Today, I received yet another letter from a relative bitching me out for not involving my parents in my wedding. The parents who showed no interest in our relationship and then yelled at my fiancé and me when we announced it to them, calling us stupid, naive, heathens, and mentally ill. FML

Today, I was talking to my mom about how my fiancé has been ignoring me and that I didn't know why. Turns out, my mother told him that I was too much of a handful, was mentally disturbed and also cheating on him. Just so I wouldn't move out and would keep cleaning her house for free. FML

Today, wanting to break up with my boyfriend, I invited him to dinner with my parents. I was sure they'd hate him, which would give me the excuse I needed. They ended up loving him, and now they won't stop mentioning marriage. FML

Today, my husband and I came clean to his overbearing parents about our private wedding. It started with them accusing him of making rash decisions, and somehow descended into an argument amongst themselves that ended with his mom deciding to divorce his dad. FML

Today, my parents told me, after 30 years of marriage, that they are getting a divorce. I went to my boyfriend's apartment because I needed some comfort. While sobbing to him, he decided to dump me on the spot because my reaction to the news was "immature" and he wants an "adult" relationship. FML

Today, I got into a fight with my mom because she believes that my fiancé is "irresponsible" and "immature". I stormed out and drove back home. There, I walked in on my fiancé and his friends. They were in a heated and almost violent argument over which CSI is the best. The wedding's next month. FML

Today, my family got mad at me for eloping and not inviting them to my wedding. Even though they admitted they wouldn't have gone anyway. FML

Sounds like it's time to start loving them from a distance.

At least you stood up for yourself. It's your life, and your decision. They have no right to demand such things.

Hopefully they don't have a real reason for wanting him gone. You have to make your own choices and do what makes you happy. If he makes you happy, then he needs to be in your life.

Good thing they weren't hard headed and stubborn. had it been my parents they probably would have went through with the divorce then blamed me the rest of their lives

not agreeing with either side, but are these people usually rational or are they always nutty and extreme? are they seeing "red flags" that maybe you're not seeing? maybe have a sit down and ask what the problem is. if not, forget them. live your life the way you see fit.

Your parents don't like him because he treats you well, makes sure you have everything you need, and he listens to you? Or maybe he's actually an ass hole and you're too blind to see he's a creep?

You're what makes me still have hope in loyal relationships. I'm glad you stood up for yourself and your relationship when your parents even threatened divorce, even if it was a bluff.
