[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here- Omg this thread is getting detailed quickly! I am not the bless your heart person! Lol! Dcum is hilarious

Honestly looking for advice. I know you people love to tear down and criticize, but the truth of these conflicts is that i take the masculine role of defending our family and I find it unsexy and demoralizing and lonely. I wonder if it would be better to be divorced rather than have to continue on this way.

Thanks for the real advice. It’s appreciated![/quote]

I’ve been in your shoes, OP, and I hate it, too. I feel like I’m always doing the dirty work in our relationship, like defending our kids, defending myself, asking for discounts, holding people accountable, you name it. I never thought about it as unsexy, but that’s totally what it is. At this point in my life, the best way I found to deal with certain difficult people is simply to cut them off or minimize contact. MIL doesn’t like that you don’t go along with her holiday plans and DH doesn’t have your back? Fine, do your own thing from now on and let her deal with the consequences of her actions. Your DH can take your kids to see her without you. Friend jumps all over you about something? Fine, “friend” is no longer invited to ANYTHING you host, EVER, unless they apologize. This is how I handle things now. If I can’t ignore the ugly, I remove it from my life.
