Spending Eid separately

Assalmalikum sisters! I have a question to ask. My mother invited my husband and I and our little one for the first day of Eid. And after telling my husband he tells me that he’s not going to make it due to him wanting to spend Eid with his two sisters who will be alone. He then goes on telling me that I should follow him because he’s my husband.. I’m just irritated that he would just disregard my mother’s invitation like that. Idk, am I over thinking it?? Like should I be okay w that?

No he’s not being fair. There’s 24 hours in a day you can see both sisters and your mother.

That’s stupid I’m sorry. I & most people spend half the day with our in laws & half with our own families & the husband should be joining for your side of the family too. His family aren’t the only ones important, your family are just as important. About you should follow him coz he’s your husband kmt Tell him if he doesn’t spend half the day with your family then you’re not spending it with his

No that doesn’t sound right and you shouldn’t be ok with it. Both families are equally as important so you should split the day between them and your husband needs to understand that. He’s being selfish.

I have not spent one single Eid with my husband. He always goes with his family and we get left at home 😭 every year it’s the same.

Please sis, you need to stand your ground & actually tell him that if he doesn’t spend half the day with your family then you’re not spending it with his coz why Shoujd you turn up to your family gathering without him & look embarrassed but he gets to turn up with you acting like everything is normal. You should see your family on Eid, Eid is about celebrating with YOUR loved ones, not just one persons family & if that’s the case then you go celebrate with yours & let him go celebrate with his sisters but please don’t ruin the day for yourself & your parents by not seeing them

@Linda may Allah make it easy for you sis, that’s so sad that your husband doesn’t even celebrate with you or his kids What a way to make good memories for the children 🙄

If the sisters are alone why can’t they join your family? Idk doesn’t have to be this complicated!

@Kadi @VictoriaHis family and my family don’t get along. I myself always felt uncomfortable around them and he knows that due to our history w his family.

@TasnimSo I told him that I’m not following anyone. If he wants to spend Eid w them then go ahead. Our marriage has been on thin ice since the birth of my little one who’s 15 months now. So this only makes matter worst..
