Partners family gathering

12 replies

So I went along with my partner to his family gathering, I only went because of the kids. I don't like because I know they don't like me (just pure jealousy)

We arrived 1st & then later partners sister & husband arrived & we got up to hug etc I was with my little DD & we greeted & he said "she's prettier than you". To be honest, I am not sure why he said that & why I am even thinking of it at all AIBU?

Is there side comments & jealousy making unreasonable?

So you don't get on with any of them including sil and bil?

The comment is a odd thing to say. What's your concern? That it's a creepy thing to say to/about a child? Or that it's a sly dig about your attractiveness?

Whatever the meaning it definitely wasn't a compliment.

He’s an arse.
Wants you to feel uncomfortable.
This is is way of getting the upper hand over you status wise.

If only you could go back in time and reply…

’Yes and she has better manners, conversation and sense of humour than you’ - flounce off.

No I don't get on with them although all very civil when we meet which I hardly do since I noticed that they don't like me and I can't be investing my time and energy with people that dislike me due to jealousy.

They all have a family chat group minus me (all of them, his siblings+their partners) without me and silly partner didn't say nothing at all until I mentioned it and he was very defensive which he does all time when it comes to his family (they can do no wrong at all to him even when it blatantly obvious)

Stupid foolish man and people

Why are they jealous of you?

Hibiscrubbed · 28/08/2023 07:41

Sorry, who said she’s prettier than you?

Either way, your husband sounds awful. This won’t improve you know.

Richmondgal · 28/08/2023 07:42

Ignore it
it is just irrelevant

CtotheG2023 · 28/08/2023 10:33

@Hibiscrubbed my partners sisters husband said my 8 year old daughter is prettier than me. Just wondering as i think it's an awkward thing to say and trying to figure it out

If it’s civil when you meet (which you claim it is) then how do you know they don’t like you? And why do you think they’re jealous? Jealous of what?

The group chat thing sounds like no big deal at all to me. DP’s family had one which for a long time I wasn’t added to, but I didn’t assume there was anything weird going on or that they all hated me. I just said “How come I’m not in the group chat when SIL’s added BIL?” and my DP said “Oh, I don’t know really. SIL set it up for me, her and MIL and then added BIL later. Did you want to be added, then? I never really about it; I’ll ask SIL to add you.”

You sound very paranoid and confrontational.

@10HailMarys

I am not paranoid moreover, I have had a cousin of theres approach me in the past to tell me to ignore all the negative spiteful things they say about me but the person never said exactly what he's heard. Maybe I should have asked the person what exactly was said/what he heard but I didn't and I guess what I knew without a doubt was just reconfirmed.

@tuvamoodyson

They are all jealous because I do things about their standards and I got a house mortgage free. That was my crime🤷🏽‍♀️
