My in-laws are so awful. My husband had mentioned to me he "never wanted to be like his dad." My few encounters over the last 4 years with his father always seemed okay. While there was a language and cultural barrier, we'd had some laughs and always shared good food. My hubby said his childhood was controlling and critical. I wish I'd taken the time to completely understand what that meant. Well, I do now!

We spent two weeks in southeast Asia visiting his family and I have never been so insulted and controlled in all my life. I've also never encountered such a controlling man as my FIL, who is also angry and cruel. I have a new respect and love for my own parents, that's for sure. We were criticized from the moment we stepped off the plane. I was told what to eat, never able to choose my own food. I was told where to sit, even if there was only one option anyway. I was even told once to move from the shade I was standing in (it's hot in SE Asia) to different shade. I can't even pick shade correctly.

FIL drives like a maniac: 90 mph and weaving in and out of traffic. I was absolutely terrified every time we got in the car. So was the MIL but FIL didn't care. He was so mean to her too: making fun of her every chance he got. I can't believe how different my husband is from his father. I wonder if I should worry that's what my husband will turn into someday.

We were yelled at in public by the FIL because we wanted to do something that wasn't part of his plan. He told us we were extremely rude and that you don't come to someone's country as a guest and decide to do things on your own. Really??!! I'd never heard that rule before. And that's how we ended the trip. Upsetting the FIL with the MIL apologizing for his behavior.

Now my husband's dad isn't speaking to him. My husband said us deciding to do one thing on our own was the first time in his entire life he stood up to his father. I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the reaction, if that's the case. But I also feel like I never want to see them again. I never want to visit them again and I'm definitely never bringing any child we might have there to spend time with him. FIL is awful. He frightened me, how angry he got over something that just wasn't that big of a deal.

I did everything they asked me to while we visited, even eating the same food every day over and over again which made my stomach cramp. But I did and I said thank you every time. I went through a religious wedding ceremony for them even though we don't practice any religion and they didn't even bother to come to our real wedding in the U.S. No one said thank you for that. I closed my business for two weeks to spend time visiting them but they don't care. I thought I'd be treated as a special guest, the way my parents treat my husband when he visits. But I was treated like I owed them all this. And I don't think I owe them anything accept to be the best wife to their son.

I haven't changed my maiden name yet and now I don't want to. I don't want them as my family. And I worry all this will eventually become a major problem in our marriage. I feel like I was kept in the dark about his parents and it makes me a little angry at my husband. But then he told me he tried talking to his dad about the crazy driving, and his dad just turned and walked away from him. And that made me sad. So I'm determined to be the best wife I can be, supporting my husband. Definitely watching my criticism of him! And hopefully we can stand up to his parents together. But another trip to SE Asia is not in my future... at least for the time being.

I tired. I really wanted to like you or at least be able to bsad.e friendly with you. But I just can't . You are such a mean, snarky, sarcastic, cold-hearted, jealous women. You have a shitty come back for everything. You are so afraid someone might one up you or make you feel inferior, that you just come out swinging.

It's sad....

I live far away from my in laws but they do not let me live in peace.
FIL visited us and entered all my cupboards and wardrobes to see what all I possess. MIL and FIL don't show any signs of them knowing my presence whereas my husband doesn't let me be on my own. FIL asks my hubby to take him to sexy girls dance bars. (Showgirls) in my presence.
They desperately want kids from me. Mil was hoping that I could give her kids before I could get married to his son. I have never had a boy friend before marriage. I feel tortured. I feel insecure from my MIL. So many crimes happening around. What should I do.😭😭

Hey you!!! Losers AKA Family of Stuck Up, Broke Ass Snobs!!!

Well I am so sure that you all are now overly zealous that the divorce is over...I sure in the hell am!!!!

Now maybe your son, nephew, grandson...etc., can be the man I was preventing him from becoming...wait a damn minute! He never was a man due to the improper influence you assholes bestowed upon him from his birth until present.

Well I guess this is my last official post to my inlaws (Whom I truly hate) :)

Lets make it a good farewell post!!!!

Dear FIL, I will dearly miss your phony ass, you recall right? The way you smiled in my face and stabbed me in the back...I guess smiling faces do tell lies!!! BTW, tell wife #4 I said Adiós :)

Dear MIL, You mooching ass sorry excuse for a mother/woman, now you can have your sorry ass momma's boy back. Perhaps now he can you give you the money that you always requested from us...that I was blocking right? WRONG!!!! Your sorry ass son is broke!!! That was my money that kept us afloat....hope you drown in your lack of Self-sufficiency bitch!!! How long did you really expect to live off of the state? Guess your time ran out...get a man, a job and a life...ugly tramp!!!!

Dear ex-hubby's 1st wife...he's all yours now :) No more having me to blame for him not spending time with his child..now who's keeping him from his child? Perhaps his mooching ass mom...who has the roles of a mother/son relationship all misconstrued!!! Honestly, it's him...he just wants to say he spent time with the kid...but doesn't want to do a damn thing with the kid!!! That's why he would play sleep each time he got back home with the kid...so that he had to do nothing but anxiously await the time to drop off the poor child.

Dear Ex-Hubby...grow some balls and act your age and not your shoe size for once in your life...I have never seen a bigger WIMP and sorry excuse for a man...the Bible states in Genesis 2:24 that "For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh." You NEVER did that...everyone's needs came before our home!!! I'm so over it!!!

