My husbands family have never accepted me

Why would they idolize someone that hurt him?

Well, after this is done…there will be no more updates on the unfortunate Miss Wanda :woman_shrugging:t2::woman_shrugging:t2:

What’s weird to me is that he’s allowed them to keep updating him.
Like really? And you for that matter. Hell no.

They sound very toxic, I don’t know how your marriage works, but my husband and I both draw a boundary and keep negative or toxic people away from our marriage doesn’t matter who you are (mother, father, sibling) if you bring nothing but negativity you are not welcome in our home.

So the mom and sis are petty and disrespectful. But also, so is your husband… why hasn’t HE told them to stop. It’s been 30 years of him being disrespectful too. He knows they’re doing this and he continues to allow his wife to be put through this!? Nah, he needs to tell them stop completely or F*ck off.

I have been married 40 yes . My MIL did not like me at all and he had 4 sisters that didn’t like me either! Well we had been married 28 years and she found out she had cancer.stage 4 breast. Well she had 4 girls and a daughter in law that she totally adored (not me). Well guess who took care of her until her last breath(me). Daughters and DIL nowhere around ! I wouldn’t turn my back on her but she seen who was there the hated one ! My husband passed almost 2 years ago and to this day they have nothing to do with me or my kids ! But I showed who was the better/bigger person !!

If it was me I think I would tell my husband that he needs to tell his mom and sisters that if they want to continue being in his life they need to treat you with the respect that you deserve. He should tell them that if they can’t be respectful to you that they are no longer welcomed in your home and not call with updates anymore or he would change his number and block them on social sites. I doubt very seriously that they would want to be left out of his life and that could very well do they job. They don’t need to know if he’s serious or if he is bluffing them. But he needs to stand up and back his wife. After all 30 years is way to long for him to let you go through this

30 years is a very long time! Your husband should have stood up to his family for you a longgg long time ago! I am so sorry that you have had to deal with this. Your husband needs to stand up for you and put his family in place! They need to respect you as his wife. Don’t ever let anyone try to tell you how to raise your own kids. I’m sure they are grown now and it’s sad that you had to put up with that. Talk with your husband about this entire issue. You deserve better! It’s never too late to put yourself first! As for the ex I wouldn’t worry but you need to stand up for yourself and so should your husband

I think it’s weird you want him to go to the funeral of an ex from over 30 years ago that he didn’t keep in contact with.

There’s no rooms for exs in your life. I find it so inconsiderate when people keep updating on exs, it’s so disrespectful to you both. If you said something in the beginning and it continued then I would have had nothing to do with them.

Before thinking he should go to her service you should make sure Wanda’s family and husband is ok with it.

Yeah, your husband should have shut that down decades ago. He shouldnt let anyone disrespect his wife, family or not…

30 years later and they STILL were at him above his ex? Build a bridge and get over it! Smh… I think that if he decides to go, let him know your thoughts about how her husband and kids would feel, and if he still decides to go, then let him go… he might learn the hard (and probably embarrassing) way.

I would tell them it’s been 30 years. Nobody gives a fuck about Wanda.

Congrats on your 30 years, we just made it that far ourselves on Valentines Day. You have a good oversight and acceptance of whats going on despite of it. His parents can be reminded that its going to be you and your husband burying them when the day comes, and unless they want buried next to Wanda with “in memory of Wanda…” written on their tombstones, maybe they should wake up and realize its not 1992 anymore and get with a program. Seriously, I would say that right to their faces like “this can be arranged easily, just say that name again and its going on your tombstone when you pass, next to hers so at least it looks relevant”. My inlaws sometimes rake up old ashes too but not like that.

I’d have cussed somebody out by now.

It’s sad that she passed but hopefully your mil will move on and stop interfering.
And I don’t think you need to push your husband to go to the funeral

You’ve put up with the crap for thirty years and now that she’s dead you are getting upset about it ??a little late in the game to get miffed …might as well play it out to it’s conclusion …but a gentle warning… unfortunately their behavior will not change now that she has passed …they will just put her higher on a pedistal…it’s up to you how much disrespect you want to continue to put up with from them and yes your husband as well…only you can answer that :disappointed:

Your husband needs to shut it down. That’s weird they’ve continued to update him for 30+ years on someone who betrayed him… And especially since they both moved in and married someone else. Your husband needs to have a talk with them about respect boundaries, respecting his marriage, and respecting you, or they need to stay out of your lives. That’s 30 years too many of toxic behavior

I would have done cut them out of my life. Your not married to them and I’d have my say to them about something so childish. 30 years down the road apparently he never acted on anything the kept him up dated on, your the one he apparently wants for the rest of his life so the two of them could go fish in a water bucket!! You hold your head up keep loving your man and don’t let them walk on you!!!

I think it’s time for his mother and sister to put on your big girl panties and except the fact that he’s not with her, she cheated on him so he chose to not be with her anymore. As they say, once a cheater always a cheater. That being said, y’all need to sit down and talk it out. I tried doing that with my mother-in-law. She loved me and it toward me at first 10 for some reason she 360. Cording to us that she did the same thing to her. I don’t know what her problem was and is. I have done nothing to her to have her treat me in any ill matter. She’s like bold face straight to my face as well as my husband about things and has not apologized for it.

