I have been busy and OH's family now all hates me OH's younger brother (he is 18) has just begun dating a 24 year old who has 3 children. We do not really approve of her for a bunch of reasons, such as the fact she dated and cheated on OH's best friend only months before, she also was trying to be with OH's other friend, she lied to OH's friend about getting pregnant and having a miscarriage (we know its a lie because I am friends with one of her best friends and she told me she made it up to try and keep him with her), she never bothers to have her kids around her, and when I talked to her the other day she made it seem like she wished she didn't have her kids just so she could be with OH's younger brother. Mostly we are just worried because he is supposed to be going away to college in the fall and the way he is getting attached to her we don't think he will go anymore. As well as we do not think he should be involved with her do to all the lying and cheating she has done in the past.
Well they hate me now cause we invited OH's younger brother to the beach on Sunday for fathers day. We only wanted him there but of course he had to bring his girlfriend too (of course she didn't have her kids with her, she never has in all the times we have all gotten together). OH was furious when he saw her there and told me to tell her the truth if she asked if he approved and what not. Of course the moment she sits down she brings it up. I tried saying IDK at first but she kept pestering so I told her that no we did not think it was a good idea for OH's younger brother to be with her and we did not approve. She went on and on asking why and that was the only thing she talked about the entire time. So when they went home (same time we did) she I guess spoke to him about how I said his entirely family didn't approve and I was really cruel and all this other stuff. I was not cruel in the least. She pestered me the whole time while I was trying to watch my daughter. I was not really in the mood to be talking about it but I answered her questions politely and even said we wouldn't get involved and it was his decision but we didn't care for them being together. I even mentioned I didn't know how everyone else felt. Although I did know as OH's dad flat out called her a W**RE the other day behind her back when she came over. But apparently I had no right to say anything and that I am not apart of the family after 4 years and she is more of the part of the family then I will ever be. Of course OH stuck up for me and OH's nana completely agrees with me and loves me to death and we will still go visit but the whole situation just stinks. I considered them more of a family then my own family. OH's younger brother has always been like a brother to me I loved there whole family even with all their flaws. But I guess I need to move on. I just wonder if I was really wrong with what I did. OH says no but I hate losing what felt like my family as well. His dad flat out said you and Athena are but she is not a part of OUR family. OH texted back and said no you are no longer a part of OUR family if you are going to act like this she did nothing wrong.... But I still feel off about it...
Oh hunny! It's always difficult dealing with OH's family. Even if all of them love you, there'll always be that moment when they turn to you and say "well, you're not really family...." Of course this situation is bad because it's like when a friend goes out with someone completely unsuitable. You can't tell them because a) They don't want to hear it and b) if it does all work out, you're always the one who doesn't like such and such. It's the wedge that ruins relationships
