- I really feel like my in-laws (sis and mother) treat me like crap sometimes. Every time, I can honestly say it was not deserved. I'm not sure why it happens, nor why I am the target. But it hurts. It hurts me because I am an adult, and I am being belittled by a woman who thinks I am some sort of helpless female, and a girl who is my junior and thinks she can correct me whenever she sees fit. I don't understand why they do it, and I know we all love each other. When it's not like this, we click so well. But they get in these moods where they start tag-teaming me. I hate it so much because I"m then torn as to whether I should let them have it back, or that I should just let it slip by.
- Honestly, I wish my husband would defend me to them, strait out. If my family did this to him, I would be flipping out. I would tell them straight-up how low it was and how much it hurt him. Its so hard not to compare both sides of the family, but I know my parents and my sibs would never go out of their way to 'correct' him or belittle him.
- They are his family though. Mother and sister of the man I married...I will never ask him to say anything to them. I feel like it would just add fuel to the fire, and it would put him in an uncomfortable spot. And I don't want him to feel obligated to confront two of the most important women in his life, nor for them to feel like he chooses me over them because he somehow loves me more. I would hope that if he did say anything, it would be of his own discretion that he needed to. Not because I pushed him to.
- This is one of those situations I feel like nobody has ever figured out. I'm all for honesty, but I also think this is one of those lines I need to cross and don't know how. I wish there was an easy answer for everyone, I know millions of people go through this every day. Oh God, what is it?
