[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP...My therapist is female...

My problem is...I never talk ill of my MIL "just because." It is usually after a night with them, she does something or says something rude or distasteful. I point it out to DH.

Am I in the wrong?[/quote]

I wouldn't say you're wrong but I would say that you're not going about this in a particularly smart way. How would you feel if your DH only ever opened his mouth to talk about one of the dearest people in your life when he wanted to criticize them? You'd get defensive, right?

If I were you I wouldn't get into a power struggle over this. Pick another hill to die on. Instead, consider either a) telling your friends about the shitty behavior of your MIL instead of your DH or b) try talking about your MIL to your DH with broader perspective that incorporates her perspective and her good qualities as well as the things that bother you. If you choose b you *might* be able to get the understanding from your DH that you're clearly looking for. [/quote]
