I resent and despise my GF's grandmother.
She is one of the most miserable, selfish and depressing human beings I have ever met.
She is depressed because her husband passed away years ago - this I can understand. But due to this, she feels it is appropriate to bring everyone else in the room down with her. Nobody else is allowed to be happy because she isn't.
Whenever I ask her how she is, there is always something wrong. She can barely walk due to her age, but always insists on doing everything (the dishes etc) without accepting help when offered, then will complain about the pain later on to make everyone else feel guilty. Because of reasons like this, she is physically exhausting to be around.
Once when she was visiting and stayed over, I went downstairs to grab a drink and say goodnight, I deliberately avoided the living room she was in and crept past so she wouldn't know I was there.
Same when she was leaving the next day, I used an alternative route through the house and trod quietly so she wouldn't know where I was so I didn't have to say goodbye to her.
She feels it is acceptable to display no manners anymore. When speaking to people, when at the table or anything really. I sat next to her at the table once and almost gagged at the noises that were coming out of her cement mixer of a mouth!
Every time I go to bring this up with my gf as I always want to be honest. I feel bad and decide to just leave it. It isn't her fault and there is no point burdening her with any stress over it.
I used to just let it slide. But one time when we were passing by we knocked on the her door to say hello and there was no answer. We thought nothing of it and went home. My GF called her grandma just to make sure all was ok and all she got was yelled at down the phone for "leaving" her there when she could've fallen over and been in pain or something and we would never known because we walked away after knocking it reduced my GF to tears. Since then I'm blunt enough with her to the point where I am just outright rude. My GFs Dad (the grandmas son) has clocked the change and understands. He understands what his own mother is like and doesn't blame me for the way I act at all.
