My MIL did it again!!!!
Maybe it's these pregnancy hormones, but I cannot let it go!!! I need to rant and will apologize now for it being so long.
It is absolutely amazing when you find someone whom your soul just fits perfectly with. I am so in love with my husband. I adore every little thing about him. Ok, maybe except for the loud burps in public lol. But he truly is my whole world apart from our children.
But nothing infuriates me or sets my blood on fire like someone, anyone disrespecting or belittling my man. Idgaf who it is. Fortunately for my mother-in-law, I am not a very confrontational person and I almost always think before I speak.
When she, her husband, her daughter, and their dogs showed up at our house for the first time since we moved in (while all of us were sick with fevers btw) she made some comments about my husband's weight. Looking to him, laughing, and asking when his baby is due in front of everyone. Even though my huge 7 month pregnant self is sitting right there. Now, I won't deny shooting her daggers with my eyes, but I didn't say anything to her because it's his mother and he usually handles her over the top behaviors well on his own.
But today, not a week later, she decided to share a picture on Facebook tagging us both for all to see of my husband and me back from when we were dating quoting "aww look at my babies before they got their baby bumps 😂".
Y'all. Talk about seeing red. It took every ounce of my self restraint not to go off right then on her post. I just 'angry face'd it and waited for my husband to get off work so we could talk about it. He's out of town for work this week even though he's sick.
But after we talked, he called her and said he took care of it. She deleted the post, and he said she's not gonna be posting anything about us anymore, tho she still thought it was cute. 😤
But exactly what I was afraid of happened. After work, instead of resting as the doctor ordered, he went to the damn gym before going to bed. All because his own fucking mother feels it's ok to publicly body shame her own son.
Yes, we both put on a little weight after being together for awhile. Now I'm pregnant and have had a very rough pregnancy, and he fractured his spine, limiting much of what he can do physically. She KNOWS this! But no, now he's even more self conscious about it and pushing himself too hard to get back in shape.
I think he is perfect just the way he is!!! I'm still insanely attracted to him! And I hate seeing him like this.. Especially since his mother probably hasn't seen her scale under 200 in 20 years.... I swear. If I hear anything else from her, I won't let him handle it. Third strike and my inner bitch is coming out to play.
