i can't believe FFIL said this....need hugs.

Original post by R&J0806

So I'm tracking all of the RSVPs. And I've got a system of doing it/relaying the results. But FFIL didn't like the way I was doing it and asked to have it done differently. I told him that the way i'm doing it is easist for me and this is how i'm going to do it. he said its just as easy to do it his way. i told him that we should have gone back to the original (stupid) plan which was that his RSVPs would go to him and mine would go to me. That was my FIL's stupid idea that i hated from the start. I never would have opted to split RSVPs but after all this crap, i've learned that every time i try to do something nice, to try to help, it bites me in the @ss. So Then he starts scolding me like i'm five - in front of his entire extended family - that I'm very disrespectful. I told him to stop scolding me because he's not my father. he made a scene. then i turned to FH and told him that I wanted to leave NOW. He asked for me to give him a few minutes to speak to his dad. Fine. He comes back and tells me to go talk with his father. We go outside and his father starts up with something completely unrelated - I dismiss what he says and just ask what else can i do for him. Here's the convo:

Him: Why are you acting like this?

Me: B/c you and FMIL have made me miserable (they already knew this) planning this wedding and I don't want to deal with it anymore.

Him: Did it ever occur to you that maybe you're just a miserable person in general?

Me: Yes, of course I'm miserable. My mom is dead and I want her at my wedding. I miss her. Yes, I am miserable.

Him: People die. DEAL WITH IT.

FH & I left and said our goodbyes to the extended family. He didn't acknowledge his dad for the rest of the night.

I'm SO SORRY that he was so insensative! Not fair to you at all.

Just out of curiosity - does he have any daughters? Did someone very close to him die when he was younger or around your age? It sounds to me like he is dealing with some very intense issues of his own and has no idea what to do with those feelings. It seems that he is angry that you get to show your emotions but he does not.

Remember, his nasty words and attitude have NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU!!!! It is all about him and his problems. He's anger is about HIM! It's not about you - keep repeating that to yourself. I know it doesn't take that pain away but maybe it will help if you think of him as an emotionally sick person rather than just a mean SON OF A B! (but he certainly is acting like one! What a jerky thing to do to you!)

I am so sorry about this. I know what you are going through because I don't have both of my parents. I know its hard, but try and not let it stress you out.. Your future in laws are not worth it.
I have nut jobs too, except for F.H. step mom, who I'm friends with. Good Luck and Be Strong.

No matter who a person is, no one deserves to talk to you like that, bride to be or not! Your FH was right to stand up for you and leave! We're here for you no matter what!!

You should be SOOO proud for even dealing with him and going on that walk with him! I'm so sorry that was said....I hope you can put it past you and enjoy your wedding. My condolences about your Mom.

Robyn I give you a tremendous amount of credit for taking the amount of cr@p your FILs have thrown out. Good for you for letting out what you feel and sticking up for yourself. Remember living well with your FH is the best revenge. And the next time your FILs get in your face just think about the fun you have been having with some of the RSVPs.

God forbid if he lost someone that close to him, I am sure it wouldn't be so easy for him to just get over it so insensitive

thanks girls, you always help me.
All I hear today is his words ringing in my ears though....I have no idea how long it will take before I'm willing to see him again.

This entire time, he really hasn't been so bad. Not great, but not horrible. it's always been my FMIL. But what he said to me last night is a million times worse than all of the things FMIL has said/done. But...she did apologise for being such an @sshole last night. At least I got that......

I am sorry that you are dealing with all of this during a time that should be very happy for you.
Just focus on the good things....you and your FH and the wedding. I know that is hard, but it will keep you sane!

What a dirt bag. Sorry no offense to your FH, but he sounds like one! You are better off not seeing him very often.

I truly can't believe what i just read...but I even though I don't know you I am proud that you stood up to him! Don't let someone like that get you down and you keep standing your ground! That is disrespectful in itself and karma will surely come around and bite him in the a$$!!! I'm sorry you had to hear that at all!
