Dear Abby: I can’t stand the way my husband’s sister takes over every family event

DEAR ABBY: I am a gay man. My husband, “Isaac,” and I have been together for 21 years, married for nine.

I’m having challenges with his sister. Over these 21 years, I have observed that any decisions involving their family gatherings and vacations are strictly determined by his sister, with no consideration given to whether the time, location, etc., works for Isaac. Adding insult to injury, when he has expressed hesitation or a desire to do something else, his parents step in and pressure him to do what his sister wants. Their mother once even stated, “It’s just easier to do what your sister wants.”
