So you people don't talk about your day? IE "Small Talk"? I guess when you live in "The Big City" you are more busy talking about violence, police brutality, the last time your car got stolen.
My MIL is from FL and does the same thing. She'll go on and on and on and on about nothing. This is no joke - in the past she would ramble on, barely taking a breath, for well over 30 minutes straight. When we first started dating my wife would get a call from her late in the evening (10pm-ish, my MIL is a night owl), and wake up at 3am with the phone on her chest because she fell asleep while her mother was talking.
She seems to have improved in this regard, she no longer calls late at night and when my wife talks to her, she does at least get some words in occasionally.
I lulz at people taking this seriously given the years of post from him.
A freedomsbeat by any other name...
It really is impressive, the ability to ramble on for hours when there's nada going on in your life. The best part of "breaking up" is that there are no more daily hour long phone calls or hundred texts a day - my wife spoke to her so much that I had to think about the MIL every day, part of the problem
Hmm, I suppose I posted another thread about my inlaws because this is a free country, at least from what I recall... I'll be sure to private msg you for permission before posting in the future! Thanks, sir!
You forbade your wife/MIL from talking/texing to each other as well? Thats abit much.
(I bet it has more to do with them being right wing christians than their zip code, to be honest)
A snippet from the OP...
I've read a few replies to your OP, including some of your replies. What exactly does the above snippet have to do with telling long, boring stories? Or are you just another bile-spewing liberal atheist, like so many that inhabit P&N?
Yeah, your in-laws sound rather dull. But maybe they're content with their uncomplicated lives and don't walk around with a perpetual stick up their a** like you do.
Well, her church services are long and boring maybe that's where she learned it... Mostly I was referring to my prior threads, they (my inlaws) are pretty heartily lgbt and they're the ones who quote the bible to "prove" their point. In fact, I'm rather positive they mention it on purpose to egg us on (for reference, her cousin was disowned and no one attended his gay wedding). I rarely bash christianity because I'm a church goer myself (grand dad a minister, one who respected all faiths and was pretty liberal and ahead of his time). So apologies if I offended, I have *Nothing* against Christianity, just how some people follow it. Same way I have nothing against islam, but how some people pervert it. Not to derail, I"m pretty much done venting but I'm obviously unemployed and have time on my hand
I can think of some bible verses you should read that will show you how to treat your MIL.

You guys are so easily offended, just like my MIL. If someone asked me why NYers were assholes I wouldn't be offended, I may punch them, but I wouldn't be offended
Homerboy wasnt offended, he just wanted to share his opinion with the world. He is kind and gentle and likes to share. That warmth is typical of mid-westerners. Most of us value kindness above correctness. I happen to be an ass, so I do not fit in so well sometimes. Ohh well.
We just like to annoy supposed "enlightened" big city folk.
The bible does have it's share of long, boring stories. Don't get me wrong, there are kickass stories in there as well with whales, giants, decapitations, and cool stuff like that but by and large, there's a whole lot of begatting and sermonizing to wade through to get to the good parts. Sort of like Avatar.What exactly does the above snippet have to do with telling long, boring stories?
You are late to the club, but welcome.jeez slacker, for someone who hates stereotypes, you sure do love them
Talk about profiling!You know why people from "the middle of nowhere, USA" like to blow shit up, shoot guns, and race everything on wheels? Because that's all there is.
