Probably my most extreme story was a girlfriend whose father pointed a rifle at me after he saw me walking her home from a date. Based on the look in his eyes he actually would have done it. I was 17 and planned to marry her after high school after that incident just so she could get out of their house (not the best of best-laid plans but I was 17 and scared for her). But then it turned out she was cheating and that was that. So I didn't just dodge one, but literally MULTIPLE bullets!

Both of my parents were severely depressed with my mom being super anxious and paranoid and my dad being aggressive and angry all the time. They both drank a lot and often left me with my older brother or other family so they could get wasted. 23 years and 2 kids later they're finally getting divorced soon, seeing new people and trying to turning their lives around.

My husband and I have kept our distance ever since and we celebrate 20 years this year. On the flip side, he knew every sordid detail of my batcrap crazy family. By the time we met, I had already fled my abusive bio family and we worked very hard to build a strong, mentally stable, educated family.

Was dating a gal for a few months, everything seemed to be going well, we were joking about how elaborate our 'someday' wedding was going to be. I took some time off to travel to meet her family. OK, I was little sketched out to see her ancestral home was a broken down trailer in a run down trailer park, but I tried to keep an open mind. Met her family; friendly folks, made me feel welcome right away. Great dinner! After dinner, the liquor came out, and that's when I REALLY met her family. Lots of messed opinions about people of color, all manner of conspiracy theories, everything ever made by humanity that is older than 200 years was "Aliens" and if a person uses logic and reason it's because they are afraid to fight you 'for real'. What floored me, and led to me breaking up with her was all the folks asking her "Why didn't you bring your Husband? He's been asking about you. The kids miss you, too." They all seemed cool with me banging their married sister..."you would like her husband, he smokes pot too!" I thought I was dating a 22 year old single lady, turns out I was dating a 27 year old married mom of two. Fun times; I drove back to Seattle alone.

Weve really gotten close over the years and i love them as i do my own parents.

He treated me differently when we visited his family. His dad passed away so it was just his mom and 3 sisters. When i came over with him for dinner they all targeted me. I mean all of them. Including my bf. They started out being catty so i just brushed it off as bitches being bitches. It was just teasing and poking a bit of fun at me to begin with which was fine because i can handle a joke and i assumed they were hazing/testing me as the new girl in the family. It slowly got worse. They started teasing my fashion (im goth), then my makeup, then hair, then weight, then voice, and every little thing about me they kept picking at. Including my bf! He knew what i was sensitive about and targeted those things to tease me over. I just kept a smile and laughed everything off since I am very non confrontational. When we left my bf stopped teasing and told me "they dont like you. They wanted to make you cry but you didnt and now they hate you. All you had to do was fucking cry. I figured with your depression it wouldve been easy" He dropped me off at my place that night and i ghosted him. Best part about ghosting assholes is the replies "cant we just fuck one more time?" Nope, no we can not. "Fine. You wont find anyone else like me" thats kinda the point dumbass. If i wanted someone like you i would've stayed with you because youre like you.

Trying to keep it short: was over 5 years with my bf, we were engaged for more than 2 years. Communication was always a little difficult because he was so extremely sensitive and afraid of any conflict, we never had a fight in these 5 years because he never talked about any issues. He was raised by a single mother, a loving woman but really sensitive herself, she couldn't cope with the slightest critisism without being extremely hurt. At the end his extreme seek for shallow harmony destroyed our relationship. I knew it was hopeless when he, a 45 year old man, couldn't even tell his mom, that a plant which she gifted us died, after she insisted that the plant MUST be placed outside. Eventhough we knew this wasn't a good idea but my ex didn't want to disagree with his mom and tell her she was wrong. Obviously the plant died, but he lied to her saying it was fine. We even went to several gardeners trying to find a similar looking plant 🙄 for him it wasn't even an option to tell his mom the truth which could upset her. This was one of the reasons I knew I would not want to spend my life with him. Of course there were several reasons, but this one was linked to his mother

There was even talk of a ring lol My sister is a commitment phobe so this left her a nervous wreck. His grandfather actually went into the shop she works at to check her out. My sister was furious so she called him and ‘broke it off’ even though she never agreed to date him. Turns out his previous girlfriend found him too clingy and wanted to break up with him so he proposed, in front of his family, who were filming!

