Remember when I told you about my younger sister who was having marital problems? Well it seems she has moved back in with her butt head husband. Now why would that be a bad thing you ask? Why would trying to make your marriage work be such a bad thing. Well, let me tell you. Her butt head husband has a girl friend and is refusing to stop seeing her!
Ya, I know, I thought the same thing. My sister is a smart, slim, attractive woman and I just cannot see how she can lower herself like this. Unfortunately for her the church she goes to believes the man is the boss and women must bend and bow to their husbands. Sad really especially since said husband is such a butt head!
Now I like to stay out of other people business but it's so hard not to just come out and say to her "What the hell are you thinking?!"
She is doing what she usually does too which is to avoid her family. She was supposed to come to my dad's birthday party but at the last minute told my mom that she had a wedding to go to. I don't know what kind of wedding she was going to at the last minute like that but most weddings send out invitations months in advance so she would have had to know about it long ago. Unless of course the invitation went to her husband who left it to the last minute before he told her about it. He's the kind of guy who deletes her phone messages and forgets to tell her about them. Nice guy hey?
Every since she has been with this guy her family has taken the back seat to anything and everything. Take her wedding for example. She made my parents pay for the bride's maid dresses because they couldn't pay for them themselves. Then she had her husband's sister as a bridesmaid and didn't include her two sisters. Our family got to pay for everything and was left out of most the the planning and activities. Then when photos of the wedding party and bride and groom were being taken (my parents paid for this too) the grooms family took this to be a good time for them to have their own family pictures taken. This was not part of the package nor in the agreed on price. They just butted right in and put themselves in every picture and started to tell the photographer what to do. Lets just say there were alot of bad feelings on my side of the family over that wedding but we didn't say anything about it. Why bother?
There has been so much more that I won't bore you with like all the babysitting my parents did for their two boys. Oh did I tell you that my sister and husband got married when they were 18 and had their first baby when they were 19. Of course they couldn't look after their own kids on the weekends cause they wanted to go out and have fun. My parents did alot of overnight babysitting. And there are the extravagant gifts they give to everyone including friends but never have the money to buy even a simple gift for our family.
I know I should just let it slide off my back cause it really has nothing to do with me but for some reason I'm getting real steamed thinking about it all. It's nice to be able to come her and get if off my chest. I wish I could get my family to do some type of intervention with her but she's been brainwashed well enough that it would really just be a big old waste of our time.
