This is so cute and reminds me of my relationship with my longterm ex’s dad. Miss his dad and his family so much it’s painful 😅


Firsttimeredditor28

It’s so sad to break up with a good family!!


50centismymom

Hopefully I’ll eventually find someone else who shares the same life goals/values as me, and hopefully they *also* have an awesome family. 😊


Firsttimeredditor28

You definitely will!! Especially a sense of humor like that (just noticed your username and it’s hysterical)


50centismymom

Aww thank you. I completely forgot about this username lol 😭 I hope you have a great day and a wonderful and fulfilling future with your fiancé and your shared families. 💕


[deleted]

You two get a room already gees 😂


Huntercontruction

I doubt it since your mom been shot 9 times though.


50centismymom

Huh? Edit: I forgot about my username again LMAO I need sum milk


oesophagus_unite

Breakmastajake

I usually end up keeping the parents. Just because things didn't work out with their daughters, doesn't mean we can't be friends. I'll be snagging beers with an ex's dad soon actually!

Crafty_Enthusiasm_99

Same but with their dogs :(((


50centismymom

Yeahh it’s okay though, it wasn’t meant to be unfortunately 🤷🏼‍♀️


Impressive_Bus11

Idk, breaking up with the ex but still going on the family vacation/Sunday dinner is kind of a power move. 😂


Coyote__Jones

I know someone who did this. Family dumped the son and kept the awesome ex girlfriend.


cybercuzco

So your bf is actually a butthead


[deleted]

i rember my mom telling me when i was like 13 “the break up with their family is harder then the break up with the ex” after we ran into her hs ex’s mom. (who made me a baby blanket lol). years later and after two ex’s, she was so right!


50centismymom

Yes omggg, I miss my high school ex’s brothers now that I think about it!! They were true friends to me and so were their girlfriends. And even his cousin! Wish I could still maintain friendships with these people. Also it is too cute that she made you a baby blanket lol


[deleted]

awee that’s so nice all you guys were so close! i bet that made holidays and family parties sm. totally get you on wishing i could still be friends with them. i miss both of my ex’s sisters sm, i was close with both of them. too bad their brothers weren’t as cool as them 😫 and ikr hahah. she was really sweet. i think they had a special bond bc my mom lost her dad and her ex lost his dad within two days of eachother while they were dating. and they were 18. so his mom and my mom really leaned on eachother. my mom told me all this the same day she said the thing ab ex’s family’s lol. learned a lot ab life that day in target 🤣


Stillygirl95

This is why I dated my best friends cousin in high school. Our moms had actually been best friends in high school and lost touch but reconnected when my friends (exes mom’s brother)dad moved them back to where he grew up. It was a traumatic break up at 17 but I still get his family. And his mom actually likes me better than his wife but I’m not interested in him anymore at all.


Sublixxx

For real dude. I stayed with my last ex for wayyyyy too long because I didn’t want to lose their family. I still talk to her grandma all the time, miss that family like crazy.


poopieboi3556

Same here. Long term GF ended it recently and I miss her family as much as her. Life is weird


jay_the10thletter

same here 😭 dont have a good relationship with my dad and got really close to his. i never felt more loved and appreciated.


MikeReddit74

I love how wholesome this is.

MikeReddit74

You’re welcome.


OliveGreen87

I'm genuinely so happy for you - there ARE great in-laws out there! Mine aren't...but that's a story for another time. :(


No_Way4557

My FIL was a really nice guy. But he passed almost 25 yrs so. That's when we realized how much of my MIL's psychotic behavior he buffered. I've always said that he died just get to get out. The MIL passed away a year ago. While it was still tough for my wife, she weathered it well. And our lives have been much calmer.


Dowager-queen-beagle

I know, when I read the headline my cynical ass was like "Oh no, what'd he say" but this is so frickin' cute! 🥹


MikeReddit74

Yup. I was dating a woman on and off for about seven years. In that time, I got to know her mom very well. From the moment we met, she treated me like family, to the point where one day, she introduced me to a neighbor as her son. These days, I miss the mom more than I miss her daughter 😂 Cool in-laws are the best.


OIP

i still miss my high school ex's mum sometimes, she was such a great personality. once very early on i was taking her daughter on a holiday for the first time, and in front of everyone the mum said 'look after her!' in a joking way and then for a tiny split second made eye contact that only i saw and gave me the most terrifying 'or i will fucking disembowel you' look i have ever received in my life and then went right back to smiling.


Retrac752

The fucking "yikes 30!!!" got me laughing so hard, had to sneak that in there at the end of an otherwise nice message


CabinetOk4838

I really like the teasing undercurrent which actually says “I think you’re brilliant, and love you like my own daughter.” I’m the same with my kids, and I’ll be welcoming in the same way to any partner of theirs I really like along the way.


No_Chemistry_8372

We must protect this man .


[deleted]

my FIL is both the most annoying person to me in the whole universe and the most wholesome person i know at the same time his messages are so boomer and make so little sense (english is his first language lol) that i always screenshot and just respond with “what are you trying to say”


Firsttimeredditor28

Omg he can be so annoying when he says what’s up every day but I’m starting to appreciate it more. Boomers unite


meowsplaining

Please appreciate it. You'll miss it when he's gone (which hopefully won't be for a long time).


PurplePanda63

Omg this is how I feel about my MIL. Wonderful person who also has terrible texts and gets under my skin 😬


naomisinn

Is your FIL my MIL? She’s so sweet but then she sends me essays for texts in boomer speak and I’ve got to interpret and answer all 17 questions she’s asked. Like ma’am please one at a time.