Champ Too that’s good for you! I hope you’re doing well!

Always meet the family when you things get serious. It can help you see the flaws you overlook thanks to rose tinted glasses of love and denial.

My mother-in-law is a terrible person too, but my partner agrees with me and has had to deal with it longer than I have (yknow, his entire life), so it's okay. Can't wait to move in together and both get a break from her. He's already cut contact with most of his other family members. Basically, a crappy in-law family isn't a problem as long as your partner acknowledges what the problems are and you live far enough away that you won't have to deal with them all the time. That being said, my sister-in-law is smart and sweet. She's a good egg!

Well said!

I wasn't going to marry him, but I did later find out he intended to propose to me once he was no longer, well, 14-15 (though we were pretty serious considering it was the first relationship for each of us; we grew up in a pretty fundamentalist sect of Christianity), but anyway, his mom was one of the overly attached types. He was the oldest kid and her favorite--looking like a younger clone of his dad probably had something to do with it. She worshiped the ground he walked on, and even though she was (over-the-top) super nice to me at first--seeing me more as a "pretty, smart, older girl" trophy for her son--she started getting nitpicky after a few months. Since we all went to church together, she and my mom were friends. Anyone who's seen any of my comments about my mother will immediately understand that this was a mistake. My mom was still oblivious to/untreated for her mental illnesses, she was overly controlling and downright abusive toward me, and yet my boyfriend's mom made my mom's level of micromanaging and narcissism seem *sane* by comparison. They started arguing (my mom taking up for me when his mom nitpicked; also a side issue of his kid sister having a crush on my little brother that my brother spurned in his socially awkward fashion). So in the end, they had an explosive phone argument while my first boyfriend and I were on a lunch date (I could drive). In the middle of eating, I get a text from my mom telling me to drop bf off and come home. So, thoroughly confused, I drive him the 45-minute trip home, then the trip back to my house. Mom rants at me for hours about what his mom said/did (to be fair, Mom was mostly in the right for once). As in, we end up staying up until sunrise the next morning because she wants to keep ranting about his mom, about my boyfriend (who by this point, I realized I didn't even like; I'd just been pressured by the church into dating him), about how I should break up with him. Never mind that we were supposed to go to a concert together in 4 days. In the end, I did break up with him, and I was better off for it, because *man*, did our weird church and his fawning mother give him an ego. Also, the fact that his mom made my mom look reasonable was the reddest flag possible. (And this is the story of how I dragged my dad to a Taylor Swift concert with only a few days' advance warning, and he ended up falling in love with her 3rd album and listening to it on plane rides to this day.) ...Actually, I know I've been talking shit, but I do want to mention--my ex wasn't the worst. Even if he was annoying and his family was weird, he was a well-intentioned person who wanted to do good. He was the first person to welcome me when we first moved to that church, and he was a good friend to me for several years after I broke up with him via text like a shitty teenager. I add this because he died suddenly a couple months back, before he could even turn 24, and it sucks even if I wasn't super fond of him or most of his family. It was a stupid, senseless accident, and sometimes I'm still in shock. I figure he could've broken away from his upbringing the way I did, if he'd had more time. In this situation, I blame our parents far more than I blame an awkward kid in his first-ever relationship. RIP, dude

