Disrespectful towards MIL?
My husband and I hardly see each other due to him working so much. He doesn’t have to work this much he just likes a really big check. By me saying I hardly see him I’m talking about 2 hours a day. The days he is off (once a week) he spends it seeing his mom or even seeing my grandmother (they are close) (2 hours away) when he gets off work I had already ate and put LO in bed and I’m about to go to bed and he stays on the phone with his parents. Everytime he walks in the door he says “let me call my parents” and stays on the phone for 30min to a hour. Literally. Then he has to shower then go to bed. By this time I’m asleep and we spend zero time together. Lately I have been missing my husband dearly. I have felt lonely and missing his attention and love. I’ve gotten to the point where I just cry because I miss him wanting to spend time with me.
Anyways a couple nights ago I was really down about missing him. He gets home and we need to go out to buy dinner. I meet him in the car with our son and first thing he does as soon as I buckle up (didn’t even kiss me yet) is say “let me call my parents” y’all I’m already annoyed because he calls his dad and mom when he is at work at least 2 times a day. He texts his mom constantly throughout the day. If he doesn’t answer she gets mad and texts “helllooooooo”
Anyways I was driving because he wanted me to 🤷🏼♀️ I have no idea where this place is we are going because I’ve never drove there and I forgot my phone at home so I couldn’t use gps. (I have bad anxiety while driving plus I have epilepsy.)
This place is about 20min away from home. Anyways I’m getting close but I have no idea where to turn. My husband is still on the phone and finally says “hey guys I have to go we are about to get some food” his mom kept talking to our son who is just 1 and he had no idea what was going on. She was like “hiiiiiiio my child how are you oh my goodness hiiiiii” and my husband said “mom I need to go” and she ignored him again and kept saying things to my baby that’s sleeping. Then she tries to make a different conversation to stay on the phone because she constantly wants to talk to him. Anyways I finally hung the phone up because she literally always does this when he says he has to go and because I needed to know where I was going. I just pressed the end button on my car because his phone is hooked up to my Bluetooth. I was annoyed at the fact she couldn’t respect that he needed to get off the phone. Like how many times does he need to say “I have to go mom” for her to say ok bye.
My husband yelled at me because I was so disrespectful and rude to his mom. I just wanted to have a conversation with him but he always chooses his parents and I was stressed in the moment about where I’m going. Was I disrespectful to her? Should I maybe apologized? She hasn’t brought it up to either of us.
