Re: Just when I thought I had heard everything

If the son didn't say something immediately when he saw the trailer, I would have left right then and there. No way would I expect a guest I was bringing to my parents' home to stay in a trailer while I stayed in the house.

She was expecting him to propose after only knowing him a few months? LOL

When he returns from his trip, she needs to get answers from him, if she hasn't already. He needs to tell her why she wasn't invited in to have dinner with them, why he neglected her, except for a few lunches, during the entire four days, why he didn't take her and his parents out for dinner, and why he didn't tell her what to expect before she agreed to go along to meet his parents. He's the only one who can explain the situation to her.

@occasionalrain Can you possibly think of any explanation that would make you feel better?

@Duckncover - I haven't read through all the responses so please forgive me if this has already been asked. What was the explanation on why she was not allowed to enter the home? Didn't she ask why? Also, why she not allowed to eat in the home and didn't she ask about taking a shower? There's got to be some explanation and I have to wonder why did never opened her mouth to ask? Why would she go 4 days without a shower and not say a word?

And, I thought the trip was to meet the parents? Didn’t sound like they had any interaction at all.

And 4 days without a shower, sitting in a camper alone in unknown territory, I would of left without a word if I saw how things were progressing.

What leap desperate to get married? @aprilskies how did you come up with that. She sounds like a young professional woman that met a man she loves and hopes to marry.
@manny2 She spent four days in the driveway in a camper cooking her meals? If that says young professional woman, it sure doesn't say that in any world I've ever lived in.

It says to me you need professional help more than anything else. And it says that loud and clear. Good grief what will happen to this woman later on?

@Sooner She is a professional young woman. A mechanical engineer would warrant that title. I am sure she is smart, and she was also caught off guard. Why are we judging her she didn't do anything wrong. When it comes to matters of the heart we don't follow logic. If we did there wouldn't be such a high divorce rate.

One thing here is the legal element. Do any of you really want to take a chance of being legally entangled with people who won't let you in the house? Really?

Sounds like they are hoarders, have 42 cats, are growing weed, or doing something unsavory or live in some bizarre way (LOTS of wives) that they have to hide.

And you want to get hooked up with this bunch of criminals or nuts? Really? And no, the son is in on the party too. Believe me, he's part of the problem whatever it is.

@manny2 I'm sorry for her, and she may be book smart but if you go for a visit like that and sleep in the driveway and cook for yourself, you have big problems in your life and you need counseling about protecting and valuing who you are. Big time problems. Stove hot kind of problems.

Are you freaking kidding me! This makes me furious for your niece. How in he11 did they think this was acceptable? It was cruel, mean, tacky, just all kinds of WRONG! A huge slap in the face and I would have lit into my boyfriend like a rabid raccoon. LOL, can you tell I'm just a tad angry?

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

I understand how this poor girl could have stayed. She didn't want to make a scene, I'm sure and she was probably stunned and confused by the situation. Women will put up with a lot just to keep the peace.
What she does now where this man is concerned is what matters.

Sooner · ‎03-10-2010

Letting people treat you any old way sometimes leads to bodily harm. That's what scares me about this whole deal. It's not about mad or angry or hurt. It's about not protecting yourself and getting out of Dodge post haste. Sounds too scary for me to understand.
