I mean I refuse to even call her my sister-in-law.

A little background: My brother graduated summa cum laude in accounting from SHSU while being a captain on the football team and serving as class president.

He dated a lot of really hot chicks and is now employed as an auditor/CPA with KPMG. He is 24. He is also devoutly Catholic and swore he would never marry someone who wasn't Catholic and wouldn't get married outside of the Catholic church.

He also stated that he couldn't even date somebody who never went to college.

Enter his wife whom he married in July of 2003, and they are now expecting in September. She is a backwoods, hillbilly redneck chick who is about 5 steps below every other chick he ever dated.

She is Southern Baptist, she did not go to college and fails to see that going to college provides any sort of benefits.

She is/was a hairdresser- and not a good one. I can respect a chick who works at an upscale salon, but I mean this beotch worked at SuperCuts and thinks Visible Changes is a high-end salon. According to my fiancee it is not. She is also a hairdresser with really bad hair.

In short she is not cute, she is not smart, and she is not fun. Three strikes and you're out. Not to mention the fact that she is a whiny, cry-baby who always has to have her way.

My brother is such a completely different person since he's been with her. I understand people change, but to do a complete 180 on every value and thing you have ever thought?

daddy never sleeps at night

that's funny

bummer - I hate my bro's wife, too.

He is my business partner. When they blow it up, it's going to F my corporate scene.

classic

At least she didn't make him change Gods.

Why did he stoop to this level?

Did he knock her up and have to marry her?

BUMP!

if you don't have to like your sister in law, does that mean it's okay if i don't like my brother in law?

Did I mention that the "HAVE" to go visit her family in her little backwoods, east Texas hickville nearly every weekend.

I am not kidding you. They haven't even been married a year and literally have had less than 10 weekends where they haven't visited her family.

Her family goes back like 4 generations on both sides in this hickville and nobody has ever left. They are all the same podunk, white trash hillbillies they have always been. Of course this means that every person in town is her freakin' cousin or something. So its always her great-aunt's or 4th cousin's birthday or her nephews tee-ball game that they have to visit for.

Did I mention that they moved from their apartment near Westheimer and the Beltway up to Humble so that they would be only 45 minutes from her parents rather than 90 minutes?

Did I mention that not one single member of her family would drive down to their old apartment to visit because they were scared of Houston? Just because her dad had some guy pull a knife on him at a tractor-pull at the 'Dome 25 years ago.

I feel your pain. I hate my brothers gf as well, and fear he will marry her. This chick is so classey, she passed out in the lobby at my wedding rec.

Freakin Hilarious!!

LawAggie99 - Why do you hate her? She's just being herself. Your brother picked her. Hate him.

damn! I didnt know you were "above" other people on the human food chain based on their beliefs, religion, and job. That is very sad indeed, of course, I dont know this situation personally. Every story has two sides.

No one is above any sort of work....

combat....exactly! Its his fault just as much as it is hers....

What does it say about him being so smart???[/roll eyes]

No one is above true love....

Or above double posting!

Is she from Kirbyville?

Vodoo Poonany explains a lot of stupid things men do. It does however wear off. After a while, they're stop being "ritz crackers" and he'll see them as "plain ol' crackers" .

<---wonders if this would be a different situation if the wife were one of the "hot girls" he had once dated....

TCLTC- that is absolutely OK.

I know this might sound like whining, but it really does suck and has caused a lot of stress and aggravation in our family.

Before this my brother and I truly were best friends and now he is somebody I don't care to hang around most of the time. Maybe I do resent that...

...but just because you get married you don't change like that.

My fiancee have been together for over 3 years, and it will be 4 by the time we get married next January. We have lived together for over a year, and while I am not the same person I was when we started seeing each other nor am I completely changed.

I think ones actions and behavior may change, not ones personality.

so where is the "Is it OK that I cant stand my husband's brother?" thread

This is getting better and better...vent on my brother. My best friend married a money grubing ***** a month ago....

Now the truth comes out - you're jealous. It's sad you can't share in your brother's joy. Sounds like you need to get out and get a new best buddy.

Phi- I could care less about the looks and education. Its more about the personality.

And yes, I am better than much of her family. I am not a poacher or a racist.

Yes I do get pissed at my brother for marrying this girl, but he's still my blood and she isn't.

As for the education I don't mind that she didn't go to school. Just the fact that she refuses to acknowledge the benefits it can provide. The fact that she is so close-minded and sheltered and doesn't even care to experience anything else is exasperating.

Here is a true story- my little sister is a huge fan of the Olive Garden(I think its the salad & bread sticks) so on some special occasion for her we all decide to take our poor, starving, student sister to dinner at the Olive Garden. So the five of us are sitting there, and my brother's wife is attempting to peruse the menu but cannot because she has no idea what anything is. She has literally never heard of ravioli, and didn't know what lasagna or spaghetti is???? Are you kidding me? Its not like she's eating at some really exotic Asian restaraunt it is the freakin' Olive Garden.

And no she's not from Kirbyville. She's from a small cross-roads (not even a town) east of Lake Hickingston...

Do they seem happy together?

Again, do you have any clue as to WHY he married her?

You say you're not a poacher or racist - but being a self-righteous bigot is okay with you?

That's not quite the case Brad. In most aspects of my life I couldn't be happier. As for relationship joy- maybe you missed the part where I talked about getting married soon. I am with the love of my life and do not resent my brother for getting married.

I am pissed about who he married.

And it would make you sad too if somebody whom you had been close to for a long time was no longer the person you once knew.

Actually my brother and his wife lived together before they were married too.

That sucks...

or you could just stop being a condescending snob and make the relationship work.

But it's much better to mock someone who didn't grow up eating any Italian food

Oh the irony....

Sounds to me like you are more pissed over what he married rather than who he married...
