Just a ball of trouble rolling along!
Dear Mrs. Figgins:
My fiancé and I are to be married next year. His family is lovely but they are driving me crazy!
His mother is constantly giving me “tips” on how children should be raised, or how to do this or that for him. His sister calls every week expecting us do things together. His brother and father like playing pub games so the old bloke takes the boys out once a week!
I feel like I’m going to marry the whole blooming family!
This is NOT what I bargained for!
Dear No Bargain:
Perhaps your fiancé is also getting something different than he’s bargained for.
By your own admission they are lovely people, and he is close to his family. So…you are going to marry the family.
Unless you’re planning on being what you sound like (a bloody pain) for many years to come, and making this poor chap miserable all along the way, you better rethink this union. Get a new attitude – or get out NOW - before you marry .
He is not going to give up his family.
I suggest you talk with your fiancé about your feelings. Work something out where he feels he’s marrying a reasonable girl and not a whinny ball of trouble that’s just going to get bigger as it rolls thru time.
