[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you not date him and meet his family before marrying him, doofus?[/quote]

NP, but I did not meet my in laws before getting married. Big mistake. [/quote]

I met my ILs only briefly before marriage.  They started really piling it on at our wedding planning, but I was absorbed with my parent literally dying, so I was not able to devote the time, attention, and crystal clear response I normally would have. The ILs are not nice people, in any form of the word, and any chance they have to pile it on, they do.  I am grateful that they inadvertently have given, and continue to give me (and now, DH), the insight to know how it was for DH in that God awful house, growing up. They are not happy about anything, unless they are gushing about a strangers baby, but that is about it. They are codependent, cold and clannish and antagonistic, and only getting worse. It is all about them. (Ex: DC excitedly disclosing to MIL DC's college choice - her response: "I thought you would go to (MIL's favorite school here)".  No "congratulations", nothing. Then MIL goes on to tell DC which non-family member (MIL) is going to leave her jewelry to, unprompted. Just a tiny example of the typical nastiness.  The family dynamics are completely dysfunctional and each time I thought I have heard it all - they never cease to amaze, truly.  [/quote]
