Ooookay...

...stumbled across this today:

Someone moved to another country to be with her fiancee. She doesn't get on with her future in-laws. Nothing new under the sun there, except the reason she doesn't get on with her future in-laws:

"They welcomed her into their family with open arms! The mother-in-law told her it was like getting a daughter, the sister-in-law that it was like getting a sister."

Yes, how DARE they! Naturally the woman soon to be married is offended and since her fiancee just sat there saying nothing, she had to set them straight herself and inform them that they were most certainly not her family and although they would become her family by marriage, once she and her fiancee married, they would never be her real family - and then for some reason everyone, including her fiancee, became upset with her!

bad freaky friendly family people... hunt them down with hayforks and burn their caverns...

And what exactly does she think marrying is? humanized egg laying farm?
Or does she only want to marry family? wait, does she have egyptian pharao roots and such? and no siblings? *headdesk*

*lol*
She might be happier if she had Egyptian Pharao roots and had to marry a real relative.

Rule ## 1. Never piss off a guy by dissing his mom. That is his MOM you are talking about.

Rule ## 2. If future inlaws are nice enough to welcome a stranger into their family as one of them be thankful for very big mercies.

Rule ## 3. Disregard rules 1 and 2 to enjoy a life of self-inflicted misery and a short path to the divorce court, assuming the marriage still goes ahead. I don't think I would if I were that guy. I would be wondering if I knew this strange person I had wanted to marry.

What a piece of work.

Yeah, if I were that guy, I'd certainly be taking a good long look at my fiancee - and the poor in-laws, what a bucket of cold water in their face that was.

I read this aloud to Mads and we are both sitting here, shaking our heads......

I could hardly believe it myself when I read it.

Oh, I can see that marriage lasting a long time.

Not her real family? Doesn't she realise that if she has children, she's mingling her genetics with theirs, and last I checked, that meant family

So, according to her logic, which of her two sets of grandparents aren't her "real" grandparents?

Her fiance is better off without her if she's got an attitude like that.
