger brother (30) hasn't been speaking to my husband (33) for over a year now. My bro-in-law is getting married next month and basically doesn't want my husband to participate in his wedding (though his fiance is forcing it). As you can imagine, this has caused major stress in the family (not about just this issue, but other things over the last year have blown way up). My husband would prefer not to even go to the wedding if his brother doesn't want him there. That would only make things worse with his parents and cause what should be a happy day, a very bummer of a day for his parents.
I've proposed that my hubby talk to his soon-to-be sister in law and see if there's some way we can gracefully bow out of participating in the wedding (we're not part of the wedding party, but she has involved us and our 2 young children in the ceremony). Then, I suggested that we attend only the ceremony and then duck out before the reception begins. That way, we can at least be there for his brother's important day and not cause him to much grief. Even though his brother is behaving like a child, I still believe that he should have a nice wedding, because it is HIS wedding also.
Should we just leave things as is, or try to come to a compromise some how?
