[quote=Anonymous]My confession is that I know my MIL finds me intimidating and I don't discourage that. I am not an intimidating person by nature, but am different from the rest of DH's family and so is DH - we have multiple degrees, professional well-paying jobs, are well read, like to go out for nice meals, etc. With DH, I know MIL struggles to find a comfort zone with him now that he is so 'changed' but with me, I can tell she just doesn't feel at ease around someone so different. The kind and compassionate thing would be to try to break down the barriers but honestly, I'm just polite and leave it at that. She has shown really bad boundary-crossing with her other DILs and I prefer to keep her intimidated so she behaves herself with me. It works. Sigh - I know. Gross.[/quote]
