Your relationship with your in-laws is one of the most important but trickiest to handle. If you're lucky, you get a set of in-laws who treat you like their own child, who respect your boundaries and are all-around decent human beings. Unfortunately, not everyone is blessed with such perfect in-laws, and if you have a particularly bad set, they can make your life pretty miserable. These people share the worst gifts they've received from their in-laws, and I won't lie; they are bad. The passive-aggression behind the thoughtless gestures are enough to give anyone the message that their in-laws hate their guts. In-laws: the gifts that keep on giving.

Ladies, before tying the knot, it's essential to understand how much of a mommy's boy you're marrying and how healthy the dynamics of the family that you're marrying into are. If your future husband doesn't put you before his mom, sister, or other family members, then you might have a big issue with boundaries on your hands. One woman discovered this the hard way when she found her wedding dress missing from her closet. It turns out that her fiancé had taken the dress over to his mom's house, who was upset that she hadn't been part of the dress-buying process. His mom and sister then proceeded to try on the dress, stretching it out, so it no longer fitted the bride, and then refused to replace it. The understandably furious bride posted on Reddit's Am I The A-Hole, asking whether or not she was right to be upset at the evident lack of respect she was receiving from her fiancé and his family. The responses were unanimously telling her not to ignore the glaring red flags of lack of boundaries and walk away. Here is the story, with some of the best comments in response.
