[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would reiterate to your spouse that you don’t want to hear whatever negative things MIL has to say about you; that it makes it difficult to have a positive relationship with her.

I personally don’t think this should be a point of continued conversations between them. He should shut it down without a long defense or convo about it. If he is unwilling to do this, though, he can at least choose not to share these conversations with you which do not accomplish anything but create a divide between you and MIL. [/quote]

Exactly this. DH is the bigger problem here. He knows how sensitive his wife is, and he brings home juicy tidbits about his mother's off the cuff comments to stir the pot. It's very unkind on his part. OP, is he known for stirring the pot?[/quote]

+1. Why on earth would he share this info unless he is looking to cause drama?[/quote]

Probably what he was used to doing (triangulation) growing up with a mom who complained to him instead of dad. [/quote]
