[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think it might help you to step back and stop looking at this as an issue of who's right and who's wrong, and start looking at it from the perspective of "what does my behavior get me, and is there anything more constructive I can do." You and your MIL don't get along, and to have you harping on every sideways glance from her just puts your DH in the middle of it, which is a really tough place for him to be. Unless she's doing something that truly does necessitate intervention by him (e.g., she's excluding =you from an extended family vacation and your DH needs to tell her that he's not coming if you're not invited), stand up to her yourself in the moment and then find a friend to vent to. Try to look at it not as him not giving you what you want, but as you giving him some kindness and grace in your marriage. [/quote]

Sorry,but why isn't DH supporting her? The HUSBAND is the real issue, not actually the MIL.[/quote]

Which makes me now agree with the pp who said that this is probably the same poster from the 15+ page thread, who held a 20 year grudge because she paid for her husband's college tuition yet blamed his family for it (when CLEARLY it was all the husband's fault).

Why hasn't OP come back to reply?[/quote]
