Am i being dramatic?

My sister had a miscarriage and she had a D&C today and i live far from her and i wanted to book a flight to be there for her and my husband said 'why should you go shes got enough support'. And 'No one came when you went through the same thing'. And now i am really upset at him for saying those things. I know my sister has enough support but i wanted to be there for her as a SISTER. And no one knew i had a miscarriage as well as a D&C because i chose not to tell anyone and he keeps blaming my family for not being there for me. Am i being dramatic?

Show your support

I’m sorry but I had miscarriages and stillborns and I don’t understand what being surrounded by family should do… isn’t the pain the same? I think if you really wanna go you should go but for me it’s just something that wouldn’t help. I feel like ur husband is still hurt about nobody of your family coming to be there for you even though you both decided to keep it a secret. Maybe you should talk to him about that and explain your feelings as well.

I’m so sorry that happened to both of you. I don’t think anyone can have enough support. Sisterly support is different as well. Very different scenarios if you did didn’t tell people. Also people’s situations are different - finances, other children, work commitments, pets can all mean people can’t come and support in person. I completely understand why you’d be upset at what your husband said. I would be as well. It is probably coming from a place of anger and hurt and feeling they didn’t support you (probably not thinking of the reason behind this like fuel not knowing). I would speak to your sister on the phone tomorrow and see what she wants. Everyone’s coping strategies are different and she may feel better having people around her. Even to help cook/clean when she may not have the energy to do it. I don’t think you’re being dramatic. Readdress it with your husband and things may be different tomorrow. She is your sister and you know her best. Take care xx

Yes go be with your sister.

No, he's being thoughtless and, as an only child who is married to a person with siblings, I don't believe it to be the place of a spouse to define how one interacts with one's siblings. I also don't believe it's the place of any man to speak to the experience of any part of womanhood, whether it be childbirth, miscarriage, pregnancy, sisterhood, or what have you. If you feel the need to be there for your sister, go be there for your sister...point blank, bottom line, period.

How does he not realize no one coming when you went through the same thing is why you know you should go??? You are not being dramatic he is being insanely insensitive and disrespectful to both you and your sister. I’m sorry.

Ive decided to come and its the best decision ever. Even though my husband isnt speaking to me 🥲
