Yes, we certainly sympathise with Aunt Jennifer because she is the victim of patriarchal and male-dominated society. The line “The massive weight of Uncle’s wedding band sits heavily upon Aunt Jennifer’s hand” shows that she is trapped in an unhappy and unsuccessful marriage. She is bearing the load of her marriage.
The poet also seems to be sympathetic towards her like us. This is why she/he exposes the ordeals which Aunt Jennifer is going through.
