In families, as in all relationships, it's important to be able to take no for an answer. It doesn't matter how many times I ask my sister to go to Six Flags with me: if she says no, we're not going! Obviously, it takes two to tango, but it takes one to listen and learn the boundaries and comfort levels of your loved ones. If you can't do that, I don't know what to tell you.
One pair of sisters recently got into a squabble over one not respecting the other's boundaries. They are biological siblings adopted as babies, and one of them has a close relationship with their birth parents. The other wants literally nothing to do with them. Despite how much her sister has pressured her into talking to them, she's stood her ground. Now, her sister is trying to get her to invite them to her wedding despite them being functionally strangers to her.
