He said he won't be asking her why she is yet to pick up the phone and say sorry as its not his problem really, its between me and her.
You are a married couple! If you have a problem he should be there right beside you. Not just say "not my problem". Especially since he would probably just like you and his mother to get a long. On his part ignoring it would be worse.
Best thing for you to do though is not let his mother/sister get to you. Easier said than done, but they would love for a reaction as they are trying to paint you as the bad one. Dont rise to it.
Your husband started this whole mess, he should sort it and have the females in his life just get along.0 -
Thanks everyone x0

There's nothing wrong with FB it's the people that use it that are the problem. You'll find that those who are outspoken and rude on there are the same in real life too - and wonder why they are always end up in arguments..... :rotfl:
I don't know what else has gone on but for hubby to say it's yours and hers problem - oh no! He ought to man up and sort it out it happened thanks to him. From the sounds of it though he won't do anything, you've done the best thing and have deleted them from your life, now forget about it.
Look at it from their point of view... they had their say, got deleted for it and your OH 'went mad' at them too. You may not get an apology but at least they know they are in the wrong.
I wouldn't want excuses or an apology for the sake of it, be the bigger person and ignore them. Being ignored really hurts troublemakers, drives them mad.
Happy moneysaving all.0 -

What would you do?
Stop using facebook for a start or at the very least don't post your life all over it and don't let anyone you don't know post on your wall.
You don't need these people in your life, your OH has little to do with them, you don't need their apologies move on.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -
Facebook is this alternative reality out in cyberspace! Its where people like to post things they wouldnt dare to say to you in real life!
For a really 'real' life - dont go on facebook! ignore everything said on there - and get a real life!
Why is it that FB always seems to be behind half of the problems on hereFreedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0 -
What's the point of trying to force an apology and stirring everything up all over again? These people live 50 miles away, you hardly ever see them, so why on earth does it matter that you have to be seen to be in the right and everyone grovel to you? I'm not saying you're not in the right, I'm just saying that so long as you know that and your partner knows that, who cares what some people you feel nothing for think about it?
Despite the awful upbringing, you say your partner wants to be accepted as part of that family, so for your partner's sake alone you should keep your mouth shut and not stir up any more trouble. Yes, they were in the wrong, yes, they're horrible people, your partner took your side and told them they were in the wrong, now let it go. You can't make someone see things how you see them, and forcing them to mouth words they don't believe will cause nothing but more grief for everyone. Let it go, because if you don't you're only causing more misery for you and your partner.0 -

Why do people do it? They post their entire lives on there then can't cope with the consequences of realising the whole world knows their private business and has an opinion on it. Crazy.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -

Maybe it's the celebrity craze, everyone wants to be known for something and be on telly, maybe a monitor is the next closest thing.
Information, for informations sake in the most part it seems to me.Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0
