[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s leave language out of it. OP’s fiancé’s family won’t talk to her, brings in an ex girlfriend (I’ll wager theywant him to marry this girl), and then complains if OP isn’t 100% accepting of this. How is that acceptable. [/quote]

Exactly, using language to exclude is an indication of much larger problems.  I'm surprised other posters don't get this.  [/quote]

+1!
The only thing that got me was this part. Why on earth would OP's DH be OK with this??

For the language part, I might be weird but I actually don't mind/ find it kind of a relief that I don't understand the conversation when DH and extended family are talking. Like, I just assume it's 90% small talk anyway so I'm glad to have an excuse to be doing something else lol.
We only see them about once a year and I think it's good that my kids are exposed to hearing a language that is foreign to them, just to pique their interest.
Though the difference from OP is that I (nor in laws) think it's rude to be on my phone when they are engaged with each other, so I just normally sit and pretend I'm searching for stuff/ texting ppl back, etc.[/quote]
