[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. I do not believe taking a quick glance at your phone during a major holiday while having dinner in your in laws kitchen merits the pointed dressing down my mother in law gave me. It is incredibly rude and disrespectful. A normal person would have ignored it especially as I was NOT sitting there with my face in my phone the entire time. As she was focusing on berating her husband for being unable to cut his meat, I took a look at my family group chat. That was all.

I felt embarrassed at how she talked down to me. I could tell she was in a mood and wanted to pick on me. She has a habit of routinely picking on her kids or me when she is in a mood. I do not like to be disrespected and told her so, calmly and politely. She decided to escalate, compounded by my husband.

I do not appreciate that both she and my husband are intend on bullying me for "upsetting" her when she started it to begin with! I do not appreciate my husband making ME the problem instead of telling his mom to back off![/quote]

Bringing your phone to the table at all is rude.[/quote]

Ruder than my MIL and husband's horrible treatment of me? My husband watched his mother give me a dressing down. And when I told her to stop he decided to blame ME for abandon me on NYE.[/quote]

Why are you spending energy griping about this lose-lose situation?
Why aren't you asking yourself how you got here, the genesis of your poor judgement, how you can change that and what you want your life to look like in 10 years?
This post reminds me of that Valentine thread where the woman insisted on staying with a guy and flying him out despite the obvious signs that he wasn't on the same page. She kept fixating on the details and looking for feedback when the larger picture was quite obvious and everyone was telling her so.[/quote]
