My husband does not want me to go to my sister's wedding

Gustavo, on May 11, 2019 at 2:00 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 15
We have a small restaurant and im the cook. He feel that because we are in a situation where we cant get a day off or that he doesnt want to pay someone else to do my job just for one daythat i shouldnt go and if i do go alone because hes not planning on going im going against him and that im not supporting him emotionally. I dont know which side to pick i get it we have a buisness that is just starting and it takes alot of patience and sacrifices but its my only sisters wedding that possibly she will never get married again not to mention she is 8 months pregnant and in top of that next week is my mothers wedding

    This is a tough one but I think it is important to remember that family should come first. I hope your husband and business can cope for 1 day and realize somethings are more important than money.

    Does he realize that by you not going you could lose a family member? I don’t know any woman who would forgive her sibling for not attending her wedding because of work. Your mother may be very upset as well. This will not be good for you or your husband.

    I would be very upset with my husband and would ask him to brainstorm ideas so I could attend (someone can cover for you, close the restaurant so both of you can attend, etc). Life also happens. What’s the plan for when one if you is sick, what if a parent is ill, one of you gets into an accident?

    I hope you can help him understand how important this is to you.

    I think your husband emotionally can handle you being away for a day. Can you yourself pay for someone to do your job? Would it be to hard of a hit to your business if you closed for a day? I think if there is any way possibly financially you are able to make it you should.

    This is a tough situation. Personally, I would never miss a sibling's wedding. Is it not possible to close the restaurant for a day? I understand that your husband is concerned about the business, but this is family we are talking about.

    In my opinion i would close the restursnt dowb for the day and go together to support each other and your sister. Family first ALWAYS. You have your entire life to work , but this a once in a lifetime thing you will be missing out on.

    I think you have bigger issues than just whether or not you go to your sister's wedding.

    The choice to begin a new business - a restaurant business, at that - is a HUGE undertaking and for both the business and the marriage to be successful you need to be on the same page.

    Whatever you decide about the wedding, you should both consider a sit-down to discuss just what priority this business will take in your lives, and whether the sacrifices necessary to preserve it and your marriage are worth it.

    I agree with everyone. Family is everything. I say just sit down and talk with your husband and let him know how you feeling.

    I think I’d tell him “I love you and support you and this business, but I need to be there for my sister.” And as hard as it would be I’d go- alone.
    Given it is moms, second I am assuming here, wedding I would tell her I’d love to go- but don’t think I can given sisters wedding.

    I would go to the wedding. It’s not like she will be having a wedding every week. It’s one day of her life. I would be upset if one of my sisters couldn’t make it due to work.

    I agree go to your sister wedding. While your husband says you need to support him he also need to do the same and understand this is your SISTER not a random person or friend. Sounds like to me he is being selfish and not considering everything only what he wants. Good luck!! I hope it all works out for you.

    I would never miss my siblings wedding, regardless of what that caused at work. Can you work extra hours leading up to it to make up for it?
