Funeral goes badly

Supporting your wife should have been your priority not your own feelings, I appreciate sometimes it’s easier said than done but in some situations we just gotta suck it up

Should have stayed and sat quietly in the corner with whatever choice of drink. Going to be very difficult to make this up with your Mrs and tbh if you're not being accepted by her family might be worth calling it off for her sake.

There’s always an odd fellow sitting in the corner on his own getting bladdered at funerals.

I tend not to get invited to weddings and funerals for in laws, the hell if I know why.... :) I don't think I have ever attended one of either where there hasn't been an undercurrent of animosity, if not a full blown row. I'm getting a bit long in the tooth for fighting, maybe they'll reconsider again...

You're right. I just couldn't see it at the time. I have a lot of bad mental issues due to family abuse and neglect. It gets a bit too much. Feel sick about it now.
 
You were wrong. Big time. Just being there was support for your wife, regardless if her family didn't talk to you for whatever reason.

Told the Mrs I would attend her father's funeral in support of her and that I wouldn't be attending the wake. I then decided I would attend the wake

You obviously didn't have any other important engagements, so your reason for not attending the wake at first was simply that you didn't want to?
I'm not surprised her family were a bit cold with you after that.
 
Lol.

You’ve got a lot of growing up to do, OP. Sound like a petulant child, full of excuses and justifications for your selfish behaviour.

Did you make this thread to show your girlfriend how wrong she is if everyone agreed with you?
 
I would expect poo through your letterbox for many years to come.

You messed up. I cannot stand my mother in law, she is a horrible woman. However, I would never dream of not attending her funeral. Sometimes in life you gotta suck it up and put up with misery for a few hours for the benefit of others.
 
Funerals are one of the few modern rites that haven't been yoofed up for the under 25s and still retain some
elements of old fashioned values , [ everyone wearing green for the deceased and horse drawn hearses notwithstanding ]
pretending to mourn someone you barely knew is one of them, being sociable to people you'd rather ignore
is another.

I'm with you, do the church service, but dodge the tea and ham sandwiches, plead the headaches.

A faux pas, nothing more, she'll get over it.
 
Pure manchild, it's not difficult to sit there and endure a few hours with people who've got no interest in you, in fact, you leaving probably felt like a win to them.
