...to expect an apology from my PIL?

My PIL and I had a ridiculously petty argument over something. I snapped at him, then when I tried to walk into his house, he pushed me back so I couldn't get in. We had this vaguely comical (not actually at all funny at the time) situation where I was trying to get into the house (holding my baby ds) and he was shoving me back out of the door. He was furious. This was about 6 weeks ago and I just can't get over it. My dh has spoken to him about it but he denied it and they ended up having a big row . We are supposed to go round there for lunch next week and I just do not want to go.

Help! It is unreasonable to expect an apology?

@Helendee You started the name calling in your post from 16.32.

But you're right, I don't know you. I only know of the posts you make on here and am free to draw whatever conclusions I may from the content of those posts. I may also say that I am exceedingly comfortable with those conclusions after this conversation.

@ArnoJambonsBike

Wrong! You started it by implying I was a liar in your first post.

However, this is beyond puerile so this is my last post on this thread.
As I really don’t give a flying fuck about your opinion of me you crack on for as long as makes you happy.
Also, it’s reciprocal as I still think your behaviour is creepy.
Have a lovely evening. Wink

Pushing is obviously wrong, but why did you try to get in to their house if he had made it clear you weren't welcome after bringing the dog without forewarning?

Now now arno and helendee, stop fighting like cats and dogs, this' what brought on this whole mess in the first place....Grin

Why would you think to take a borrowed dog to someone with a resident cat? Did you discuss this beforehand?

Tiredandsick2 · 14/10/2020 02:26

When my ex pushed me holding the baby and I mentioned that to police when they were taking a statement for assault on myself that was cited as the reason for a referral to ss.

This man should not have pushed you for any reason. Holding the child endangers their safety too. No excuse for this behaviour at all.

Wouldn’t go round again, but it was bloody rude to take your dog round.

Northernparent68 · 14/10/2020 07:33

Fairly immature all round. I’m not sure any of you should have either a pet or baby.

@halflife

he pushed me with his fat stomach as well (hence: "I didn't lay a finger on her")
So he didn’t push you, what he actually did was bar your way! How did all this happen after he had shut the door?

Bloody hell, just noticed the date. Why do people keep resurrecting zombie threads.

Brefugee · 14/10/2020 08:04

the really annoying thing is that I asked dh to ring them and tell them - he said 'no' as he thinks they are pathetic about the dog.

you and your DH need to apologise for bringing a sodding dog to a house with a cat and people who ask you not to bring the dog. How don't you get that?

He shouldn't have pushed you and thanks for coming out and saying violated is the wrong word. Did he really push you hard? as in shoving, or gently pushing you away to close the door before the cat noticed the dog?

Either way, up to you if you want to go again, but if you do leave the dog at home. I wouldn't want a dog in my garden digging stuff up and crapping everywhere.

Brefugee · 14/10/2020 08:05

haha - zombie thread. OP did you ever speak to them again?
