ok so after much drama this holiday season with the FMIL, we are pretty much square. Since I didnt spend the christmas holiday at their house FI came home with gifts for me since I sent him home with all of theirs.
I open the gifts a few days later, and all is good until i come across one UGLY scarf. Normally I wouldnt say anything but jeez this thing looks like a slug....it has elastic so it "bounces" and has all these nubbs on the ends that look like eyes (It actually gave me a nightmare later on that night). I showed it FI and he also said it looked heinous. Actually he yelped and shuddered when i stood next to him and displayed the "bouncing"
I know it makes me sound ungrateful but this is the 5th holiday scarf I opened and I know that its one of those package deals where you buy a bunch of stuff and they give you a "free" gift. Instead of locking the thing so it doesnt strangle me in my sleep up or burning it i was thinking of donating it to goodwill since it is new and the color is lovely.
Low and behold its from FMIL! not a big deal, I'll just wear one of the other scarves and say its home. who would tell her I hate it since I only told FI? Well FI threw me under the bus! The bastard actually told her i didnt like it and it gave me nightmares. WTH! I asked him why he told her something like that and he blithly states "well she asked if you liked it. I didnt want to lie" I could kill him. I told him he could have told her the same thing he tells her when she buys him something random he doesnt want "Its sweet that you thought of me, thank you." Now she wants the damn thing back and I know shes going to try to make this into a big deal.
I swear when the hell did this man lose his common sense?! I love him but jeez the things that come out of his mouth...Anyhow vent over sorry about that. But last night every time I would think about it i would throw a pillow, sock or glove at FI's head in an attempt to knock sense into him. now i dont feel as violent
