My wife is the second of four children and I think she has an extreme case of middle child syndrome. This is causing her to make decisions that I don't agree with but don't want to push her away from me.

She had had issues with here family for a long time before we even met, but recently it came to a head and she is changing her phone number/email to avoid contact with them. I have always had a good relationship with them, but she wants me to ignore their calls and delete their emails when they come in.

I've always had a great relationship with my family and this is very uncomfortable for me and feel that there are very few situations that you should completely cut family out of your life. I don't know if i should just go along with her decision or not, after all, it is not my family she has any issues with. She cut off contact with her family without warning, should i at least disreetly let them know what is going on?

major issues she has with them (many more, this is just what is off the top of my head....imo extreme middle child syndrome):

-In college, she was hospitalized an hour away, they didn't come to visit.

-They planned a trip to visit distant family, and "forgot" to invite her.

- Visited relatives near us, we asked them to come up to our house so they could see it for the first time and we would make dinner.....Going to an amusement park was more important to them....but we could come to their house for dinner.

- Invited brother to stay with us on a visit. Instead made arrangements to stay with another relatives, after expressing displeasure, relented and said he would stay with us 1 night out of the whole trip...she declined this offer.
