Been with my husband for 16 years.. he recently got a new job that he has to dress nice for,a few weeks ago I made a comment on how handsome my husband looks in his new office clothes bc I never see him dressed like that and my mil responded with “he looks handsome naked too”.. she ALWAYS has to try & “one up” me in some type of way. It’s insane & disgusting

My mil thought she could treat me disrespectfully just like how she treats her kids! They’re gonna forgive her cause she’s their mom, obviously. But she’s not my mom, she’s just a lady I met a few years ago!! No thanks and bye!

We have the opposite problem. Enmeshment with her mother. Only hear from them when they want money or co-signer on something we can’t even afford. When we tell them no, both get nasty.

As soon as they got weird with me, I removed myself and my kids. It’s not my job to teach them how to treat people or remove the blinders on their family system. I am over here living in safety and peace with my family and I wish the same for them.

My MIL betrayed my husband and then tried to win him back when we were dating. She tried to use me as an ally to change his mind. It took me some time to figure it out while I was building a new relationship with her. Once he gave me the go ahead to disengage with her our relationship has never been the same. My MIL blames me for the disconnect between her and her son when really it was the betrayal she committed when he was younger. I was unwilling to facilitate a relationship between them over her issues. This is still the case 2 decades later but now his father is in bad health and there’s a lot of cow towing toward him despite his decades of emotional abuse. My husband is even reconsidering his relationship with his father despite the mistreatment. It’s a really hard place to be in between a spouse who wants to hear amends from their abuser and wanting the best for the spouse so that means family functions together. I’ve been the enemy and the only support they’ve ever needed. They don’t know what to do with me. They blame me for poor relationships with their family and count on me to hype my husband up to be there for them in their old age.

I’ve seen a lot of SILs hate that they can’t pass on their maiden name the same way their brother will. Rooted in jealousy

I think the reason my MIL acts the way she does is because I refuse to be a 1950s housewife. He is in charge of communication with his family. He is in charge of their gifts, ect. Just bc I'm the wife, doesn't mean I have to do everything, I have my own family to do all that with. If they don't hear from him, that is his choice.

I denied this reality for so long bc I really just wanted a "loving family". Then one day she asked my husband how his wedding night went. 8 years after we got married. In front of a room of 10+ family members. I was mortified and it changed everything

I don’t speak to my in laws because they gossip and are so nosey. They constantly wanna know what’s going on with everything in our lives and I do not allow it. I like privacy and my mil try’s to treat my husband like a child. It’s weird

Yes my mil was enmeshed with her son. She said I stole him and he was happy to escape her shackles. We haven’t seen or spoken to her in 4 years. We’ve never been happier

Especially his female cousins. I remember asking him if they are blood related because the looks I used to receive from some of them was crazy. It was like I stole their man.😁😂

Best decision made was to keep it surface only. How are they? Good have a good day! Stop coming around and stopped hosting. Negative energy is draining and if it comes to your home it can cause issues.

Agreed ! No matter what you do you’ll always be wrong. They always find something to nitpick on you and because if there’s an event and I don’t wanna go, I’m not gonna go. I’m not gonna sit there and just do whatever they wanna do when they wanna do it how they wanna do it so I’m always seeing as a problem but yet they never wanna do anything with my best interest so the energy is reciprocated