Yeah. The problem was I LOVED his family but didn't love him. I met his family fairly early on probably within a month of us dating and I absolutely adored them! Especially his mother she was such an intelligent and kind person and treated me like one of her own kids. I really loved them and loved my MIL more than my own mother (my mother is a crazy drug addict I cut contact with when I moved out at 17). I lived with his mom and him for several years because his mother had a bad back and ended up having back surgery so I took care of her and became very very close with her. But he was a deadbeat who couldn't hold a job just wanted to smoke weed and play video games all day. I stayed with him for YEARS because if I dumped him I would lose his family too. Me and his mom helped him get his GED, we helped him get into the military, which he always claimed was a dream of his, but he faked appendicitis to get out of boot camp and I couldn't handle it anymore and I left him. I still think about and miss his family to this day. I am now married to someone else and I absolutely adore his family too! Especially his grandparents I'm very close with them and help them clean their house ect. I adore them truly and I'm very lucky to have always had such wonderful in-laws that I truly love. I talk to his grandma all the time, more than he does xD I seem to have had the opposite problem of everyone else here.

After I meet his parents....I RAN AS FAST AS I COULD.

Even if I had met my....disagreeable....MIL before I got married, I'd still have married my spouse. She's not really in the picture and after the one time I met her, I understood why.

I have an insane mother who will not be in the picture either. My stepmom is mean too, but slightly less destructive.

Was dating a guy who was a few years younger than me, (I was 30, he was 26), his mom didn't like it, didn't think I came from a good family....etc. What really made me run for the hills was when I was at their place waiting on him in his room to get ready for a night out. He took off his shirt and like a good girlfriend I greedily took in an eyeful, then I noticed his mom standing beside me was doing the same. yeah....no.

I love my family, I’m also the black sheep of the family and as such I have no problem putting my foot down and standing my ground, I had no problem being the peacekeeper and drawing lines. If I bring someone home to meet them, I’ll be watching how my family treats that person like a hawk, I’ll also be watching if that person actually wants to be part of my family.

You are the black sheep usually means your family doesn’t like or treat you well. You both have no problem putting your foot s down and standing your ground BUT you are also the peacekeeper? Those aren’t generally the same thing. . . And you are worried that the family that treats you poorly (as the black sheep) will not like your SO? Why? They don’t like you, so why would you value their opinion so much?

Although I broke up with my ex-fiance for a different reason- his family was crazy. My ex grew up with 3 older sisters and 2 younger brothers in the ghetto (Compton). Eldest sister- crazy vegetarian hypocrite homophobe; 2nd eldest sister- vegan in polyamorous relationship with several husbands and wifes with a total of 7 or 8 bio children who are nomads/bums living off of people's couches or 1 room hotels with all their children (who are supposedly homeschooled via youbtube); 3rd eldest sister-homophobe who molested my ex when they were kids/ drug addict with husband- smart 3 children but eldest daughter is also a drug addict- could not afford food and freeloads/live with ex's mom; younger brother (my age & my ex-best friend from highschool/how I met my ex-fiance)- egomaniac, womanizer, drug addict; youngest brother WAS on parole/didnt finish high school- married an immigrant woman 20 years his senior with 3 kids as old as him- moved to a different state to support them but has been cheating on her. That's just the tip of the iceberg. They grew up in strict a strict Christian household. All their names were biblical. Their father was 85 when he died- my ex was 5. Their father was a preacher with 4 previous wives and 20+ children. All the siblings were homophobic and conspiracy theorists and believe you can change your sexuality whenever you wanted. It was a whole shit show. I stayed for 11 years (engaged for 1) with my ex obviously not because of family and didn't leave because of family. My ex had his own story. I'm literally going to write a book about this crazy shit lol

Dad probably was on anti psychotics for bipolar and wouldn’t take his meds that’s why they probably put it in his coffee 🤣🤣

My husband's stepfather called me fat, lazy woman and what was he doing with me in the house. I was not fat and I was in my last year of college with 2 jobs. I heard him and my MIL was going sheehish....she can hear you.🤣.

My wife and I married without really knowing each other's family. Living as a married couple far from both sides we were able to see the issues they had.

