[quote=Anonymous]My MIL is delightful but my mom complains about everything and everyone nonstop these days. She wasn’t always that way, but did go out of her way early on to treat DH weirdly. We started dating young (freshmen in college) so he was a sophomore in college when she met him. I remember he came to visit us (from out of state) over the summer going into jr year. He “had to leave” by Sunday and she made it very clear because it would be inappropriate for him to be at my grandmother’s big birthday / family celebration. My brother I guess never gave into these demands in the same way and his girlfriend showed up / came to the party basically as my boyfriend was getting sent packing. It didn’t help that we dated a very long time before marrying and that made my mom upset at him but I suspect he might have married me sooner had my family been more welcoming.

I did ask her (on my way to try on wedding dresses) “mom, you sound really concerned. I love him and trust him but is there something you’ve seen that causes your concern? Is there something that I should know that is serious enough I shouldn’t marry him?” She said “oh no! Nothing like that!” So I figure I gave her her chance. (We’ve been together 21 years, married 11). [/quote]
