Okay. This is not what you're thinking. I'm actually not going to bash her. I actually feel sorry for her. And not just because she's dating my ex. ;)
Michael's (my ex-boyfriend) family loved me. They thought that I was awesome. They knew that Michael probably wouldn't ever do any better because he's a douche (most of the time), and he's not an attractive guy. hahaha... gotta get that in. :) Anyway, they knew that I treated him well and loved him and he shouldn't have treated me the way that he did.
Well, his family still misses me. I talk to them when I'm in Indiana and I still send birthday and Christmas cards, etc. It seems that now they have put me on a pedestal which cannot be touched. I am near perfect in their eyes now. They've raised me way above what I ever was. And this girl stands no chance. They don't like her for multiple good reasons (she's 6 years younger than him -- 18 to his 24, she faked a pregnancy, she's a mooch, she smokes, etc.), but she seems to be a sweet girl. She just has some growing up to do. And she's cute.
However, I think she is seen as lower than what she is simply because she is not me. I feel bad for her. I know that the Thayers have definitely raised me to a higher level than I deserve. They're remembering me as even more awesome than what I am! ;) I hope that they'll get over it. I don't think that Michael and this girl really belong together, but I feel bad for her all the same. She's not getting a fair chance or a clean slate. She seems to be dealing with it all the same, though.
I'm glad that I didn't have any high standards to live up to with Joe's family. Of course, Joe's ex-girlfriends were mostly just casual and the one that was serious, was crazy, so I didn't have much to compete with. And beyond that, Joe doesn't really speak to most of his family, so even if he did have ex-girlfriends, there wouldn't be anyone comparing me to them. So, I guess in that respect, I have it easy. However, I really miss having cool "in-laws."
