how many of you ladies think your mom in law sabatoges the relationship you have with your hubby?

Question

i think my mom in law delights in keeping her claws in her son rather than go ahead and let him grow up. i think she would rather have him still nurse at the breast rather than give him the freedom to grow up and have his own life. how many girlfriends out their also have the mother in law from hell? if i knew then how she would always be intruding i would have run run straight out the door of the church. do you think a man is a mammas boy just because he always looks for good in his mom and gives her the denefit of the doubt in issues where she is concerned.? should not he be able to love her without creating this fantasy world that she lives in? i could stand it if he loved her if he was just willing to look at her for what she is and be honest. but instead his moms on a pedestal and i am the dirty bad guy cause i see his mom in a different light. oh yes we really dont discuss her at all. so dont tell me to keep my opinion of his mamma to myself because i do.

Answer 1

my EX mother in law was like this. the best part of the divorce is that i never have to see or hear from her again and i wrote her a email and cussed her out and told her what a pervert her son is with his nasty internet porno addicton. it was so liberating. and the day he said he has someone else & THREW Me out and filed divorce papers is the day i told him ( first words out of my mouth ) " well at lesat i never have to see your stupid family again! " i hope he gets what he deserves and the new ***** is worse than me !

Read Harriet Lerner's book "The Dance of Intimacy." It explained a lot for me.

Answer 3

Mine is great. She will voice her opinions and then back off and let us do as we see fit. When we were dating she wasnt too thrilled with me but as the years went by we have gotten closer.