29:07 as a Croat I can confirm, our food is delicious

People ask your self do you want them dipping their toes into your gene pool

I should have taken the hint. First time we had dinner they burst into song, like a bad musical,mostly Gilbert and Sullivan.

When you meet their family and they quietly tell you NOT to marry as once the "I do" are said it will NOT be a marriage it would be a boxing match.... LISTEN TO THEM.... (not talking one member of their family but 95% of their family...) And after you "Fall down the stairs" at your ground level home do not bitch to their family "Why didn't you warn me?" they warned you.....

My college professor told us that when he finally met his fiancee's family he backed out because she has 3 brothers with really small heads, i am not sure if it's microcephaly and he said they screeched like monkeys as they are non-verbal.

Chemo and radiation didn't take all of my taste away, but I had a lot of stomach issues due to my lymphoma being located in the abdomen. It's been a year or so and I still haven't tasted a morsel of sweet corn on the cob because of my stomach problems.

My gf families have the same unrestricted mouth she has so whenever they speak you’d hear a lot colorful words followed their hilarious attempts to stop themselves from saying those words. Something my gf definitely inherited. The biggest fight I saw that day, was when a pair of twin toddlers was fighting their 4 years older brother over a toy car. The older brother saw something better and left the two twin to fight it off among themselves while their parents who would be my brother and sister in laws waited to console the loser. It was glorious.

Going to church doesn't make you a good person, anymore than sitting in the garage makes you a car.

My ex who i loved to death had a mom who was a hoarder. Never cleaned. The rooms were disgusting. So i never stayed there while visiting. He never knew his real dad and she had kids with other men. He always made excuses and made me feel like shit all the time while he was living in filth. I noped out of that quick

My former fiancé Ralph has the worst family...I visited them at their family compound, and they celebrate and extremely racist, anti cat holiday known as “The Festival of St. Squeaky”. They passed around “cat ears” to wear, excluding me because I “don’t need cat ears to look evil”. They dimmed the lights, ignited torches, played the piano, and sang: 🎹🎶🎵 “Look at me, I’m a dumb cat king! I’m an ugly mean fat thing! Innocent mice, shall feel my wrath! I’m a stinky cat, who never takes a bath! I’m positively EVIL, I’m nasty and I’m smelly! So I will take this sword and stab thee in the belly! Ooh! Right in the ‘catgut’!” I called Ralph and his horrid family out on their behavior, packed my things, and left. I moved out of Ralph’s place immediately afterwards and broke up with him. My cousin Carolyn was right about him and his family.

Wish I had taken the hint when I first met my in-laws. I had always heard that to see how your husband will treat you, see how he treats his Mom. He worshiped his Mom, so I thought it was good. Turns out she taught him that she is the ONLY female that is worth anything. Literally, if she would say one nice thing about another female, she would follow it with at least two negatives. "So and so is so nice, too bad she isn't very pretty and she obviously isn't very bright." He treats me like S--t and so did his Mom and Dad.

Oh god... this video just made me realize how much I hope that my mother doesn’t pull off some crazy shenanigan that could damage my gf and/or my relationship... She has been abusive towards me since my parents had divorced and I had to live with her until I moved out for university. I’m still in constant contact with her but because of the distance she cannot hurt me that much anymore

