I also think it has to do with the fact that he knows most of his family is on my side through this. I think it kills them that they aren't excepting of his new life and they still consider me as family.
His own Grandmother said that if it was up to her, she would rather have me there then him. But MIL wants her son there (understandably) so she asked H's grandmother to uninvite me.
Blood IS thicker than water.
Another question? He has been gone for over a year and half now, over 2 emotionally. Do I continue to be his friend (which hasn't seem to gotten me anywhere) or is it time to go as dark as possible (we have 2 kids)?
