Working class 25-year-old ostracized by 26-year-old boyfriend's rich family, he refuses to stand up to them in fear of losing inheritance: "I'm not the kind of girl they imagined for him"

When you get married, you also marry into that person's family. Suddenly, you have twice as many birthdays to remember and a whole new set of parents that need your attention. Gone are the days of relaxed holidays spent idly at your mom's house – you must now find a way to satisfy both sides with your vacation days. However, if you marry into a loving family, all of the extra hustle is completely worth it.

In our story today, a young woman is in a relationship with a rather wealthy guy. This lifestyle is completely new to her; she feels like a fish out of water. Despite everything, she makes an effort to make it to family events and give a good impression. However, eventually word gets back to her that the family are disappointed in their son's choice in partner. When he makes it clear that he's not willing to stand up to his own kin on her behalf, she begins to wonder if this relationship is even worth it.

This relationship dynamic doesn't sound sustainable at all. It's good avice to cut it off here before she gets too invested.

$My in-laws caused severe fractures in my marriage for different reasons, but it was also about control issues. My husband and I did not pursue counseling until years later, but the damage was already done.$
