Hurt feelings from in-laws
| Tue, 07-27-2004 - 3:04am |
My husband and I eloped almost six years ago, needless to say his parents were upset(and rightly so) that they were not involved. This is my second marraige, so my parent were not as upset. At the time my husband had told me his parents had two diamonds for their two sons to give for engagement rings. We never were in egaged, so I was never given a ring(which I understand and am okay with) However, his oldest brother has been dating a girl for 3 months and wants to ask her to marry him. My in laws sent my brother in law a diamond and also sent my husband a diamond to give to me - with the stipulation that my brother in laws fiance gets hers first. This has hurt my feelings, i feel like i'm not getting it on my own merit, but they are only giving it to me because they don't want me to feel bad. My husband thinks I am being very selfish. Am I?? I am also five months pregnant with my first child and am very emotional. Should I accept the diamond?

Your absolutely right!! This was my first time ever on ivillage and you have made me feel so much better. I need to focus on my pregnancy and not worry about silly stuff.
Thank you for making my day!!! :)
