[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does your dh allow her to be mean to you? I don’t get why he isn’t shutting this down and standing up to her [/quote]

He probably agrees. [/quote]

OP here. He has confronted her over what he and I heard directly with our own ears. He said if she chooses to talk badly about any member of our family in our own home, they can no longer visit our home. He also said that if she chooses to talk badly about any of our family in her home or on vacation or whatever, we will leave.

And then he hears from his cousin and others the thing she says about me at their houses or at restaurants, etc.

The things she generally has a problem with is that I don’t share her exact denomination of religion, and I don’t entertain in precisely the same way she does. DH and I work together on holiday celebrations and hosting, and she can’t get over that we don’t embrace the Santa tradition, even though we do celebrate Christmas. It’s just petty, silly things like that and she makes it a huge deal and tries to undermine and subvert and do things her way. DH used to incorporate certain traditions from his childhood so it’s not like it was “all my way,” but over time we’ve made our own way and she can’t get over the differences. She can’t get over that I’m not her exact same denomination. It’s hurtful. [/quote]
