Today, after being with my fiance for almost a decade, my future mother-in-law has been accusing me of being a gold digger because we want to buy a house together. She has conveniently forgotten her son was out of work for two years and I supported the both of us. FML
I agree, your life sucks 33 422
You deserved it 2 415

BadGoldDigger tells us more.

OP here! The below is going to be pretty tl;dr, so I apologize! :P This has been an ongoing issue ever since we started the house buying process, though I'm pretty sure she has never really like me . I guess she didn't feel threatened until my fiance and I were going to have something legally tying us together. Aaaaand the reason why I'm pretty sure she doesn't like me is because I'm Asian(well, half, so I guess I'm not white enough for her...?) She made a comment when my fiance and I tried dating in high school and broke up about being glad she's not going to have any Asian grand babies. ANYWAYS. He came home from his parents' house pissed as usual because both his parents are super negative. Fortunately, his dad seems to like me, but picks at everything my fiance does. His mom kept asking him questions like, "Are you really happy with her?" "Does she make you happy?" She had asked him where I was at and he told her I was out with friends and she had the audacity to suggest I was cheating on him. Her reasoning, "your dad and I don't see our friends very often." Never mind the fact that my fiance hangs out with his friends until 2AM just about every Saturday night doing nerd things. But I'm not allowed to have friends, apparently. She even took his sarcasm seriously when he told her he was going to have to buy me a nice sink for the kitchen. It has been like that every time he goes to see them(he doesn't wonder why I don't want to go over there) so it has gotten to the point he is going to basically tell them to (nicely) **** off or he's going to stop visiting until they can play nice. Irony is, his grandma from his dad's side used to treat his mom like dirt for the longest time. So unless it's a family tradition, you would think she would understand. Good thing for my fiance is that both my parents adore him and are really supportive of the both of us. I know it's because they both came from families that had a hard time accepting the other.

Ignore her and buy the house anyway. If she keeps haranguing you, don't invite her to the housewarming.

Now I ain't sayin she a gold digger...

Hey, if your fiance is supportive of you both getting a house together, then **** her opinion. just let her say her bullshit and ignore her

Well, I've been through this and it doesn't get any easier. I hope things work out for you, guys.

Buy the house seriously, best investment you'll make

Your mother-in-law has been with your fiance for ten years? Seriously, this kind of grammar needs to stop :/

We may be related. Sounds JUST like my hag of a MIL. Good luck.

Thanks for the follow up, it really sounds like your going to be better off without those in-laws and their negativity. I'm glad your fiancé is on your side though, it sounds like you scored a real keeper!

I totally know how you feel!! It's not the exact same situation, but my fiancé's mom treats me that exact same way! She treats my BIL's fiancé like she is the best thing since sliced bread. But I am always doing something wrong.

Hey, internets-5 for having a nerdy fiance! The whole thing really sucks, OP, but I'm glad to hear your fiance isn't under the thumb of his mother. I don't understand how some people can think it's okay to be that outwardly cruel.

hey Op, please please please go here: http://community.babycenter.com/groups/a4725/dwil_nation start reading around there and start building your spines. you and DF both. you should also totally post this story on there. most advice you'll get is to TO at minimum, AND that FMIL should NEVER get to meet any of your babies when you have em.

My mother is unaccepting of my boyfriend because he's Chinese so I can understand parents who are disapproving of someone because of their race.

My father in law is like this and has been since my husband and I got together in 2003, when we were due to get married he tried to delay the marriage by saying we should wait and save up etc and we both knew it was a delay tactic. Still says snide remarks and insults me. Thank god he lives on the other side of the world now. OP it's their problem, not yours, just be who you are :)

"Not white enough.." Maybe you're not black enough, OP.

Maybe your fiancé could fake his death to his parents, and then y'all move to Vladivostok and become Anastaysia and Vladamir and live out the rest of your lives in siberia, were you will grow old without the stress of the in-laws. Alternatively, bar them from the wedding

Same here, although we don't have the race issue, my mother-in-law-to-be just doesn't like me. And she always was diminished and hated by her mother-in-law and promised us, when we started dating, that she won't be like that, because she knows how that feels. Haha. She never says anything to me, just picking on my fiancé and planting absolutely stupid ideas in his naive head. Most things he just tells me, because he knows it's stupid, too, but some things drip through, if you hear the same stuff everytime, then you start to believe it. Til know we got over this by talking about it, but I don't know how long he can stand her manipulating speeches. Like I'd cook unhealthy, to make him fat and unattractive to girls, I'd become pregnant, abandon my apprenticeship and suck all his money out of him (he's studying and earns less than me, I even paid some rents for him, because his parents won't lend him any money, when he's broke). Who cares, after over 4 years of this I just leave it uncommented and treat them like there is nothing between us, luckily they live 3-4 hours away from us and I don't see my in-laws very often :-) Hope dies last. You'll withstand it together, good luck!

Sounds like maybe the fiancé should give someone's momma a little talk. Just saying.

Dear Op, please please please go to this place: http://community.babycenter.com/groups/a4725/dwil_nation Her comment is not Ok, like, AT ALL!!!
