Dislike his mom (or that of an ex)? How do you deal?

Answer 1

You know, I don't know how realistic it is to have a healthy relationship with someone if you can't get along with their mom. Unless they have no relationship with their mom at all. I look back on two relationships that I had with past bf's and MY mom hated them. It bothered me. I am really close to my mom, and so to not be able to do things together hurt me. I feel like if you can't be comfortable in that situation, it will eventually put a wedge between you. BUT, that is just my view on it. But, I have seen things like, the mother in law doesn't like the husband and they fight and it puts you in the middle or makes you feel like you have to choose. Then if their are kids involved they tend to get used as weapons against eachother. So, that is just my opinion. Good Luck.

Answer 2

I dealt with an overbearing ex-mother in law for yrs because of the kids. She was always telling her son things behind my back ,things that were not true. And he would a;ways confront me like I was the one that was lying. So I sat her down one day and told her if that if the lies did not stop then she would not be seeing her grandchildren anymore. She thought I was bluffing but guess what she has not seen them in 10 yrs and they do not speak to her . she is invisible to them now they dislike her very much . there is nothing you can do except ignore them and go on with your life their problem not yours dont make it yours. good luck and god bless you.

Answer 3

My ex's mom was a total smart @ss to me. She was always singing the praises of his ex-wife (who cheated on him countless times) and snubbing me. When she would say some stupid, smart comment to me, I'd give it right back to her. Example-
Her: Oh I just loved Misty, I thought of her as a daughter. I can't believe they got divorced. I thought they'd be together forever.And she is just so sweet... blah blah blah.
Me: Well, judging by the fact that she slept with half the town while married to your son, I'd have to assume she didn't want to be with him forever.
Man, I'm glad I don't have to deal with her anymore. Plus the fact she always tried to insinuate that I'm anorexic. (I'm 5'3" and weigh 115 pounds, NOT anorexic by any stretch). "If you need someone to talk to about you're eating disorder, you can talk to me" Blech. Of course, Misty was a perfect "healthy" size. Geez, what a bit*h.

Answer 4

Unless she is disrespectful to you directly, you dont do anything. You stay quiet and basically mind your business. Be cordial, but you dont have to be her friend.
