- DrivingMeNuts, 3 of 4 needed/Posted:
6-FEB-08
Our wedding came, and everything seemed to be going
perfectly. My bridesmaids (who had offered to set everything up)
had done a great job with the church and reception hall. The ceremony
was perfect, and the priest, the same one DH and I had gone to as
kids, even cried during the ceremony. We got into our limo and
went off to the reception. All of the stress that my DH and I had
felt building up to the big day was gone, and we just wanted to
enjoy ourselves. I was making what I guess you could call "the
bridal rounds", greeting everyone and seeing if they were enjoying
themselves. My MIL came up to me and apologized for all of the
added stress that she had caused. She actually apologized!!! That
alone made my day better. During the reception, our photographer
was coming around and taking pictures of random things: our first
dance; my DH and MIL dancing; me dancing with FIL, etc. The photographer
told us that the pictures were due back while we were on our honeymoon
(DH and I had a few weeks of vacation built up, and used it for
the honeymoon). MIL offered to swing by, pick them up, and drop
them off at our apartment. Hey, she was being good and had apologized
for the stress, so I figured that it wouldn't be a problem. I even
told her that if she wanted to get copies of them, she should go
ahead and get them and I would reimburse her when we got back.
DH and I left, enjoying every minute of our honeymoon, not thinking
twice about things back home. Upon walking into the apartment we
noticed that all of our furniture was rearranged. The only one
who was able to get into the apartment was MIL. I knew that I could
be angry at her, but it didn't really matter. We were moving soon
anyway, no big deal. DH and I unpacked our suitcases before sitting
down to look at our wedding pictures. MIL had left a note listing
the numbers of the pictures that she had ordered. I flipped through
the book and saw that the only ones she ordered were of her and
DH. Should I have taken this as an indication of what was to come?

Alas, I am starting on
my 6th month of pregnancy and DH decided to move us across the country,
just two hours from where my IL's live. Now, I have hated my ILs
for as long as I've been married, and have more issues than I can
even tell you about here, but DH is he!! bent that, once I get to
spend more time with his mother, I will like her more. I don't
think that will be the case (believe me, I could, and should, write
a book on the specifics). If I weren't pregnant, I would leave
my DH over this, as he knows that I absolutely don't support this
move. But, right now, he knows that I don't have a choice, so I
guess he's taking advantage. My parents can't take me in, so I'm
trapped for at least a few months. I currently only have a part
time job that wouldn't support me, and nobody else would hire a
woman who is six months pregnant! I honestly hate my DH right now,
and he doesn't see why! I also think that he is just moving to
appease his mother. I do hate my MIL, but I think I actually have
a DH problem more than a MIL problem. I know that he won't support
me with boundaries and things like that, and I don't want her breathing
down my neck when the baby is born. I'm trying to learn to be a
mother. Help!

Worst gift: My dear
sweet MIL shows her affection for me soooo well. While opening
such beautiful gifts at my bridal shower; I figured there was no
way she could ruin the day. She did. I opened her gift, and inside
there was a metal frame that she found at a garage sale, with the
garage sale sticker still on the frame. DH and I are now expecting
our first child. For Christmas she bought me house slippers with
snowmen on them. She told me that they were for me to wear to the
hospital when I have the baby. However, the baby is due in May.
She had the nerve to complain that I didn't put any thought or care
into my thank you card for the bridal shower because I didn't write
"love" before I signed my name.
