Woman Fed Up with Weekly Friday Dinners with the In-Laws, Husband Takes Personal Offense When She Suggests Staying In Once a Month: ‘You knew what you signed up for’

Welcome, gossip goddesses. When you marry someone, you are also marrying into their family. After the vows are said and done, after you slip on those matching golden bands, and after you throw the bouquet over your shoulder to your bridesmaids, you are a part of their family. Thus, you are suddenly expected to participate in their family traditions. Likewise, they are expected to be a part of your own family's rituals. However, getting married also means that you and your spouse officially become your own family — a small team that might grow bigger in the coming years. As an independent team, you are able to make decisions and draw boundaries with family from both sides.

In our story today, our protagonist attempts to draw a boundary after getting overwhelmed by weekly Friday dinners at her in-laws' house. Her husband, unable to understand her feelings towards his family's traditions, takes offense. Get all the details down below.
