    It may be soft....but the song "nothingman" really hits home when I realize noone will ever love me like she does/did. I have recently told my parents this is how it has to be.
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    Good for you! Is there any particular reason they dont like her?

    Ha ha ha seriously. Or at least one that doesn't have two sisters! EEEK. I have 3 brothers, you'd think that would be a bit more intimidating! But my brother's are such wonderful men!

    yeah..or a sister that lives across the country. Well they are your brothers of course you think that ;) nah Im sure they are.

    Hehe eventually we'll be putting some serious miles between us. No seriously, my brothers are really awesome guys. My mom still a stellar job raising them into awesome men. :)

    I think I had a break through today just venting about this. I have a lot of stress to deal with from outside people in this relationship. Tommy's ex is crazy too and we have to deal with her bc she is Skyler's (Tommys son) mother. It's constant bickering with her etc. I think Im going to try to get her on a civil level this weekend. I suggested to Tommy we bring her a present for her newborn and then have a little talk about how to be grow up civil people, for the sake of Skyler. And at the same time, I am simply going to ignore any attempt to start up fights with me from his sister. It's all I can do really and when she does anything it just makes her look like the unstable one with issues.

    I feel so much better.. thank you guys! :-D

    Rose, you should have married into a black family. Only white families have the time to create this level of drama and bullshit.

    venting is good..Im glad you feel better. Taking the highroad is your best bet. It's not worth the aggravation...trust me, some people are just miserable and want to suck people into their misery.

    LOL you are too funny. Ahhh life without strife..... that's what I am talking about.

    Oh another note, I was very disappointed to discover that is is only 1:30 pm here. I thought it was closer to like 3 pm and I am ready to get my drink on! I'm hoping my boss says happy hour starts early bc it's sunny and nice today! wooo...... i love drinking at the office!

    Thanks! Yep, I dont know why I didnt think of this before. :) Prob just bc I can't stand both his ex and his sister... but as long as Tommy and I are happy, I don't really care.

    NOt so much they dont like HER...just things she does. The biggest thing is that tehy cant come to our house for any birthday parties including their grandchildren (our kids)

    ha...I'm a women and I agree. I work with mostly women and it isn't fun. :p

    But then again sometimes being a bitch is the only thing a women has to hold on to. That is a quote from some movie.

    Hmm ... how do you feel? Does she purposely do things to be a bitch to your family?? Is there some background?

    I wish they would all just get over themselves...honestly

    Oh wow... congrats. Has it always been this way? Is there anyway to peacefully coexist?

    I am going to try my best to just coexist with my fiance's family. I just don't like his sister at all and I'm never going to, so I'm not going to be fake. She says I am not invited and all that crap but I don't do that to her. She could show up, I wouldn't talk to her, but I wouldn't really care if she were there.

    thanks....Glad I didnt fill in the rest of my tattoo after our 3rd.

    The only person that it really affects, is me because they all put me in the middle. My wife and her sisters are big time grudge carriers....they dont let anything go. Unlike my side who will let bygones be bygones.

    Yea well... no one wants to live with strife in their life, especially when you have no choice in the matter.

    Personally, I do not believe in that statement. I wouldn't put my "blood" over my husband to be.

    Yea its pretty lame. It would be nice if people could just focus on themselves and leave other people alone.
