Family and Love: Welcoming

Welcoming

Today, I was having lunch with my fiancé's family. After he excused himself to use the bathroom, his grandmother glared at me, sneered, "I never liked you" and kept eating while the others smirked. When my fiancé returned, everyone pretended nothing had happened. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to a family dinner. Things went great, until my grandma arrived. She thought it would be okay to continue our friendly prank war by congratulating me on my "wife's" pregnancy. My girlfriend actually believed it, and now thinks she's the "other woman". FML

Today, my fiancé and I met his mother for lunch to discuss wedding plans. When we got there, I went to the bathroom to wash my hands. I heard a woman talking on her cell phone in the stall about her son's "disgusting, slutty girlfriend." The toilet flushed and my future mother-in-law walked out. FML

Today, I was at my boyfriend's grandmother's house meeting her for the first time. I excused myself to the restroom and as I walked out of the room I heard her say, "You could do a lot better. She's fat." Then I heard my boyfriend reply, "I know." FML

Today, to avoid disappointing my excited great grandmother, I still attended a small family dinner to celebrate my engagement. My fiancé and I split last night, I haven't slept and had to tell her he was caught up at work. FML

Today, I was eating at a restaurant when a man came up to me and said, "You're pathetic for having lunch with someone that much older than you." My dad immediately got up and punched the man in the face. My fiancé's parents had to walk in the door right as it happened. FML

Today, it was my wedding day. Midway through the ceremony, my grandma, who's tried to ruin every relationship to date, stood up and shouted that "it ain't right", "you're too good for her", and claimed my fiancée has been cheating on me, before she was finally ejected from the building. FML

Today, I was in a restaurant with my fiancée for dinner. I commented that she had some food around her mouth. She responded with a lecture, then by throwing her hot bowl of noodles at me, before stomping out the restaurant. FML

Today, my wife made me go with her to dinner with her parents, despite their long-standing hatred of me. Later on, my mother-in-law muttered to me, "I made yours special for ya", smirked, then made a show of scratching at her butt-crack. FML

Today, I went to a family dinner. My grandma wasted no time calling me a slut for not wearing a dress, my dad called my police officer boyfriend a "fucking pig", and then he told my mother to "put a cock in it" when she defended me. No wonder I hardly ever visit these people. FML

Today, while waiting for my boyfriend to get out of the shower, I chatted with his grandma. As soon as we hear him exit the restroom, she smirks at me and lets a huge, smelly fart out. She blamed it on me. My boyfriend believed her. FML

Tell your fiancee later, hopefully he'll understand.

Yikes. I think a talk with your fiance is in order. I doubt he'd think you're making that up, and he should really know if his family is unpleasant to you. Hopefully he'll explain to them that they should be civil to you. Maybe Grandma is going cuckoo though.

Don't marry him. I say this from my own almost identical experience. Trust me, they all feel the same way. I was told "I liked that Mexican girl he was dating a lot better than you." Plus, even if you tell him what she said, he won't believe his grandmother would tell you that. It isn't worth being treated crappy by ignorant people the whole time you have to be around them.

I definitely agree that she should think about it before getting married, but I don't think she should just automatically cancel the wedding. It depends on the case... If he believes her when OP tells him and then he has a serious talk with his family (being clear that he is happy with her and will support her), then she may very well feel he's worth it. If he doesn't believe her though (which, as you pointed out, is a possibility) then it foreshadows a lot of family and trust issues, and she needs to decide whether she feels he's worth it or not.

To be honest I'd probably smirk along with my family if some amazing gorgeous girl got my brother smitten and he was such a great brother that I wouldn't want to upset him. It would really be all I could do. Forgive them OP, you've got the best of their brood and they don't like it. Be magnanimous in victory.

It would have been at this point that you should have made your way to the manager and mentioned that you think you saw that elderly woman slipping silverware into her purse. Then walk out, call for a cab, and never look back. This family is way too screwed up. You do not want to have any part in their ****** up games.

This is when I ask why, and try to get an answer. Sometimes it's a mere misunderstanding, like them thinking you do a different job to what you actually do or thinking you've done something you haven't. Best to speak to your fiancé about it, too.
