Hi I am really stuck I really can’t stand my daughter partner. He is just so rude and talks down to her and other people. As much as I love my daughter I can’t even speak to him… What would you ladies do ??

How old is your daughter? If she's an independent adult tread carefully. If she feels you're making her choose she's like to choose her partner over you.

I would just be polite and civil to him.
There is nothing for you to do, other than that.

You are a member of the Welcoming Party and not the Selection Committee - as my father used to mutter to himself about some of the people me and my siblings brought home.

You don't have to be his best friend but you do need to be polite and hope your daughter will realise he's an obnoxious twat sooner rather than later.

My daughter had a partner I disliked from the moment I met him.(he wasn't rude he was evil)
I first we tolerated him because I didn't want to lose my daughter. Eventually, I told her he was a fucking prick she agreed split up with him then got back together repeatedly for the next 3 years.
Probably best to say nothing and hope it doesn't last.

I think this is good advice. Must be really hard for you..... I love my son in law to bits....but he gets on my nerves at times and I just bite my tongue
