I'm so grateful. She has made a vow to stop wast ing time on negative influences. I can see her point, but the problem is, this includes my sister. I'll admit my sister is self- centered, bends the truth, and loves stirring up drama and splashing it all over social media. For example, after Elise was diagnosed, my sister posted how she'd had a premonition that Elise had cancer and begged her to go get it checked out but she didn't. None of that ever happened. But that doesn't mean she's a terrible person. While Elise was sick, she sent food over regularly, checked in daily and helped with the yard work when I was over whelmed. I don't think she deserves to be cut out, but Elise sees her as causing constant grief. I've asked Elise to talk to my sister, but she said we've both tried this and it made the drama worse. Elise promises she will be cor dial to my sister when they meet and says I can see her whenever I want, but plans to avoid her and unfriend and block her on all social media. This will cause unbelievable turmoil. I'm trying to be sensitive to what my wife has been though, but I think she's going too far here. Isn't she? —Anonymous You asked Elise to reconsider, and she said no. You don't have to agree with her to respect her right to do this. Saying “Thanks for the food and yard work," then blocking her, is less than ideal. But, your sister's disregard for the truth and privacy is worse. Elise has already compromised by agreeing to be cordial when their paths cross. That's the gig when half a couple opts out of someone. Plus, you technically incurred whatever indebtedness you feel toward your sister; you can't hold your wife to it. The one accommodation I'd add is for Elise to mute vs. unfriend your sister. No need to touch off any “unbelievable turmoil.” About that: Flipping out is your sister's problem, not Elise's. Plus: You're citing the threat of turmoil as a reason for Elise to reconsider, but it serves even better as cause for Elise to distance herself. Don't cave to a tantrum unless you want more tantrums. You are also at liberty to say to your sister, “Elise is giving herself the space she needs, and I totally support her.” Then, to any other blowback: “This is not my business, so I'm out,” and prove it by staying out.
