That was my real issue, I don't think it has anything to do with the dog. My future MIL is a very manipulative woman, who is overbearing with all of her children. They also come from a very wealthy country-club type town. Whereas his sister married 'properly' I'm just a girl from the wrong side of the tracks. For the past five years I've been trying to please this woman and win her over. Nothing has worked! Also, you know, the day before he proposed, there was no word about not being able to bring Monster. Then, we're engaged, she's stuck with me, and it's "No dog." She's just insufferable. |

...she could never stop me from marrying him, just like she can't stop him from loving me and Monster. |

As much as my fiance's mother is nice to me I still dont feel "comfortable" around her. Ever since I got the Im not saying its you but speech. She said to me before Im not saying its you but.... (The big but) hes changed since hes been with you. Also right before I had my gastric pacemaker put in she actually asked me if I was really sick enough that I had to have this done. It hurt but I keep these feelings to myself. I dont know about you guys but I dont think I would have a foreign object that shocks my stomach inside me if I really didnt need it. |

Hi, I'm so sorry your going through this. Unfortunately, I know how in-laws can be a nightmare. I refer to my future mother-in-law as moster-in-law. The woman hates me and I've never done a darn thing to her. However, her son is amazing and treats me wonderful. I wish you all the luck with your future and hope things get better for you. ;) |
Closing Statements I hope everyone had a very good holiday! To those of you who were going through the same troubles, I am very sorry but thank you for comiserating, and thank you to all of you who gave me your input on how to handle the situation. We stayed home, the three of us, on Christmas Day. My fiance's mother was needless to say, quite miffed about it. However, when we called to wish everyone a Merry Christmas his sister and I had a long chat (I even cried) about the whole thing. She was VERY understanding and frustrated with her mother for being difficult for no good reason, and said that she is happy I'm marrying her brother. I understand where everyone who told me that I should go and why I should go was coming from and how not going because of a dog made me look a little nutty and as though I wasn't trying to be part of the family. Sooooo, I invited my future MIL (his father has already passed away) and my future SIL and her husband (and puppy) over for a big happy New Year's Day brunch. His sister accepted, but his mother graciously turned down the invitation because she has a bridge game. Anyway, I made my peace. HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! |
I'm so glad you and you future SIL talked. It sounds like your future MIL has some real issues. Some people like to control everything and everyone because they don't feel like they have any control of themselves. I wouldn't give up on her though, she was able to produce a wonderful son and I wouldn't let her ever forget how grateful I was for that. It's not easy producing great sons. May I say it sounds like your mother did a great job producing a wonderful daughter. Congratulations on your engagement and a Happy New Year to you! Nancy |
Think about this....if people know they can push you around or "push your button's" THEY WILL. It has taken me a lot of years to start to stand up for myself. I am glad to hear your fiance is backing you up. That says a lot about how much he loves you. Good luck. |
