So FH and his family really don't speak, beyond his parents and brother. He only has two uncles who are both married, one has two children, the other has none. His dad is an only child. So he really doesn't have a lot of family to start with, and his mom doesn't speak to her two brothers. There was some falling out when the grandmother passed. Fh has spoken to his one uncle over the past few years, and we invited him and his wife. She didn't attend my shower but sent a gift, and a nice card saying can't wait to meet you at the wedding. No rsvp yet from them and the deadline is tomorrow. As for the other uncle FH has tried to call him, and no response. His cousin called to say her and her mom would not be able to attend my shower they would be out of town. Also no gift, no rsvp as of yet. I just feel so bad for him because I know it hurts him. He has asked a few times here and there if they rsvp'd yet. I also feel bad because my family is enormous. I have close friends of my parents who i call my aunt and uncle, and we see them all the time. Everyone loves my FH and has accepted him as their own, but I know it is not the same for him. Anyone else have any issues like this? Now I am going to offer to call them this week, he probably will call instead. It just ***** that his one uncle is such a jerk. He is pissed not and doesn't even want him to come if he does.
sorry long

Re: feel bad...
I sort of have a similar issue, but's all on my side. My mom has a big family and I'm very close with all my cousins. But my dad has only one brother and they don't really speak anymore. My dad's brother's wife is awful, and over money issues about my grandmom she has ruined their relationship. It's bad bc they have 4 kids who are married with at least 3 kids each, and I don't see any of them anymore. I'm not sure who my dad wants to invite yet. I don't want his feelings to be hurt, but I don't want that b***h there!

Re: feel bad...
Thats sad. I would not have a bride/groom side at the ceremony. But he is lucky because he is getting a large family to be a part of with you.
