Hi,

Here, i'm sure your husband is aware of your predicaments. As its hard to overlook the mental anguish of ones wife esp. when you are publicly avoiding all family functions etc. But let me tell you something which i myself feel, that sitting and brooding only takes you so far, it effects behaviour and performance, not to mention the other stress related things like constant worry and paranoia.

My suggesstion would be to tackle it head on: I'm sure by now you must have identified the people(sisters) who are behind your heartache, just go and set up a 'conversation over coffee' and talk it through.

Men understand the broader aspects, and cant be bothered with nuances of hurt and emotional hard hitting, more so as it his own blood,so talk to teh people, but be politically correct so as not to be quoted, play it in our head over and over and then approach.

Im sure you will reach some amicable solution.
