My husband and I have been married for 2 years. When we got married, my family was against the marriage and did not come to the wedding. For a year my father did not speak to me. One day he called me and invited both of us for dinner. He wanted to put the past behind us and move on. I was encouraged by both my in-laws and my husband to make a effort to get a long and that is what we did. Last week, my sister got married. I went to her wedding without my husband. Even though she did not come to mine, I felt like I should be the better person and go. My husband did not have a problem with me going but told just to go the wedding and come home. I got bored Saturday morning and I went to the church early and helped out and I took family pictures. Well when I got home and my in-laws found out that I took family pictures they were furious with me and informed me that since my husband was not in the pictures it was not considered a family picture. To me it was a group picture and if Andy was there he would have been in it. My husband is angry for not "obeying" him and my in-laws are not speaking to me and act like I do not exist. I guess some of you reading this or thinking how imature all of this is. It probably is; however, this situation has left me a basket case. I can not sleep or eat. I just do not know what to do. Honestly I do not see what I did wrong. [I believe this is between me and my husband although my mother-in-law informed me that he was her son.] I did not intentionally disobey my husband I just wanted to do the right thing. I do love my husband with all my heart but I just can not live like this.
