I'm at a loss on what to do with this situation, DH tells me to not let it get to me and to not even speak to his mother anymore . .
About a week ago, DH and I were discussing his parents upcoming 50th Wedding Anniversary. Knowing they are not party type people and hate surprises and really don't have any friends, we thought it would be nice if we just had a small gathering (immediate family only) which is only her sister and her family and her other son and his family. Total people would of been 17 adults, 4 small children. We thought it would be great to take everyone to brunch at a restaurant near my in-laws house so they didn't have to travel far.
I called my MIL extremely excited about it and she basically freaked out and said NO, WE AREN'T HAVING ANYTHING, WE DON'T WANT IT, NO! and hung up on me . . .
Seriously??
DH asked "did she just hang up on you?" and I said YEP! I then called her back because I was extremely annoyed at being hung up on. She let the phone go to voice mail. I left a message "hi, it's me, you hung up on me, that wasn't really nice call me back"
About an hour later, she calls me, by now I'm not only pissed, I'm crying because I really felt hurt. She says in a very cold tone "I appreciate the offer, but we aren't doing anything, we don't want anything, we aren't going to be here that weekend, and we don't want it ANY other weekend either" Then again, hung up.
Needless to say, I haven't called her since. It's way too awkward for me. I didn't even do anything for her to be that rude and obnoxious to me.
DH and I will be married 25 years in October and we've been together for 30 years, my MIL NEVER was this obnoxious towards me . . .
It seems kind of silly to not speak anymore. DH says just let it be . . .I dunno what to do?
