The best thing you can do is limit contact with her.

Clearly your mother in law is trying to get under your skin and is succeeding. She enjoys watching you fume with anger, jealousy and hurt. The solution is, don't add fuel to the fire. The next time she brings up your husband's exes ignore her (even though it's hard) or you could really get her by acting as sincere as possible and say, "oh, I met her she seemed like a lovely woman". Once your mother in law no longer receives the reaction she wants from you it will no longer be effective and fun which will cause her to discontinue. Just remember that she may try something else and you will have to handle it the same way.

You treat her with kindness, other wise it puts your husband right in the middle and possibly choosing later on between the woman who gave him life, and raised him to be your husband.....and you. doing this is not fair, so be the mature one here and go with the flow.....when she says something about the x's.....kindly say, oh yes....he has told me all about her, along with (name) and what about (name). I know that they did have some good times together, just like he and I do now. but always be kind, and she will eventually come around.

Don't argue. Don't be dispectful. Don't be rude. HOWEVER, do not put up with it. When she brings up your husband's ex, say something. Call her on it. Say, "why did you bring her up?" "I know you may think a lot of her, but what do you expect me to say as I am ________'s wife now." "I may not be your choice, but I am __________'s choice and we are very happy; I hope you will respect that." Anything along these lines will do.

Kill her with kindness after a while if you play good you win becuase you already got the man you just have to ride out the boring and crappy victory parade.

Beat her to the punch...ask about the ex before she gets the chance to bring her up...that should get the message across!

Rise above it all and be gracious, charming, polite and busy as much as you can so you dont have to spend time with her.

She just does it to get under your skin. Be the bigger person, and show her that it doesnt get to you. You're with him, not the "ex's" so she's just simply wasting her breath.
