Ok, so I love the sometimes life talks that drift from Disney threads on here.
So here's my scenario. I'm married to the best person in the world, she makes me laugh and (usually) makes me feel like a million bucks.
So I turn the big 3-0 next month, it's a big bday, I'm actually having a hard time with it, but that's another thread lmao (I'm sure I'll be getting ripped for that one).
So my wife has two half brothers. And them and their ugly wives are the scum of the earth. We'll just call them, Jim, his wife Christine, Mark and his wife sheryl.
Jim and Christine have all the money in the world fyi.
They all only live about a 30 minute drive away at the most.
1) I had a seizure 3 years ago out of nowhere, I'm not epileptic, and I never had anything like that before. I dislocated my shoulder and had to have surgery. I was in the hospital for 5 days. None of them came to see me while I was in the hospital and after. Jim and Christine sent a little cookie basket to my house. But to me, that didn't mean jack since they have all the money in the world.
2) My Grandmother died 4 months before our wedding. She was my best friend. I was devastated. They couldn't be bothered to come to the wake or the funeral. Those classless pieces of (not very magical word) used their kids as an excuse. They wanted to do that? fine. But don't tell me that they are so busy that they couldn't take 30 seconds to send a text message.
3) In may of 2015, our dog passed away extremely unexpectedly. We were heartbroken, crushed, and devastated. Before our dog passed away, Christine had asked my wife to dog/house sit for them while they went on a vacation. We had said no because their dogs are the only dogs I've ever met that I hated. My wife even gave Christine the name of another dogsitter she knows. The dogsitter couldn't do all the days. After our dog passed away, Christine asked my wife if we could please just get the couple days that the other dog sitter couldn't cover.
My wife told her no because she didn't want to be around dogs right now. They were going away about a month after we lost our dog. Well, Christine ran up 1 side and down the other on my wife about how my wife needed to grow up, and sometimes you have to step up for family. My wife was hysterical crying.
PS: Jim and Christine wound up having to put their dog down the night before Thanksgiving 6 months later. I am really and truly an animal lover, but isn't karma beautiful? BTW, it's what was best for the dog, cause they should've put that poor thing down 2 years before because of how much it was suffering.
You get the picture.
Jim and Christine as well as their kids, Mark and Shery's kids were all in our wedding.
On Xmas eve, Jim asked my wife was anything happening for my birthday, it's 1/26.
For my bday, I just wanted my wife, her parents, my parents, and my aunt and uncle at dinner. But now because the prince opened his mouth, my wife wants to invite all of them. And honestly, I just can't stand the sight of them.
And I feel that if I don't want someone at my bday, then she shouldn't pressure me to have them there. Especially after all the bad blood. But not only that, I don't think they deserve to be there.
Would you guys give me your opinions please? I'm a big boy, I can take it.
Oh, and btw, we have never been asked to go out for any of their bdays. And 3 out of 4 of them hit 40 while we've been together.

Stand your ground and tell your wife that they aren't coming.
