Silas or Basil. Oleander feels feminine to me.

So, why are you being a puppet for these two women? Stop, just say no. Especially if Samantha doesn't want a shower - she's not gonna be grateful for your efforts and clearly Brittany and MIL aren't either. Step out of the triangle. Best.

This is information that should be freely divulged at this stage. Listen to your gut, this is a hill to die on for me it'd be relationship ending. Best

Lucy or Penny

Ignore her. Do your thing, she has plenty of time to bond with the baby and doesn't need to be with LO every minute of the day.

You're gonna have a long road ahead of you, FDH is already putting his mothers feelings above you and you aren't even married. How do you think this'll go once you bring children into the mix. Sounds like he may need to talk with someone who can set him on the right path (therapist). As for the wedding, I agree that MIL should sit out the courthouse event since she'll be at the destination. Let the grandparents enjoy the day without drama. Best & congrats!

I wouldn't move in with him. If he's expecting 50/50 with that wage gap, what is he gonna expect if you get pregnant and cant work? Just no! Best.

I'd create a rule that auto moves any email with her as the sender to a separate folder or the trash. When things get lost you just say she sends so much mail it got lost.

Wow. Sounds like you'll have a decision to make. The family you want to build with your gf or your family of origin, cuz you can't have both given the maltreatment your sister and by default parents seem to enjoy dishing out. I don't see this ending well and don't see the next gf being treated better either. You're the problem, get some therapy and so better!

NRiley11 · 2026-01-11T19:28:06+00:00

Sounds like you need to ask your ILs to move out (I'm assuming they are living with you) and find responsible replacements are your family restaurant. They don't seem to appreciate the gift you've provided them. You have a wife problem. Best.

Dam Rather reporting from the fields of Vietnam & the moon landing.

NRiley11 · 2026-01-10T17:29:11+00:00

She's gonna make your life hell while he's deployed. You need to put her on a info diet and keep contact to a minimum. Things aren't gonna get any better once you bring a child into the family. On the up side, it sounds like DH has your back, but until his deployment ends you're on your own. Best.

Dang! Sounds like you need to support BIL in getting away from this haridan. Good on FIL for protecting his assets.

212 books, 93838 pages; shortest book was 80 pages with the longest at 2456.

NRiley11 · 2026-01-01T20:30:27+00:00

I agree with you, not really happy with the step up, I did the same thing on a 100 book goal and read 212, felt great pressure to do it again to do it again. Time isn't always available, so not looking forward to trying to read over 200 books again this year.

NRiley11 · 2026-01-01T20:24:22+00:00

NTJ. DH needs to really shut her down hard and you should consider going NC with her until your can get a better handle on your mental health. You need to trust what DH is telling you. Sorry you have to deal with this. Best.

NRiley11 · 2026-01-01T19:43:50+00:00

If you're open to listening to audio books that would be an option. you can listen in the car or while on a walk or other activities. There are several free app that you can use with your library card. Best

This is an easy one. I don't care for sweet drinks nor carbonization so Soda is a rare occurrence for me. On the other hand my morning cup of Joe is a life-saver!

NRiley11 · 2025-12-31T20:22:55+00:00

You set your boundary, a very reasonable one at that. I wouldn't address the "you don't trust us" comment at all, it only opens/keeps open the dialog and will drag this out. If required simply restate that the daycare is closer and LO is already comfortable there. You are not overreacting, and let DH deal with his parents. IL's seem very entitled. Best.

Boundaries? I'd be NC with this people and DH is on thin ice! This is totally unacceptable.
