In Laws Vent!!!!

I am so angry right now I don't know how I'm even going to function today! Yesterday we had a christening to go to and FMIL started to fight with FH about what he was wearing. She then proceeded to tell him she was embarassed of him and hoped they woudln't be sitting at the same table!!! She did this to him last week too before the engagement party we all went to and told him he looked raggedy and disgusting (which he DIDNT!!)
So at the party they weren't seated with us- instead to FH's joy with a bunch of people they didnt know. So she comes to say hi to me and laughs and says 'Oh I guess he's still mad huh?' he walks away and I just kiss her and say nothing.
So later that night we go back to him house and his brothers are there and his SIL and brother's girlfriend. They start talknig about the party's we have this year and he says something about how we want a jack & jill show b.c. honestly I dont want one and we figure a relaxing BBQ outside is best then b.c. he wants us to have one -so thats our compromise.
So his bros start b****ing about it saying they wont come and it's stupid - hello who asked you?
Then they say well dont think you're doing that for the bachelor party too and he says he doesnt want one and if anything we'll go out together. So they say no way its their choice not his and then one says dont worry he made reservations at CHuck e Cheese already!
So now FH feels like an *** and one bro asks him if he will come to his bachelor party (he's not evne engaged yet) and FH says its going to depend on our money situation if we have a mortgage, car payments etc b.c. most likely his bro will want to go to vegas.
So now tension is thick and I leave to go home to get a text like an hour later saying they're all fighting. TUrns out FH was sitting at the kitchen table doing homework and they come inside with a pizza and tellhim to move so they can eat. Now there's five chairs at that table and six at the one in the dining room. So FMIL tells him to going in the dining room, he tells her that makes no sense and for six people to go sit where there's six chairs. So his bros start yelling at him and making a scene in front of everyone telling him he's got an attitude and he doesnt call them, that he's cheap (hello we're saving for a house and a wedding!! plus we both work part time!) and he's an a***hole and bascially rip him a new one.
So he gets up and his one bro comes in and is like why did you ask me to be your best man, so FH is like I asked you said yes you could have said so if that's your problem. So they get into it again until they leave basically leaving FH ripped apart.
I am so angry right now!! I'm sorry this is so d*** long but I really needed to vent. Thank you to anyone who actually read this.
I have no idea how I'm going to function at work today.

awww i'm sor sorry you have to go through this. I know how it feels to be fighting with ure in laws. But don't worry it will all blow over. Just try not to think to much about it because it'll drive you crazy. When similar things happent o me, i usually dopn't throuw in my 2cents and not visit them for a week or two untill they get over whatever they were mad about. So keep ure head up and smile. if u need to talk we're here

I'm really sorry to hear that but, it sounds like there is a deeper issue going on with FH and his family and maybe they need to all sit down calmly and express what is really going on. As for the wedding ideas, I think you and FH should keep them to yourselves. Everyone is not going to agree with it and it reallly doesn't matter because at the end of the day it is about what makes the two of you happy after all it is YOUR wedding day

I am so sorry to hear that your FH is having such a hard time with his family. They should be more supportive at this time in his life. He is lucky to have you, who cares about him and supports him. Just be there for him and try to not bad mouth his family too much, because it only makes it worse for him! Good luck!

Thank you all - this is such an ongoing thing - I feel so bad for FH I don't know what to do anymore to make it better for him. They are so emotionally and verbally abusive and so controlling!!
But thank you all for listening.

Re: In Laws Vent!!!!

hunnie i'm so sorry! are you feeling any better now? i hope you both are.
it seems they have a bit of a jealousy issue w/your FH. which is FudUp.
weddings cause so many issues w/people.
and he should tell him that there is plenty of time to back out of being the BM if that's what he wants.
i'm sure it will get better maybe he just needs to talk to them. just becareful i exploded on the FMIL once. we got passed it it's fine now but try your best to just breath and let him tell them off! to he!l w/that. there is no reason for them to treat him like that. esp in front of people.

I cooled off a bit - FH is definitely not feeling any better - hopefully he will cheer up a bit at the hockey game tonight.
