[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I married into a family of Ohio Christians who are Midwestern nice. It seemed so wonderful at first compared to my family of outward dysfunction. I’ve learned over time that what I thought was impeccable manners is actually repression. [b]The women in particular are infantilized simpletons.[/b] I don’t have any advice, just that I understand. [/quote]

Wow. I feel for your in laws. Hopefully your spouse divorces you and find someone kinder.[/quote]

Ha ha ha ha ha! As if. He never will initiate a divorce - not ever, no matter what. I’ve gotten fed up over the years and tried but he has never entertained it even in our lowest points as a couple. Part of the Midwestern nice upbringing means that his top ambition in life was to be a husband. Raising my kids to be much different- to value actual authenticity over outward appearances and to make sure both DDs and DSs know that it is ok for women to aspire to more than SAHM or elementary school teachers (no hate to those roles - but girls shouldn’t be railroaded into that if they want to take a different path).

I grew up in the Midwest. Your posts are drowning in stereotypes. [/quote]
