DEAR ABBY: My cousin ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥œScottyÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ invited my husband and me to see his new house. He made it clear, several times, that my sister and her husband, ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥œIan,ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ are not invited because his wife doesnÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥™t like Ian. My sister and brother-in-law would have no problem if they never saw Scotty again. However, every time I speak to Scotty, he reiterates not to bring my brother-in-law along.

I admit, Ian is a difficult guy to get to know, but I have known him for 40 years and he really has a heart of gold. How can I resolve this in a way that wonÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥™t result in not communicating with Scotty ever again? ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥” RELATIVE DRAMA IN FLORIDA
