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 :)

And your parents know how your ex-boyfriend treated you if they do and they still think that was a better choice then I don't know how the relationship lasted so long

It's your life, Marry who you want. Your parents clearly don't see what you do in your husband

Was your ex manipulative? If he was, he might've manipulated your parents to think he was a decent guy that could never do you any harm.

Your life doesn't suck but your parents sure do.

Do your parents know of your ex-husband's abuse? Otherwise, they are pretty ******* stupid to say that. If they do know...Remind them. And tell them to STFU! If they don't. Inform them.

Your parents should really keep their noses in their own relationship. I hope your husband handles this well.

Maybe you should leave your boyfriend with them for a week and make them pay therapy bills if you got therapy

Sometimes parents don't always know best or have your best interest

When you're reading FML for the funny FMLs, and suddenly you come across one that is serious...Sorry OP, I have this same issue with my mom to this day, and I've been married a year.
