That is confusing....the crying, the hurt feelings for not being invited to something you didn't think she'd care to go to. Did you invite her to those things before? How do your sister and your W get along? Maybe she wanted you to physically hold her while she cried. Maybe next time she does that, go get a tissue, sit down next to her and see if she wants a hug. Man, that's confusing. I was told I can invite H to do things but as my friend. I can invite him to all family activities but nothing that he would see as a date. And if I ask him to do something I need to make it clear that no matter what his answer is, I'm still going, with or without him, so no pressure on me, no pressure or hurt feelings for me.
