[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did marry outside of my social class and my ILs hate me, completely totally hate me because of it. They don't even know me, have never had any conversations with me, are not interested in me, but they hate, hate, hate me because of my background, education, upbringing, my house, my taste in pretty much everything.

I wonder if they'd hate me if I were the same social class as they, but it's too late now. I've been married to their son for 18 years, so that's a lot of hating on their part.

I'm in a similar situation. They definitely - okay, I'm pretty sure - don't hate me, but I detect resentment and jealousy. Where they've struggled their whole lives (they live with MIL's mother now) my DH and I have been comfortable since we got married. Not rich, by any means, but able to buy a home, travel, put our kids in nice programs, go to "fancy" restaurants, etc. They have never had those things. Their jealousy is understandable, but uncomfortable - I'm always self-editing for fear of coming across as a "snob" (to them).[/quote]
