Feelsgoodman Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Dear angry and/or jealous troll, I originally posted asking for help on how to turn her down without hurting her feelings. I don't "hate" anyone and I don't accept gifts from people I do not like. For example, I have fought tooth and nail to pay for my own dinner in the past if I realized the guy I was with had no future with me. Oh give me a break Your original post makes it clear that you would have totally accepted the offer if you didn't have to spend time with your BF's parents. And the fact that you hate them is pretty obvious. You talk about these people as if they were the scum of the earth. And you do it behind their backs (of course). Very classy!

I just realized I have seen you troll many other threads. I'm sorry that you are so repressed and sad with your life. I hope it gets better. I;m still going to block you though
Ruby Slippers Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I thought the first vacation with them would be fun and then I realized they were just bickering and moaning and watching children's movies most evenings. That was when we bailed. You are giving me flashbacks to how annoying it was to spend time with those people half the time. The mom would talk. And talk. And talk. No one could get a word in edgewise. If you tried, she always changed the subject back to her. And she would do things like pretend to reach for something in the cabinet, and play helpless until someone got the thing for her.
SoleMate Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Looking on the bright side, I think his mom was fair and reasonable to advise you of this condition in advance, so you could decide, rather than spring it on you on the plane. I also think she might just be negotiating to have some family time and not have you two run off by yourselves for the whole trip, returning only to sleep in the paid-for room(s). Another good point: You get to see up close and personal what it's like to be affected and perhaps controlled by the power of someone else's money. This is important because your bf is obviously deep within this web and you should understand it. His parents let him use a car and house, which saps his motivation to get his own....yet they can take the car and house away with a snap of their fingers. They give him a cushy job, possibly better than what he could swing on his own, and it too is at their pleasure. Your choice.
