I'm so sick of defending myself to my future mother-in-law. I'm actually pretty fed up with everything she does. I hear the same stories over and over again. We have the cutest gay couple who live a few houses down and I hear how gays are "wrong and going to hell" on a daily fucking basis. She knows that I disagree with her (which is why she brings up the gay thing so often). I'm sick of debating about it. I'm sick of hearing about how her daughter is throwing her life away because she's marrying a black guy (we're white). Isn't that kind of prehistoric? Haven't people moved on from the interracial marriage thing?!
She'll make a comment that she knows will piss me off then watch my reaction. Well yesterday with family over, I noticed her staring at me when she made some joke about gays. So I called her out. In front of everyone. I looked her dead in the eyes and said, "Why do you always look at me when this subject comes up?"
Everyone got silent. It was pretty dramatic.
"Because I want to see how you react."
What a fucking lunatic!
Not wanting to make a scene in front of my boyfriend's family (whom I love dearly and they love me by the way) I just reassured her again that she is never going to change my mind on the issue. I swear just thinking about it gets me raging all over again.
I'm sick of her commenting on everything I do, say, or eat. She's starting to get the hint that I don't want fatty, southern fried dinners. After wasting half a dinner plate of buttery mashed potatoes, she finally got the hint and tells me to fix my own plate.
The more she pushes the harder I resist. Maybe I just like playing the devil's advocate when it comes to her thoughts and opinions. I like to disagree with her because I don't want to be her. Ever.
Sounds like a crazy situation. hopefully it won't be long before you guys can get your own place and get away from that.
ReplyDeleteThe stress isn't good on you and you shouldn't have to go through that.
Thinking of you. Stay strong.
