[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH needs to shut this down. Couples get married where they live.[/quote]

Their argument is that DH did not actually live in LA or San Diego (he was in the military and had been in LA less than two years when we married). Did I accidentally hold a destination wedding? I'm so humiliated at the idea.[/quote]

Aha! Now we know the truth. They hated that the military sent him so far away, but thought he'd come back home after he'd served. Instead, he married a girl in SoCal, cementing the fact that he was never coming back.[/quote]

Yep.

This.

Tale as old as time in military circles.[/quote]

Agreed. They're mad at him.

OP, you have nothing to be hurt or humiliated about. It's not your fault or your problem that they don't like that their boy doesn't live close by. The fact that they keep harping on it in this way, year after year, trying to blame you, is not fair to you. It's toxic. You should work on building stronger boundaries for yourself. Just because someone wants to dump their negativity on you doesn't mean you open the door and take it in.

And from now on, any time someone brings it up, start singing "Let It Go."[/quote]
