Hello ladies I've been with my fiance for by this year 2020 for 4 years this June I live with parents till I can finish college and last summer me and my fiance had a rough patch basically I had moved out of the apartment I was living with my fiance and his roommates. 4 months later things have dramatically improved with between us and we decided to move our wedding to Sept 24, 2022. When me and fiance had our rough patch last summer after my birthday I was honest with his mom we were going through issues and basically I thought she would be sympathetic about it and to see is with a neutral set of eyes. Unfortunately my future mother in law got really upset at me basically thinking i hurt my fiance by the issues we were having. But its been close to almost half a year and basically my fiance was on a work trip this weekend and he was going to skype me last night but got back to his hotel so late and basically my future mother in law asked about me but he said he couldnt skype while he was at his moms because shes still needs time and stepdad even his sister and brother where there.

I told him honestly that I understand that she wants time with him but basically she doesnt live in the same state as we do and basically when goes to work trips if hes in her area he go and visit but every time hes gets back he gets back so late I told him that I asked him what he will do about it and he said that when we have kids and if she talks to our kids but not me he said he would make sure she says hi to me and she will have to get over me marrying him he said. Ive been with my fiance for 4 years this year and every year my future mother in law never says happy birthday to me on my birthday. My fiance says he needs to talk about the way shes treating me because its been 4 months and she still wont talk to me directly unless I contact her and basically my fiance she needs to get over last summer and forgive me and move on . I even apologized and said I was sorry about everything that happened last summer. How I can deal with this and talk to my fiance its a real issue about the way shes treating me ? I feel like shes going to hang it over my head for the remainder of our engagement and throughout our marriage. She at first liked me but when I opened up to her that we were going through issues she immediately wont talk me and I feel like cuts me off. Sorry for the long post but I am disappointed that she is treating me this way.

    Hey ladies well i just talked to my fiance about this and basically i found she had asked him while he was visiting her last night asking if he had found anyone else and basically he said and he said felt pretty insulted she said that. My fiance told her that shes going to have to get over it because I will be apart of the family and even my fiances stepdad said the same thing. But basically he said we talk more about this when hes on the way home from his work trip tonight. Thankfully I got this off my chest and basically he agrees with me about it that he already told her shes going to have to get over it. The biggest he said is she needs to stop holding grudges. But thankfully I was able to talk to him about it a little today.

    So sorry for what you are going though sometimes these things can happen with Mother In Laws. I was never really close with my Mother in law before my husband and I got married but we always got long pretty well. After My husband I got married I noticed a change in her behavior and she is showing Narcissistic tendencies. She decided to have surgery before Christmas and declined to do in patient care and expects my Husband to be at her every beck and call. She purposely spills things on the floor and demands that my husband come over immediately she even fell on purpose right in front of my sister in law so she could gain sympathy from her and my brother in law. She made a comment to me recently saying that she enjoys her sons company, I hope my son being over here all the time isn't effecting your marriage and smirked about it. She craves attention weather it's positive or negative she doesn't care as long as she gets attention. My husband and I were going out to dinner and have reservation and she purposely tried to keep us other there and make us late. She has become very toxic and this is not even the half of it.

    Thank you for understanding. It's been very hard at times because she won't even contact me directly she told my fiance to pass on a message from her about the way I text her saying that I can't text just one sentence at a time that I've got to text all of my message in one single text message. I understand that feelings were hurt but honestly it's been hard because the fact is that we've gotten past that it's been 4 months now and basically things are a lot better between me and my fiance and she will always see my fiance being the perfect son and me being this terrible person probably. I hope that things get better between me and her but if they don't I just want to focus on my future husband and our future marriage and not have to worry about what she thinks because at the end of the day I feel like you should respect your in-laws but it's not like you're marrying your in-laws you're marrying your husband or wife. I'm so sorry that you are going through that I hope my future mother-in-law won't be the same way when we're older and we're married it's been difficult but thankfully she doesn't live in the same state as us so I don't think my fiance will want us to move there for a while I really want to stay here where most of my friends and family are at and he has friends and family here too so I don't think we want to move to the state that she lives in.

    You’re welcome. I know it’s really hard hard probably because you’re already married to your husband and it’s not easy dealing with a mother-in-law like that at least the biggest thing is that my future mother-in-law at least acknowledges me I guess in someway but my own mother doesn’t really care for my fiancé either so it kind of makes things difficult. But basically I am just hoping that your situation gets better and that basically you were able to have a easier relationship between you and your husband and things get better with your mother-in-law.
