the only thing I don't love about the FH is

His family.

I ran into them in the shoe store tonight, and they are SO passive aggressive and opinionated. They tell me all the time they want to be a part of the wedding (I have completely left them out of everything) because they are SO opinionated. I couldn't have them telling me what I wanted through the whole process, and they do not take no for an answer.

My Fh gets caught in the middle, and he will never see what I see about them. I pretty much dread them in my life - especially when it will come to the kids.


Does anyone else pretty much hate the in laws?

Yes - they come off as the nicest people. It all started to go sour when we got engaged.
They got really controlling - and I see they will be a part of my life forever. I know the saying goes 'you marry the family too' but I never expected to have them so in my face and up in my business.

the FMIL is so nosy and ignorant - I can't stand talking to her... Which is bad because she talks incessantly, firing questions, and telling you about herself. Its a one sided prying conversation. she even stooped to asking about our sex life. can you believe that. Then she spreads it literally all over the town - she is one of those neighbors who knows all of the other neighbors business - then tells everyone. Tonight I just couldn't take her.

I can't imagine going through life hating my in-laws. That would be awful. Is there anyway you can make peace with them?

I only have a FFIL. FH's mom passed away 9 years ago. I hear a lot of people complaining about their FMIL - but sometimes I wish I had one!
