Re: future sister-in-law
No, they won't change.
You are being shown *exactly* what it's going to be like, you just don't want to see it. If you are frustrated now, you will be kicking yourself in the butt later on.
I wonder, what are the things your FI is assuming will change about YOU once the ring does its magic?
The only advice I can offer is to marry the person you want to spend your life with, not the person you hope will transform into the person you want to spend your life with.
Marriage doesn't make problems go away. Marriage makes problems bigger.
And permanent, too.
I agree, it looks like you're getting really good advice from everyone. I am married to a man that has trouble with confrontation from his family... and there has definitely been a bit of it. Before he was ready to stand up to them and say something, we went through a horrible patch in our marriage. He's done a 360 and it's made a world of difference, but I don;t think that this is common.
I can't get passed the not speaking for 2 days part. I wish you luck in what ever your decision is.
It's the simple but correct answer. It's simple because their really is no reason to make it complicated it. Basically we already know you're not going to leave him. Best of luck to you. But I can tell you from experience it's not going to last, and he will never change.
Been there done that. Seriously. And divorce is no fun.
