My MIL is sooooo rude that when we bought our house, she stood right there in front of everyone and stated, "YOU have a nice house DS."  Wow, am I just the maid????????

        Signed - Fed Up With Her
       ( here is my story )

        Per the poster's request, no response necessary.

When I first met my MIL, she seemed really nice.  DH was easily annoyed by her, and had frequent arguments with her.  I married DH, who was divorced with a 2 year old son, whom he has custody of.  My MIL cares for this child as if he was her own.  Sounds nice, huh?  NO!  She's is overbearing to the point that she interferes with my DH doing things for his own son.  And, of course, I can't do anything as well as she can.  DH was recently deployed overseas, and I got stuck living with the ILs until he returns.  It lasted 3 months, until I found out that she had been telling lies about me to other family members, tried to break up her other son's marriage, and played a huge part in the failure of my DH's first marriage.  Not to mention, she tried to tell my DH lies about me, only he did not believe her.  I have 1 year until my DH returns home, and for legal reasons his son can not be removed for his current address until DH comes home.  DH and I have talked about the situation, and he totally supports me and loves me very much.  What should I do?

frequent fry her - going crazy Frequent Fry Her TM. - Going Crazy /Posted: 30-JUN-04
My MIL is intelligent.  I am naive.  She is divorced.  She has 3 sons, my DH being the eldest.  She has told her sons that the reason she kicked FIL out was because he cheated on her numerous times.  They see their father, and are angry with him about this, and they have been for many years.  DH's relationship with FIL has suffered over this a lot.  Last weekend, MIL confessed to me (and asked me not to tell my DH) that during her marriage she was in love with another man, who was also married.  She left FIL to be with him, only to find out that he was not prepared to leave his wife.  She never saw him again.  So, she was the reason for their divorce.  I am angry that she told me this.  I don't keep secrets from my partner, and my loyalties are to him, not MIL.  I am afraid that she is setting me up to make it look as if I am dishonest and to keep secrets from my partner.  Yet, I don't think it's my place to tell him this.  I told her that she should tell him herself, as it would heal my DH's suffering and false pain towards his father.  She said no.  Should I tell my partner?  He should know the truth!
