Constant criticism of my husband-to-be from family

Assalamu alaikum, I’m honestly drained. My family keeps picking apart my fiancé for the smallest things. I know I’ve only met him twice in person, even though we’ve been talking for months, but I don’t go looking for faults the way they do. They say he’s too thin, his legs look weak, he sits with his legs spread. When I said plenty of men sit like that, my mom said, ‘But his feet point outward, not straight,’ and that he walks oddly. It’s just exhausting hearing this nonstop.

Sis, that sounds exhausting. My family was the same about my husband's height. If he has good deen and character, trust your gut. May Allah make it easy for you.

Oof, I feel you. My mom once complained my husband has 'too soft' hands. It hurts, but your marriage is yours, not theirs. Hang in there.
