DP and I have been together for nearly 9 years and we are settled, happy, no problems or anything. DP was married for 2 years and divorced over 10 years before we met and his wife had been having an affair with his friend before running off, so that's all over and done with and she didn't come out of it looking too good. DP has absolutely no feelings or resect for his ex, especially as she emptied the bank and took many of his personal possessions when she left, .
DP is the youngest in his family and has 2 much older sisters who always want to be in charge of everything, which DP usually ignores to have a quiet life. I have never had an problems or arguments with either sister or his parents and we seem to get along fine although Ive always suspected that both SILs are not as nice as they act in public. The oldest SIL has just moved back in with the parents to look after them as they are both frail and have the start of dementia. So far, not a problem.
I went to the PILs house on Fathers Day and found that both SILs have put up lots of family and memory photos on the walls, all framed and all screwed in the wall. It looked really personal and nice until I found a large photo of DPs WEDDING. Its screwed on the wall in a place that's now impossible to reach behind the furniture even if I did try to unscrew the thing. There aren't any photos of DP and I.
I am F LIVID. DP says not to get upset or involved and that his sisters wont mean anything bad. I think he should tell them to take the picture down or do it himself but he is so concerned about not upsetting his parents who will be very confused and stressed by it all that I know he wont do it. That bit I understand but its not helping me at all. Every visit to PILs is now horrible and I have to look at the bloody photo on the wall as it faces the sofa. I feel embarrassed and humiliated and completely rubbished in front of everyone.
Before I say anything to them can I please ask others if they think that I'm being too touchy and overly sensitive or if I am right in thinking that DPs sisters are BITCHES. Its driving my head insane.
