A Reddit user who vented about considering disinviting his brother from the family wedding has garnered significant online support.
The user, u/aggressive_average_7, expressed disappointment as his brother reneged on hosting the wedding at their backyard citing a superstitious belief.
The sibling episode unfolded just two weeks before the intimate wedding with a small guest list of 26 attendees.
Originally, the brother and his wife were enthusiastic about hosting the wedding, but backed out last minute due to fears of bad luck affecting their young children.
With the sudden change in plans, the couple quickly found an alternative venue with the help of family and friends.
Therapist Rachel Goldberg empathized with the couple, acknowledging their right to feel upset with the situation but also commended their pragmatic approach towards resolving it.
Goldberg noted that while superstition played a major role, other factors, like the birth of a new child, may have compounded the stress leading to the abrupt change in plans.
Despite the tension between siblings, Goldberg remained optimistic about the possibility of reconciliation in the future through mutual understanding and communication.