To the rest of the family...don't waste your time stating how much I was the issue and the cause of the divorce, I guess that's why this is his SECOND DIVORCE right!!!!

If I could only turn back the hands of time...well no need in looking back....that's the past!!!

Parting is definitely sweet...no sorrow involved...IT'S A BRAND NEW DAY!!!!

I'm signing out ex inlaws...

P.S. KISS MY A$$ :)

I married into a reality show.

Over the years, my in laws and I have never gotten along, mostly because of the fact I'm college educated and blonde...my mother in law believes women should not be educated, should stay home and have babies and cook food; however, her kitchen prowess consists of heating up catered food and Ragu sauce. Also, blondes are scum of the earth in her mind, not clean people. My apologies for my Scottish/Irish/Norwegian heritage. My husband was supposedly "forbade to marry a blonde," growing up as, "they're trailer trash." Ha.

To this day, I'm still referred to as my husband's "friend," (like, am I his period or something?) and they still send a family Christmas card with outdated photos of the family prior to my joining. (Even to me, at the home I share with their son, and to my parents!) This makes my husband cringe, but anything he says to them they lose their you know what about...and they rarely get my name correct.

Then came the wedding: Monster-in-law went from dark brunette to bleach blonde. Wore a WEDDING GOWN with a TRAIN and GLITTER to our very Catholic church wedding, got drunk and attempted to spill multiple cranberry vodkas on my very expensive, very white gown. Which, she also remarked, I should not be wearing seeing that her son and I had been living together since a few months prior. (NO WORDS.)

Then, it all got even better: My brother in law and husband don't get along. Never have, never will. He was not asked to be best man at our wedding, which obviously caused a very heated, physical breakdown (as he is a crazy, overgrown child, who followed my husband to college, but that's besides the point!) He gave a speech (uninvited) at OUR WEDDING describing how this was his brothers SECOND wedding, as his first was to HIM...as in...He was married to his brother, my husband. Note: We are not from some backwoods place, we're from Jersey. We don't marry family members. Guidos, yes, but definitely not marrying cousins...People looked so mortified, and my father finally took the microphone, to which his parents were very displeased. We were at my parents boat club, with friends and family all around, at a wedding they didn't put up a penny for...and we were expected to face embarrassment because they don't control him in public?

These crazy pigs have kept it up for the nearly three years we've been married, calling me constantly to tell me that my husband is meeting with divorce attorneys, is cheating on me, is leaving for an arranged marriage they've set up for him (to the girl next door, who is basically the town bicycle....eek.) And have shown up at our home and places of business uninvited numerous times! To tell us they won't love our future kids since they'll be "half mine" and that "they're embarrassed to share a last name with me." (Likewise, hence the reason I now proudly go by my maiden name, with the love and support of my husband.)

VOMIT. Seriously, there's a reason they have no friends, why their own families don't even associate with them, why their own son doesn't even want to send them a Christmas card or call them, and a reason we don't pick up the phone. Insane!!

To go para sailing and drop his parachute into an ACTIVE VOLCANO (i was watching the weather channel about the volcanoes in Hawaii on Sat.- and I thot to myself wow:) what an awesome idea to erase this MAJOR male NAGGG out of our lives- an they stereotype women as NAGGING Wives/GF's- I think NOT)...that volcanic lava should cook your goose thoroughly you nagging-wining-silly-punk a-- b-ish!!

Oh the reason he is a NAGG is because HIS MOM/MIL spoiled him ROOTEN!! He is still her fav. son & my DH can't see that BIL is just jealous of his life and accomplishments and he is only calling to aggravate and stop our day. He never has an emergency or anything of substance to discuss. So, I'm just planning to leave out 1st thing on Sat. mornings so I will not have to be around to witness the unproductive interrupting ph calls because it appears that this miserable sick b-ish is not gonna stop calling my DH anytime soon(DH doesn't want me telling him what to do with him calling either so I'll just let him create a RIFF in our marriage for now F them BOTH)...I HATE this BIL b-ish & his entire FAMILY and I don't want them to visit our NEW HOME!! I get lethargic just thinking about the retarded low level conversations they engage in..I'm like how did I get here in this life with YOU ALL??? WTF did i do wrong in my past life??? WTF??

Karma, you missed my inlaws!

Theyre not even my inlaws (mil, fil, 2bils, and sil)!!!
My brother's inlaws are coming to town to see the sites and i am the only one from my family living here - his stupid wife convinced him it would be rude if he didnt offer my 3 bedroom condo(where i live on my own) for them to stay in - ("afterall, she has two extra rooms") - so he did!
Praying and hoping they arent the lowest form of life and refuse this offer... why do i have to babysit inlaws that arent mine?? especially when i dont even like my brother's wife who is my actual inlaw!
Please pray for me and my sanity.

It's been over 4 years since our last visit and DH is trying to drag this out for a lifetime. Now you are inviting yourselves to our place. Not going to happen. I can think of plenty of nice people I'd rather entertain than a bunch of rude mooching heathens such as my in-laws. DH is really starting to see that my side of the family has some class and manners. If you show up on our doorstep DH will have some harsh words I'm afraid. So you better keep your distance. You just want the association all for your benefit anyways. NIL says she is moving. Probably to a bigger house with an in-law apt. to accommodate her domineering controlling mother and mooching Uncle. What a life! We wouldn't be surprised if NIL's husband just packs up and leaves.
