Where's the Family

Today is my husband's 37th birthday. He has a twin sister so it is also her birthday. Unfortunately, my husband & I are not getting along with his twin sister. It is almost 4 pm and I keep waiting to hear if there will be a family birthday dinner for them. I don't plan on going as I could use a nite to myself and not have to dodge daggers all nite from the family, but I think it would be important to my husband to know that his family wants to celebrate. I had a very impromptu last minute dinner with some of our friends this past Saturday for his birthday and had invited his parents. I did this to try to be inclusive of them, not exclusive of his family as I figured there would be a family celebration for the 2 of them.

These are instances that I feel bad for my husband. If we weren't together, this would not happen. I know he says that is not true, however, he is also forgiving of the family wish on our wedding day; which his mother and sisters were caught "comforting" each other while hoping our marriage would not last. This was even admitted to by his mother. I have tried to get over it but how can I when things like this keep popping up?? It would take me a month to list the "things that keep popping up". I will admit that I usually respond in an inappropriate way, but I keep getting shot at just when I think things are getting better.
