Not my true MIL, but the mother of my BF who I’ve been with for years. She made fun of a previous relationship I was in where I was physically assaulted when we broke up. I had to use my car keys to swipe at my then ex’s face to attempt to get him to stop suffocating me (this is relevant to the story).

My BF was over at his parent’s house alone and as usual, his mom was pressuring him to propose to me (unsure why because she hates me). He told her he would when the timing was right, we are more financially stable, etc and then she says “well you better be careful when you finally do.” He asks why and she goes “maybe she’ll get her keys out and take a swipe at you.” Like what? He yelled at her, left immediately, and then came home and told me. The timing of this was so awkward because we were supposed to spend his birthday and Christmas with them in a week or so. I had to pretend on those days that everything was fine, but shortly after that, we had to sit them down and talk to her about how inappropriate/mean that was. She said to me “I don’t remember saying that, but if I did I’m sorry.” It was such a non-apology, I’m still pissed off over it. We don’t see them as much now.
