A Father-in-Law’s Comment Made a Woman Leave the Dining Table, and Here Is What He Said

Here is how it all started: “My husband and I were invited for dinner at my in-laws’ place yesterday. Everything was going great until my mother-in-law brought up my husband’s “player” phase in high school. She was jokingly saying, “Honestly, him in High school, <strong>I’d never thought he’d actually settle down with somebody,” and my father-in-law was like, “Yeah, even less with someone like you.” I asked him what he meant by that.

He said, “Well, you weren’t exactly his type in high school, you know?” My husband tried to make him stop after that, but my FIL added, “Not saying you weren’t pretty enough or anything like that, you just wouldn’t have caught his eyes.”

I got up from the table and went to the bathroom. I was not even in there for 5 minutes when my husband knocked and told me we were leaving.

Once we were home, my husband received a text from his mom saying that my reaction was childish and disrespectful and that we wouldn’t be invited again until I apologized. My husband replied that I’d only apologize if my FIL apologized first. He didn’t get an answer, but his sister told me I needed to apologize ASAP because I was risking my husband’s relationship with his parents over a misunderstanding.”
