Am I being unreasonable/ rude?
I live with my boyfriend, and have lived with him for about a year and a half. Recently we moved from our apartment into his Great Grandmother’s home that she lived in for about 63 years. They didn’t know we lived together until we moved, and they still don’t know that we lived together at the apartment. Anyways, my boyfriend’s Great Grandma didn’t die, she went to a home, and we decided to rent the house since it was cheaper than our apartment and we could get a dog. Before we moved in, we had to clean the place up as she was blind and couldn’t see much. She also had a cat that peed on the floor so bad we had to rip the carpet up out of the dining room. We did various things to the house to improve the looks, as well as the value. One of the things that we weren’t allowed to do was replacing the counter top, as my boyfriend’s great grandpa was the one who put it in. My boyfriend’s grandma (not great grandma) was the one who wouldn’t let us do it, and started crying because I asked. I really was thinking of her as well as my own taste because the 35 year old counter top is not a selling point of the house and to replace it would bring more money when they sell it. I didn’t know what to do, other than to leave the counter top alone. She also wouldn’t give anything to a secondhand store when moving everything out, expecting me to want everything because it was already there. There were many times when she would cry in this process (remember, her mother’s not dead).
About 2 weeks ago, my boyfriend’s Great Uncle died. They can’t bury him until spring when the ground thaws, so they just had a memorial service. My boyfriend worked that night, so I felt almost like it was my place to go for the both of us. I didn’t go because I knew that my boyfriend’s grandma would be there, and the tears would be falling. It makes me extremely uncomfortable when she cries. My family sees funerals as get-togethers, we don’t stay in the past, we just joke around and enjoy eachother’s company. I feel like I should have gone, but I also think I would have felt extremely out of place.
Am I being rude to my boyfriend’s family if I don’t want to keep some of his great-grandma’s things and by not attending his uncle’s memorial? Does anyone have any advice about how to deal with uncomfortable situations like this?
P.S. This was also posted in etiquette. The more answers the merrier, right?
Hell no you’re not being rude or unreasonable. I think it was best that you left the countertop alone, but as far as the old stuff goes, maybe you should ask the grandma what she wants to do with it, since you ‘don’t have room for the stuff’, and see what she says. And as far as the memorial service goes, I WOULDN’T HAVE GONE EITHER! Why should you go if your own boyfriend won’t go? Work or not it was HIS relative and if the uncle wasn’t important enough for him to go, then why should the uncle have been important to you?! What is wrong with some of these answers that say you’re a cold hearted
b!tch to do what you’ve done? They are IDIOTS! I don’t blame you one bit!!! And Swan Song don’t be jealous because she’s got a bf and you don’t! You are a moron!!!

No I don’t think you are being rude. I can see how this is touchy. My bfs parents wanted us to take a lot of their old furniture (not really the same scenario) but it was gross and I wanted to pic out stuff to fit my taste. You need to tell them politely that you don’t have room for the furniture, maybe suggest helping them sell it on Craigslist. Also, I think your BF should be the one to approach them about it, not you. Tell him it is awkward and see if he can talk to them since they are his family.

Rude? Probably not. Out of line, Most likely. You are, as loved by your boyfriend, as you are, still just his girlfriend. These people, not knowing that you two have been living together for a year, see you as a fling. Just a girl that their boy is messing his life up with. Remember, they are from a different generation. One in which people got married, then moved in together. You, have made no commitment to their family, by marrying the guy, and as such, you are still an outsider in the decision making process.
Being unmarried, you have no stake in the place. You have no legal rights to any of it, and your ideas are of no importance to them. If you were his wife, they would hope for the two of you to be together forever, and as such, plan for the future of the house, as someone who could possibly inherit it someday.
If they want it kept as a shrine to the grandparents, it is their right. You should feel lucky to have a place to stay, for the year or two more that the two of you will probably be together.
Make a commitment. Get married, Buy the house with money you both share, and then do with it what you will.

Yes, you’re absolutely horrid. I am shocked that you even thought that it was all right to badger the grandmother let alone went ahead and did so! What is going on within that mind of yours?
You are a renter and you may not renovate the house without the landlord’s permission and you’ve no place evaluating its monetary worth - it will not be your house nor your money. As for the funeral, you were very cruel and selfish for not having attended. I agree with the other person, if I were your boyfriend, I’d dump you.
