Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

They want to continue living their lifestyle, just like OP. That's not necessarily selfish or entitled. It's just two incompatible ways of life. The solution is to cut ties and find people who are compatible, for both OP and his sister and her husband. Walking away in peace is always better than endless conflicts.
They’re siblings. There is no closer genetic link on the planet. They will reliably grow old together.
If there’s abuse, sure. If not, surely things can be worked on if not worked out. In addition, maybe it’s the husband with this issue and if the sibs go solo with activities it’s fine.
Cutting ties with family for good because they can’t go out to eat is quite superficial as reasons go. Either that, or it’s coming from a place of zero conflict resilience and as such needs some therapy.
Genetic links are no substitute for empathy or understanding though. You can be twins and still end up being completely different (and incompatible) persons.
Talking to you is useless. I'll enjoy never seeing your account again.
