stupid people

Quote From: myet2002

Dear Amanda I really hope you take the help from Dr. Phil, because when I saw your husband put his hand on your leg and remove it, like he was afraid his MOTHER would see it, that showed exactly how he feels about you! My husband would stand up for me or he would not be my husband. The Bible says to a man should leave his mother and father and the 2 shall become ONE,...

God Bless and good luck!

Amanda, this is good advice. I put that phrase on my wedding bulletin, and some people on my husbands side of the family has not yet gotten the hint. In this case it is his stupid sister, who cussed my husband out on father's day at their parents house. His sister does not want me in the picture, and she is dealing with her own issues of not being able to sustain a relationship, excessive weight (and excessive weight loss), food and not being able to separate from her parents. She accused me of trying to take her brother away from her. HOW STUPID!! That's why we got married. And yes, the two shall become as one, and if the husband won't leave a healthy distance from his family, then there will be heartache for any wife. I am still working on my husband, and he too, is weak when it comes to his family, in terms of saying no. I have told him that I married for love, and after being divorced for twelve years, raising a child, etc., I don't NEED him, but I do want him.....but not with a lot of baggage. If I were Amanda, I would leave now. She is cute, and there is someone else who will put up a stronger presence. DONT HAVE A BABY, whatever you do.

DEAL BREAKER

The first years of marriage should be blissful and exciting. I am sorry that Amanda has to go through this nonsense at an early stage and a young age. Being single is not all that bad, but having in-laws who don't really like you, or expect you to conform to their way of thinking is just pure hell. You might want to get out now, while you haven't invested much time and energy. This week momma's boy is too old to act like this. YOU ARE SOMEBODY, AMANDA!!! These people are treating you as if you are lesser than..don't stand for it. Maybe Dr.Phil can help you leave. I would drink too, if she was my mother-in-law.

If you do decide to keep the marriage, move out of the house TONIGHT!! That type of control is only adding fuel to the flame.

good for you

Quote From: twobabies3

I have had inlaws that have bullied me from the beginning of our marriage.  They are horrible and have tried to control me and take over my home every time they visit since I married my husband.  We have been married for 11 years and this last weekend his sister's family came to stay at our house for a soccer tournament and kicked both of my children out of their beds because their daughter had to have her rest and could only be in bed with her brother Josh.  I stated that my daughter had her dance photos the next day and also needed her rest and that they could sleep together.  They both said no to that and the situation was very awkward.  Right then my husband should have asked them to leave but he is a pathetic weak wimp and didn't do anything.  I could see that this was really going to blow up so we left it alone for the night and the next day we argued about it and how his whole family was a bunch of bullies.  His mom and step dad came down in February and tried to take back a baby crib by force when I told them no that I wasn't ready to give it away yet.  She took our pack and play, bed rails, and crib mattress.  I wasn't happy that she took those things but I was determined that she wasn't taking the crib which is an heirloom that I intend to pass down to my children.   He decided to call his mom about what his sister was doing and held out the phone and demanded that I talk to her and followed me around with the phone.  We had a very unpleasant conversation and I took the kids to a nearby hotel for the night.  His sister then called me on the phone after the first soccer game was over to confront me.  I hung up on her and refused to take her calls.  The next day my husband called her and demanded that I talk to her and she screamed at me and called me a bitch and said that she was turning the car around to come back to our house and beat me up and that she loved her brother and his kids but hated my guts.  I told her that I would have the police waiting on them when they got here.  They didn't end up coming back but the next day I filed a police report on them and now they cannot come back to our house.  I can't believe that this is what it took to finally get them off my back.  I have never filed a police report on anyone before in my life.  They are horrible and southern white trash.  I am so relieved that I do not ever have to see them again.  Thank God they are gone for good!
CONGRATULATIONS!! Ever wonder what these husbands would be doing if they weren't married to you. My husband would still be drunk and irresponsible. These in-laws shoudl be grateful that someone wanted their sorry brothers and sons!

THINK ABOUT IT

I am ten years older than my husband, in my forties. There are times that I wished I'd married someone closer to my age. Can't really get him to understand what responsibilities a family man has, like coming home before midnight, not making so many plans that, in my opinion, are an extension of his single life, etc. Think twice before you say "I do." Marriage is tough work, and you need to have more things in common than not. Opposites may attract, but they may not be a match. At nineteen, no one in the US should marry....tooo much living to do before you settle down

poor daughter

Quote From: miekje

i think you should talk to your brother in law. because it doesn't matter whether kids are real siblings, half siblings, or step siblings, they need their alone time with their parents. when you have two normal siblings, they have their own sports, or things they do, and the other one doesn't have to be included all the time, so why should it be any different, if they are step brother and sister? try to make that clear to him. i would just talk to your niece and tell her that grown ups make mistakes too, and that it is indeed not her fault. your brother in law might think it is not your bussines, but if she comes crying everytime, i think it is your bussines, you care about this kid, and you want the best for her, and this isn't it, even though he doesn't mean it bad. make it clear to him that he has to treat all the kids the same way, so if he doesn't have alone time with her, he shouldn't have alone time with his other kids, which is impossible, so maybe like this he will see that he is being unfair, and that he has to change.

This marriage will not last under these rules. Perhaps then the daughter will be able to spend time with her father....he will be very free.

Step-Parenting

Quote From: jdrabble

i know exactly how you are feeling. my husbands ex is the same she just wont get over the fact they are not together.

i have been with my husband for five years now, thats a long time when you constantly have to deal with the exs complaints and manipulation games and step kids who are incredibly selfish.

sometimes i feel like i should just leave to get away from all the games but i love himand we have a 3yr old together, so its really complicated.

his kids tell him they want me to leave or they wont visit him, they tell him that they are sooooo scared of me and that i dont like them

all i have ever done is be nice and treat them with respect and put up with all of their crap.

im now at a loss as what to do anymore.

the worst part is that their dad doesnt want to be the bad guy and doesnt want to lose them.

the way i see it he never really had them they have had him on strings running around after their wants et.

he doesnt seem to understand how much this is affecting our realationship and destoying our family.

so believe me you are not alone.

i wish i could give you some advice but i have no idea what to do about these sort of people.

hope things get better for you. : )

at least stop spending money on them, that will make you feel better
