To expect my wife to go to my daughter's baby shower?
Wife and I been together for 31 years, both had a child from previous relationships who happen to be the same age.
We decided to leave the UK and move to Italy, along with my stepson, his wife and their baby.
My daughter has been through the wringer trying to get pregnant for years and there was a fear that she may never have a child.
Her step brother - wife's DS - and his wife fell pregnant and had a beautiful baby and all her friends have had babies.
This really knocked the stuffing out of her and affected her mental health.
Thankfully DD fell pregnant and is expecting a girl in a few months. I was absolutely over the moon and was everyone else.
A baby shower has been arranged for her but my wife isn't going nor is my stepsons wife - despite me and my wife flying back a few weeks before.
Daughter is extremely upset and doesn't want to see them at all, said that I let her down by not standing up to my wife for not going.
I was really disappointed with my wife, after all she has been a step mum to my daughter.
Haven't confronted my wife over this, I feel outnumbered by her, her son and his wife.
BTW - I am struggling to have any kind of relationship with my wife, Stepson and his family - I'm like "do whatever you want, I'm not interested" . There is a lot more to the backstory of all the relationships.
