Today, I overheard my parents talking about my husband. Apparently, they think he's a nice guy and all, but they don't really see him as "husband material." They think I would have been better off with my ex, who doesn't have a job and hurt me both physically and mentally. FML

Good thing that it's your decision and not theirs. As long as you're happy, I'm sure they'll come around.

Unfortunately, people who abuse their SO's are typically very charming and manipulative to everyone around them. If your husband makes you happy, they will be fine. But your husband does not have to prove himself to them, as marriage was a decision between you and him :)

Hopefully they don't know about his abuse. If they do and still recommend him move to another state country or continent. Additionally turn the bastard in he's probably hurting someone else already.

Don't let them get to you. It's your life to live, not theirs. :)

Your parents should see what he's truly like and they'll see your husband is a better man.

If they don't know about the abuse, then tell them. If they don't believe you, then they are too stupid to see the truth when its right in front of them. If they know of the abuse and are still saying your ex is better, then they are just assholes and you should move far away from them. I've heard of parents and loved ones trying to get the abusive ex back with the victim, regardless if the victim found someone else or not.

Your parents are in denial and a little ignorant. I am glad you were able to move on from your difficult and violent first marriage and found some one better. Don't listen to them. They apparently have no idea what they are talking about

If a boyfriend ever hit me or abused my mentally, my parents would do everything to help get me OUT of that relationship, regardless of his charm. I'd never dream of parents pushing their daughter (or son) back to such a relationship. Good thing you've found a good husband OP, best of luck !

Don't be a jerk, they're her parents. Of all the people in the world who can hurt you, parents are the best at it.

So… you've realized what morons your parents are and now know to never take any of their misinformed, out-of-line "advice". I don't see the problem, here.
