I just cried
My MIL called my husband, and he put her on speakerphone because we were folding clothes. She starts saying that my brother in law told her “oh maybe they’ll have 3 kids” (mind you he doesn’t know we’re expecting, unless she told him. He lives out of the country so I’ve never met him and my husband is not as close to him) MIL continues to say that BIL only said that because he saw a friend who had “the same problem his wife has, and after treatment my friend she had triplets” (referring to me as he wife) So I ask my husband “what problem is he talking about?”, and he asks MIL the same thing, and she says “oh get pregnant. Since she couldn’t get pregnant, he thought you guys had to seek treatment”. You guys don’t understand the level of rage and sadness that poured over me. I’m so sick and tired of his family blaming me for not being able to get pregnant. If they only knew that for almost a year we used protection because we were so scared of getting pregnant after I had a chemical last year. I’m so sick of their judgement, and the pressure I’m put through. I instantly told my husband to just wrap up the conversation because I was so pissed off. He hang up the phone and came over and just hugged me, while I cried. No matter what he says or tries to explain to his family, specially my MIL, I’ll always be seen as someone who couldn’t conceive right away, the one who had a problem with her. I’m just sick of this! I wished we lived far away from my MIL. We used to get in awful fights with my husband, because of stupid comments, remarks and butt ins from my MIL.
Im sorry for this long rant, I just had to get this out of my chest. Thank you for reading if you made it this far.
