Married two years. We've done everything together but have had some problems..but what marriage doesn't? We do love each other though.

Recently my wife's parents asked her to go away with just them for a week on vacation. They've also respected me enough to ask me if I'm ok with it. However, it has really hurt my feelings not to be included or at least asked to go.

Am I over-reacting?

do you know why you are excluded?

ps - it is okay to feel any way you want to feel.

I agree with your feelings, of being left out. You are not wrong at all for feeling the way you do; they should have included you in this vacation considering you and your wife are theoretically ONE. Where she goes, you go also.

If anything, before your wife leaves, you need to speak with her in advance and let her know how you feel concerning being left out of this vacation trip, and that you would like to included so that you can enjoy the getaway with her as well. Her parents are being disrespectful, by not even asking if you wanted to go with them. They should know that not including you would have hurt your feelings.

Have you dicussed this issue with your wife?

Welcome to the board jackpotter,


I think you have every right to be upset about this. Do you know why they don't want you to go? How is your relationship with them?
