In-Laws Create Chaos In Family As They Harass Their Son’s Fiancée Over Keeping Her Maiden Name

“Words can hurt.” We all know this saying. And probably all of us, or at least the majority, know that it’s true.

The woman from today’s story can agree with it, too. She was hurt by the people from the family she was marrying into because she wasn’t planning on taking her fiancé’s last name after the wedding, as it wasn’t even legal in her home country. And who wouldn’t be hurt after getting called a B-word by people you thought would never do that, right?

    I am a writer at Bored Panda. I have loved creating and writing down stories about people and things since I was little and I think this passion led me to get degrees in sociology, communication, and journalism. These degrees opened various paths for me, and I got a chance to be a volunteer in the human rights field, and also try myself out in social research and journalism areas. Besides writing, my passions include pop culture: music, movies, TV shows; literature, and board games. In fact, I have been dubbed a board games devotee by some people in my life.

    I'm pretty sure they wear MAGA hats and worship their orange god in the Cult of Trump.

    If "respecting someones culture" involves them screaming at you and calling you names when you make a choice that affects you greatly, that is not a cultural musunderstanding. Besides, what culture is "feminist b***h" exactly?
