Husband’s holiday cards undermine wife’s grudge

DEAR ABBY: Several members of my husband’s family let us down badly by not attending our daughter’s wedding. They had various work and other family obligations near the date of our event. “Save the Date” cards had been sent out six months prior, but we were apparently lower on their priority list. I expressed to my husband my desire to not send holiday cards this year because I no longer feel good about these family members.
