anybody out there have serious issues?

Question

with their mother in law? how do you deal with it? i'm goin crazy!

Answer 1

Well my wifes mother has hated me since the first time she met me. I doubt very much that it will ever change. Her father and I get along just fine. We sit on the porch and drink beer, shoot the bull and I let him beat me at hoops.

How do I deal with her sarcasm, hate and outright attempts to break us up? Well I hug my wife, tell her I love her and remind her that I didn't marry her because of her mother.

Just be polite and work through encounters the best way you know how. If you just can't deal with it anymore, then I suggest a round of shopping therapy.

Answer 2

Almost EVERY marriage has big mother in law issues. Mine included.

You just have to remember that the mother in law is not part of the marriage. They are now extended family. I firmly believe that people who are a destructive force in your lives should be removed or at least heavily restricted.

WHY are we women such horrible mother-in-laws?!?! Seriously. It's very common.

Answer 3

I used to evade procuring issues for the reason that could desire to intend dealing with the guy at the back of the counter too. I even prevented lunchrooms at college cuz there are various of people there. i'm very valuable in my visual attraction yet I fairly have a social phobia and that i myself talked to a therapist (properly often my mom merely talked i sat there fidgeting) and he began me on prozac (or regardless of that's named) which enables my rigidity some. Plus having somebody, a chum or kin member boosts my self belief some.

Answer 4

Sometimes we get into little disagreements with our in-laws and it makes us want to explode. What we fail to realize is that our spouse is their child. As parents, we will try to protect our children even when they are adults and don't need us to protect them. That is what in-laws do. They feel they can pick and choose for their child and can make better choices for them. I don't have to be around my in-laws much, but when I am, I just roll with the punches and think to myself that they only try to intervene in our relationship because they are looking out for their loved ones best interest. Don't stress over them because at the end of the day, it is just you and your loved one.

Answer 5

Mine passed away 2 years ago. She could be a royal pain in the butt sometimes, but I really can't remember her being that way with me. I loved her very much. My wife, on the other hand has nothing to do with my family. That has put me in a few spots.

Answer 6

My MIL hates me, luckily I live an hour from her now... I'm from the wrong side of the tracks and don't make enough $$$. We tolerate each other for short periods of time but talk light stuff, nothing in depth and nothing either one really cares about...

Answer 7

My mother-in-law passed away but I have crazy sister-in-laws to take her place so if you figure it out, let me know!!

Answer 8

LOL. This seems to be pretty common! Invite her to come out and eat with you sometime. Find something she is interested in, try to get involved. Like if she is into sewing, learn how to sew, or ask her if she can teach you. Try anything that will make her feel important in your life and your husbands. Trust me, this works!!

Answer 9

My MIL is certifiable. Fortunately, my wife agrees, so there is little argument. We limit ourselves to short visits to limit exposure and stress, then just bite our tongues and try to appease her.

All the best.

Nothing that a plastic dry cleaning bag wrapped around her head wouldn't solve.
