27-year-old woman refuses to attend boyfriend's family vacations after she wears herself thin trying to gain their approval, is left reconsidering their entire relationship: 'I felt emotionally drained and completely unwelcome'

Gaining the approval of a loved one's family isn't always an easy task. In a perfect world, you would be yourself, wholeheartedly, and they would absolutely adore you. I'm talking baking you a pie and showering you with niceties, not because they have to, but because they want to. Everyone should experience potential in-laws who actually like them—but that's not always the case now, is it?

The worst part about sticky situations like this is if or when your partner refuses to defend you against their family's harsh criticisms. It's one thing for their family to speak badly about you, but it's an entirely different problem if their unwarranted criticism doesn't make your partner's defense come out to play. At the end of the day, you must ask yourself: "Will it always be like this?"

In this next story, a woman refuses to attend any of her boyfriend's future family vacations after he fails to defend her when his family speaks poorly about her character. It's never a comfy conversation in situations like these, but you do what you have and want to do for love. Scroll below to read the entire story.