It’s lame, but I’d let him go, and I’d join him and comfort him.

Tell your hubby that he doesn’t have to go if he doesn’t feel comfortable, but also let your in laws know that you don’t appreciate their pushing the issue so much. They only kept doing it all these years because you allowed it. I learned from experience that what you allow will continue.

You’ve been married 30 years and met after high school, u have to be at least 50, which makes his mom old enough to not be around for too much more nonsense :zipper_mouth_face:. Let it go, he has proven he’s where he wants to be after 30 years. Tell his mom and sister off one good time tho just because they should hear it from you. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

RIP Wanda. If I was her family I would be weirded out by 40 year old exs family all showing up. Move on!

Also, your husband sounds like a doormat to his mom and sis. He should have told them 30 years ago to stfu about wanda already :sweat_smile:

It’s a Good thing Wanda has gone to the Lord, keep ignoring for the sake of your kids make those in-laws feel useless by taking whatever trial they bring your way irrelevant don’t waste your energy trying to prove anything be at peace

Encourage him to tell his mom and sister to stop mentioning it.
No - he should not go …

I think that 35 years are way to many of you to waste your valuable time on this. It’s very unfortunate however. What are you looking for at this point? If you have been carrying this with you for this long you have much bigger issues. This man is your husband and chose you. Respect that

Man don’t waste your time with miserable bitches my man’s family hates me because I’m passionate about him and I don’t let them use him so no forget that

Sounds like my husbands mother. He would not be attending. He has told his mother multiple times stop talking about his exs. Along with talking and being friends with them. That boundary he made, they can’t respect it then do not associate yourself with them. Family means nothing. Toxicity comes from all people, mostly family….

Your husband should have put both of them in their place. His life is with you!

It seems that you have been doing a good job at ignoring them over the years. That’s the reason why they continue with their toxic ways. They’re pained and don’t realize it. It seems that your husband has your back and you have him. Now stop the idle worry on the unimportant toxic elements.

I mean it’s been 30 years. Does your husband ever tell them to knock that shit off?

They wouldn’t be allowed in my house. Not allowed around our kids. No holidays, birthdays or anything else. They can go over to Wandas instead lol. And my husband would be clear that when he speaks to them he’s not to mention me or our kids to them, and nothing about our life, our relationship or OUR family. Otherwise he can go to Wandas house too…if her husband doesn’t mind lol cause I wouldn’t be having any of that going on in my life. If they like Wanda better they can keep it to themselves. Stand up for yourself. Hubby needs to choose. I’d say he can have his weird ass family and warm fuzzies for his ex from 30yrs ago, or he can have me. But not both. Hell no. Your man sounds like a wimp. How sad is he. Can’t stand up to them for his own wife!!! That would bother me the most. If I were you I’d set him straight on how a real man would act. And if he can’t muster it. Let the door hit him in the ass on his escorted way out the door. (Yeah that should be your new man escorting him out the door). He doesn’t need updates on funeral arrangements. When they call with updates HE should be saying Why the f@$& are you telling me this?.. I don’t care and don’t want to know…so don’t mention it to me again. If he can’t do that. Well I woulda left 29 yrs ago lol but better late then never. Then him and his sis and his mommy can snuggle and talk about Wanda together :face_vomiting:

First off they’re nuts. Second Wanda is dead so now it’s over unless they plan on trying to convince him to be with a corpse. These people are seriously toxic and miserable.

Apparently the family doesn’t believe in loyalty to your spouse. Shame on them. I’d tell them to shut up and focus on themselves and to have some respect for you! You are his wife not Wanda and for a reason! Well on the other side you shouldn’t hear about to many more updates.

It sounds like the crazy mother in law and sister in law need to get some professional help. I wouldn’t have been able to do what you have done for 30 years.

You can’t change people. And to be honest your husband can’t change them either. The whole your husband needs to put them in their place or he should have shut it down a long time ago. Is quite ridiculous considering the fact that you can’t change people. You have been married to him 30yrs you are the one he loves. In life you have to learn to pick and choose your battles. All those years you allowed his family to disrespect you. You said NOTHING. You were born with a voice and you didn’t use it. It is ok to defend yourself from anybody that is disrespecting you. Family or not. But like I said you got to learn to choose your battles wisely.

HE should have put his foot down 35 years ago when he last saw her and they started giving their opinions. At ANY point in your relationship he could have told them off and should have or cut them out. It’s weird they’ve stalked her all this time and thought that she should be relevant after cheating on him. They should have been angry with her not infatuated.

Let him go to the funeral if he feels he should but if I’ve learned anything in my short years with crazies they’re gonna make it out that “he regrets not giving it another chance since he went” or make some story up about how they think he should feel emotionally. My husband had no say in his own emotions for 7 years so we cut them off and now they’re both best friends with his Ex.

I’d move far far away.

He needs to man up and stand up to them tbh.

Sorry not sorry! Got to have a sense of humor at times.

He has to tell them he dont care, he has to be the one to do it.