I never understood why 'momma's boys' were such bad news. Because momma's boys' mommas, hate EVERY woman who comes into their 'precious baby's' life, and we are considered 'competition' for his attention. Incestuous?? For sure on a mental / emotional level. He was so effed up, he thought that normal things were 'outrageous and crazy' - like, wanting him to not leave sh**stains on the toilet, expecting him to get his own towel for the shower, refusing to do a flippin' cartwheel every time he emptied he kitchen wastebasket (so he refused to take it out for over a year before I finally left - and he always refused to empty bedroom and bathroom wastebaskets). He expected hot meals every day for lunch - I was raised that lunch is a sandwich, chips and a piece of fruit, not hot 3-course meals. He would come home at all hours, expecting there to be hot food waiting for him, no matter what time he came in, even if he never gave me any indication that he would be home late / early by HOURS (oh yea, we had kids, and he actually expected the kids to eat whenever he decided to mosey his arse into the house). His mother left me a very accusatory Bible passage in a book prior to us getting married, basically calling me a 'whore.' After 5 years of marriage, his mother called me up and told me (1) that I ruined Christmas because I didn't sit and talk with her and (2) that I should apologize to God for marrying her son. She is an evil abusive b - who went to church several times a week, and used the Bible, not to be convicted in her spirit to improve herself, but to use to stand in self-righteous judgment of others. After that call, I thought to myself, "Well, I guess she won't miss me." I hadn't realized that she hated me the entire time - call me naive. She completely turned him against me. Fairly soon after that, I realized, "Holy crap. He (my husband) see me as an adversary, not as a partner." Then, all of his bizarre behavior finally made sense. The marriage didn't last long after that.

Ex's mother threatened to off herself if we didn't break up, she was difficult for the entirety of the relationship. Complained about me using her son when he was abusing me emotionally, mentally, financially, and isolating me from my own family. We went on a break for a week and he took the keys and locked me in the house while he stayed with his friend, until he was told by other people that wasn't okay. He would look me in the eyes and lie to me constantly. Edit: when I finally said I'd had enough he said he was just about to propose. I'm so glad I got out.

This makes me feel so lucky that my boyfriends family are such kind and normal people, as are my family. 😂

My mom and his mom are single moms and pretty balanced. Also I think his mom had a hard time with me but got over herself because at the end of the day her son is happy and quite honestly the freedom and responsibility he’s learned because of me as important. He knows I’m not going to be someone else’s mother unless it was someone I declared my child. My mother is super involved but not to some unhealthy problem. She taught me how to be independent.

I ended up marrying this person: We were in a long distance relationship. We were both in our late teens when we started talking. I knew something was off right away but couldn't put my finger on it. I broke up with her a few days after we got together. With it being a long distance relationship, I just didn't see it going anywhere. I wanted something a bit more serious at the time. We some how managed to get back together. I met her one time later that summer. On my last day visiting her mom's family took us to a fair. We were on a ride and I guess I said something to upset her because she gave the silent treatment the entire time we were on the ride. That should have been my first indication but being a dummy in my early 20s I put up with it. Long story short: I move in with her and it was a very mentally and emotionally abusive relationship. She was always upset with me over little things. She wouldn't support me when I was trying to lose weight. I still lost 35lbs without her support anyway. She would expect me to do all the chores around the house even though I worked 58 hours a week most of the time. She would talk badly about me to my friends, her friends and her family. Saying how dirty, selfish and lazy I am. She didn't like my family. She didn't like my friends back home. This creature brought out the absolute worst in me. There is more to this story but, I could go on forever. Needless to say, I have been happily divorced for a little over a year at the time I am writing this. My advice? Always trust your gut feeling. If your gut is telling you something is bad, it probably is.

Me starting to watch this: I hope my partner's family is not crazy. Me a few minutes later: maybe my family is crazy... Pro-tip: individuality is the key to any successful relationship. A family with boundaries emotional or otherwise and respect is a must.

My current boyfriend's family is very secrative, and I've started to learn why...mom is very 'no one is good enough for my son' and his sister is a class a b*tch, his dad has schizophrenia, and step dad is super controlling.

I despise anyone who pretends to have cancer cancer is so hard and can change your life I had cancer and it caused me to go blind it also caused a brain bleed which meant I had to learn how to do most of everything again

I met my husband’s family pretty early on in our relationship. In fact I didn’t want us to even consider dating officially if I hadn’t met his family first in case they are whack 😂 my own family is whack but I’ve cut off from them

That last story: uhhhhhh yes, adult protective services?

