So listen to this shit...

Man, let me tell you how fucked up my wife's family is. Let me start at the beginning. Plans were made between wife M and some of wife D's family members. Basically wife M was going to hang out with wife D's cousin for her birthday at a bar going to see a cover band that they both liked. Well, wife M was informed that her plans were cancelled because tickets were bought for the cousin's bday. The tickets were for a concert that wife M actually wanted to go to, and didn't say anything because of the plans that she already had with "family".

Now I'm in no way upset that the tickets were bought. It's a great opportunity and one that I absolutely would have taken if I had the chance. What I'm upset about is that no option was offered to wife M to see if she wanted to go. It was simply a "hey I gotta cancel plans because I got tickets to this great concert. Sorry". Yeah, that was the gist of the conversation.

Fast forward to Sunday, same family. Wife D calls her dad to wish him a happy father's day. He can't talk because he's driving. Hmmmm, can't grab the phone for a sec and talk to your daughter? Your only daughter? Wait, it gets better. The new wife informs wife D that they were on their way to dinner with my brother in law and his wife. We knew nothing of this dinner. So that means that neither father nor son thought about my wife and including her in the father's day dinner. Wow!

Is it any wonder that I really don't like most anyone in my wife's family? I mean, this isn't the first time that they've done stupid shit like this. I've held my tongue for 11 years and will continue to do so as that's what is being asked of me. Glad I have this as an outlet.

I just don't understand how they can think that those actions were ok. I mean we're not angels either I know that. There are a lot of times when we enjoy spending time with just the three of us. Maybe these people have been told no so many times that they've just given up asking. Who knows, but I do know that I'm done. I have asked wife M to not make plans with that part of the family anymore, and I've told wife D, that even though it's her brother and father, she needs to be done with them. They treat her like shit and don't take her feelings into consideration.

That's that!
