Not sure if anyone remembers my story. I am the one with the husband that went to Europe when he said he was in Florida. 🤦‍♀️

Well, fast forward to present day. We are doing well. We have/are worked/working on things and we are in a much better place in our relationship.

I have forgiven his brother, but I don’t trust him. His brother is the one that took the trip with him and influenced him to go. Yes, ultimately it was my husband’s choice. I know that. But, his brother is such bad news bears and has always brought the drama. He apologized to me, and even though it was a stupid apology, I accepted it because I have never heard of him apologizing for anything and I figured it had been hard for him to even attempt it. His apology was, “I am sorry if you took what happened personally, it had nothing to do with you. I just like to spend time with my brother and always will.”

Okay, whatever. My husband also wanted me to make things right with his mom. She is a hot mess too. She lied to me numerous times and helped them convince me they were in Florida. Once again, it isn’t her fault my husband did what he did, but what kind of grown woman lies for their grown son? Straight up lied. Numerous times. I apologized to her for saying I did not wish to have her contact me and my daughter. I apologized for bringing my daughter into it and said I just want us all to have positive relationships. Do you know what this woman said? She said, “Thank you...family is very important to me.” Grrr.

So now we have my daughter’s baptism planned. His brother and mom both said they weren’t coming. I sent invitations to them as a courtesy. They had already said 3 times they couldn’t make it and he 20 reasons why. All of a sudden, today they say they are coming.

I don’t want any issues in my marriage or with these people, but it is too soon. I can’t host them in my home. I am so uneasy about it. I know it is probably petty, but I am not over the role they played in the situation, especially with the lack of apology. 😩😩😩😩
