[quote=soexcited123][quote=soexcited123][quote=Anonymous][quote=soexcited123][quote=Anonymous]When my mom calls I usually leave the room unless I'm in the middle of a project that can only be done in that room (like if I'm cooking I stay in the kitchen). I figure my wife will find it easier to read, watch TV, listen to music, whatever else she was doing. If my mom called with a question that involves my my wife (like when we're free to get together) or something else my wife needs to know about right away, I'll come back out and tell her.

My wife calls her parents almost every day when walking to the metro. If I'm ready at the same time we'll both be there when she calls; if we walk separately I don't care if she talks to her parents without me. I trust her. If I'm bugging her and she wants to tell her parents that, it's ok with me, though I don't think that's what they spend most of their time discussing! Besides, if my wife were keeping a big secret from me, I doubt she'd tell her parents about it. [/quote]

I guess it's a worry that my husband is confiding in his mom about an issue we are having in our marriage and I would rather him go to me about it or an unbiased party such as a counselor. I like to keep any issues between us. Yes before anyone asks I apply the same rule for myself as well. I don't confide in my parents or ask for advice about issues in our marriage[/quote]

As a former MIL (my son has been divorced for five years) I can tell you what they are talking about:  You.

You might think this is inappropriate or whatever but you know why he's doing it.  There are issues in the marriage and much as you would wish he would just address them with you he has decided to confide in his mother and get counsel from her.

So, there you go.  Good luck.[/quote]

Also, I forgot to add you would sit there bad mouthing your DIL. How nice. Why didn't you tell your son he should be working it out with his wife. I can't believe you really think its acceptable for a grown man to ryn to mommy when he is having marital issues. Again what if his wife wishes to keep those issues private. Of course you are going to be biased towards your own son. How is that helpful for a marriage to go to a biased party. I am truly shocked how many people on here thinks its ok to run to parents when you're upset with your spouse.[/quote]

Also you literally just proved my point by saying they are talking about me when that's originally what I was worried about. So yes they are hiding something. We are going to counseling btw[/quote]
