Future In-Laws

Whatever happened to showing respect? Seriously, a fucking dog?!? I love my dog as much as anyone, but this is just a little ridiculous, folks.[/quote]

I show respect when someone acts normal. Her Mom can be rather controlling and she hates her step-dad to no end.
My last GF Dad demanded respect and I had no problem giving it to him, because he actually acted like a normal human being. Hard to describe.

again, we took the time to visit them rather recently, they chose not to be home.

It explains the high divorce rates.[/quote]

Yes.

I have never found my husband sexier or more manly than when he’s been gracious to members of my family who have frankly at times not deserved it. He treats my alcoholic uncle with the same respect he offers my accomplished cousins. He does it because he loves me, and because if someone is going to treat my family badly he feels it should be me and on my own behalf, not because of him.

My husband is a pretty strong guy. There is no one in my extended family he couldn’t squash if he desired to do so. That he is instead gentle and yielding toward them is to me another example of his strength. It makes me feel loved and protected.

I was ready to write this thread off as a ‘26 is the new 18’ thread, but now I realize it’s a ‘Looking For Some Opinions That Agree With Mine So I Can Continue To Do What I’m Already Doing’ thread.

I decided it wasn’t a ‘26 is the new 18’ thread, because when I was 26 I kinda agreed more with JFit and those posters saying, “Lay down the law with 'em now, and if they don’t like it, fuck 'em.” And it’s been 12 years since I was 26, so nothing’s really changed on that front.

I’m now sure it’s a ‘Looking For Some Opinions That Agree With Mine So I Can Continue To Do What I’m Already Doing’ thread, because if you look at the people with successful marriages and relationships with their in-laws you see they are all telling JFit to quit his whining and go visit the in-laws. On the other side of the argument are people that had fucked up relationships with their in-laws and they’re, for the most part, telling him he’s in the right.

So, what does our protagonist do? Finds solace in the advice of the people with the fucked up relationships, while telling those with good relationships, ‘you just don’t understand.’

It makes me think of those kids that weigh 135lbs that come on here looking for an advanced lifting program because deadlifts, squats and bench presses while eating a shit ton of food won’t work for them.

And those people that have built impressive physiques explain all they need are deadlifts, squats and bench presses while eating a shit ton of food, but then some other people who haven’t built impressive physiques tell them to do superty-duperty droppity-droop sets, umptity-dumptity-doodledy’s and watch your fat intake while taking a picture of yourself holding a shoe.

This of course made me think of Dances With Wolves. The scene where the Indians are all in the tent trying to decide what to do and Wind in His Hair wants to kill Kevin Costner, but Kicking Bird doesn’t and they argue for a little while, but then the Chief says Wind in His Hair and Kicking Bird will both go visit Kevin Costner.

Well…if that was today, Wind in His Hair would say, “BUT DOOD YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND” and ride out and kill Costner.

So, basically, it’s unfortunate we don’t have a tribal existence because then I would be Chief and Emily would be one of my 9 or 10 concubines and I would tell JFit to go visit his damn in-laws to be while Emily smokes my piece pipe and all would be well in the world.
