When someone new marries into the family, they become part of the family. That means they attend family birthdays, dinners, vacations, and any other gatherings that bring the family together. It's common sense to welcome a newcomer into the family with open arms. If that's not a given, then something fishy is going on. In today's 'Am I the A$$hole?' post, OP shared how she recently got married, and she wanted to go on one of her husband's family vacations so that she could get to know his family better. Her husband was hesitant about it, which is already super shady behavior, but he eventually agreed to let her come along. Everything was going smoothly until she overheard her mother-in-law asking why she even came on the trip in the first place, to which her husband responded that he didn't even want to bring her but that she was really pushy about coming. Looks like this family didn't exactly welcome her with open arms. Scroll down to see what happened.

    Font - My husband goes on annual vacations with his family. I'm on okay terms with them but since we've only been married for a short time and I don't see his family much, we still have that barrier that keeps is from being completely comfortable around each other. His family arranged for the vacation last week. I out of curiosity asked if I could come. My husband felt hasitant but I told him it'd be a great opportunities to get to know his family better.

    It's really weird that he hesitated in the first place. OP is his freaking wife! It should be a no-brainer that she comes on family trips.

    Font - He agreed to take me and his family were surprised to see me but still welcomed me. On the 3rd day of the vacation. His dad, mom, brothers and spouses were all sitting at a table outside talking while I was preparing a fruit salad. As I was making my way back I overheard my MIL say "...did she really had nowhere else to spend the weekend?". At first I had no idea who she was talking about so I kept on walking, but stopped once I overheard my husband say "I KNOW!!!! And I didn't want to br

    Font - I quietly booked a ticket and went home on the first plane. He called and texted but I didn't respond anything other than let him know I was home. He got back and went off on me saying what I did was disrespectful and juvenile. I told him I overheard the conversation he had with his mom but he said that I was wrong for eavesdropping and that his family will warm up to me on their terms so I should stop pushing to be around that when they don't feel comfortable with it. Basically saying it

    Font - Jlpippen 3 hr. ago Partassipant [2] NTA. This is toxic. He trash talked you to his family who were being nasty about you, tried to gaslight you and insists you continue putting up with his their treatment and let them have their own way. He's your HUSBAND and his family are still treating you like this. You deserve better than these people. You deserve better than HIM.

    Font - Stegosaurus505. 2 hr. ago Partassipant [1] When you get married you and your spouse become a family, everyone else is extended family. He seems not to have gotten the memo and prioritizes his parents and siblings over you. Why were the siblings' spouses there but they acted like it was odd and inconvenient for you to be there? Why did you have to ask for permission to go? Why doesn't your husband want you around?

    Font - amelonlord 3 hr. ago NTA. It's not like you've been dating for 2 weeks, you're married! And as I understand the husband's brothers brought their spouses. How else are you going to get to know the family. And to be honest the fact that your husband didn't defend you and was also talking with them behind your back is kind of a red flag.
