Back story is that my fiance’s mother is very religious and would not dream of divorcing her abusive husband. Therefore, from ages 13-18, my fiancé became his mother’s outlet for all her emotional problems. She wanted the male reassurance and support she didn’t receive from her husband, so she inappropriately shared extensive details about her marriage and personal life to my fiancé during his growing-up years.
Well, now, as my fiancé has learned to set boundaries, moved out of the parents’ house to live with me, etc, she has lost her emotional partner & now sees me as the “other woman.” I am a threat and she is jealous and petty.
Her act of niceness and care is good enough for my fiancé not to notice - he really, really wants to believe she’s a good person, to a fault - but I see through it. Her years of manipulation of my future husband are inexcusable in my mind - not even mentioning the fact that she neglected her two youngest children and left my then-teenage fiancé to raise them himself. Yet, my fiancé wants me to have a good relationship with her. What do I do?!?!?? How do I tell him that I think she is a foul person and I don’t want anything to do with her?
