Groom's Family Hates Me

Deborah, on June 9, 2015 at 9:06 AM

Posted in Etiquette and Advice 272

So my FH's family hates me. They refuse to be in the same room with me and he's not allowed to even talk about me. Why?

So my FH's family hates me. They refuse to be in the same room with me and he's not allowed to even talk about me. Why? Because we dated six years ago and I was very sick and couldn't work which made my FH stressed and we broke up then. We got back together three years later under the condition that even if I'm sick I need to work somehow. I have fibromyalgia, chronic migraines and back problems. I work online now and work part-time. This isn't good enough for them and about nine months ago sent me letters telling me to break up with my FH because they don't think I love him. He is very soft spoken but did take a stand for me on that issue.

Well, he wants his family at the wedding - can't blame him. I am worried that they won't show and how that might feel for him. If they do come, he wants his sister, brother-in-law (who sent the letter) and brother to be his groomsmen. I would prefer they aren't but he has a right to have them.

What can I do to make this easier?

    At this point, MaybenotMaybe or Nothappening or whoever she is, is asking for and deserves what she gets.

    @ Lively I was totally expecting something from OP, but maybe they gave up due to their thread being hijacked?

    @ MrsA2B - I completely agree and, sadly, am starting to think the FMIL is not so crazy after all.

    I didn't read this whole thread, nor do I have time (class on Tuesday nights), but rule #1 of Confession Friday is to NOT talk about those posts outside of that thread. I removed your comment, NotHappening. If you have any questions about that, or rules in general, please feel free to email me directly: katieb@weddingwire.com.

    @NH - Emmy was right on and maybe it will take someone being unfiltered and blunt to get it through your head that things are NOT normal. You NEED to get out of your relationship and STOP playing the victim. I am going to be direct - if you act like this with your FMIL no wonder she treats you the way she does. I would not want my son to be with someone so unstable.

    Also - if you are going to be on here, respect the rules. I.E. edit you comment to remove FutureMrsMyers confession details.

    WWKatie- I assume it's ok to bring up your own confession right?

    I finally saw uncensored shoe peen! Amazing lol - the censored version doesn't do it justice. Men are the weirdest and @Mrs.K I am really curious as to how you first came across this photo lol.

    This entire thread is a clusterfuck. But here are my two cents anyway - marriage is a social contract. The reason it is important to have discussions about finances, future plans, children, religion etc. etc. is to make sure that you and your SO are on the same page about the big things that impact your day to day life immensely. So if OP's FH wants to be in a two income household (or recognizes that with his income he NEEDS to be in a two income household), then I don't think that is an unfair "condition" of the relationship. But that is between OP and her FH - not his family or hers or anyone else. Those people don't get to be part of the social contract, and OP's FH needs to tell them to butt the hell out.

    As for women working "contributing to the downfall of society" ... I can't even go there, it is so infuriating.

    Emmy you made her cry. The other posts helped a bit but this one has torn her down or something.

    I don't know.. I saw red when she brought up something she shouldn't bring up .. And directly named the person
