Name: new member



good afternoon to all. I am a happily married women, I have a problem with family politics. My husbands father and his uncle are in a fight, they do not talk to each other, it's been over 8 years now, but the cousins get a long very well. My husbands cousin is getting married and she asked me to be part of her wedding, we get along really well and I've been helping her with her wedding plans, the problem is that my in-laws were not invited to the wedding but we got the invite, so we are stuck do we go or don't we go? I mean my in-laws have never stopped us from going, but it's just that it's going to feel really weired or should we got with an open mind that oneday they will mend things and will be a happy family.. Also why is it that us Indian peopl can't communicate with one another about our problems, I mean if you have a issue with someone, why can't we talk to that person. Any advise would be appreciated or any adivse how to get the two family together....Thanks

I think its wise to not go, but you can send a small token gift from the whole family. Like flowers or something.

I must say you ere lucky that they have not stepped up to you and told you not to have anything to do with the cousins.
So now it is your choice, if you feel close and if you feel that it would not ruin it between you and in laws then go for it and have fun.

Hi,
It is up to you whether you want to go or not, as you are close to yr cousin u feel like going for the wedding as the children have not done anything. so your cousin too can think the way you are thinking and can call her uncle for her wedding, it is not her father's wedding it is her wedding so it is her duty to respect her uncle and invite him, why is she not taking this step. if i was in your place i would not go for the wedding as i too should support my inlaws as they too are my parents.
it is just a comment it is upto you to go or not to go.
Just ask God to give you the right direction.

Yes Divya,

I think this is very good advice and I feel that you sometimes have to show your family loyalty.
