OK so my fiance family are a bunch of know it all and can be ignorant at times with their comments. I always bite my tounge and hold things back to avoid saying things I shouldn't.

OK so my fiance family are a bunch of know it all and can be ignorant at times with their comments. I always bite my tounge and hold things back to avoid saying things I shouldn't. Well this past weekend has been crapiest weekend. ..all because of his sister and Facebook. ..I know dumb right.

I went to her house to do some wedding planning and she randomly says how my Facebook pictures are annoying cause all me and know one needs to see my face like that all the time. So I laughed it off and told her whatever I don't care and yes every one needs to see my beautiful face, it show's confidence i think. But this part bugged me most. Then she says "seriously though once a month OK for selfie and no it doesn't it shows you have to prove to everyone your pretty "...so I'm thinking "wow what a bitch"..THEN she says "for every selfie that's one less center piece I'll won't help you with". So I'm like bitting my tounge like crazy. ..

    This is so ridiculous. Grow up and fight your own battles. It's not his place to defend your Facebook selfies.

    OP, you are actually right on one thing--clearly this is not just about Facebook. Unless your FH is planning to break all ties with his family (which it doesn't sound like he is) you are not only marrying him, but ALSO his sister, father, brother, etc. Regardless of how "ignorant" you think they are, these people will be in your life through the entirety of your marriage. It's time to understand that and truly examine yourself to start building healthy communication skills. If not, the problems will only escalate and your FH may not be standing on your side at the end of it. Don't forget, these are the people he came from.

    I skimmed this and oh dear! You do sound bratty. It also sounds like you need to move away from social media. You got your advice from plenty of ladies here, but not what you wanted to hear. You are making such a big deal out of nothing. You think you have problems? Lol, I could write a book on the problems I have with my SIL. You sound narcissistic and selfish and you are looking for validation and not finding it. What you need is a check up from the neck up.

    Here's what I got from this post: op is spoiled and won't bother to stand up for herself. Her FH is too weak to stand up for her or himself to his family.

    Both of these things are issues that can, over time, destroy a relationship. You see how it is, you can't make him change. If he does, it will likely create resentment. So decide now if you want to live the rest of your life that way, and live with the choice.

    Simple.

    Seriously, you're upset over some damn selfies. It's really surprising that you're older than I am.

    @Lynn, I'm surprised she's old enough to use the Internet without parental consent.

    Also a great point, EleanorRigby. I couldn't even read most of the thread (not for lack of trying!).

    @Eleanor you dropped some jewels. I definitely shared part of your post on my fb. I put it as anonymous. I believe some people need to hear this, including myself. Thank you for that!

    @CrystalQueen2B, you don't have to share it as anonymous. I stand by what I said, irl and here.

    If your engagement is truly on the rocks because of this, maybe you shouldn't be getting married.

    But you post condescendingly. Grammar, my mom always said "if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all." And no, I don't get shit on, but whatevs. I thought you were "done with this."

    Eta: I'm not the one coming onto an Internet forum claiming that some petty shit is putting my engagement on the rocks and asking for advice, which you got.

    It's ok, I know, we're all just ignorant.
