Words can hurt.
We all know this saying.
And probably all of us, or at least the majority, know that its true.
The woman from todays story can agree with it, too.
They met while he was on an exchange program in the OPs country Belgium.
He loved it there so much that he decided to move to Belgium from the US.
So, the couple decided to tell this to the mans parents during a Zoom call.
The OP explained everything very calmly, but the reaction she got back wasnt as calm.
The fiances mom started screaming, accusing the woman of various out-of-pocket things and insulting her heritage.
And it didnt end with the call.
Of course, this also included her surname, if she had one.
Fortunately, over time, women were able to achieve more and more rights through various reforms.
Still, some leftover bias from such patriarchal systems like the one we talked about still exists even today.
The perfect example of it is people like the OPs in-laws.
They believe that a woman should take her mans surname to show a real dedication.
Yet, currently, thats not a thing that some people seem to comprehend.
