[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you can nicely tell her to drop this subject. [b]You do have a husband problem, though[/b]. He needs to stop dismissing your feelings, and have your back better, especially in facilitating things with his family. He really ought to tell his mother, on your behalf, to stop with the weight loss stuff.

I have a MIL who'd fake exclaim that I'd lost weight, every other time she saw me, (and she saw me often). I carry an unvarying amount of extra weight. She thought she was cleverly pointing out how fat I am, and trying to shame me. Didn't work.

She'd also fake exclaim about my hair, once I started getting grey streaks, saying Oh did you dye your hair--it looks so pretty! when obviously I have grey streaks, year in, year out, that I don't dye.

I just always looked at her blankly, like she was crazy, and then smiled and said nothing. I am the smirking Grey Rock DIL from hell, to her.

This.  I'm surprised it took two pages for this to come up.  Your husband needs to care about how you feel and back you up.  ASAP.[/quote]

My turn to be surprised. The husband needs to speak [b]for[/b] his wife? Is her speech somehow impaired to the point that no one understands her? Or are you denying her any agency, because she is female?

OP, if it bothers you, speak up politely and firmly. It's not as difficult as it may seem.

Oh, and stop listening to DCUM feminazis. They will call themselves feminists, then turn around and tell your man to intervene on your behalf while you simmer in resentment.[/quote]
