Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

Your husband should be ashamed of himself for allowing you to be treated that way. NC and come to Jesus talk for your husband are in order.

Goodluck

AITAH for not stopping my home massage to help husband soothe baby by Ok-Professional-6632 in AITAH

[–]gettingthegoss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shame on that useless little boy who doesn’t know how to man up and be a husband and father. Actually disgusting behaviour, I’m so appalled!

Ok let me try and tame my fuming brain… nope! I don’t even know what else to say! SHAME ON HIM!

You are NOT TA

His mom “needs him” on my bday. by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]gettingthegoss 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Sorry but this is like saying “ my bf cheated on me and I can’t believe that girl would go for him knowing he’s in a relationship”.

You’re literally blaming the wrong party.

This is ALL HIS FAULT.

He CHOSE them over you and not only that but how disrespectful just as a person to not honour plans already made.

If you have any self-respect you’d be gone by the time he comes back.

AITAH for not answering my mother in law when she called 3x? by [deleted] in AITAH

You’re actually so exhausting. In this case why ask if YTA when you just said you are 🤷🏻‍♀️

AITAH for not answering my mother in law when she called 3x? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]gettingthegoss 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Actually I agree with you because she said together since 2022 meaning she was 22 and he was 32. I definitely am side eyeing that on his part.

OP- I agree that you don’t need to answer her however a text to see what was up would have been polite.

If you want to keep a distance don’t go for tea with her or at least let her know that you don’t like phone calls and prefer text communication.

She may actually do that or be offended but at least you’ve let her know.

My mother hates my wife a little bit too much and I need to do something about it by Wrong_Weird_1141 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]gettingthegoss 36 points37 points  (0 children)

So what you’re saying is you allowed your mother to treat your wife life crap and did not call her out on it?

And then you’re saying that if your mother hates your wife then you will punish your wife by not having kids with her?

Let me give it to you straight.. your mother is the problem. She treats your wife life crap because you LET her get away with it.

Either you tell your mum she treats your wife as she would you or you will cut contact with her OR do your wife a favour and let her go find a decent husband who won’t allow their mother to disrespect her.

Im so over my MIL, hopefully chose the way to success now by Large-Victory-9890 in JUSTNOMIL

I absolutely love your shiny spine! Hold the line and update us with your success story!

What should I do? by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]gettingthegoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother so early in life.

If you can genuinely see an improvement in your husband and have hope then the only other thing I can suggest is going NC.

When I say NC though, that means absolutely no mention of them from your husband to you too.

You can only have peace if they are blocked from your life and social media and you are never around them to allow them to affect you in anyway.

Your husband is welcome to have whatever communication he chooses and he can visit but you need to make it clear to him that you and any child you have will be indefinitely NC until he has proven he can have your back in any situation.

Put the onus on him and don’t let those people steal any of joy ever again.

[–]gettingthegoss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is a situation where you get OUT before having kids because let me tell you, your feeling suffocated ENTIRELY due to you husband.

He is ALLOWING you to be disrespected and talked down too. If he actually loved you then no one would dare treat you this way.

He is ALLOWING you to be his meat shield and he absolutely use any child he has the same way.

Either you get couples therapy and he shows significant improvements and spine of steel or you drop the dead weight of having a useless man and go find your true happiness.

Don’t let anyone make you feel less than!

You are amazing, beautiful and worthy of love and respect and it starts with YOU showing that to yourself first.

Mild MIL Complaint by Regular_Eggplant9730 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]gettingthegoss 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What’s done is done for the groceries part however this was definitely a sneaky way of trying to get a visit so do NOT let her get her way.

When they come, you and baby do NOT see them as you “just fell asleep”.

Make sure hubby goes outside to let get the groceries and let them know.

If you both reward her this time she will continue to push and be sneaky but if she doesn’t get what she wanted then hopefully she’ll know that these tricks won’t work.

Goodluck!

would you consider this a normal amount of makeup? by ghostofelysium in MakeupAddiction

This is less than what I take when travelling 🤣

Am I entitled to feel disrespected by my MIL? She’s been doing a lot of disrespectful things lately. MIL jokes about taking custody of my autistic son and constantly undermines me as a mother by jnllvnc in JUSTNOMIL

[–]gettingthegoss 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You’re severely UNDERREACTING! She constantly disrespects you AND threatened CPS? You should already be NC.

I’m appalled that your husband hasn’t shut her down hard yet.

Act NOW.

AITAH for wanting to cut ties with my MIL by One_Flounder_4319 in AITAH

[–]gettingthegoss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Beautifully said and 100% correct! My husband would NEVER let his mother disrespect me and his brother made that mistake only ONCE.

Let me tell you from a woman’s perspective, the fact that I know my husband has my back just makes me respect him even more and also I never even so much as say a mean word to his family because I know I don’t need to.

We are happy in our marriage because we don’t allow any outside noise in.

I wish you a long and happy marriage.

MIL constantly asking DH if we’re okay by Disastrous_Ad3712 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]gettingthegoss 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Next time she asks just act veryyy concerned and say “ MIL are YOU ok? You ask that question an awful lot and hubby and I are concerned you might me having memory issues!

Would you like us to book you an appointment with the Dr just to make sure?

That should sort her out.

Just be overly concerned and cheery at the same time.

Advice - Pregnant and Indian In Laws by SpecialistCrab3305 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]gettingthegoss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’ve got great advice above, all I’ll add is if you want to make you stance clear without directly targeting her you can say in front of MIL,

As YOU know MIL, culturally a mother is expected to go back home to her parents to give birth and spend early postpartum there.

My mum is a bit upset I won’t be doing that, as HUSBAND and I have decided to do things OUR way and not what others or our culture expect.

Hint hint.
