[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When we told FIL and SMIL that we were getting married, FIL immediately (in front of me and other extended family) asked H if he was “trapped.” Not only was I not pregnant, we had never had sex. I let it go to a point, but we both were horrified and it definitely set a tone. The trapped language is gross but if he had privately asked H it would be kind of understandable because we did not date for long and set a speedy wedding date.[/quote]

I mean, you're the one who told them the news in front of everyone. You clearly surprised them and he reacted out of surprise. Sure, it was a rude comment, but you sound dramatic and could have handled the situation a lot better.[/quote]
Right, it’s so abnormal to announce an engagement at a family dinner. FTR, H did all the talking and we both remained gracious and calm. But it was extremely rude and no one does that. You don’t bellow reproductive interrogations at your son and future DIL. [/quote]

I mean, you can convince yourself of your "rightness" all you want. Some people disagree with you. But you seem to want to hang on to the anger, so go with it. Keep telling the story. Don't move past it.

And no, I'm not a doormat. We don't speak to my husband's parents anymore after instances of verbal abuse so I don't think people can say whatever they want to say whenever they want to say it, even if they are family. But I think your example is petty and so are you. You obviously don't have to agree. [/quote]
