[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After 17 years, MIL refuses to accept that I'm DH's wife.  She has flatly told him to divorce me, almost weekly encourages him to reach out to his HS gf, and generally is a complete MIL from #3!!. MIL still calls HS GF randomly and HS GF is still single and due to a lot of manipulation by MIL, is apparently waiting for DH to divorce me.

Today, I received this email from her to my account (not DH's):

----

Dear DH:

How are you?  I hope you are well.  I am writing to let you know that your second cousin's husband just died of COVID-29.  Please call me today.

Larla - I am only sending this email to you because DH didn't check his email as often so print out this email, show it to him, and make sure he calls me today.

MIL

Obviously I showed DH the email.  DH and I agree that we should reach out to second cousin who we don't really know and don't even know how to reach her.  And DH has only met her once when I met her too at a huge family reunion.

DH then thinks that we should just ignore his mom and not reply at all but I'm adamantly against it.  I just want to write:

I am not DH's secretary.  I am his wife.  If you are not going to address me as his equal partner and wife, please do not write me again.

Honest question from a mother of boys. How can I not become one of these mother-in-laws that all of you hate? I’m from a different culture and I don’t understand what these mother-in-laws have done to make daughter-in-laws hate them so much. Please don’t be snarky, I really want to know how to avoid becoming one of these mother-in-laws. [/quote]

Don’t be a giant beyotch.  It’s not that hard.[/quote]
