Man Excluded from In-Laws’ Family Portraits for Years

We all know that in-laws can be a bit… tricky. But imagine being excluded from family portraits for YEARS because you’re not considered “family” yet! That’s what happened to one man, who wasn’t allowed in his in-laws’ annual holiday family portraits despite dating and eventually marrying their daughter. To make matters worse, his mother-in-law and sisters-in-law’s exes were included in the photos, even though their marriages ended in messy divorces! Let’s dive into this wild story.
