![[New Update] Last year, boyfriend (33m) quit his job without telling me and now he refused...](/img/n.gif)
MIL sounds kinda racist thinking an American tradition would apply to a Kenyan born woman.
It's so strange how MIL is so obsessed with pushing an African-American tradition towards a Kenyan woman (aka only African) or constanly wishing her happy Kwanza when OP's family celebrates Christmas. It seems to me like she believes black people are a single, ethnically homogeneous group and refuses to let go of that idea no matter how much the stuff is explained to her. Which is extremely weird.
NTA she’s trying to push a culture that isn’t hers or anyone’s that’s involved in the wedding.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! I love you OP. I loved your suggestion of going 'the dowry route.' I really like the first commenter's advice. She went public... YOU went public right back. And your husband knows what's right. Congratulations and may you have a happy life.
NTA it sounds like MIL is a pushy lady who doesn't actually have a clue. Also, she never listens.
Why is this woman so insistent on jumping a broom
Maybe MIL is actually a witch. But tbh I think it's because she's being a white savior to feed her narcissism
Because she's racist, ignorant and proud 😂
Whatcha wanna bet she never actually "spent hours working on a custom broom"? She was still looking to get OP to join her in looking for design ideas when OP informed her it wasn't going to be happening. So either she just posted someone else's broom picture and lied about having worked so hard on it when in reality she just stole a photo OR she spent hours on making it out of sheer spite for no purpose other than to post about it despite knowing she was wasting her time before she ever started.
The fainting goat bit got me lmao!
Jumping the Broom is not only an African American (from Africa) thing. Its also a Pagan thing.
This one is a weird one ngl. On one hand jumping a broom last a whole of 2 seconds and you can get it over with quickly to keep the peace.
But on the other hand, if you don’t feel comfortable with jumping the broom you shouldn’t be forced to.
Jumping the broom is a tradition that stems from slavery in America. Why should a Kenyan born woman, who's family were probably never slaves participate in an American tradition being pushed in her, by a non African-American, who's family probably owned slaves, just to keep the peace. I agree with the bride wholeheartedly. That mother in-law is a narcissistic nuisance who is not use to people standing up to her, so when someone does put her in her place, she throws a tantrum. Clearly the son knows this and that's why he was already low contact with his family before this all went down.
If his extended family actually educated themselves in the history of jumping the broom and on the bride's culture instead of siding with the MIL they wouldn't have made brooms and end up looking like the ignorant idiots they clearly are.
... since when is Wyoming the west coast?!
IDK but I've heard Wyoming been grouped as west coast before.
It's also accidentally been called the mid-west. I think it's because people don't know what to do with "the west" lol
As I've found from a friend from another country they don't have the same understanding of how the US is grouped up
(I had to explain how Arizona is in the southern part of the US but not in the South lol)
NTA the broom thing is not even OP's culture.
"Hey, I came down to discuss how to do this thing about your culture and show you options of things to buy for it"
"That's not my culture"
"Yes it is, so you're doing it, which thing do you want to buy"
"None of them, because I'm not doing it, because it's not my culture"
time passes
"So, after I was told they weren't interested in doing this thing from THEIR CULTURE, I decided, completely of my own accord, to hand craft a thing I initially wanted them to buy for THEIR CULTURE, and not tell them about it until *after* writing an insane and racist facebook post about how they're refusing to uphold THEIR CULTURE at their wedding and wasting all that time and effort I spent making this thing they told me they didn't want before I made it and I never told them I was going to make it"
"That's not my culture, and you're a racist for trying to tell me what my culture is when you've put in zero effort to learn my culture, and also making all kinds of references to slavery in the process"
time passes
"I've roped my family into wasting time and energy making more of the thing you don't want in solidarity of how YOU are disrespecting YOUR culture"
"Still not my culture, not gonna talk to you ever again, have fun wasting time and energy making stuff that nobody wants or needs for an event you won't be attending based on a culture neither of us are a part of"
I wouldn't do that either. Don't know what the significance is.
This is the single most "White American™" shit I have ever heard 😅
Too hard to watch these videos with the moving background. I will stick with lost genre.
OP chose to burn all bridges with her new family for no reason other than the pleasure of feeling the warmth of it's flames. YTA but i guess when they're also ayy holes then you get to choose to return in kind
OP chose to burn all bridges with her in-laws because they attempted to push an African-American tradition on her because it was “her culture” despite the fact that she is NOT African-American (she states she’s from Kenya several times in the post) and attempted to explain several times that jumping the broom is not part of her culture, and the family chose to boycott the wedding rather than accepting that after her future MIL made a post on Facebook, so OP retaliated with her own post and decided together WITH HER FIANCÉ to cut off his family (her future in-laws)
@@DuckWaddles07 she got them good too. Married their son, took their last name, gives them grandchildren who will give them great grandchildren. Almost like marriage is a combining of two families which has long lasting consequences. Not something to be trifled with so easily.
@@darthbiscuit this isn’t about “getting them”, it’s about cutting ties and cutting contact with the son, who is also cutting contact. This is about the soon to be married couple making the joint decision to cut off the groom’s family for their toxic behavior towards his bride to be. Yes, they may have children, who likely will never meet their grandparents or hear about their father’s family. I think you entirely missed the point of both the OP’s posts itself AND my reply to you
@@DuckWaddles07 low to no contact is a great tactic when dealing with difficult family but she made it to where it'll likely never be possible again. She didn't have to do that she did it because she wanted to.
Your replies have only shown that you're constrained to seeing the world through the writer's POV. Pull your view out further and you see the messes everyone just made including the OP themselves. Maybe they should call this "main character syndrome"
I’m so confused on how you came to OP being the A
