[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you just come out and say it? Betty, last time you visited and mentioned Bill's career, he was very hurt. [/quote] I actually really like this, except it should be Bill who says it. My DH's family is just full of dysfunction (except MIL insists they are 'all so close') and the main root is lack of communication. No one EVER says what they really feel. IMO, your DH should say "mom, I love my job, I'm happy, and I need you to stop criticizing my choices. Surely you want me to do what I love." Just say it ONCE. After that, if it continues, I vote for all the great other advice to ignore, but at least DH would know that he's expressed himself. Whether or not she listens is her own problem.[/quote] +1. Your dh should briefly tell his mom. I don't know why so many men are not brought up to say their feelings.[/quote]
