Husband Cut Ties With Family After His Sister Hit His Wife Over A Silly Argument

OP and their wife have faced ongoing family issues with OP’s mom, sister, and others. A recent altercation turned physical when OP’s sister attacked OP’s wife during an argument. Now, they’re contemplating having no contact with their family. The family blames OP’s wife for the incident and is also withholding important financial documents.

While OP acknowledges that the final straw should be the withholding of financial documents, it’s a challenging decision. They seek advice on whether cutting ties with their family is the right choice. Additionally, OP’s wife clarifies that OP intervened as soon as the altercation became physical. Previous conversations with their family had established that OP’s wife could defend herself, and she preferred to do so. However, when things escalated physically, OP immediately stepped in to protect her.

They have considered making no contact with OP’s problematic family multiple times. After a recent incident, we’re leaning towards it.

They were asked to help paint OP’s brother’s house but were given minimal supplies. Started taping, and his brother began painting.

Finished taping, nothing to do, wife and OP plans to order food. While discussing, sister and mom began yelling.

Sister gave OP the paint sprayer, confusion about food, Mom’s comment, and OP’s tape contribution led to an argument.

Mom argued tape-painting, wife questioned yelling, sister exploded about talking to family, wife confused, tensions rose, leading to a physical altercation.

Sister lashed out, claiming wife had no right to question, wife defended, escalating to a physical confrontation during family gathering.

Sister initiated physical fight with wife, who defended herself, accidentally striking sister. Chaos ensued; sister called for police during family altercation.

Sister attacked wife again; OP intervened. Brother and SIL joined, berating OP’s wife. Mom defended sister.

Received texts and calls blaming OP’s wife. Called a terrible brother, son, and uncle. Sisters’ kids also witnessed the incident.

After getting tax returns, OP’s wife and he are going no contact with his family, making plans, and cutting ties.

The tax forms drama seems like the final straw. Sometimes, cutting ties with toxic family members is necessary for your own happiness.