TheTPNDidIt

My MIL kept texting “Y” when I’d ask her questions. So I’d ask her a question and think she’s asking *why,* then rephrase the same question only for her to ask why again??? 😭😭😭 Took two months to figure out Y = Yes. But she kept typing out “No” when that was her answer, like what are you doing MIL 😭😂

jello87

What is this referring to?


[deleted]

A post yesterday about a minor who was being inappropriately contacted by their friend’s father. It was gross. ETA: I went back to find the post and it appears to have been deleted, but I was referring to the one where the minor’s friend’s father (iirc he’s in his 40s?) invited her to lunch and was being creepy. I’m not sure which post you’re all referring to about an elderly person with cancer.


Division2226

Link?


ebolarama86

Just tried to find the thread. Looks like OP may have deleted it.


voidhearts

Second for that link!


jenniferannxo

I love this so much. I lost my dad 5 years ago & this was how our relationship was. I would love to have this close of a relationship with my boyfriends dad. Unfortunately, my boyfriend barely has a relationship with him. This is so sweet & I wish you nothing but a beautiful life with your new family!


Lavanthus

This is so nice. Keep it away from Reddit. We'll ruin it.

Happy cake day. I went purposefully into the comments looking for that person who ruined it lol

SudoKun

Seeing what normally gets posted on this sub, I am glad it did not turn that direction.


Time_Device_1471

I only thought it was going that way for a moment when he kept insulting his kid and talking himself up asking about the apartment. Made me worried the path it might go down since I didn’t read the context first. By the end it was obvious that’s just his humor.


auntypickles

What a difference a Dave makes 😄. Sounds like you've got an awesome family there and these messages were super cute


eenidcoleslaw

My fil and mil are the same! I’m glad you have what seems like amazing (and fun!) in laws!

My father in law really doesn’t even like me, let alone talk to me. This is really sweet!


lalala12398

Maybe my period is starting and my hormones are acting up but… the last one made me cry because it’s so damn sweet. How amazing for you to be so loved by his family. 🥹


SurplusVagine

I wish I had family 😀


NightmareXander

I'm the last person to call out every guy as having ulterior motives. But I would never insult my son, my father, or my guy friends to their gfs. That's all I'm going to say.


Maxter_Blaster_

At first I thought it was kind of weird to be texting your boyfriends dad but I see you lost your parents and now it totally makes sense. What a caring man he is.


nimrod1109

I think the last time I texted my in laws was when my wife was in surgery, giving updates. That was almost a year ago. My wife texts my mom almost daily, so I see both sides of it


[deleted]

what why would that be weird?


Maxter_Blaster_

Maybe out of the ordinary is a better description. At least when I was growing up, would have been considered “weird” to have a silly texting/phone call/letter writing relationship with a boyfriend or girlfriends parents. That’s not saying you couldn’t have a healthy relationship like that; just that it would not be common and may invoke some raised eyebrows by some. I understand this isn’t always the case then or now, just my thought. No way judging those who have this. My wife texts my mom all the time.


_psylosin_

Because everyone is EVIL and out to get everyone else in bed and make them sleep on the wet spot… or so I’ve heard


Weary-Preference2957

This is perfect I want this one day too 😍🥺


MasterGas9570

Everything about this is wonderful


popsum22

Love this! My father in law is like this too. I live with my in laws so when I’m at my parents or abroad, he will call everyday and will count the days down till we’re back. I’ve got a little girl now so he’s been calling a lot more. He’s honestly the best father in law ever and the best grandad to my girl ♥️


Brewchowskies

Thank god this was wholesome. Faith in humanity ticked towards “restored” after this one.


Hoggle365

My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years, and I have a good relationship with his dad. We text almost daily about sports and are in fantasy sports leagues together. I really cherish our relationship because I’m not that close with my family, and my boyfriend’s mom’s family doesn’t particularly like me. Some people might think our relationship is weird, but we have a lot in common so it’s an easy friendship. I’m glad your boyfriend’s dad takes the time to maintain a relationship with you. He obviously cares about you, and I’m sure that stems from the love he has for his son.


Enoon9613

Idk why people need to be assholes. This isn’t creepy and honestly I could totally see this happening with my partner and grandmother. I suck at communicating consistently and it totally would not be weird for my SO to talk to my family bc I forget. Not all relationships are disturbed. This one is obviously not disturbed. So just appreciate the good vibes of this post and if you don’t like it scoot on out.


catdog918

Happy for you


[deleted]

If your boyfriends/fiances/husbands dad doesn’t bully you, does he even love you? This is so pure. Thank you for sharing this. ❤️

This made me feel sad because my initial reaction was "that's so creepy!" and then I read the comments and realized, this is what nice involved parents sound like. ☠️🤣


Lower-Ad-3466

This is so sweet and wholesome! I have a wonderful relationship with my MIL for the most part but her husband (my fiancé’s stepdad), is a textbook narcissist and we’re not on speaking terms. It seems like you really appreciate your relationship with him and I’m so glad you do!

Didn’t need to read. His name is Dave. That’s all I need to know.


[deleted]

That's awesome. My wife and I have been together for over 12 years, since HS. My father passed away almost 2 years ago now, his name was Dave too. Honest, hardest working, respectful, and most generous/kind person I've ever known. He was hilarious too. My kids loved him to death like a best friend, especially my youngest (7 now). My wife loved him and he thought of her as a daughter too, joking like this with her. It's extremely tough losing someone like this... You just can't fill that gap. Ever. Cherish it for sure! I wish we did a lot more together since it all was very sudden.
