[quote=Anonymous]PP here. I really think maybe it is better for some people to have married their h.s. sweetheart! At least they would know their background and family before any surprises.

I have a childhood friend from a really nice family with a really accomplished background.  She is truly accustomed to nice things (not just hoping for them!!!!)  The kind of place she comes from you don't see in this area.  Her family are down to earth people.  You never hear them criticize others because they are not insecure and well, they have class.  Meanwhile, this friends IL's are trying to rip her to shreds because they grew up differently and the IL's are actually threatened by it.  It is disgusting.  No, my friend does not belong in her IL's family.  They could not be more different, which usually is a good thing.  If only the IL's did not believe everyone should be like them!

Recently, my friend told me the IL's actually told her she seeks attention - "on exhibition" I think they told her.  She could not believe her ears.  Many people in the community know her ILs and are not surprised they are not welcoming to her.  They almost wish they could have warned her. Over the years these people have shocked her with their terrible behaviors toward her.  They have thought she did not know.  One thing after another.  I have known my friend since way back when.  She has never really changed.  She is a woman of conviction, grace and charm.  She is the first to try to cheer someone up. She is everything her IL's (from what I have seen and heard from her) are not.  We've seen each other through so much.  She does not deserve this.  Yes, this friend married down.  I'll say it for her.

OP, know your IL's.  That is what I thought of when I read your post.  Your IL's may very well resent your socio economic class, upbringing, accomplishments and background.  Hell, they might just not like the way you look.  It could be anything an insecure, sociopathic bunch could dream up. Not always for the better. They may have an impossible time hiding it.
