My BIL and SIL sent us a long
video of their kids, family, new house, various family events,
etc. Included were two segments with the "contents"
of their toilet. I stopped the video before the end, so
for all I know there was more. The segments were not filmed
by one of their kids, but by my BIL (I could tell because he narrated
with descriptions of the "contents").

My MIL tells everyone
that I control DH, yet she wants to name OUR son what SHE wants.
She decides who can come to DS's birthday party, and she told DH
not to let me answer his phone because SHE didn't want me to answer
it!!!!! Am I the controlling one??? HELLO?? She told DH that
he wasn't ALLOWED to marry me, or else he wouldn't be in the family
anymore!! He was a 31 year old man!!!!

I just celebrated 5 years
with my DF. We were supposed to get married this past fall,
on our anniversary date. But, my DF's brother was murdered
this past winter, so my DF postponed our wedding. Five months
later, I found out that the real reason for the postponement had
nothing to do with his brother. It was really because his
mother and father told him not to marry me.
Signed - Real Unreasonable
Reason
RESPONSE: Real Unreasonable Reason
And, that is exactly why you should not marry this "man".
RESPONSE: Real Unreasonable Reason
I would really think twice about marrying this man if that's the
way he lets himself be dictated to by his parents.
RESPONSE: Real Unreasonable Reason
I hope that you are not with this person anymore. His parents are
horrible for telling him to dump you, but he is the bigger jerk
for considering it. Get rid of him, pronto!
RESPONSE: Real Unreasonable Reason
Give him back the ring and enjoy life without someone else controlling
you. And, then, when you are ready, go find someone who actually
WANTS to be with you. Good luck.
RESPONSE: Real Unreasonable Reason
You've been granted a lucky reprieve. Drop the mama's boy *now*.
Do *not* marry this man. You *will* regret it the rest of your
life.
RESPONSE: Real Unreasonable Reason
If you know for a fact that this was the real reason that he postponed
the wedding, kick this dolt to the curb using metal-toed jackboots.
RESPONSE: Real Unreasonable Reason
Actually, this doesn't seem completely unreasonable. I would imagine
MIL and FIL were not thinking very straight after their son was
murdered. I know that I wouldn't be. Maybe your DH also wasn't
ready to go and have a joyful, special day when he, too, was still
reeling from the loss of his brother. You've waited five years,
surely it wouldn't hurt to wait a little longer until the first
agonies of grief are past
RESPONSE: Real Unreasonable Reason
If his parents told him not to marry you, and he "postponed"
the wedding, it's time for you to pack your bags and walk away before
you waste any more time on this loser. He is a loser, no matter
how you feel about him, or how much time you have invested in this
relationship. Cut your losses and move on. Somewhere there is
a man who will stand up for you.
RESPONSE: Real Unreasonable Reason
You don't say whether you heard this direct from the parents or
through a third party, so I'm taking the "real" reason
with a grain of salt. If you really believe that his parents object
to you, get some premarital counseling with your DF to work through
this BEFORE the wedding. But, either way, cut these grieving parents
some slack. If one of my children were murdered, I certainly wouldn't
be ready for a wedding in the family a few months later, either.
RESPONSE: Real Unreasonable Reason
The fact that he listened to and obeyed his parents is what you
should really be concerned about. He obviously does not love and
care about you all that much, or he would've told his parents to
go to he!!.
