Her fault

2) She stole a credit card from one of her ex’es and racked up 8 grand in charges [/quote]
Her fault
Again
His fault
That’s right, this one is…her fault.
Well… there is always that point in the wedding where you can “speak now or forever hold your peace.”
SPEAK!
For some reason, people never speak up at this point when they know they should. You don’t want to look back when they are going through their divorce and think “I really could have saved the past 5 years of his life if I had just said something.”
Worst case scenario, you speak up, they get married anyway, and they don’t want to spend time with you. (score!) When they do get divorced, it will be revealed how wise you really are.
I wish I had been more vocal against my best friend’s GF several years ago. She’s a hardcore feminist.
Now that they’re married, he’s lost his hair, he’s spineless, and I’m sure his balls are gone as well. He needs permission to do everything. When they come over to my house and I get into arguments with her, he just sits there with a smile on his face (as if to say he’s glad SOMEBODY is going up against her).

- She’s very loud
- She stole a credit card from one of her ex’es and racked up 8 grand in charges
- She smokes
- She shacked up with my bro in law (with her 9 year old kid) after knowing him for only 4 months
- She’s just not my kind of person.
I generally don’t really care if someone is loud, steals, smokes, jumps into co-habitating with strangers or isn’t my kind of person, but I don’t want to have to spend every frigging holiday and b-day with someone like that. [/quote]
I haven’t met her (obviously) but I can tell from your description that being around her would suck the soul out of me.
We took the happy couple out to dinner last night…she’s not so bad…what’s kinda bizarre though is my bro in law kept saying they might get married next year, or the year after that…it reminded me of when you were in high school and there was always that one burnout couple in the vo-tech program that were engaged from 9th grade til graduation and they were going to get married once his heating/ac business took off.

Wow, you made such a big deal about her and now you’re saying she’s not too bad? You were pretty vehement in your dislike of this person, what changed?

Thanks for weighing in.

Why? Because he doesn’t want a fat broad in his life. Is that so bad?
Generally, I’m of the thought that it’s none of your business who another person dates, unless they disrupt your lives negatively.

Me too.
I guess I started this thread out of frustration…I felt like my brother in law was out of his fucking mind for being with this person…I still don’t really get it…he’s divorced 2 years, has 2 kids ages 20 and 21 that are majorly failing to launch and he decided it was a good idea to get engaged…I dont’ understand, but he seems happy, so, if he’s happy, I’m happy.
I’d like to take a moment and thank everyone that contributed to this thread over the past 3 months. I know some may think that it ‘=FAIL’, but I think we’ve had some really good dialogue. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we almost had it all. Just like Bogey and Bacall.

No, he just made such a big deal about tearing this person down, then after one night, everything is fine. Seems like he overreacted a little in the first place. I mean, how would this person feel if she saw this thread?
I think we can all try to do better about not making snap judgements about people.

I agree…ergo…I am not going to consider you an asshat based on this alone…
