Thanks for your advice Akashic and ns123.
As Akashic suggested I am not sure if I can let go off "my mother, sister & niece" off my life. My mother(recently widowed) is completely dependent on me. I think I should push my sister to make herself financially independent. My niece is still going to school. I think I should make one more attempt to reunite the sister with her estranged husband. I have sent my mother & sister on a vacation to my other sisters house & things at home now look a little easy(the sulking & disagreements with my wife have come down). We are also arranging a get-together for our friends in our house.(which we wouldn't do with them around- as alcohol would be serverd in the party)
I always try my best to take care of my wife & to be frank it also borders around appeasing her.
I think with these 2 replies I have got some more clarity. I believe I was in denial mode all the time - Denying that everything would go well & not blow out of proportion, that I can handle my wife anytime, expecting that she would consider my niece as her daughter & liking her more and not insisting on a 2nd child. I will definetly do a rethink on this. Thanks for all the help friends.
