lovelylady1234 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I am in a real predicament, my sister hurt my feelings really badly. Here's the story. My sister lives across the country from me and we get together only when she comes in town(3 times a year), because I am afraid to fly (which I'm working on). She recently asked me to take a trip with her and my dad to Las Vegas in three weeks. (which is about half way between us) I would have to fly but I am willing to give it a try. Well my husband and I have been having serious marital problems that we are trying hard to work on. When I presented the trip to him, he voiced his concern about wanting to go with me, but is heavily involved in a project at work and can't take off right now. So I decided to tell them I couldn't take the trip and they could either go without me or postpone the trip till my H and I could go. When I called my sis to tell her she got very upset (almost angry) when I said I couldn't go. I told her about wanting to wait to go with my H, she said "whatever". Because she was so upset, I decided to confide in her about the serious problems that I was having in my marriage (which she was completely unaware), to hopefully explain why I wanted to wait for my H. She responded "You can't say anything right now to make me feel better or less upset" I was devastated that I just gave her intimate details of my marriage and she completely seemed not to care. I am really distraught about the whole matter and don't know what to do. I really feel like telling her to forget about the whole trip. My dad called me a bit later and said they would postpone the trip, but I would have to call them by the end of today to let them know if I would definitely go another time. My husband will not know for possibly weeks when and if he can go. I don't know where to go from here. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites
bluechocolate Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I don't know where to go from here. Any suggestions? Yes, this one: I really feel like telling her to forget about the whole trip. especially since you... ...would have to call them by the end of today to let them know if I would definitely go another time... and your... ...husband will not know for possibly weeks when and if he can go. Your marriage is more important than a trip to Vegas with your sister. Hopefully she will eventually come to realise that - I'm sure your father does. Link to post Share on other sites
