SOCIAL Q’S
A reader’s suspicion that his sister doesn’t like his fiancée seems to have been confirmed by her absence from wedding photos. But how should he raise the issue?
By Philip Galanes
My fiancée and I have been together for three years, and we started living together nine months ago. For reasons that I don’t understand, my sister has never warmed to my fiancée, despite my fiancée’s best efforts to be friendly and kind to her. Now the issue has come to a head: My sister got married recently, and I just saw her wedding album. To my shock, there is not a single photograph of my fiancée and me together — or of my fiancée, at all! I feel hurt and angry on her behalf — and on my own, too. My instinct is to confront my sister and to ask her directly why my fiancée was excluded from the album. But I try to avoid family conflict. Is it worth stirring things up over this?
