[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DW has relationship issues with my mother. She complains that my mother "never liked her" and that she is always looking for an opportunity to "poke at her." Whenever I am around her, she says, I am on pins and needles." The most recent example she cites is from out last visit. DW was criticizing me in front of my mother about my weight, diet and exercise (I am hardly obese. I weight 189 ln and a, 5'12." I have come down from a high of 205 lbs and hope to get down to around 175 -1&0 lbs.) My mother interjected herself into the conversation, which was at the dinner table, and said "he is a grown man and take care of himself."   Later in the visit, I gave my DW a cup of coffee with milk, rather than the creamer she had asked, and she glared at me with what could only be described as the "look of death."  My mother said, "Jesus, it's only a up of coffee, let it go." DW stormed out and later carried on with me for 3-4 hours about my "bitch mother" and how I don't "protect her."

This coming weekend is a four day weekend for my DD.  I offered to take a ski trip over the weekend, but DW countered she has to work so why don't I go with our kids to my mother's in Florida. I booked flights and a rental car.  Now, DWis bitching about our going, leaving her to watch the Super Bowl alone.  She's hinted at wanted to come to Florida, but wants to stay in a hotel.  I said she is welcome to come, but I do not want to stay in a hotel as I think it would be good for kids to have some time with their only living grandmother. DW God ballistic talking about the "toxic bitch" who "put her own mother in a nursing home rather than take care of her.  I don't want my kids getting the same message."

I am going to Florida in any case, and DW just needs to cope with this as an adult.[/quote]

I love the "look of death" comment, OP. Good one. My read on this is you're not getting enough supply from the wife who may or may not be as toxic as your "examples" suggest, and you're (because you're certainly toxic) turning to DCUM for a new infusion. Not going to point out all the rhetoric fails, but there are more than a few.[/quote]
