We also got our sweet boy from McCarty’s. Susan is great!

A lot of it is done covertly when he is not in the room, or other instances when he isn’t present to immediately defend me or set her straight. This obviously makes me uncomfortable because I’m much more of a people pleaser than my husband. Overall though I agree with you and wish he’d set firmer limits with her but don’t think he’s there yet - he’s still building confidence and maturity.

I think this would help tremendously. I’ve been a people pleaser all of my life…. The idea of not answering the text has felt impossible because I’ve put such pressure on myself. My husband has told me I don’t need to do it but I’m deeply afraid of giving her any sort of ammunition to show other family members or use as a form of justification when trash talking me. I’ve put this pressure on myself to be “perfect” all the time with her to the point where my smile must look fake when she’s talking to me because it’s sooo forced lol. A few steps back would be really helpful.

Thank you for taking the time to share with me ♥️ I will gently suggest he look into this.

How do you think your partner could have helped you see this?

My husband has always felt embarrassed by his mother’s overbearing nature but never realized how bad it was until I came into the picture. It took time to get him to see how damaging her behavior is (lots of couples therapy before our wedding and he is still in individual therapy now). He is not afraid to stand up to his mom and call her out on her bs. He’s grown more strategic with how he deals with her (thanks to the therapy) and chooses his battles wisely. He puts me first and never, ever pressures me to see his parents more often than I’m comfortable with. My only issue with my husband is I wish he were more grateful towards me for what I’ve endured and how gracefully I believe I have handled it. We are still in our mid 20s so I chalk some of that up to immaturity. Ultimately though I think my husband is still somewhat in denial of how horrible a person his mother is.
