[quote=Anonymous] Please separate the absence of unbridled joy from unnecessarily rude comments. Since this is a very important step in their child's life, parents should treat this event seriously, and sometimes that means not jumping for joy, but asking the tough questions. None of our 4 parents congratulated us when DH and I announced our engagement. They were worried about whether we were a good fit for each other, and a million other things, for our own good. It didn't mean they didn't like us. On the other hand, "asking for permission" is incredibly anachronistic. OP, given you've socialized with your fiance's parents before, is this really a surprise? They are allowed not to like you, but not to be rude to you. In this instance, they were not rude to you, BTW. If you're sure you're a good fit with your fiance, have you thought about the fit with your ILs? [/quote]