I remember my dad telling me about a very pretty girl he dated for awhile, but then he met her mother. He could tell that the mother had looked like the daughter when she was young and knew he couldn't bear to sit across from a face like her mother's when he was older, so he broke up with her.

A slightly different take: I'd been with this guy for around 2 years, and it was important to him that we get married. I don't and didn't care about marriage, and I couldn't see it making any difference, so... okay, whatever. From the way he'd desribed his family, they were wealthy aristocrats with powerful connecions. Then I met them. Stay at home mum, engineer father, recovering-drug-addict younger brother, nice-but-desperately-boring salesman older brother, sex-and-party-obsessed sister. Good, decent, pleasant people, but nothing like the grand image he'd built up. And they didn't care about our marital status either. I realised he didn't want to marry me - just to be "respectably" married in his own snobby fantasy life.

I have noticed that ANYONE who declares themselves 'a good Christian' is absolutely to be avoided.

Stories like this make me glad my BF's family loves me. They are all wonderful people. If anything I'm starting to like them a little more than mine. My mom's family can be pretty crass. And my dad's family is ... well ... complicated.

I loved the guy but I couldn’t imagine spending my life around his horrible drunken mother. She was horrible to me, my kids and my boyfriend (her own son). He was sad but understood. He moved across the country TWICE trying to get away from her but she just followed and moved in despite his protests. He was too kind for his own good.

Don't think it's a good idea watching this before introducing my boyfriend to my family today😂

“Fiankay” 😂😂 made me giggle

The first one:My aunt lied about having cancer. The lie might've been less obvious if my dad(her brother) wasn't a healthcare worker lol.

What is wrong with. People whose parents show the bad behavior? intervene, disown them. Really. Some people refuse because of the inheritance. Is it worth it? If he/ she thinks it is worth it, nope out. You are worth more that that. Own your self-worth.

"I laugh (When she insults me) and that REALLY PISSES HER OFF" THIS IS EPIC

"Some women can be obsessive about others' weddings." You met my grandmother then. She started planning my wedding when I was about 5, restrained only by my grandfather and uncles. On the day of my 15th birthday she told me she was married at 17 and had my uncle at 18 as though that was some sort of shining achievement. I was gobsmacked with horror and my mouth just hung open as she happily told me the psychic said I would be getting married very soon and that she couldn't decide between X and Y styles of wedding dress for me. I remained unmarried despite her heavy-handed hints. Edited: typo.

Imagine losing your partner because of their family, that sucks...

My ex's dad was kinda cool but his mom was a fricking nightmare. Made the biggest deal out of things. Once, I was talking to her on the phone, and I said casually, "Oh, we'll have to get together soon. My ex and I live in different states. He left my house after I made that comment to his mom. I didn't think anything of it. . Anyway, when he came back, he told me his mom thought that "soon" meant he was bringing me home to meet her when he left my place. My brain was thinking, "What just happened?" She was far from the only reason I didn't marry him, but the fact that I got out of her being my MIL was a hell of a bonus LOL

I had the opposite problem. He refused to tell his family about me because he was so ashamed of me & knew he'd be in big trouble for dating an "outsider" (they were a strange religious sect). The one time he needed me to work with his brother online for a project of his he made me believe it would be a fun game to hide my identity & use a fake name. Why did I not see any of this as a huge red flag at the time?

33:04 You could've recorded those things and helped her and yourself get restraining orders and had the cops help you leave

Girl please, if your man's family acts as a toxic family and thought it's normal, please just avoid the man. You don't know if your man could make your future family a mess or end up just like his family.

