[quote=Anonymous]My husband is the issue and not the MIL, likely derives from the fact that his father did nothing around the house nor had any friends. Thus DH is always chatting with her long distance, sending presents for every major or minor Hallmark holiday, still devoting Mothers Day to her and not the mother of his children, bending over backwards to have her/them as 2+ week houseguests, treating them to things, etc. He has some sort of guilt complex about not living 30 minutes away or something.  
Basically if anything comes up it's her first, me and kids second, and our money/budget last.  What's odd is half the stuff he does is because he assumes that's what she needs/wants, and it comes out later that she doesn't even care. He doesn't want to ask her or them.  This pattern started when he made assumptions about our wedding, the kids baptism, the foods we have in the house when they're here all based on guessing what would most please them, but not asking them directly or indirectly.  Some sort of guilt complex...they're actually pretty "go with the flow" so I can't figure it out. [/quote]
