    I have been married for 25 years, my husbands father recently passed away and he went overseas to see him before he passed away. He stayed there for 11 days and was with all his family and friends. His sister had recently broken up with her husband as he had been having an affair for the past 3 years. My husband obviously wanted to spend time with her and his family and I was excluded from the funeral. I am heartbroken as I thought he would need me by his side. I thought we were best friends and don’t know how to cope.

    There is a reason your husband asked you not to come to his father’s funeral. It could be the expense of overseas travel or maybe there’s an uncomfortable dynamic going on between you and your husband that is affecting him more than he lets on, or perhaps you and his family have always bickered. I’m guessing because you haven’t given me any clues — but clearly there is something else you’re not telling me because you’re right, this isn’t normal. I think that you have to talk to your husband and tell him you’re hurt and you really want to understand why he asked you not to attend your father-in-law’s funeral. Without this conversation, you’re just going to be guessing and hurting, so roll up your sleeves and do the relationship work. 😉 To stop hurting you have to understand the reason for the slight. I hope that helps.
