Today, I met my fiancé's much older sister for the first time. Turns out she is actually my old high school English teacher who used to make me cry at least 3 times a week. It's been three hours and I've accidentally called her Miss Willow 4 times and been reduced to tears twice. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I met my mom's fiancé. He's a nice guy, he's also my wife's dad. I'll soon call my wife my sister. FML
Today, my daughter got engaged. Her fiancé is not only 25 years older than her, but was her teacher in middle school. FML
Today, I saw my older sister for the first time in three years. We hadn't spoke since I found out that she was the woman my college boyfriend left me for. Unfortunately, our reunion was fueled by her two-year-old son's desire to meet his dad. My husband. FML
Today, I was meeting my sister's fiancé. I went to an internet cafe before I went to her house for dinner with them. I was on a computer and there was this really attractive man next to me. I was flirting with him and we exchanged numbers. Turns out, he is my sister's fiancé. FML
Today, I was introduced to my future stepmother, but it turns out that I already know her. Not only are we the same age and went to the same high school, when we were in the same math class together the teacher would often confuse our names because "we could pass as twins". FML
Today, I met my sister's fiancé. I would have been happier for her if he hadn't been mine a month ago when I introduced them. FML
Today, I learned who my dad's new fiancée is. Upon meeting her she exclaimed, "My, I haven't seen you in a while!" She's my ex-boyfriend's mom. FML
Today, my younger sister stopped talking to me. I got engaged to my boyfriend of 4 years and apparently, she's been in love with him since she met him. Through me. She's 12. FML
Today, we travelled back to England to meet my fiance's family. Turns out her cousin is a guy I hated from high school. I tried to be an adult, but we began sniping insults at each other like we used to. By the end of the night, we realised we actually missed hating each other and are now, ew, frenemies. FML
Today, my dad married his fiancée, who insists I call her "Mom." I'm three years older than her, and went to the same high school. She's taking me shopping next week to buy me "something nice." FML

What a crying shame

I would strongly suggest you talk to your fiancé about this. Tell him he needs to make it clear to his sister that you are going to be his wife and that she has to be nice to you if only out of respect for him. You shouldn't have to put up with this crap at every family gathering for the rest of your life.

She's not your teacher anymore. Tell her to suck it. Remind her once she becomes family you can always .settle things in the backyard.

Not to be blunt, grow up. Youre much older now and dont let her affect you.

YDI because you obviously didn't actually learn any English.

Probably because the teacher was busy being a bitch to her rather than teaching her.

Opportunity to get your fiancé to rip the shit out of her, verbally, for all the crap she put you through, and make the bitch apologise and beg for forgiveness? Probably not helpful in the long run...but it's pretty tempting.

I get being scared to speak up in high school...young & dumb. But you're a grown man now - grow a pair & act like one. suck it up man & put her in her place - she has no power here.

It's hard to go from a teacher student relationship to one that's on equal footing. My sister started teaching at a school she went to and she's had problems adjusting to working with some of her old teachers.

Once you've been through something to that's taught you to react a certain way, it's very hard to not act that way. My mom was in an abusive relationship that she got out of 15 years ago, but she still has trouble with confrontation. Same with me and my brother. When I was younger, anything I said he didn't like would get me hit. I still have trouble speaking up, though I'm getting better.

Awe that sucks OP, hope things get better! If not, have a talk with her or your fiancé and see what happens.

What the heck!?? Seriously? You are going to marry her brother and in 3 hours she was so horrible to you that she reduced you to tears twice? What sort of person speaks to another person like that? Talk about civilised - that is terrible OP, I'm so sorry!
