Q. My Parents Hate My Husband: My husband and I have been married nearly a year (we’re planning on having kids in a year or two). Before we got married, my mom and dad adored him and treated him like their son. They were delightful at our wedding and in the weeks after. However, after Christmas last year, which we spent with them, they became really weird around him. They avoid him and don’t want to touch him, and at one point my mom started to tell me something serious (I think about my husband) and then said, “You know what? Never mind. It won’t help anything.” I’m really worried something terrible happened, but my husband says nothing happened on Christmas and he’s as confused as any of us. My parents are generally tolerant people, I can’t imagine it’s a religious issue or something. What do I do?
A: You sit down with your parents alone and tell them enough is enough. You say there has been a 180-degree change in how they treat your husband and either they explain to you the origin of this or they start behaving like normal, loving people again. If they won’t do either, then you tell them because you continue to love and adore your husband, you will not subject him to their further behavior and you all will have to make separate Christmas plans this year.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
Obviously he did something to put her parents off. Or maybe they misinterpreted something he said or did. She really does need to have a talk with her parents. If it was me I never would have written a letter I would have had a face to face with my parents.
I really wish there were follow ups to letters like this.
OK - these kind of letters should not be allowed. What did he DO????
I know! I need to know what happened. How has their daughter gone this long without demanding an answer. If someone started to tell me something and backed out the way her mom did, I would not be able to let that go. I would have pressed until she told me.
That is weird for them to go from being crazy about the husband to disliking him. I wonder if something happened to change their mind. She needs to have a talk to her parents. It could be just a miscommunication on their part.
I think her mother wanted to tell her & then thought better of it. Maybe thought her daughter would shoot the messenger & didn't want to cause more trouble.
Or left something in the bathroom. Didn't flush or something.

Some of these letters have more hate for lesser problems.

Actually, this might be one where ed's perspective comes in handy. If the parents know something, they need to speak up. Or have one of those 'if you don't tell her by Friday, we're telling her' conversations with the husband . . .

It's something that won't change anything. Mom's words.
So what ever it is, it's the parents hang up and they need to get over it.

He told the mom next year they're hosting Christmas dinner.

They saw him smoking while posing for nude selfish while Porn played on the lap top after he left wet towels on the floor and a duce in the bowl.
And while checking out his FB they found pictures of his ex girlfriends and sheep he had a brief summer fling with.
And they still get upset about the empty envelop with the out of season stamp that was supposed to have the hand written thank you card thanking them for the cheap dollar store soap on a rope he is allergic to.
And he is a liberal conservative who voted for both Bush and Obama.
