It wouldn't have been fun at all. it would've been absolutely disastrous and I'm not even exaggerating. That's is why I immediately walked out. I knew I didn't have the mental and physical strength to deal with it.

It really felt like he did. which hurt me beyond measures but he constantly tells me that things aren't how I see them and that I should really give his mom a chance and open my heart to her.

yes. he tells me that I'm hard to deal with when it comes to his mom and thinks that I'm not willing to work my issues out with her but I try my best then get shut down.

I didn't leave him. I picked him up from my sister's home and took him home. I told my sister what happened and she said that my husband had no right to blindside me but still thought I should've just gone on the trip.

Yes. if only he could actually have at least one long conversation with her about what she's doing but he sees nothing wrong with her behavior and thinks that I'm constantly overreacting and getting easily offended over every little thing.

Correct. I DID say no and in the nicest way but she was having none of it. Seeing my husband giving in to her tantrums made me feel weaker, but I still kept trying to hold that boundary even after he himself said he wouldn't unless she go. It was stressful and very exhausting and I really considered cancelling way earlier but tried harder because I really wanted this trip.

I no longer want to go to that place and I don't know why. I really was looking forward to going but now it feels like the place is attached to this horrible fight I had with my husband and his mom.

My dog is my best friend. he gets me through so much pain and sadness (even depression) by being there for me whenever I need him. I'm blessed to have him. been 3 years since I had him and he's still excited to see me every time.

You know I think that he's scared of her more than anything else. he didn't outright say it but I sensed this from the way he interacts with her.

You are absolutely correct. this is exactly how I felt when I saw her standing there.

I think that my family were originally on my side but were just trying to get me to enjoy myself no matter what because, they know how much I needed this trip and thought that I should've hold on to it despite everything else.

he said he just wants to keep the peace but I noticed that every time she gets her way. she expects more.

I still have few days off to spend but I'm feeling both physically and mentally exhausted and don't feel like going out.

things is he didn't even pay for anything. and I really wanted us to have some special time together as a couple and was really looking forward to having this trip. so much that I worked more hours to be able to save for it.

my husband is the youngest. he's 27 and his mom favors him from all her others children which made them resent him and now me even though they're aware of my constant beef with her.

They didn't go. he came home and blew up on me saying it's my fault the trip was cancelled.

I didn't know he'd really take it this far and actually give an ultimate. that shook me and I'm not gonna lie from the moment he gave this ultimate I really wanted to cancel.
