You're in a relationship with her. If she wants her family to be part of her life, and by extension yours, you will need to bury that part of you that judges them and spend time them.

It's okay to talk to her about how the family makes you feel, but if you're drawing a line in the sand that says you're not willing to try to support her, I wouldn't count on being in that relationship long-term, and that might be the best for both of you.

"I love your family!"

"Yes, but I hate yours and because I don't want to put the needs of my partner before myself, in an area that really I should be able to, don't expect anything from me."

Its like... okay to not be big on your gf's family... my gf like despises my mom... it is what it is, you shouldnt have to like walk on eggshells about it. I feel since she knew you were already not super i to her fam she maybe should have been more prepared for a no to the trip thing?

Have experience moving glass. If you put the wrong pressure anywhere (particularly edges and corners, and it can be the glass' own weight as well that does it) it just insta-poofs into shards and dust. Though this is tempered/treated glass.

Was resting a shower door on my foot while a customer was getting her car ready and a corner happened to touch the concrete. I didnt even feel the glass touch the concrete. Boof, no more door.

Happens. But for anyone out there: you cant manhandle stuck tempered glass, because it wont flex and you can never tell where the forces are at (usually edges and corners, or otherwise hardware that concentrates forces) always deal with the tracks or hardware if you can. And have an extra person to distribute weight....glass is heavy furthering the risk.
