NWR: Just need to vent...

Sorry I really just need to vent to people who dont know me. It is some what wedding related.

First off my FI is wonderful but his 2 ex girlfriends who are also working at the same company as us are being very pushy as of late. The one girl almost ruined his brothers marriage and forced his brother to quit work, and the other is just a little too flirtatious. They both dont get the fact that hes not available, even though he ignores their calls and texts, but they try to corner him at work. Its getting fustrating. They also call and text him constantly to which he never answers but still! Im so fed up with it. They will stop for a few months then out of the blue they start up again.

 To make matters worse his good friend is moving in with one of the girls (non relationship type) hes getting a divorce. Makes no sense to me but whatever. This will cause huge conflict between us because I will not allow my FI to hang out with her at all because I know what she is capable of. She has no boundries, and even though he does, I still do not trust her and her manipulation. If she did it to my FBIL on the clock at work, when he told her no and to back off, what makes her think that she wont do it to my FI!

The other problem is my dad. He is dating this woman who is hidious. She is rude and crude, never been nice to my sister nor I. He wants us to like her and get a long with her but how can you get a long with someone who is constantly correcting the way you talk, refusing to answer questions because you phrased it wrong (mind you this lady is not an english major) in fact she doesnt even have a college education. My father is oblvious to it all, but he did admit that she does do that to him. Trying to tell him how we feel is like talking to a rock. Any time that we are with him alone she is bombing his phone with text messages and phone calls so its like you get two words in and there she is.

I was trying to talk to him about the wedding one day and it was like hey dad this is what I want this is the venue and here is the reception and we were talking prices and she was calling before I could get through a whole sentance. I finally told him forget it, if you want to have a conversation with me come back with out your cell phone and dont bring your leash. I have always been really close to my dad, but this woman is seriously turning him against us and treating us badly.

Thankfully she never got to say two words to my FI other wise she would most likely be 6ft under.

I sound jealous but its not that. I just am aggravated, and I dont get along with women so well. Im protective of my father as I dont want to see him go through pain again the way he did when my mom passed. This woman has already broken up with him once but came crawling back.

UGH thanks for letting me vent!

    Haha... I am very tempted to telling my FSIL to call into the ethics hotline to complain that she is the reason her DH left. He had orders to go to Iraq but fell through. He just quit here any ways because of her issues. The one girl knows that her butt is mine if she does anything, the other not so much!

    Thanks so much. Im very tempted to get a CZ huge ring and flaunt it in their face to go HAHA! that would not be very nice.

    How are the ex's getting away with all the inappropriate behavior at work? Geez. Good luck not scratching someone's eye out. Don't know if I could handle the situation.

    I share your pain on dealing with your dad's girlfriend. I'm not happy with my mom's estranged husband. Or whom I thought was estranged until I started planning my wedding and suddenly my mom wanted him there. I have chosen to bite my tongue. I've tried the kicking and screaming method and nothing was accomplished. You gotta hope that your dad will come into his senses in time.

    Hang in there.

    Aww...Hugs! I agree with people, those girls need to get a life!!!

    I am having problems with my dad too.  He hasn't been around for 6 years and now he thinks that he and his wife(who is the reason he cut ties with all his kids) should be invited to Vegas. 

    The thing that keeps me prositive is the love and help i get from FI, family(who has been there) and friends and the thought of marrying my best friend!

    Thanks guys!

    Its so nice to know that I'm not alone with the dad thing. I think its whats affecting me the most. Fi is very supportive of me, and I have no worries about the girls its just annoying. In fact Im going to our hr dept today. Im finally done.

    Again thanks for not bashing me!

    If your dad's girlfriend makes you uncomfortable at your wedding or reception, I'd say just put a sarcastic smile on and put her in her place. There's nothing wrong with setting boundaries with her, or letting her know what kind of behavior you will and will not tolerate from her. I have relatives that act similarly. They feel that they can get away with this kind of rude behavior simply because they have a couple of decades on me. However, you do not have to allow yourself to be treated this way. I do understand that she is also in a relationship with your father, but your father loves you dearly. I'm sure he does not want you to feel like this, especially on your wedding day. Being overly tactful and polite, but also firm when you speak with her, will get the message across in a way that she cannot argue against. You are a grown woman, and you do not deserve to be treated like that.

    As far as the friends go, I would have him block their calls. Your cell phone company can set that up for you. Also, have a word with them yourself if you feel that it's necessary. If they are still persistent, tell them to go find an escort job where people actually have the time and patience to put up with their attention. You could also... oh SO politely... suggest that there are plenty of online dating sites they could try, and that the dating pool isn't limited to married men in their workplace.

    It's amazing what you can do with eye contact, a stern comment, and a smile. =)

    Best of luck to you... I hope everything turns out ok. <3 Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself! I think it's great that you're bringing it up to HR. No one should feel uncomfortable in their workplace. I hope they are able to solve the problem for you.Laughing
