Sometimes I'm glad I keep my mouth shut. At least in public, anyway. On Sun, having got about 2 hours' sleep after a day-long bachelor party, I met my brother's fiancee's family and friends and formed a distinctly negative impression of them, which I carried on into the rest of the week.
When she and he had a pretty fierce argument on Thurs while I was moving her into their new place, it underlined my fears and I nearly spoke my mind about it.
Yesterday I had a talk to my mum about something fairly unrelated (my dad) and in a few short minutes over the course of the conversation, my opinion of myself, my brother and what we need from life changed.
Today it was apparent to me that my bro's fiancee was just the person my bro needs. Her family are lovely and her friends are just as nice.
I have a bunch of awesome in-laws now. I have no idea how or even whether I can exploit this, but I'm quite excited about having them in my life and looking forward to a future that involves them.
