[quote=Anonymous]I know, ANOTHER MIL post!  My future MIL is apparently not my biggest fan.  I actually thought she liked me and that we got along quite well.  I guess it is the typical, "she is the reason I don't see my son as often as I should/used to/would like to" drama.  There are aspects about my personality or things I may have done that she doesn't care for, but nothing worthy of dislike.  People are different, so be it!  We are also polar opposites religiously and politically, though never discuss it.  I have always gone out of my way to be kind to her and have encouraged my partner to do things for her birthday and mother's day.  She recently made her feelings toward me known.  My SO is choosing to not speak to his mother until she apologizes.  He is 41 and not childish or holding a grudge.  He simply doesn't have any desire to approach her.  My question here is... Should I encourage him to reach out for Mother's Day?  Should I reach out, even though she was a complete B* to me?  They have otherwise had a good relationship.  She is very self centered and it really irritates my SO, but many people are like this. I have asked him if he was planning to do anything for her and he said he might post Happy Mother's Day to her fb wall. I told him that he is welcome to take her to lunch or whatever without me.  I know he has no desire to do that. They haven't spoken in about 2 months.  Do something? Let it go?  We have a family event and will see her at the end of the month.  TIA[/quote]
