My MIL is way too self-centered
for me to either like or respect her. I've been married for over
6 years, and have not formed anything but a cordial relationship
with the MIL. MIL and FIL are divorced. FIL has gotten married
again, but MIL hasn't. She had two brief affairs, but she is not
in a relationship, which, again, I am not too fond of, because her
partner is still married and living with his wife. This is more
or less like an open secret that everyone is aware of, but chooses
to ignore. MIL always wants something or the other. She gets DH
to buy her stuff, though she is employed. DH has bought everything
in the house that she stays in, including the house itself. I am
so bored with her. I call her once in a month, as a courtesy, and
all that she can talk about is herself. She's written an article.
She's attended a meeting. She did this and that, and blah and blah.
In all these years, she might have called me a couple of times,
and that was also to let me know about something that happened in
her life. Not once did she ask if I was well or what was happening
with my life. DH is too blind to see this. We've had our fights
over her and her materialistic ways, about him spending our savings
to buy her stuff. She has a house bought for her by my DH. We
live in a rented place. I've now accepted that its not going to
change, and the only way I can solve this is to walk out of my marriage.
I love my DH, but sometimes I don't like him. Some days I am not
happy at all. Can anyone suggest some solution?

What do I do? We live
over 1,000 miles away from the ILs. My kids never get calls on
their birthdays. We call MIL and FIL on their birthdays. I don't
understand why, when they live so far away, they don't want to talk
to their grandkids (they have others who live close by). DH says
to let it be. Sometimes their birthday cards (they also send $20)
get here on time, sometimes not. They complain about not being
close, but then they pass up this opportunity to talk to them.

Worst gift: Every year,
for Xmas, I got money from the MIL. But, this year I got two bags
that are fit for a ten year old (and I'm 27) and a pill box (I don't
even take any pills). I am having my first child in 3 weeks, and
all MIL has bought is pound shop stuff. Not that she can't afford
it, as they have loads of money. They wanted a GD, and I'm having
a boy.
Signed - Ha Ha.
