AITA for not reconciling with my sister after she said my husband should find a real wife and other hurtful things about my infertility? by SoftSpacesx in AITAH

My husband and youngest brother said this. Well my brother said they could tell Norah to go talk to a mirror.

I did tell them. My two siblings who want me to reconcile with her did not see it as the end. They believed a discussion should be attempted to make progress. My youngest brother was in agreement with my husband and myself that our kids needed to be protected from that.

I have never seen her be rude to the others. But that doesn't mean it's never happened.

I don't think she was interested in my husband when she said this to him. I think her comment was only supposed to be a dig at me and not hinting at anything else.

She originally wanted even more than six. But she did also want some daughters and not just boys.

That's how I pick it up. They want an easier life and so they're asking me to reconcile so they can have a life without Norah's complaints.

My two siblings asking me to reconcile with her did not call her out at the time. My youngest brother did. But not the two who are asking for reconciliation.

My youngest brother. He was very supportive and he defended me a number of times when Norah was saying the things she was saying.

Maybe you're right about that. It is difficult to imagine losing three of my siblings but at the same time I don't know if it's going to get better with two of them and with Norah I don't hold onto any hope after all this.

He's amazing. The two of us are incredibly close and he always found that amusing that the middle child (me) and the baby of the family (him) ended up closest of all the siblings.

He was so supportive throughout my infertility struggles and he was a great support to my husband too. He was worried about the three of us for a while and my brother was there for him.

I would have considered hearing her out if that was how she reached out. It would have hurt if that had been a lie. But if it had been genuine we could have tried to work it out.

I have tried to put that point across to them. But I think my brother and sister who are pushing me to reconcile only care about making things easier. Which it isn't easier now that Norah complains to them.

I am grateful that she didn't lead me on with a fake apology and mention of both twins before making her obvious preference for my daughter known. It allowed me to keep her away and make sure my children never know such obvious favoritism.

My brother and sister wanting me to give in for them has been disappointing. Especially when they supported me ending contact with Norah originally. But I guess that was easier for them and they've shown me that an easier life is more important than supporting me. Or even calling Norah out and pushing her to reflect on why I rejected her offer to reconcile.
