Has a negative relationship with your mother in law/SOs mother driven a wedge between you and your SO?

Question

If yes how so? Were you able to bounce back from it and recover the relationship between you and your SO?

Answer

Nope, because he hates her as much as I do 😂

Answer

You both just need to talk about it and understand why there is this tension between mil and partner

Answer

Ours had been a love hate relationship. At first MIL was good with me until she found out about my drug and drinking past and that I went to rehab. And she found out I was my husbands first to have sex with so that made her hate me- for several years. That along with getting married and no one knowing for a year also made her hate me (a long story of why but basically we wanted to get married and we were both leaving for the army and needed the paperwork and was going to have a more extravagant wedding when we had more money and out of training). But after learning all that and time passed she slowly started to warm back up to me and after she got divorced mine and her relationship really took off after I was allowed to explain a lot of the past decisions. Now we’re good friends.

Answer

YES!! she’s so overbearing and doesn’t respect me as a mom. He only says something to her when I’m not around. Like he doesn’t want to call her out on it while she’s doing the toxic behavior. It pisses me off. And she’s so damn nosey about everything in our lives. But he feeds into her toxic ness!! This has been the main reason we fight. We talked the last time their were issues and he seems to understand finally. So I dont know. We still fight about it. Been together 9 years  and it feels like I married both him and his mom.

Answer

My SO had to set boundaries with his mother. That helped a lot. Have to let a lot of things my mother in law says go in one ear and out the other to have a functional relationship with her.

Answer

yes... it helped ruin my last relationship. having a good relationship with their parents is so important!
