[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every female should remember that there is no woman on earth who is good enough for any mother's son.  Sad but true.  So do your best to keep your marriage and family happy and let in-laws stew in their own misery  [/quote]

Eh, this is not the dynamic in our case. My MIL is honestly not that interested in my DH, and she certainly doesn't worry about me being good enough for him. She does resent me because she wants him to do more things for her, and she resents the fact that she never had a daughter, who she thinks would have dedicated her life to making her happy and comfortable.

She's just a very self centered person who resents when anyone gets anything she doesn't already have, even when they only got it by working for it and procuring it themselves. Like I outran my DH but she takes note of every item of clothing I have and says some version of "must be nice" to be able to.. own clothes? We're not talking about designer things, we're talking a sweater from JCrew or something. That I bought with money I earned myself. I even buy all her gifts because DH has no clue and I know what she wants because she's always expressing jealousy over my things, but it's never enough.

She's bitter and blames everyone else for her own dissatisfaction in life because she's never understood that it is up to you to make what you can out of what you get. It's exhausting and my DH agrees.

But she's not rude to me because I took her precious boy away. [b]She's rude to me in the same way she's rude to everyone. She's alienated one of her sisters and several of her friends in the same way -- being jealous, self-centered, expecting everyone to focus on her and support her but never offering anything in return.

Some people are just miserable.[/b][/quote]

Agree.  Some people (narcissists) REALLY get offended, take it personally, and make it their mission to put an end to other people's happiness.  What they don't realize is that they truly have no control over anything in their own lives, least of all, other people's happiness. [/quote]
