I am not sure where exactly
the bar is for MILs when it comes to standards, as to who is ever
going to be good enough. When I entered her life I thought that
I would be appreciated, as she never had a daughter. Big mistake.
I was not the perfect DD that she was looking for. She was looking
for someone who was materialistic, loved to shop, and was very feminine.
So not me. I played rugby for my college, love to scuba dive, play
paintball, and practice martial arts. And, even though I graduated
high school as valedictorian, paid for college entirely with scholarships,
saved up enough money to buy our house out of college at the age
of 21, have a great career, and take very good care of my DH, somehow
that is not good enough. Nothing will ever be good enough.

I recently purchased
some books that were recommended by this site, such as "Toxic
In-Laws", in hopes of finding a small shred of a way that I
could relate better to them. We will see how it goes, but I have
a feeling that although I will still go and see her because it is
important to my DH, I don't want to be close again. I do not want
to be hurt again. I would rather that she be an acquaintance.
When asked about anything personal, I would rather say that things
are great, good, etc. No elaboration. I am sure that this bugs
her because she wants to know what is going on in our lives, but
I choose an easier road - a road that she sent me down by the actions
she took. This is a road away from her. Will it lead back? Who
knows. For now, let it be one way.
Signed - One Way

BF and I are having a
huge conflict with his mother. Unluckily for us, he lives with
her because he's still in college. He doesn't want to move out
until he's done with school, which gives her the upper hand. He's
20 years old, and I'm 21, and everyone whom we come in contact with
says that we make a wonderful couple. Not too long ago she gave
him a certain time to be home. What a joke, I know. First, it
was before two a.m., and she said that we should stop spending so
much time with each other. Then, the week of my birthday, she said
that he had to be home before 1 a.m. Just the other day, she told
him that he needs to be home before midnight. She said that if
he didn't like it, he should move out of her house. So that's his
plan. The first time that she met me she wanted to know what my
plans were for my life! I understand the question, but she didn't
ask me or my BF. She asked his godmother to ask me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you agree that she is really overly concerned for her son?
Signed - She Is Really
Overly Concerned For Her Son
