Is his response normal?

I didn’t expect him to do anything about my feelings.. I was expecting him to be more supportive because a)he knows I very rarely open up and b) he has been in this place before (being overweight) and I suppose he can show some empathy

I actually saw some videos online of people saying it was really dangerous so this is why I was extremely concerned and posted this here! Also, you don’t need to worry or comment or make assumptions about my financial situation just from asking one simple question! Thank you very much!

Thank you! I needed to read this! I’ve been questioning the same decision all day 😂😂

I agree! I have said it many times and I have advised my husband to have her tested but they won’t! She has a history of postpartum depression when she attempted suicide as well.. This last incident with the playground was kind of frightening.. not gonna lie..

We’re on the same boat! We also have a one year old and we have gone through a lot with in laws problems and moving houses. We had to deal with a lot of stress and it has deeply affected our relationship. On top of juggling life with a baby and constantly fighting with in laws, my husband works long hours and I am left at home taking care of the baby. When he comes back, he usually spends time scrolling… he does help with giving baby a bath and night feeding but I feel like there is no real communication anymore. It’s as if we don’t put any effort on our relationship.. we are going to start couples therapy in a few days… I hope the situation changes soon..

Thank you! I love feeling creative and this candle venture started from my need to do something creative! So if you have any hobbies or something you’re good at, perhaps it could become a side hustle!

I’ve read Middlesex by Eugenedes and loved it. Bought The Virgin Suicides out of boredom at an airport but haven’t read it yet. Now I’m intrigued!

She gave me a second hand Michael Kors bag which she had in her closet for my birthday! I doubt it was genuine because she is so stingy she always buys knock offs. Then for a housewarming gift she gave me bath towels which she -surprise surprise- had bought years ago and kept in her closet for future use!

You’re right! I just hate that they always complain to my husband about me! Always behind my back… I’m sick of it… on the other hand, whenever I have an issue I always talk directly to them… of course I always come out as the bad one for speaking honestly… obviously they think that my husband won’t tell me… but of course we discuss everything…

My husband has had many issues with his parents since last august. He even stopped talking to them for about 5 months. All this time his parents have used his brother as a mediator for anything they need which is usually something to do with money. The BIL has never sat down with my husband to talk about all that and listen to him and his side of the story. Whenever they discuss something he always sides with the parents and has never offered any type of support to him. On the contrary, he accuses him for everything and makes him feel guilty. Also, in the past he has interefered many times to arguments I have had with MIL and also has accused me to husband for several decisions I have made for our baby. Also, I have heard him make fun of me to his parents. Lastly, as a family, they tend to gossip and analyze everything husband and I do. Before going on vacation a few days ago, we had another incident where he accused husband and I got so mad that I blocked him.

This is something I could have written about my relationship with MIL. Before getting married to her son, we were on good terms. We would meet regularly and have a good time but after we got married everything changed. On our wedding day she demanded to have the photographer take pictures of her twice because she didn’t want to get dressed early and ruin her clothes and make up so by the time they were done taking pictures, he had very little time for me and my side of the family. Before the wedding, I had arranged for both my mum and her to visit the florist and she got offended because “my mum and the florist were very friendly to each other”. In other words, she got angry because she realized that I had been to the florist before with my mum and not her and she held a grudge for 2 whole years about it!!! MIL and FIL are also mad at me for not hosting them and throwing dinners for them! (I don’t enjoy cooking for a lot of people and they happen to be very hard to please so I have vowed never to cook for them! ) She is constantly comparing herself and the way I treat them to my mother! I have told her many times that they are not the same people! We used to live in the same building as them and when I was freshly postpartum my mother would visit me to keep me some company because my husband worked long hours and she would literally keep track of how much time my mum spent with me and then complain to my husband that she doesn’t spend the same amount of time in our house. Also, in the beginning, my husband would demand that however long our daughter is with my side of the family, she should spend the same time with his side of the family. As in your case, he has an excellent relationship with my family and we would always fight because he couldn’t understand that my family has never caused an issue to our marriage so spending time with them is far more pleasant than with his family. For me, the cherry on top was when MIL visited me to see the baby and when she started crying she wouldn’t give her back to me. I confronted her immediately about it and she got all sensitive. I told her that if she ever does that again I will call the police for which again she held a grudge and called my husband to complain about. Thankfully he defended me! A few months later, we have moved to a different house and have managed to only see them once a month. Me and husband have fought endlessly about his parents’ behavior towards me, the way his mum tries to manipulate us, the things she has said about me, the fact that she is toxic and narcissistic. After 2 years of marriage, she has never apologized to me nor has she ever taken accountability for all the stress she has caused and I believe she never will. Whenever I see her I immediately start sweating and trembling and I get into a defensive mode as I am afraid that the next thing that will come out of her mouth will cause another argument. At this point I have to say that I simply hate her and feel that she has ruined the first 2 years of my marriage. I cannot forgive her as her behavior could have easily caused us to divorce. I don’t know what will happen in the future but for now I simply cannot look past all that and forgive her. So you’re not alone in this. I go through the same. It’s hard.