In regards to that last story, I had a friend (male Hispanic) who started dating a Jewish American girl from west LA. They were obviously in love and he treated her very good. He was over the moon with her. Her mother was very overbearing and immediately disliked my friend simply because he was a catholic Hispanic man. The mother pressured the Gf to break up with him. Eventually he proposed to her and she accepted. The mother dropped the hammer on her after that and demanded the engagement be broken off. Sadly, the GF gave in and broke up with him over text. He never saw her again. And to add insult to injury…..she mailed him back the engagement ring. To say he was lesser of a man after that would be a gross understatement. My poor friend was never the same after that. He became a hollow man that buried his sorrows in alcohol, gained and immense amount of weight and never attempted to be in another relationship ever again. He’s in his late 40’s now and still parties like he’s in his twenties. My poor friend. He’s a sweet gentle and very charming man with a sense of humor. She crushed him and with the least amount of dignity left for him.

My ex became really possesive and abusive and was angry when it took longer for me to reply because I was spending time with some family members visiting from abroad. That's when I'm done with him.

So not fiancee, but girlfriend. Started dating this wonderful woman and had been for a few months. Taking it slow....enjoying ourselves. No pressure sort of situation. Eventually I decide I want to meet her folks....take the initiative, and we had to grab something from their house anyway. First was the sister and her husband....great people. Her kids and her ex-husband who also lived in the house? Not so much......the amount of screaming and yelling and creepy staring was ungodly Her father wun't much better. He was discussing his gun collection (Canadian so...) and casually mentioned he could shoot me down at 500 yds with his AR15. OH...OKAY. COOL. then her MIL showed me her extending nightstick. The relationship ended for a lot of other reasons but.....yeah this dodn't help

The family test is very important. If they dont immediately stick up for you against them, you will always be miserable while with them

So I'm still with her, and I very much intend to propose very soon, but her family is just absolutely the worst. Abusive father, apathetic (and cheating) mother, her sister, who is only a year older, pressured her into doing things she was insanely uncomfortable with under the guise that their father would be insanely upset if she didn't follow instructions, and a brother who doesn't understand the concept of boundaries. As soon as I met them, with no real reason, the mother practically flirted with me and the father threatened to break my jaw. I step into their house and lo and behold, it's caked in dog doodoo and there's not a spot in the house that isn't filthy. My girlfriend did her best to clean, but the apathy of the rest of her family far outweighed her otherwise superior ability of cleaning. (seriously she is amazing when it comes to cleaning, it's always blown my mind.) Her sister and I didn't talk for a year because she just didn't want to talk to me, and that's fine, it just kind of amazed me when she decided to hire me at the place she managed and then opened up to me. Her brother is still a piece of work tho

I was walking up the stairs with a ring to propose...my ex saw me an called me her ex's name...so I asked straight out if she would cheat when I left for work...she couldn't say a word,so that was that. I left that night and found out she cheated on her husband(she found a sucker to get to marry)with her boss...then had a child with her boss,and is single again.

It could be that they were very overweight and acknowledged it was a problem. There's an insane amount of 'body positivity' bs floating around for women right now that's encouraging them to just let their bodies fall apart rather than keep a healthy weight. No matter how much someone tries to pretend weight's an aesthetic non-issue, it's an essential part of your life that we all should be regulating to minimize health and mobility problems.

Why is it always the mother in laws? I am having the same issues and don't know what to do. I'm 25 and I've been in love with this guy for over 5 years now. We were dating until last November. For now we are just friends but we still have feelings for each other. 5 years back his mom caught him talking on the phone with me very late at night. They're a very religious family. Not that I'm not. I am religious too. But I don't mind talking to someone late at night. But then she got very upset. And to add to it, he told his mom what private conversations we spoke about like how I was disappointed with the way they treat him and also me. Since then she thinks I've been trying to instigate him against his family. Which isn't true. And recently when she found out we have been dating, she told him to cut off contact with me completely and that she would keep checking his phone. I am 25 and he is 28. Which 28 year old male shows his mom his phone? Are these red flags?

