[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know your MIL is bad mouthing you and what your DH is saying?[/quote]

My spouse has told me. (I also don’t understand why, it’s not constructive) [/quote]

That's a different conversation to have with your spouse.  "Joe, I appreciate this is a stressful situation for you, but I don't think I am the best sounding board for these conversations.  She is your mother and I want to have a constructive relationship with her, but that is impossible when I am constantly hearing about all of the awful things she says about me.  If you are looking for an opening to stop having a relationship with her, let's talk about that, but otherwise I think it's best that you not tell me about these conversations because they only poison my relationship with her further." [/quote]

Post like this are so friggin annoying.  You don't have to write an entire script for OP to to read to her husband.  Just say:  your husband's an idiot for telling you and you should tell him that.  [/quote]

DP. I thought pp’s script was perfect. Too bad you never learned to communicate without insults. [/quote]
