Cliffnotes on the Andra post? I really don't want to wade through 300 posts

It ended up that OP's FMIL makes inappropriate comments and manipulates FI. OP's FI does not stick up for her and acts very immaturely when OP tries to talk about her concerns. FMIL also said that family is forever and wives are temporary. OP is going to talk to her FI about her feelings and ask him to go to counseling.

That is a very abridged version.

Edit: Spelling

ETA: FMIL not FI made the family is forever comment.

Yeah, I don't think I would marry someone who went into it with the mentality that i was temporary.

I am not planning this damn wedding for 22 months just to be "temporary"

Beachy730

Oh man, I would move as far away from the MIL as possible if I were her.

[QUOTE]Her FI didn't say wives are temporary.  Her FMIL said that.
Posted by Holly4212011[/QUOTE]

You're right, I stand corrected. I was just search through the post to see if that was right. I think the problem is that FMIL makes comments and FI doesn't defend OP or dispute the comments.

Hi ladies. I haven't been around in a while, thought I would stop in and say hello :-) Have a bit of free time tonight for the first time in a while.

I concur with whatever meal plan involves wine.

DNB, those are great things to give up. I recently gave up soda also. The first week or two were hard, but I feel SO much better now. Even just being less.. puffy and bloated feeling. Keep up the good work! Lent has also inspired me to find a church  home in our new state. H gets here next week (finally) so we will be able to look together. Shouldn't be too hard. There's a church on every cornere around these parts.

The EParty thread was so sad. I really feel for the OP. I can't imagine what that feels like. Tough decisions to make.

ETA: Somehow, in my absence, my sig pics disappeared. WTF, Knot. WTF.

mkrupar

Yeah FMIL was definitely the one that said that. She also said, when FI was leaving to help OP move that, "It makes sense he would leave. Obviously OP's c*unt juice is sweater than breast milk."

WTF says that?

Beachy730

HBTK- yeah I finally found a church to go to here.  We never found one in WA and I am mad at myself for it.  We actually saw this one when we were out house hunting, and it stuck out since it has the same name as the church we were married in.  I liked it, but I'll try it a few more weeks before I decide for sure that it's our church.  I don't want to wait until H gets home to decide since it's still forever away.

mkrupar

HBTK go and save your sig pic again. That's what helped other posters.

Oh wow, I really haven't been here in a bit-- I didn't even realize you left WA! Happy to be back on the East Coast?

Beachy730

Holy eff, who the hell says things like that?  I almost want to go read this thread now to see more about her FI's reactions.  Because if her FI didn't flip the eff out on his mom right there then he is a douche.  I'm pretty sure I would have slapped the woman right there, whether I was that poster or one of her parents.

<div>Haha yeah I've been here about a month now.  Yeah I'm happy to be back.  It's nice to be much closer to family, and my parents already came down to visit which was awesome.  It does stink that I only really know 1 person right near me, but I have a few people within a couple hours (including MK) so I might need to make some drives.  Our original plan was only going to have me here for a couple months alone, but H's deployment just got extended so it will be a little longer now.  But other than that I am loving it here!</div>

WildRumpus

Um..I think I'm glad that I didn't read that thread.

mkrupar

I'm here DNB! I'm here! Although I start work on Monday, but that doesn't mean weekends are out to GTG.

Her FI's reaction to that comment was she has no filter and didn't mean it in a bad way.

mkrupar

I wish the kids that lived above us didn't choose the hours of 9pm-11pm their "run-around" time. Jeeze it's annoying.

That's fantastic, I am really happy for you! VA is a nice place to be, that is for sure. Before I took the job in OK, it was a state we were strongly considering ourselves. Enjoy it while you're there :-)

Beachy730

MK I think we will definitely need to meet to go see HG!  

My MIL definitely has no filter, and is known to be obnoxious.  The first time she met my mom H made his grandma came too so that she would keep his mom under control a bit.  If she ever said something like that in front of my parents i'm pretty sure H would have been the one to slap her.

I have only had one downstairs apartment for that exact reason.

However my current neighbor sings in the shower... which shares a wall with my bedroom. I get Lady Gaga's greatest hits on the daily.

mkrupar

I was shocked when she said her MIL said that.

Yes we will see HG together!

It's also apparently time to vacuum.

Beachy730

I hate having shared walls.  Both of our last places were two story townhomes, but we were in middle units so we had people on either side of us.  In WA we had 3 kids next to us that I swear played soccer games in their living room.

Out of habit I still catch myself not wanting to be too loud or hammer things into the wall at weird hours.  Hopefully that goes away soon.

mkrupar

I don't ever hear the people on the left of us, but the people on the right share a living room wall with us and it's aweful.

Then the people above us are just obnoxious. I honestly don't have any idea how many people live there. People come and go all day long. It's annoying. Especially when owning two dogs that bark at every little noise.

Evening ladies, the work day from Hell is almost over.  Yipee. 

High point of the day, was the new salon I am going to offered me a glass of wine when I arrived to get my hairs done.  Yes, I drank it, and had another while under the dryer waiting for my highlights to set!  And yes, I will be going back. 

aleighk1

At least you had that habit Beachy. Our upstairs neighbors must be elephants. 

mica178

Hi!

I'm sort of furious right now.  My painters aren't done today despite reassurances yesterday.  Everything is going to be delayed by a day.  ;(

lyndausvi

I have the quietest neighbors ever.  We have one guy to the left us us. One above and below.  I NEVER hear them.  You will hear things when you are walking in the hallways, but once you are inside it's almost complete silence (except for the street noise).

A lot of our neighbors are doctors and there are 2 hospitals 2 blocks away. With rotations it means they are not always around during 'normal' hours.  A bunch of us work in the hospitality industry and we do not work normal hours either.  The combination means, very little noise, empty hallways and fast/empty elevators. 

I've lived here since Sept.  In Dec I found out my boss lives downstairs.  To this date I've only run into him once since I moved here.   

Somehow though everyone knows Chef D
