My nephew was born a little less than two years ago, and I have yet to meet him. I live about 1,400 miles from my sister (my nephew's mother) and her husband. I moved away five years ago and haven't been back since; I have no desire to go back to my hometown. Since I moved, my mother has come to visit me a couple of times, and my sister has come to visit me once.

My sister and mother keep asking me to come out to meet my nephew, but I just can't make myself do it. They've even offered to buy me a round trip ticket to fly out and meet him. I would also be able to stay with either my mom or my sister, so the trip would be virtually cost-free.

Am I the asshole for not meeting my nephew yet?