I was once madly in love with a Latin woman. And when she brought me over to have dinner at her parents house, her father said hurtful things about me in Spanish, what he didn't know was that I was able to understand him and said nothing. I'm white by the way. But then about halfway through the meal, I could feel the tension and the heat of hateful stares around the table, like they were just waiting for me to say something offensive so that they could have an excuse to pounce on me. And they did, for an unrelated or for no reason. Her father, uncle, and brother gave me a concussion, four cracked ribs, and a broken jaw. I can still hear her voice screaming "STOP IT! You're going to kill him!" before my eardrums were ringing. I was in a coma for about a week. And in the hospital for another week or two before being discharged. I did try pressing charges, but nothing came of it. I guess some people can be so prejudicial that they are willing to go to the extremes to get their point across. I don't resent Latin women. I don't even blame her for what her family did to me. All I did was treat their daughter right and instead of compassion they gave me hatred. Needless to say, I don't go to family gatherings anymore. Every girl that I meet, can't understand why I refuse to go with her to meet her family and our relationship doesn't last very long after that.

when my dad split from my mom (never married but had me and i was 5 at the time) his whole family got so dang pissed at him and were like no we pick her mom you done effed up. To this day when my dad blows off family stuff for his wifes family they're just like yep that figures.

I'm pretty damn sure that last one should have called Adult Protective Services and/or alerted the College. Mentally/Emotionally abusing the mentally ill and/or disabled isn't just shitty its a crime. What can be done varies depending on where you live but if you start looking you should be able to find help.

Ya it can go either way. I respect the hell out of his mother and she's one of the most amazing people I know but his grandma is something else 🤷 I already knew she was a piece of work when we were on friendly terms because I knew how she had treated my partner's mother before being kicked from her life so I knew not to trust her. Once she started to pull some crap on me I shut down all forms of communication with her as well. Just do it once and then there's no need to have a shitshow. 😊💚 It's just important that the person you're with has their priorities straight. I'll probably have to meet his grandma at some point again due to family gatherings and he'll have my back in case she tries something funny.

Here’s a good way to stop a overbearing mom. Look her in the eye and say very loudly so everyone can hear: “Why do you want to marry your son? That’s so gross.” And just enjoy the show

Not me, my mom marrying my dad. I’ve decided to cut out my dad’s side simply because of his mom (my grandma). First off, we’re my grandfather’s second family and my grandma was his much younger side chick. My grandfather, ironically, is the only sane person in that family. They live off of fried chicken and watching football to the point where my grandfather is 100x healthier than his great-grandchildren (he’s in his 90s after four strokes and still exercises). My aunt has her mom’s jealousy issues. When she discovered my mom had twins (me), she apparently got so angry that she had more kids (9 kids total after a while). She never had twins, and I didn’t see her for 13 years until recently. My uncle’s children are devils, and constantly belittles him for nothing. My grandmother is exactly who you’d think to be. She hated my mom over little things (from dying her hair to simply existing) she’s judgemental af and I witnessed her hate on a terminally ill patient her daughters had because he was “hard to take care of”, two-faced and would hate on her children for anything, and never ever talks to my dad about important stuff simply because he’s an atheist (they’re highly catholic) and we moved. We found out my grandfather went to the hospital and nearly died of the flu AFTER HE WAS DISCHARGED! We also found out that he had a stroke two weeks before we visited…when we visited. I’m never gonna see them again but I’ll definitely respect my grandfather for saving lives, his crazy past, and being such a cool person in general (he’s stopped cars from running him over with his bare hands). I’ll definitely attend his funeral, but after that, I won’t appreciate being a Jennings anymore. To be honest, my moms side has problems as well, but my aunt and uncle are the sweetest darlings that I’m glad never took on their parent’s issues.

I was seeing a guy & talking about marriage & then I went to meet his sister who wore a ninja suit & looked at me like trash since I had a summer dress on & apparently wasn't Muslim enough. Dude it's 32⁰C, aren't u hot! Broke up with him & thank god cos met my best friend & the best husband. 8 year anniversary today.
