It's been two, almost three months since I posted about my in law drama. I just wanted to say that I found everyone's thoughts and advice to be very helpful and comforting.
Since I last posted, my in laws have actually been very, very quiet. I think we may have actually bought ourselves some peace regarding this wedding. I blocked my FSIL from my cell phone, my email, and on facebook, which was a huge relief to me. I wasn't constantly waiting for her next bit of drama, which took a weight off of my shoulders. My FI has spoken to her a couple of times in the past few months, but they've been very brief conversations. She's pregnant now, so maybe she's busy with that. My FI's parents have been super quiet. My FI has definitely changed how he speaks to them- their conversations are very brief and superficial. They don't know much about our lives, which is for the best.
My FSIL did manage to annoy me without speaking to me last month. She called my MOH and said that she wanted to throw us a party. My MOH tried talking her out of it, knowing that I didn't want to see or talk to her before the wedding and knowing that I'm not much into parties. After a half hour conversation, he hadn't convinced her to drop the idea- she was "going to do this to get her brother back". So my FI called her and said that he really didn't want her to throw a party of any kind. She's not used to being told no about anything, so she made up some drama about being upset that I had told my MOH that she was pregnant. She never told me it was secret! I'm also pretty sure he'll notice that she's 7 months pregnant at our wedding. She's such a drama lama.
My FI and I have learned some hard lessons through all of this, but have grown a lot closer because of it. I have no doubts that I am marrying an amazing man who would stick by me through anything.
Here's to hoping the peace sticks!
