Thanks for taking the time to read my post! Please help if you can. |
Don't resist his parents. Your resistance keeps their dysfunction alive. You've tried to change the dinner time/location to no avail. It's time to start surrendering to the moment and stop resisting what is.
What is, is the dinner is 32 miles away and it's paid for. If you don't like that you can try to change it, get out your credit card and have your own rehearsal dinner without them, or let go of your expectations that dinner has to be "this way" and enjoy your dinner. That's your choice.
