Plus: I can’t believe they announced my brother’s death this way.
After years of this happening — despite my best attempts to make small talk, compliment her cooking, ask her about her interests, etc. — I find myself very uncomfortable in her home.
My husband feels that because she doesn’t actually say anything rude, this shouldn’t be an issue. Am I overreacting here?: Your discomfort is justified and understandable, and your husband’s comment is, well, understandable: It absolves him, the obvious go-between for you and his sister, of any further responsibility.
What to do about it? Having put up with it for years — and limiting your exposure to three or four times a year — may make it endurable, or at least better than the alternative. If not, it is time for your husband to step up and speak with his sister; if he does not, then perhaps the three to four visits should be reduced to one or two.: My brother passed away and I found out about it from a nephew who posted it on social media.
