Today, my father in law drunkenly announced at dinner that he wished my husband had married my best friend. No one stuck up for me. Not even my husband. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that my father, who very recently lost his wife, decided that drunkenly hitting on my long-time boyfriend's mom was a good idea. FML
Today, my dad told me he liked men. While he was making a drunken speech. At my wedding. FML
Today, my friend's father got me mixed up with his new wife when telling stories for his wedding speech. Everyone noticed. The new wife was not pleased. FML
Today, I’m considering a divorce. My father-in-law has never liked me and is very vocal about that, names like "bastard" and "prick" are common. My wife is normally very headstrong and takes no nonsense, but she lets him treat me this way so she must agree with him. The wedding was only a year ago. FML
Today, my father-in-law decided to disown myself and his son, because my husband decided to hyphenate his last name. FML
Today, at our wedding reception my new father-in-law gave his speech, saying his little girl was too good for me. Everyone, including my parents, agreed. FML
Today, it was my wedding day. With my best friend as the priest, she asked, "Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?" After saying I do, she then turned to him and asked, "Do you want to bang my friend?" Everyone laughed, except my already disapproving father. FML
Today, I was the best man at a wedding and I was flirting with a cute bridesmaid. Then this old guy decides to give the newlyweds a toast. He made a crappy joke and barely anybody laughed. So I say to the girl, "Wow that sucked, who the hell does he think he is?" The girl replies, "That's my dad". FML
Today, at my wedding, my husband's drunk friend admitted that the only reason my husband and I started dating was because he was dared. FML
Today, I got married to the man I love even though my whole family told me not to marry him. He got into a drunken fight at our wedding and is now in jail. He apparently won't be getting out any time soon due to charges I didn't know about. FML

That's just wrong. It's going to make holidays very difficult I'm sure. Drunk or not, you every right to tell your father in law he's an ass and walk out. Your hubby should've said something.

I agree with twelve and if you were driving then leave his butt behind

It's probably true. Maybe your best friend is a superior woman who is just too good for your husband. Your father-in-law and husband are lamenting that the best he could do was to settle for an asshole like you.

I agree and disagree with the previous comments stating that OP's husband should have stuck up for her. Although she should know to stick up for herself, in laws are a complicated issue. You can't just curse at them because you're pissed at what they said even if it's out of line. Main reason because there will ALWAYS be people around to exaggerate the facts. That being said you have to keep your mouth shut until you get the in law and spouse alone and express what needs to be said appropriately WHEN AND ONLY WHEN you are level headed. When you're married it's not just to that one person it's to the family as well, and they will ALWAYS be a part your life and your child/children's too. What OP's husband did by not saying anything is probably the best decision that could have been taken, but the second step is for him to take her aside and tell her he loves her and make her feel secure in their marriage. Then when his father sobered up he could have spoken to him and asked him to apologize. That is it, marriage is complicated learn to deal with it OP.

The family is definitely NOT always in your childrens' lives. You as the parent have the right to decide who is and who isn't and if you have shitty in laws you can make sure they don't see them.

Well of course, but in this case it's not like the father in law beat her up. Exiling family from your children's lives is a delicate matter, just because they don't like OP it doesn't mean they won't love their grandchildren.

i think its more that he was drunk and they didnt take him seriously. or atleast they didnt want to make it worse by trying to reason with or argue with a drunk

I see a potential three way in action. That will definitely get rid of the awkwardness of this situation.

Sometimes when a drunk person says something it best to ignore it
