Me (24 female) and my husband (30 male) were dating for 3 years and got married last year. Our families are from different backgrounds and countries but we were born in Australia.

Me and my husband were colleagues and that’s how we know each other and we started going out and started dating. My brother-in-law was also working with us and my brother too, so we were all colleagues. As for me that time I was a university student and since we moved in our new home I wanted to help my parents and also have some saving for myself.

Because that was my first job I was quite and wanted to focus on my work but later I found some new friends and was a bit loud and fun while working. Even from start my brother -in-law didn’t like me or my brother.

He is someone who put people in trouble so he can be seen by the manager ( I’m not sure what we call that type of person ), everyone at my work place didn’t like him and they all called him Office’s puppet because he was that type of person, he would have done anything to cause drama and blame someone for it .( also our manager was a very racist person) I had many arguments with him and manager because they are from same country(Fiji) and they were trying to fired me. So from the start I didn’t like my brother in law and I told my husband about it also, my husband always supported me because he knew how his brother was acting and how spoiled he was.

Two years later I finished my studies and I opened a small cafe and I left my job. My cafe was quite good and become pretty popular in 6 months and my brother also left his job to help me, it was quit family business and my husband was also helping me around sometimes on the weekends.

After 3 months my husband proposed me and I accepted, our tradition is that the groom and groom’s family should come to my home and ask for my hand from my parents, which my husband was so happy about it . On the day when they were coming to my house, my husband’s family was 2 hour late and since it was a very hot day (40°c) and we prepared lunch it was a bit rude and my family was worried but my family was trying to clam my nerves down by saying they are excited and maybe there’s traffic ( my husband house was 45min drive to my house) .

The lunch was 12:30 but they showed up at 2:15 , but still my family was cool with it . When i saw my husband that day his eyes were red and he was upset , my mother in law wasn’t happy and keep picking on every single thing ( the chair is so small, the food is less oil, too oily , the water is so cold , i don’t like this furniture and etc…) my brother in law didn’t showed up that day but my father in law was a very kind man. He became good friends with my family that day . Everything was done my family accepted my husband and we were engaged. After our engagement party I only went to my husband’s house 3 time , and only one time I had meal in their home. After 3 month we got married and we moved into our house. Everyday my mother in law would come in my home and make everything a mess and leave . Once she broke bath tub ( I don’t know how she managed that), she kicked my cat out of my home which made me look for her for 2 days, broke th TV, my makeup was disappeared in every possible way she would do something that me and my husband get into arguments, but my husband is a very supportive person and very mature . Everytime he would calm me down and kept telling his mom that he doesn’t want her to join his married life . After six months I got pregnant and we were so happy which my husband cried so hard that day and was very emotional. We planned a party to give the news to our family. The day we announced my pregnancy my family was so happy, and my father in law was happy too, and then the real drama begin. My mother in law called his favorite son and he came to my house and out of nowhere he hugged me so tight which made me chock so bad that was so unexpected for everyone because he didn’t attend any party or family event since I was there and he only came to my wedding for 3 hours and then left. (My mother in law told everyone that he doesn’t like me that’s why he is not coming to any family parties) That day he was acting like he is my best friend and he is so happy about everything and I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want my party to turn into a TV show. After that day he was coming to my house with saying anything and he would bring flowers and some gifts for me and was trying to hide it from my husband. My husband wasn’t happy about it and he kept telling me they are planning something on us, soon after we were in a family gathering in my mother in laws house, the whole time they were giving me weird looks, but at the end my brother in law announced that he is going to be a father. I was happy for him and I cheered the most and wished him luck but soon after he was in front of me in one knee and pulled out a ring and proposed me . I was so shocked and speechless I was like what’s going on , my husband asked him to explain and he shamelessly said we were dating the whole time behind his back , and my mother in law said the baby is not my husband ‘s it’s from my brother in law . I was super mad and frustrated from everything and my husband was the same he punched his brother and very angrily said to his mother that she was monster , and she was trying to attack me which made my husband push her away from me . We left and never talked about it again. My husband never believe that because he is my first and last love ( I was virgin when we started dating) . After a week my husband was in court because my mother in law sued my husband for punching his brother due to all the stressful day and night I had a miscarriage and lost my baby, and I was hospitalized for 5 months, and the court made my mother in law pay a heavy fine for filling fake statements and my miscarriage. Since that day my husband blocked all his family except his father and never let his mother to visit us again. I do forgive all of them but I support my husband’s decision . So AITAH for supporting my husband for cutting ties with his mother.
