[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My SIL got (re)married last fall. She sat her somewhat recently divorced parents (and mom's boyfriend) next to each other for the ceremony. At the reception, it was SIL's son, FIL, DH, me, MIL, and MIL's boyfriend at a table.

It. Was. AWFUL.

My FIL damn near had a panic attack and went back to his hotel room partway through the reception.

And of course this was at a small resort, so FIL and MIL kept running into each other all weekend. MIL is pretty oblivious to how much the divorce hurt FIL and says things like "why is he avoiding us?" and "Why doesn't he want to get drinks with us?"[/quote]

This makes me feel so sad for FIL[/quote]

My FIL is a wonderful, if somewhat reserved and stoic, man. The whole divorce was gut wrenching (MIL walked out one day and filed for divorce the next "but without any hard feelings!") and incredibly painful for him. For his own daughter to be so callous and force him to be in such close proximity to his ex and her boyfriend...well, that pretty much sums up my selfish, thoughtless twat of a SIL. The less said about MIL, the better.

Meanwhile, I was 7 months pregnant and bitter as all get out that I was at the damn wedding in the first place. SIL gave us 10 weeks notice about this destination wedding. DH insisted we HAD to attend despite the fact that we already had a trip planned. It's a miracle I didn't murder somebody that weekend.[/quote]
