WWYD? (long)
SIL has been dating a guy off and on for almost 2 years now. Since June, they've broken up and got back together 4 times. Each time has been a big dramatic production about how much she hates him, how horrible he is, etc. He cheated on her and lied to her about various things, and basically made her life a nightmare.
They are back together again, but her mom and sister want nothing to do with the guy, which I can completely understand. She is having to sneak around and lie to see him, and she is 21. Part of me feels really bad for her, and part of me feels like she is getting what she deserves.
I'm not a huge fan of the guy but she swears he has changed and that their relationship is much different now. I've been thinking about inviting them both over for dinner this weekend or next week before the holiday. I don't want to ruffle any feathers in DH's family, but I feel terrible that she can't see who she wants at 21. What would you do?
Re: WWYD? (long)
I agree!
I think if you and DH want to invite them over, there's nothing wrong w/it. And if your IL's ask then yes, I'd just say you wanted the chance to try to get to know him better. It's not like you're trying to get into the middle of it or meddle. You're just trying to be a good SIL.
I agree w/Lindsay and Amy, if DH is supportive then I don't see why not.
wow, i guess i am the minority here. if i were you i would not invite him over. i don't know, i just would not want to get in the middle of that. your MIL/SIL don't like him for a good reason. he doesn't seem like a decent guy, and even though SIL says he's changed, it just seems like they are both acting rather immature. if he had really changed, and she was really acting like an adult about this, she wouldn't be keeping a secret. idk, i just wouldn't want to get involved. it's her relationship, and she needs to deal with MIL/SIL dislike of him on her own. but that's just mho.
