When I brought my GF home to meet my parents. I was in the kitchen making lunch while parents talked to her and they made her sit on the floor to talk and talking down at her. I walked in and saw it so we left. Didn’t go back home for 2 years.

My ex bf’s parents didn’t like the fact that i wasn’t white (I’m asian). His mom literally told him , “she’s super sweet and seems amazing, but too bad she’s not caucasian” and i said “and too bad Susan doesn’t know how to season her food, but here we are!”

I wore red lipstick for a dinner and they told me I wore it because I wanted the attention from everyone, wore a bikini to tan in and was asked to change so the dad and brother weren’t “tempted”

My husband told me to accept my dream job knowing we would have to move 1 1/2 hours away from his family (which he is very supportive of me and my choices🥰) and as we were packing up our things and loading up the vehicle, his dad comes over red faced and angry and told me I was the devil for taking his son away from him…he was 22 at the time. Hubby defended me and our decision to move and has been peaceful (in our lives) since we’ve moved 🥰

I had a miscarriage. I drove myself to the hospital bleeding profusely. My partner's mother told me - don't tell him you had a miscarriage, so he doesn't get stressed.

I have so many examples. First ever being when we were dating, they told him I was with him just for his money (military) - I got him out of debt & he was living in MY house for free🙃 like what
