To be fair, it seems like it was a frog in a pot situation. Dad was always a bit of a dick, but Mom kept him in check. Then once Mom was gone, he just ramped up. OP tolerated it, but eventually got to his breaking point. Add in that Dad was like that towards all the son in-laws, it was "just how he is" and Wife likely didn't understand how rough it was, especially since OP was treated the best of the lot, even though they were much more involved. It was only once the new BF came around and he wasn't willing to put up with Dad that it became apparent how much of an issue Dad was to her

The ex's former boyfriend, despite his flaws, showed the perfect example of how one should have self-respect: toxic FIL disrespected him once, he removed the FIL from his life. Honestly, OP is being a total doormat here. The ex disrespected him once, she'll do it again once she's comfortable enough. Bottom line: NEVER ACCEPT DISRESPECT.

Yeah you work and do everything for the family while being treated like shit disrespected you constantly. Your wife never treated you with respect you're not her husband you were her her servant.

I definitely wouldn't ever get back together if I was in that situation. Didn't care enough about him when they were together, and only started reflecting on it when she realized how much better he was versus others. She can use that reflection to better herself for her next relationship, but it wouldn't be with me at that point as the ship sailed already.

Ай бұрын

I think she realized it was wrong bc the ex had PRIDE, SELF-RESPECT AND DIGNITY, so he stood up for himself. OP's ex treated badly because he allowed others to walk all over him.

Op needs to leave her behind and accept it's over. Their whole talk was about her not caring about op or his feelings at all, shifting the blame on op and everyone else around her. And help treat op like fil doormat like she is too him. Pretty much showed when she only came back to op after her dad dropped dead. she knows damn well it's her and fil fault. Fill only cared about himself and op respect he felt entitled to wich he never earned. The ex is her father's doormat that allowed her partner be verbally abused by him and didn't care. All she wants is to blame op and gaslight him to avoid to do any reflection to avoid taking accountability/responsibility for her actions. Op deserves so much better and needs to loose the doormat mentality.

OP needs to lighten up and realize that when you air your laundry that you're going to get positive and negative responses. FL sounds like a complete ass for sure but the family dynamic reminds me of my own. When my grandma passed away it became harder for us to gather, she was the life blood of every operation, and her cooking was amazing.

This is a classic example of a man with no self love and respect. Her family and her treated him like 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 and he wants to get back with her because he needs her to be happy, talking about codependency. The ex bf had self respect and ended his relationship because of this, she clearly is settling for him.

Op is desperate and settling.

Well, if it was the family issues with the in-laws and not from cheating, then it should be up to him how they could still have potential. (Personally, they both should have just left her family alone till they treated him with respect.) ... Hopefully he was able to open to asking her questions of her lovelife after the divorce since he didn't really date much would tell him more about her time away from him and see if her family still caused problems.

You can boil this down to "a people pleaser who was trying to let his wife know the bad things but she didn't want to see it" because that father-in-law was awful and he was trying to let her know how bad that was she was an awful lover he was trying to let her know so many awful comments and she was just A-Okay with it because she didn't want to be confronted with the idea of it, And man the fact that she only realized how bad she was and her father was because of another boyfriend is always going to be something in their relationship.

Respect is earned that you work for. Not a right that you thinks you're entitled too. A ahole like him doesn't deserve respect especially after everything op did for him and the lengths he went to be nice and respectful to.

That’s what I always say. I come from a culture of respect to elders even if they’re bad people and I have never accepted it which has gotten me in trouble many times. My grand father is an awful person and like that man thinks he is right all the time. Even when he does I would never feel real respect for him because of the shitty person he is being his whole life I just don’t disrespect him because of my parents but I don’t even consider him family just because I know all the things he has done to his children one of which is my parent.

I do believe people can change, but OP needs to go forward with this as a -very- slow pace, and even then I wouldn't marry again without something like a prenup and keeping finances separate just to protect myself since it has fallen apart once. It's not saying it will for certain go back to the way it used to, but it is a increased possibility to have her bail out since it's already happened once. Which as well adds that this dynamic is at an increased risk of divorce because you've already had the dynamic of parting introduced to it, during a future possible bad argument its much more likely to crumble. It's possible to work out, even probable, but it is a future completely filled with needs for communication and a ton of work on both sides and even then it may unfortunately, not work.

OP is a simp. Getting back with his Ex is a mistake.

The FIL was abusive and toxic. Saying "but he was a good father and husband" doesn't negate the fact that he treats others like shit. Your wife and the eldest SIL admitted it. But then only your eldest SIL defended you consistently. Your ex owes you an apology and to tell the family they treated their husband's and you unfairly. Heck, address it in a fun way. Invite the spouses over for a suprise BBQ for the rest of the family.

