For the last year and a half, I've been lucky and grateful
to have a mother-in-law that is supportive of her
daughter and I's relationship. A few weeks ago
she was even knee deep in talk of flying us out
to a northern state so we can get legally married.
But lately...that support seems to be dwindling.
Every since she started getting back into church
and reads her bible on a daily basis, she has been
more quick to snap at us about how "we don't need
to be throwing our relationship up in other people's
faces", even though we never have. Sure. I
am proud of what we are, so I don't mind acting like
a couple in public. No this does not mean we suck
face in the mall. We act no differently than a straight
couple. Sure. I am not ashamed of what we are,
so if someone questions my relationship status, I will
tell them about it. I do not consider this 'throwing
it up it people's faces' whatsoever.
And to top that off, she has been constantly pestering
us about meeting the missionaries that have been in
and out of our house just because she thinks they are
attractive. She woke us up a 7 this morning babbling
on about how "it's not like you have to marry them,
but it doesn't hurt to shop around...you never know
when you might change your mind" ._______.
If she starts to shun us as my parents do, we will
no longer have a place to live. I am terrified. I
am offended. I am completely and utterly hurt.
