*wants to vomit*

My mom just called and talked to J's mom and for some reason I find that highly unsettling. J's mom thinks I'm very quiet. OMG, I'm too quiet. Me! It's SO TRUE. I'm horrible with real people. Like a robot, only less charismatic. I've known these folks for three years, and I can hardly hold a conversation with them. I'm such a freak.

My brother's fiance and my mom are like best buds or something, and I can't even be alone with J's mom or I start sweating.

So none of this matters, of course, except I'm going to have to somehow involve his mom in all the wedding planning, and it's like agonizing just thinking about picking up the phone.

I keep thinking they hate me behind my back, and J doesn't help because he thinks my fears are hilarious and often says that they DO hate me, and then laughs, because he's evil and I hate him. So does anyone have any in-law stories to help me feel not quite so freakish?

I'm going to worry about this all night.

My in-laws detest me because I am:

a. Jewish
b. American
c. Outspoken
d. Fat

mg has been disowned by about 80% of his family because of his relationship with me. He has cousins who thought that him having an American girlfriend was the coolest thing in the world, until they found out I was Jewish. They literally haven't spoken to me since, even when we've been in the same room.

mg's parents refuse to believe that our relationship is going to last. They talk about his future and I'm not in it. They also do whatever they can to sabotoge my mental and emotional health.

We were given a wedding/anniversary party in Switzerland because most of the extended family hadn't come to the wedding. At the party, his dad gave a speech that didn't mention the fact that we were married or had had a wedding. He just thanked everybody for coming and told them all that there was a famous window in a room upstairs and he was going to be giving a tour of it later.

The highlight of the entire party came when we were all treated to a surprise slideshow of mg's life. Now remember, this is a party to celebrate our wedding.

The slideshow went through mg's childhood - mg playing drums, mg playing soccer, etc. The final picture was of him the day he went to college. We started *dating* in college. Apparently that's when his life stopped in his family's eyes.

By that point, there was really nothing to do about it but laugh. Luckily his parents live in Nepal and the rest of them all live in Switzerland, so basically I avoid them all as much as humanly possible.

Okay, seriously, those people need some lessons in being human. Although it looks like they probably aren't human, but human-shaped robots - the uncool, demon kind. *hugs you*
