DEAR ABBY: Several members of my husband’s family let us down badly by not attending our daughter’s wedding. They had various work and other family obligations near the date of our event. “Save the Date” cards had been sent out six months prior, but we were apparently lower on their priority list.

Dear Abby advised someone who is struggling with the lack of support from her husband's family after they failed to show up to her daughter's wedding.

A reader discussed the cards with her husband and got an apology, but she’s still shocked and saddened.

Dear Abby, after several of my husband's relatives didn't attend our daughter's wedding, I decided to snub them with no cards this holiday, but my husband went behind my back and sent them cards anyway.

Wife had told him she didn't want to extend greetings to people who skipped their daughter's wedding, but he did it anyway.

Save the date” cards had been sent out six months prior, but we were apparently lower on their priority list. I expressed to my husband my desire to not send holiday cards this year because I no longer feel good about these family members.
