Sounds like not the girl to marry
Posted on 10/28/14 at 8:14 pm to lsufan27
This is all too vague. Is she a legitimate sloppy drunk on more than just the weekends? Is your family trashy, very conservative, narrow minded, etc.? Too many factors to just say dump her arse. You're 34, you have to be an adult and weigh the consequences of a worst case scenario yourself, and decide if you're willing to accept such consequences.

If the fighting and "heightened opinionation" occurs primarily when she is intoxicated - You know the thing that is the issue. Is this the same issue your parents are seeing? It's possible that it will work itself out on its own (I know lots of women that chill after their 20s on their own)... but it could also get worse.

End it and provide the digits so I can console her.

Dump her

It never ends well when you family hates your gf or wife. You will be in for a lifetime of fights and drama at family get-togethers, holiday dinners and especially if you have kids with her one day. She will expect you to take her side at all times.
There is something wrong if your entire family does not like her. I am lucky to have amazing inlaws. It makes life so much easier when everyone gets along.
My husband's parents hated his first 2 wives. When they met me his parents told him " Look, you picked your first 2 wives and that didn't work out too well, so let us pick your next wife". They picked me, lol.

Listen, right now, you're blinded by love. Your family sees right thru her, but you can't bc you're in love. You better think long and hard about making an exit strategy from this relationship. I've been there.

Is she a Jew or not?

She's cute and smart, but opinionated, drinks too much and will be an obstinate fricker when drunk. But, I love her and we have fun. My family loves me to death and has my best interests at heart. Don't know what to do
Are you willing to deal with that crap for the rest of your life, plus some other bad crap that you don't even know about yet?
Things never get better with marriage. If you're lucky, they stay exactly the same.
Listen to your family.

If you had to choose, which would you go with: her or your family? That's the answer.

OP: Run like your hair is on fire. Break up with her, functioning drunks at age twenty-eight move on to their next victim/enabler easily, she'll slip off quietly into the ether.
You do not want to mix DNA in offspring with her.
You do not want to try to "fix" her.
You need to totally break off all relations and contact with her. (no FWB, etc)
Your family is right and you are wrong, listen to them.
Before you break up with her, PIIHB while she's drunkliyish and yell out "Shazaam!" like Gomer Pyle when you release. A rusty trombone session for her might be in the works too. Think of it a parting gift as it may be her rock-bottom moment for therapy. You're doing it out of love.

You're 34. I'm sorry, but I'm 32 and if my family didn't like my girlfriend, I would probably tell them to frick right off.

You're screwed, enjoy the dealing with cops later on.

Tough spot.
It's hard to leave a fun, pretty, and smart woman. Most people from the outside would jump at the chance to coupled with her.
You've had the opportunity to date her, which in our society really means to give her a "try-out." Now you know her. Good and bad.
Based on your own reluctance, what your family has told you, and what you HAVEN'T told us, you should have serious doubts. BUT IT's SO HARD TO LEAVE HER!
Stick it out, if you must. But know this, as life progresses, picks up more responsibilities, stresses, and obligations... more often than not, we don't become better people... we just get worse at what we're bad at.
Be careful tying yourself to her. Good luck.

If momma doesn't like her, run. Momma will always look out for the interest of her boy.

I dont know what I'd do. I'm lucky that my wife gets along with my family better than i do.
But one half of the argument is that YOU are marrying her, not your family. Make sure you are happy.
The other side is, if your family isn't happy, does that make you unhappy.
I'm 99% sure my wife's, paternal grandmother hates my MIL (and probably rightfully so). Because of that, my wife's family wasn't as close with that side of the family and it shows. They are just starting to come around now that we have a kid and it's shocking to my wife. I couldn't imagine not being close with my grandparents.
