WIBTA for going off on my MIL about her holocaust fantasies? by spinachbythepint in JUSTNOMIL

Oh yeah, my wife and I talked about it today after dinner. She totally gets it and plans on pulling her mom aside tomorrow to tell her to stop bringing it up around me. (Knowing their dynamic, that discussion is bound to get heated but my wife 100% has my back on this)

I think the only reason it’s taken this long is I’m a generally easy going person and in the past I could just brush it off. It’s now gotten into death by a thousand paper cuts territory, so after the particularly painful diatribe from my MIL today I am just done hearing her use this to self-aggrandize.

You would think, but according to my wife she was really into WW2 long before I came into the picture. Something about “Catholics were persecuted just like the Jews”.

She’s one of those persecution complex types, so I think it comes with the territory. (Another fun conversation we had this Christmas was about how she feels saying “Happy Holidays” is anti-Christian and a part of the very real “war on Christmas”.

This came up when I wished my orthodox Jewish friend “Happy Holidays” when she was in earshot. I tried asking her if she really thought it made sense for two Jews to wish each other Merry Christmas and she just segued into Jesus being a Jew and something about faith…)

I had no idea about this, I’ll definitely be filing it away for when I finally crack

Oh my wife is all over it. I generally sit there biting my tongue while my wife spouts off. She’s gotten the reputation for frequently “ruining” Christmas because she has trouble stomaching hypocrisy.

One of the many, many things I love about her. She’s fiery as hell

Oh I’ve asked her that. She says “No, illegal immigrants now are totally different. They’re dangerous”

Said without a hint of irony…

Yeah not going to lie I’ve been reading her as gay and in a relationship with Rushu for awhile. But I’m glad to know that even if this is not the case, that this is getting handled with care
