For example, she wanted all the "steps" to sit on the 2nd row at her wedding.  She wanted her "mommy and daddy" together (as if that were the case).  We were married 20 years when this happened!   I felt that my husband should have put his foot down and insisted that me, his wife, sit next to him.  Thoughts?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have 2 children, grown and gone as well.  My daughter has this resentment towards me that she seems bent on venting with whomever will listen.  My husband will always stay neutral and will not ever stick up for me.   He just tells her that she has to talk to me.  If she continues her ranting on me in front of him, he just disappears and doesn't come to my defense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am I out of line in thinking that he should be standing up for me with a united front?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please let me know your thoughts.  Thanks.
