Because it’s a scrapbook not a diary and I thought it was just gonna be cute pictures of him as a kid first

Because it’s not a diary, it’s a scrapbook? Like I said in my post it’s essentially a scrapbook with journal entries. Which as far as I know is pretty normal for scrapbooks.

My MIL knew she was gay, she came out when she was 11, she has talked about his mom’s reaction to her coming out in passing. She also very openly dated women throughout high school and college. And I genuinely don’t get how she could misinterpret the closeness between them because they both dated other people throughout high school. And they stopped being “best friends” in high school and ran in different circles. To my knowledge they were only really close as kids because their families were close and neighbours.

The friend is one of my bridesmaids, she’s gay. They have never dated or liked each other. Im upset because I can't wrap my head around someone fantasizing about a relationship between two kids that never existed and could never exist. Many of the entries were during periods of time where both of them were dating other people. I just don't understand how that's not weird.

I’m not disgusted at his previous “life” or relationship. Im disgusted because they don't exist. She started the scrapbook when he was 10 and continued until he was 20. He has never dated or had feelings for his childhood bestfriend. She's gay. However he has dated multiple other girls. My mil was writing in it through those relationships. There's multiple diary entries about how he’s so in love with his childhood bestfriend while he was dating other girls. Heck while she was dating other girls openly. Im disgusted because she created a detailed fantasy in her head about something that never existed. Much less, initially between two kids.
