And yet it irked your wife's parents to no end that you make her happy? That is truly odd of them and very selfish...I agree otherwise with your post.

How may I ask, did they try to kill you?



what can I say. They are selfish people

Her uncle tried to run me over with a truck, tried to throw her out of a moving vehicle, tried to run me off the road. Her grandpa and uncle came hunting for me with rifles, chasing me through town. T'was a riot indeed

the things we do for love

Too bad for them old pickups are no match for mustangs

I've managed to force respect. One with shear intellectual prowess and the other with simple brutality. Its a potent combination

@Tar Said

just be courteous, kind and true to yourself. Whatever happens, I'm sure it won't be worse than the first time I met my wife's family. They LITERALLY tried to kill me

They still hate me

I'm still married to my wife

It just irked them to no end how happy I make her... but then started to win them over... kinda

So be yourself. In the end, the only thing that matters and the only true measure of how good a choice you are for their little boy/girl is how happy you make them. A good parent will want to make sure you take care of their child, and not be concerned about how much you appease them (the parent).


Good points well made. My dad likes him because he makes me so happy, which being such a daddy's girl, my old man was always going to be hard to win over. He gave my las the talk and everything is peachy. He likes him which is important to me. Hope I make as good an impression as he did on my folks. How did your in laws almost kill you and was it intentional?!

I'm surprised you associate with them at all after that. lol You're a very loving husband indeed to give another chance for the sake of your wife. Right selfless.

post #46 tells some of the story... and it was very intentional. They REALLY did not like me as my existence is a threat to their ideology, but I don't want to make this a thread about me. I want to wish the OP the best of luck and offer whatever tidbits of wisdom i've gained from my misadventures

I don't really. I've always established myself as the guardian of my wife since I am physically more menacing than her as well has very much capable of protecting her. She deals with them occasionally since her grandma is very old and she still wants to see how her baby brother (who is still at home) is doing.

I'm merely the threat that lingers in the shadow preventing any... "indiscretion"... on their part
