Throwaway because I'm sworn to secrecy.
I (37M) married my wife (38F) last Friday, and our first few days of marriage were absolutely perfect. Now we've found ourselves in a predicament and are not supporting each other in the way that we need to. Backstory:
My wife's brother is diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He has been mostly absent in our 3+ years together, save for a few dinners/weddings during which he has acted out, argued with everybody, and just generally has been unpleasant to be around. This took a huge effect on my now wife so we just kept some distance.
Leading up to our wedding she softened up a little bit and wanted to include him in the festivities, which of course I was open to. I have a great relationship with my sibling and I want the same for her too. But despite not seeing him for over a year, the night before our wedding he got into several fights/arguments with his own family and my groomsmen, going as far as knocking on doors at 3am at our venue demanding cocaine (some of our guests are party animals).
The day of the wedding, in a prank gone wrong, he poured an entire beer allover my suit. It was late at night so I brushed it off and got changed, no big deal. If I made a scene about it, it would have ruined the event for my wife so I restrained myself and bit my tongue. He also managed to piss off my dad and my sister during the dinner/reception, amongst other people I'm sure.
We then spent a few days as newlyweds on a "mini-moon", enjoyed each others company, relaxed, ate, all that good stuff. I chose not to bring up his behaviour.
When we returned a few days later we were informed that her brother has been admitted to the psych ward as a suicide risk.
Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions, but my prediction is that the mixture of alcohol and drugs and his medication/condition is the culprit for this visit. He has spent some time in the psych ward years ago for the same thing.
When I heard the news my immediate reaction was to support my wife and her mom. I acted sympathetic to them both and listened to their feelings. I commiserated with them over this bad news. Obviously it's awful. I then began to have feelings of my own, which manifested mostly in anger. I am angry that he acted the way he did throughout our 2 day event, I'm angry that his condition landed him in the psych ward, I speculate that some guilt over his bad behaviour at our wedding contributed to this situation, and selfishly I'm angry that my first week of marriage has been hindered by this event. I worked so hard to make this wedding perfect for my wife who is an extremely anxious person.
This morning we argued a lot about it. She sees my anger as insensitive. She tells me that I don't understand, that I don't know what it's like to feel the way that she does about it, and that I'm reacting selfishly. I tell her that I'm here to support her and her family, that I understand the situation, but that I'm allowed to be upset. I'm completely fed up with her brother at this point. I wish him no harm, but I can't continue to let his problems affect my life.
Anyways I guess my question is am I being an asshole? Am I being insensitive? Do my feelings count here or not? I don't think he would take an attempt at his own life. Dare I say there is an attention seeking aspect to this situation. I just don't know how to go about this situation properly and I wish we weren't dealing with it so soon into our marriage.

Why did you handke it with grace then go off on it later? Your wife can’t control this, why does she get the backlash, that’s not fair. Bipolar can cause intense suicide idealation and attempts without alcohol… you can’t really define it armslength like you are trying to do. He’s ill, and yeah he’s not taking control as he could. But this isn’t your wife’s fault and didn’t destroy your marriage or wedding. Get back on track.
See, you handled it well in the moment but you seem intent on getting your knickers all atwist **now**.
Can’t you just let it go? It’s a thing that happened, and it’s over. It seems like the beer on the suit happened late, after the wedding itself was over and probably near the end of the reception. He woke some people up.
Let it go. They’ve been dealing with this nightmare their entire lives. **It doesn’t matter** if his behavior at the wedding was the cause of his latest admission or not.
**It doesn’t matter** if *you think* he would or would not actually take his life.
**It doesn’t matter** if this is or is not attention-seeking behavior.
Mental health issues are serious shit.
Be wary going forward about his inclusion, and fight at that point if you must.
But fighting **now**? Not just being there for her?
Yeah, you’re being a bit of an insensitive dick.
And I say this as a professional insensitive dick.
