[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up LMC and husband’s family is very, very well off. They are outwardly warm and polite, but one time about 5 years ago, my FIL had one too many and accused me of being a gold digger. So… in retrospect I should have been prepared that they would never accept me, no matter what my education and career achievements are.

And before someone says “well, you must have done something…” They have never given us money, we have never asked them for money, and I out-earned my husband until a few years ago. I am in charge of the family budget and the only reason we were able to afford our house is because I sold the DC condo purchased in my 20s which nearly doubled in price (just luck on my part). But I am still a gold digger. We’ve been together nearly 20 years, I guess they think I’m playing the long game?

Oof that's tough. I hope your husband and MIL were ashamed of his mouth.[/quote]

My MIL just pretended nothing happened, as she always does with unpleasant things. But I could see by her face she was absolutely horrified. My husband was amazing, immediately stood up to FIL, told him he was not to speak to me that way and insisted we leave. FIL called me to apologize the following morning. I accepted the apology because I value family and I know my husband loves his dad, but I can’t ever forget how he looked at me and spoke to me in that moment, completely out of nowhere and unprovoked.