Op should have had a consent fucking with his ex on the kitchen table in front of fil. If he wanted a reason to hate op so much that would've been a good reason. 🤷 But that's just my opinion

I personally think he's making a mistake. She only came to the realisation of what she had when she saw what bad actually was, she showed no respect to him and I personally think he's giving her too much room. Her not standing up to her fathers behaviour is the reason he never changed, she allowed it. He might've been a great dad and had a rough upbringing but that does not excuse anything. It's a choice he will make and hopefully it does work out for them, but I would never be able to trust her ever again for making me feel like that and putting me in that situation as she can always do it again.

I can't get any sympathy with FIL, anyone can have a rough childhood (Or whenever period you're interested) but it doesn't excuse to be an a-hole and threat anyone like shit.

Why is he still defending her

Out of all the Reddit stories I've seen on yt, this one is one of the only ones that addresses the comments like this... and people continue to do/say what he requested not to do lol

I hope OP leaves her. He deserves so much better

Remember everyone, respect is earned not given, no matter who they are or the circumstances.

I feel bad for the OP here, i hooe things get better for him

I think it could be that he is jealous of the relationship between op and the Mil. Op says he doesnt think he could be jealous but some people really get jealous by that. My own father has been jealous from time to time of his own kids because his wife (our mother) spends so much time with us. My parents are both good people and love their children to bits but my father loves my mother so much and wants her for himself most of the time. He gets really frustrated if my mother is out all day which to be fair is quite often sometimes all week. My father stopped working after he made a fortune and bought lots of poroerties to rent out and my mother is still working because she wants to and she takes care of her inlaws and parents a lot. My father does that too but my mother really spends a lot of time there and visits all her three children at least once a week and now especially her grandchild gets a lot of her attention. She loves my dad and isnt staying away because she doesnt want to spend time with him. She does want to spend time with him but she is a very loving and caring person and loves so many people and wants to see them regularly. My father is a huge homebody. It makes sense that he wants more time from his wife. Some people are jealous of their own children because of that and in some cases its understandable. In Op's case it's probably not that reasonable from what we know.

that what they said

In our culture, there is an unwritten practice that the youngest daughter is destined to inherit the family house. This ofcourse comes with the obligation that that the youngest daughter must take care of the aging parents. She can only marry once both parents have passed. I asked my very old great granmother about this ( she was 90+ years old already back then). Her explanation was people ( or parents?) deserve only 1 death, and losing all your kids because of marriage is already equivalent of death, because they’ve akready completed their life’s work.

Op is delusional if he thinks fil liked him but didnt except him

She didn’t realize that the way her father treated her spouses was wrong until OP brought it up…

I don’t get people that are pushed around by their in-laws. I use a policy of terror with mine and they keep in their place if they want to have any contact with my kids. This started after a couple of serious disagreements with them, after which I made the food chain clear with them and told my wife that I expected her to be on my side without discussion. It has been working, as I am the only of their 4 son/daughter-in-law that they actually respect.

This man here in denial

Doesn't OP have his own family or is he a "discard your own for the inlaws" type?

No wonder the fil acted that way, the op is a pushover with no self respect to stand up for himself.

If they are happy, that's all that matters, but who is the next person she prioritize over him?

The ex-boyfriend and Op aren't that different they both voiced their concerns. What the ex-boyfriend did that was different was he took action. As they say, actions speak louder than words. It looks like he has problems standing up for himself with his ex-wife and father-in-law. It looks like he is a people pleaser which further helped his wife keep her head in the sand. Now, as bad as it seems, it looks like she has reflected and is remorseful. How? She went to therapy about her dad's death, and Op was the first to know about that. She apologised for how she acted in the past. As for how her eyes were opened It is a bit sad. The ex-boyfriend put his foot down and SHOWED he would not tolerate disrespect rather than tell the ex-wife and get blown off. He showed how big of a deal it was. I hope that is the reason and not that she saw it as a problem because couldn't take the ex-boyfriend being disrespected. If OP acted the same way earlier on I'm sure things would not have gotten so better and the marriage could have been saved. Or the marriage would have dissolved much quicker. Either way, it would bode well for him. In basic terms, this prolonged because OP can't communicate or stand up for himself. It doesn't justify what the ex-wife and father-in-law did though. Just like it isn't a person's fault if they get robbed showing off a diamond watch, but they shouldn't have been flaunting it in a run-down neighborhood.
