For not defending my wife when she got yelled by her sister?

Hello Mumsnet users, I am not a mum rather a husband looking for some opinions and perspectives from other women.

DW and one of SIL (both very temperamental women) are fighting over really petty stuff that escalated (both are wrong imho) things got heated and they were involved in a shouting match. The aftermath was DW accusing me of not defending her when she got yelled (eventhough she was just as loud) and left her to her own devices?

I will defend DW from anyone being disrespectful towards her but not when it's a disagreement with HER family (all whom I get along fine) like do I have to be involved in their drama that has nothing to do with me/I have no particular opinion about?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Why do some women expect their husbands to always 'support ' them, ie pretend to always agree, how wet these women are.

No, your wife is being a twat.

Ask her what happens when she makes up with her sister but sister gives you a cold shoulder because you got involved in the argument?

YANBU. I have sisters and sometimes we fight. I believe my DH should defend me against all others, even our kids, but not my sisters. After she has some perspective, I bet she will think the same.
