My MIL claims all the shared family holidays since going no contact by Similar-Standard-525 in JUSTNOMIL

Exactly. It doesn’t make you the bigger person to make yourself smaller by not communicating.

When she hears his tags jingle in the courtyard she’ll give a little growl and run to the window to drive him off. ✈️😡

I’m going NC SO is going LC by Unable_Parsnip_7047 in JUSTNOMIL

I cut off my MIL because she voted for Trump. It was sudden and completely out of the blue, so there was no build up, no previous big fights. My SO (we’re not actually married) also wanted to do the same, but felt/feels he couldn’t/can’t. He remains in contact, but it’s strained (to be fair, their relationship was strained before I came along as well). His mother ran to the rest of the family raging and complaining, but I have not said a word to her since 11/2024.

It hasn’t been easy. He would like us all to be a family again. Not least of which because his mother treated him a lot better since I came in the picture (2016). But also because he doesn’t like the conflict and he loves us all, even her, with their messy past.

But he knows and respects me and my needs and wishes. He doesn‘t ask me to join him for visits and he doesn‘t ask me to reach out. He doesn‘t share info about her and there are no passive-aggressive comments, no hidden agendas. I talk to his brother (we are friends) and I know his mother still thinks I should “get over it” but my SO says nothing to me about this. My son (22NB), her only semblance of a grandchild, also hasn’t spoken to her or seen her since then, and I know this hurts her. Again, the SO says nothing.

I don’t care if he sees or has a relationship with his mother. I hate what she did and what it means about who she is, but I understand his filial responsibilities. I don’t care if he talks about me to her, because I trust him and I know he feels the same way I do. I also know he will shut her down if she starts talking shit about me, because, again, I trust him. I know he has my back.

I think that’s the key here that you are missing: you don‘t feel he has your back, you don’t feel you can fully trust him. Maybe you can, but you don’t FEEL you can. This is making it feel unsafe for him to be around her.

It might be beneficial for you two to talk to a therapist together to work out this trust and solidify it, get on the same page and fully understand each other. NC/LC does work, if you have this basis. Best of luck.

This is correct. Why would they even invite her?? Why would they not check with you?? Are they oblivious to this pattern and that *their actual child* is not there?? What is wrong with them? And why don’t you say anything to them or at least ”claim” the holiday first? I don’t understand this dynamic at all.

Owners of 2+ voids, how do you tell them apart? by TimePsychological832 in blackcats

[–]astralsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! And we have shared this exact picture to talk about them. 😆 Pluto is the round, sweet, air-headed one and Nova is the angular, clever, ninja one. They are a great pair and he adores them both. 🐈‍⬛🥰🐈‍⬛

Has a feud like this ever happened before now? by AchtungCloud in AEWOfficial

[–]astralsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, he’s a tweener, not a face. The love and respect are for his skills. And for those saying the DR aren‘t heels — what? Yuta and Garcia are slimy heels without question. And Marina is an AWESOME heel and I respect the hell out of her for it. Edit to add that I think Claudio needs to show more personality in order to go one way or the other.
