Her Sister’s Husband Died 6 Years Ago, So Her Sister Is Worried That Attending Her Wedding Will Trigger The Trauma, But She Thinks Her Sister Is Just Being Selfish For Wanting To Skip The Event
This 25-year-old woman is about to celebrate a massive milestone– she is getting married to her fiancé, who is 28-years-old.
And amidst all of the wedding planning, she and her fiancé finally nailed down the entire guest list. But, one person unexpectedly rejected their wedding invitation.
Apparently, her 25-year-old sister– who is her Irish twin– has refused to attend the event. Her sister claimed that being at the wedding would just be too much and would trigger her trauma.
Now, for context, her sister actually tied the knot about six years ago. But, just 10 days after her sister said, “I do,” her sister’s husband tragically passed away.
So, her sister now believes that attending her wedding will only trigger all of those memories– making the event simply too much to bear emotionally.
Perhaps shockingly, though, she is not very empathetic regarding her sister’s perspective.
“[My sister] knew her husband would die soon after their wedding because he had late-stage cancer– and that was the only reason they even got married,” she explained.
On top of that, she claims that since her brother-in-law’s death was six years ago, her sister “should not be so traumatized” to the point where avoiding “any and all weddings” is necessary. She even feels like that should be especially true about her wedding, too.
She also came clean and admitted how she honestly feels as though her sister’s “trauma thing” is just an excuse not to attend her wedding.

Instead, she thinks her sister just does not want to be there because they have reportedly always had a pretty rocky relationship.
“But c’mon now, it’s my wedding. She should put that aside and support me during my biggest day,” she vented.
Her sister and some of her sister’s friends are not exactly agreeing with her perspective, though. In fact, one of her sister’s friends apparently called her and complained about how her whole family was “harassing” her sister. The friend then claimed that all of the pressure was sending her sister into a depression and making the 25-year-old skip out on work.
Now, she admitted to being the person who encouraged her family to try and convince her sister to attend the wedding. However, she is adamant that no one was actually harassing her sister. Instead, she really just thinks her sister is being overdramatic.
“I feel like she is once again playing the ‘depression card’ so she can get away with her unfair treatment of me,” she revealed.
Her fiancé, though, completely disagrees with that perspective and has actually taken her sister’s side.
In fact, he claimed that she should leave her sister alone and said that it was not worth bullying anyone into attending their wedding. So now, with her fiancé vouching for her sister, she has been left wondering whether accusing her sister of being selfish for wanting to skip her wedding due to trauma makes her a total jerk or not.
Even if her sister’s husband died six years ago, doesn’t her sister still have a right to grieve the loss? Why do you think she is so confident that her sister is “playing the depression card?” If you were her sister, how would you feel being treated like this? Do you think she is in the wrong for not sympathizing with her sister’s situation?
