Okay, tell me if I'm overreacting
here, or if anyone has a similar story. I've been with BF for 3
1/2 years. I have gone to the family parties every year with him,
and talk to his immediate and extended family. His parents decided
to host a party at their house. This was probably the third one
I've been to, so I pretty much knew everyone. BF's mom saw me talking
to one of his aunts, and said, "Hey, have you met (my name)?
She is (BF's name)'s friend?" I was embarrassed and peeved.
His aunt said, "Oh yes, (MIL's name), we've met before."
Then his mom left! I never go without acknowledging her anywhere.
So, it's not like she thought I wasn't there. So, I went to tell
BF, and he confronted her about it. She said, "Well, I didn't
know." OK. I was just like,"Whatever. No biggy."
Next thing - I love to cook many different meals and desserts.
I have been making dinner for BF and myself for a long time. His
mom tried my dish one time and said, "OMG. Where did you get
the recipe?" I said, "Oh, I just made it up in my head,
and this is how it turned out." Of course, she persisted and
said that I copied a recipe. Whatever, again. Now, recently BF
has been working for half the semester and he is going to school
next semester. He has a roofing job, and the hours are never the
same. It depends on the weather and if they get done. Usually,
he is gone before me, and no one is awake yet. But, when I leave,
BF's mom is awake, making breakfast for his sister. I'm usually
late, so I run through the kitchen, say good morning, and leave.
At least I acknowledge her presence. If I don't say anything, then
she doesn't say anything. When I get home, she is sometimes there
and she'll say, "Hey! Did BF get to work ok? Did he get there
on time?" I answer, and then I start to ask stuff about her.
This was happening every day. I mean, who likes to answer the same
question every day? It's always the same answer, and I'm trying
to have a good relationship with her. It would be nice if she could
ask about me. Once, in the past, she had asked me to make something
that I cook that she enjoyed. So, I did. She didn't thank me at
all. She said nothing. I had made a whole dinner. She didn't
comment at all. BF told her and she came up to me and said, "You
know I appreciate it. I shouldn't have to tell you." Then,
we talked about how she thinks that I don't like her and that I
don't talk to her. I said, "OK I know your family history,
favorite color, the things that bug you, and what your daily routine
is." I named it all and it was right. Then, I said, "Can
you do the same for me?" She said, "Well, yea, I guess
I really don't know you." At this point, I had been living
under her roof for 3 months and I'd had deep conversations with
her. So, is it my fault or hers? This has been causing a wedge
between BF and me, because he doesn't understand why I'm upset with
her. I don't understand why he doesn't recognize it, and I don't
understand why she can't simply say, "Hi," to me when
she sees me. Her husband says it's because she is in a bad mood.
A simple, "Hi," is good enough. I don't need a full on
conversation! HELP

Same For Me?

My new MIL is 70 or so
years old, and she is a manipulator. She even said so!!! Her exact
words were, "'I like to manipulate situations." A police
officer even said she was manipulative! Anyway, she tries to make
me look bad in front of everyone, especially DF. She's the worst
kind of MIL, the religious fanatic kind. She forwarded an email
to me, a week ago, about how Halloween is evil, and Christians shouldn't
celebrate it. Well, I'm sick of her sh!t and said, "Please
don't send this cr@p to me anymore." Well, I got loads of
looks and a, "Don't disrespect my grandma," from people.
But, it's OK for her to bad mouth me, saying rude things like, "Wow,
you're a jack of all trades and a master of none! Just kidding!"
WTF is up with MIL?!!! Jealous and manipulative - for what? Her
DS is gonna find love! You can't keep it from happening!!!
Signed - She Is A Manipulator
