Re: Marrying a Convert
My dh's family went crazy. His mom threatened to have a heart attack and die if he married me... looking back I have no idea how we went forward with all that nonsense. However, if it had been his sister, they probably would have cut her off forever.
You know, the interesting thing is, there have been dozens of divorces and problems in the "arranged, emotional-blackmail-style" marriages, and we're still rolling along, all these years later, and the people who were the most cruel have had the most problems in their own marriages/children's marriages. Karma anyone? :)
