MIL joined eHarmony about 2 months ago. I remember her telling me explicitly "I just want to have fun, not like I want to get married or anything". Okay, I was down with that. The woman is 0 for 2 sooo.She starts talking to this guy who apparently worked with H and his siblings at a grocery store probably 15 years ago, and none of them really remember him. They connect over a tragic incident that was a turning point in H's life and MIL is all "isn't it sooooo weird and coincidental". She has a thing with weird connections being "fate" or whatever. H invited MIL over last week to see our newly remodeled bathroom and she says, "well I'm not sure what R is doing, blah blah blah". H never invited R, but apparently MIL can't do anything without R anymore. R and MIL, (plus 12 yo SIL and R's 10 yo daughter) show up on Sunday and he's a nice enough guy. Nothing to look at, etc his daughter is mildly retarded or at least acts that way. She's a sweetheart though, so I guess that's something positive to throw in there.Come yesterday H gets a phone message from R asking him if we all want to get together because his son is in town. At 5:00 on a Thursday. Okaaayyy? No. I have a feeling MIL is behind all of this and that she's pushing us all to be a giant "happy family". We weren't a typical "happy family" before, so she's delusional. I just think it's strange that she's all yippy skippy about this dude and he's nothing awesome to look at. I guess I'll just have to put on my happy face. So glad we're not going.
