Here is\u00a0how it\u00a0all started: “My\u00a0husband and\u00a0I were invited for dinner at\u00a0my\u00a0in-laws\u2019 place yesterday. Everything was going great until my\u00a0mother-in-law brought up\u00a0my\u00a0husband\u2019s \u201cplayer\u201d phase in\u00a0high school. She was jokingly saying, \u201cHonestly, him in\u00a0High school, <strong>I\u2019d never thought he\u2019d actually settle down with somebody,\u201d and my\u00a0father-in-law was like,\u00a0\u201cYeah, even less with someone like you.\u201d\u00a0I\u00a0asked him what he\u00a0meant by\u00a0that.\n\n

He\u00a0said,\u00a0\u201cWell, you weren\u2019t exactly his type in\u00a0high school, you know?\u201d\u00a0My\u00a0husband tried to\u00a0make him stop after that, but my\u00a0FIL\u00a0added,\u00a0\u201cNot saying you weren\u2019t pretty enough\u00a0or\u00a0anything like that, you just wouldn\u2019t have caught his eyes.\u201d\n

I\u00a0got up\u00a0from the table and went to\u00a0the bathroom. I\u00a0was not even in\u00a0there for 5\u00a0minutes when my\u00a0husband knocked and told me\u00a0we\u00a0were leaving.\n\n

Once we\u00a0were home, my\u00a0husband received a\u00a0text from his mom saying that\u00a0my\u00a0reaction was childish and disrespectful\u00a0and that we\u00a0wouldn\u2019t be\u00a0invited again until I\u00a0apologized. My\u00a0husband replied that I\u2019d only apologize if\u00a0my\u00a0FIL apologized first. He\u00a0didn\u2019t get an\u00a0answer, but his sister told me\u00a0I needed to\u00a0apologize ASAP because\u00a0I was risking my\u00a0husband\u2019s relationship with his parents over a\u00a0misunderstanding.”\n\n

Surprisingly, most of\u00a0the comments support the woman\u2019s actions.\n

There was no\u00a0misunderstanding. I\u00a0guess you\u2019ll just have to\u00a0find a\u00a0way to\u00a0make it\u00a0through life without invites from your in-laws.\u00a0Top-Necessary5003\u00a0\/ Reddit
\nIt\u00a0sounds like your husband has your back, which he\u00a0should. I\u00a0wouldn\u2019t want to\u00a0return to\u00a0my\u00a0parent\u2019s house if\u00a0they treated my\u00a0wife like that. Your FIL\u00a0is playing the victim. Don\u2019t let them twist this like that. Call him and tell him you want to\u00a0apologize for bringing out the worst in\u00a0him.\u00a0SupVFace\u00a0\/ Reddit
\nThey need time to\u00a0figure out what they did.\u00a0CX500C\u00a0\/ Reddit\n

Building the right boundaries between you and your in-laws is\u00a0hard sometimes.\u00a0This article\u00a0will help you do\u00a0that.\n
