[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you need to understand and accept that 9 out of 10 MILs only care about their child, and care about their spouses only inasmuch as they add value to their children’s lives.
It’s just the way it is.
Don’t expect your MIL to care even if she is polite enough to ask you how you are etc 
That’s why she is trying to assess the situation FOR HER SON and maybe her grandchild, and do so without you standing in the way and blocking the airwaves so to speak.
Use your own parents for comfort! Stop expecting it from ILs!

NP. Except that her son is grown and married it isn’t her job anymore to “protect” her grown married son. She doesn’t need to assess the situation as if he is a 5 yr old child needing mommy to determine if a friend is good for him to have.

Let the marriage counselor do that. [/quote]

The first step is admitting there is a huge problem in the marriage necessitating a counselor. OP hasn't even done that. But it's pretty obvious given how threatened she feels by her MIL spending any 1:1 time with her own son. A secure and happy marriage is not so easily threatened.[/quote]
