"Either he didn't do so as "gently" as you think, or-and my money's on this one-there was something much bigger upsetting your sister. Did she take a lot of time and/or spend a lot of money to go to the wedding, even though you have a strained relationship? Perhaps that was an olive branch of sorts, and she was expecting a little gratitude instead of a scolding."
"The person I feel the worst for in this story is the poor diabetic cat who has no clue it's at the center of such drama. Your sister sounds like a real pill, your parents shouldn't be taking sides, and your husband chose the absolute wrong time to address it."
A newly married woman cared for a younger sister's diabetic cat for two weeks after their parents had to leave town. At the wedding after-party, the husband suggested that the sister be thanked; the sister stormed off, blocked the woman on social media, and refused contact for the rest of the trip. The parents sided with the sister and told the woman to "drop the drama" and "be an adult." Suggested actions include sending a thank-you card, allowing time to cool off, and focusing on the new marriage and wedding memories.
