[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about you stick up for your husband and tell your family in no uncertain terms that the comparisons must stop or they won't be seeing you and your family?  If they are as blatant as you suggest, this is not difficult.[/quote]

I've tried.  They just laughed and told me not to take things so personally.[/quote]

I'd draw a hard line on this one.  It's just plain rude, regardless of family dynamics.  I wouldn't take a stranger speaking about my DH that way, and I wouldn't take it from family either.  Be the bigger bitch, op.  Hang up the phone. If its in person, leave the room, or the event if necessary.  It's not okay, and you should be showing them by your actions that it's not okay. [/quote]

You know, over Christmas I walked away from one of these discussions.  I ended up the bad guy because I left our three year old downstairs while I sulked upstairs about it.  I really feel like I can't win here.

I know, I know, don't go back, but that's definitely a family dynamics thing that prevents excluding them for our lives.[/quote]
