Redditors who've met the parents slash family of the person you intend to marry and then decided against marrying them after meeting them.

What happened?

I was staying at the girlfriend's parents' house.

First morning, father was outfeeding animals.

Girlfriend and her mother were getting breakfast ready.

I saw my girlfriend put what I thought was an artificial sweetener

in her father's coffee. I asked if I could try one. She explained to me it was not a sweetener,

but a chill pill. They kept her father dozed. I decided right there and then I was not going to be

part of this family. So many, many years ago, I was engaged to a big heaping bull of crazy.

I was also in the military.

In a rather selective unit, we had just gotten back from a deployment, and I'll freely admit

that I wasn't a ray of sunshine to be around.

When we first got back, our training tempo was pretty mild, so we could adjust being back

to life in the States.

One thing was really weird, though, I'd see her every weekend, and for the weekend and a few

days after, I wouldn't be feeling great.

I wasn't sick or anything.

My mind would just be foggy. Then she decided to move

up to where I could see her throughout the week. The fogginess went away for a while,

but I'd still be getting these weird things going on with my body. I stopped doing the

deed almost completely. I always felt like I was dragging my body. It was really weird because I was young

and in phenomenal shape. One week, we had a three-day-long field exercise towards the end of the week.
