In Laws guilted me into hosting Easter Dinner,and led to me starting to fight back

For Easter they traditionally do kliebasa and cheesy potatoes. So, in January I sent an email out. I invited everyone in the two families to com to Easter. I stated that this year for Easter and future Easters, we would do international traditional meals. The first one was German. Which is traditionally a lamb potato meal. I said I could cover desert, veg, and salad. Inlaws do not respond, the uncle's and cousins RSVP. They sound excited. The thing to keep in mind is I do the cooking no matter what. I also said that I have the meat potatoes and desert since there is a focused tradition on each for Germans.

So come Feb JNFIL calls and says that I can't cook the meal I want. They have there traditional dishes. If I want I can add to that or take another course just not the meat and potatoes. So the first time I pushed back against them. In the end I said I will cook and serve what I choose, if you want to join me you can. Three weeks before two month go by not a word. 3 weeks before Easter they call and said that I can set e what I want. I expressed appreciation and said, since this time it is new they can bring a small plate of Kilbasa. They do. Easter comes the bring a bowl of kliebasa.

I got up at 6am and started cooking $100 worth of lamb , potatoes, and from scratch desert. I rolled my own dough. Easter starts at 3pm dinner is on time everything going well. Family shows and tries to take over the kitchen. They refuse to leaven even after I asked. Finally a huge hot rack of lamb drives them out. Parent inlaws take no lamb, even to try. Rest of the family loves it. I respect if they did not take it. As a courtesy I took some kliebasa. MIL, say, yes then turn to her friend and I guess we get a normal easter next year.

Next Easter, from the hat of nations we pulled Greece. Different lamb dish. I talked to them before and told them that there will be plenty of food so if they don't like something, there is other things. I would be offended if they brought substitutes to what I am cooking. I also asked they stay out of the kitchen as I need room to move around.

Easter comes, they have a pan of potatoes and bowl of kliebasa. I mentioned it but now response. I don't cook the potato's and setup a buffet table baracade so they could not come into the kitchen. The kliebasa I tried putting away and it kept coming back out. I am pissed but keep my mouth shut. When dinner is over I said, that they really hurt my feelings and if they want to do Easter and serve whatever they want they can have it at their house. Only response was, ok.

It was my first stand after 12 years of marriage. It was also the beginning of the end of my marriage. Wife refused to stand by my side.
