Today, I overheard my mom talking on the phone with my sister about how much they hate my fiancé. My wedding is in two weeks and my family has been pretending to like my future husband for three years. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my father told all of us that he eloped with his girlfriend of two months. I'm engaged to the woman's daughter, and have been engaged since before they met, but now my family is making fun of me for marrying my "sister". FML
Today, my two closest friends declared that they hated each other. They're my bridesmaids. The wedding is in three weeks. FML
Today, I overheard my boyfriend talking to his mom about me. It sounded like they were planning something for me, like a marriage. They were planning how to break up with me. FML
Today, I called my mom to make sure she could attend on the wedding day my fiancé and I had discussed. She started off with criticizing the venue we considered, then went on to criticize my fiancé, and then stated she would under no circumstances help out, but demanded to pick my wedding dress. FML
Today, a week after my fiancé and I got engaged, his mother is already complaining that she isn't involved enough in the wedding arrangements. We haven't even set a date yet. FML
Today, I overheard my mother telling my sister that she expects my marriage to fall apart any day now. Apparently, I have no concept of what "marriage" really means. My husband and I just celebrated our 7th anniversary, while my mother is planning her 5th wedding. FML
Today, my wedding is scheduled for next week. Today is also the day my whole family had an epic falling out, resulting in my mother disowning my brother. Apart from having them taking turns sobbing at me through the phone, they're also not coming to the wedding. I paid the hotel rooms in advance. FML
Today, I found out my little sister is marrying my ex, and that my mother set them up. FML
Today, I found out that my fiancé's sister, who only got engaged a couple of months ago, is getting married before us. I wouldn't have a problem with this if she wasn't planning her wedding to be exactly like ours will be. FML
Today, my ex-husband and the woman he left me for, also known as my sister, are getting married. On my birthday. My mom is gleefully helping plan the wedding. She seriously sees nothing wrong, and tells me to “stop being a Bitter Betty and be happy for your sister.” FML

You don't live to make them happy..live your own life.

I feel bad for you. Talk to them and maybe you can make them think positively.

Honestly, who cares?! He's your future husband and you love him that's all that matters. You're family can hate him but as long as they don't meddle in your life.

At least they pretend! My family just flat out tells him and I how much they hate him!

Haven't these people ever heard of closing the damn door? It's much better to fix these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

Well you have your own life for a reason and that reason is so you cab live to make yourself happy with what you are. You should be grateful for the fact that your family is trying their best to hide it and keep him around rather than say it to his face and make him leave. Maybe you should try to talk to them and tell them what you heard maybe they can resolve their problems. Honesty is its own reward.

Honestly, after you are happily married you won't have to listen to what they say or think of your husband. Who cares what they think, you and your fiancé love eachother and that's all you need. **** what your family says OP!

So they are tolerant enough to at least pretend to like him? What is so bad about it? They could act much worse about it than they do.

Your wedding has nothing to do with it, your family's opinion shouldn't change how you feel about him, they'll learn to like him but you can't learn to love someone just because they like that person.

It could be worse. They could trash him while he's in the room and pretend he's not there. At least they're being polite, and keeping their dislike a secret.
