A young newlywed learned that her mother-in-law has an issue with her when she overheard a rant on the phone.
It’s Time To Go
This young woman and her partner have decided the time has come to move home.
“I want to move house when we start a family. I can afford to. We don’t have room to have a baby right now, and our neighborhood is noisy and has a lot of crime.”
He Told His Mother – And It Didn’t Go Well
The husband casually told his mom the plans – only to receive a tirade about:
“A) I’m the most spoiled person she knows and of course I want something ‘grander’ B) I must want to move because I’m racist C) I’m so ‘severely emotionally damaged’ that I’m a lost cause, and that must be the reason I want to move(?)”
She’s A Narcissist
The woman explains how this insight is “narc logic” but that she’s surprised to find out her mother-in-law feels this way.
“Honestly, I’m beyond feeling sad or angry; I just feel numb right now. I thought we were in a good place, and this makes me realize she will never like me.”
She Shared Her Feelings Online
The woman headed to an online community to share her mother-in-law’s rant.
Here’s what the community had to say in response.
They Need To Know How The Husband Reacted
Users were curious to know what the woman’s husband had to say to his mother after this tirade.
“Having kids with this man hinges on what he said to defend his wife and future mother of his children.”
The Marriage May Be On The Rocks
Users expressed concern about whether this marriage will work if the husband doesn’t stand up for his wife.
“Anything other than a hard shut-down would have me rethinking kids with him and moving anyway. Especially if she is nearby!”
She Is Undeserving
Going no-contact with the mother-in-law may be required. One user said this:
“The people who deserve to have a place in your life would never say such hurtful things, but the person who’s supposed to have your back always (that whole, forsaking all others thing) should always defend you when your character is attacked. I’d be tempted to move to the other side of the world to put distance between me and that big bowl of toxicity.”
Ulterior Motives
There could be an underlying reason why the mother-in-law randomly lost her cool.
“She said all that because she knows she will have even less control once you move.” Another user agreed: “Bingo. It’s all about the access and the control.”
They Should Move As Far Away As Possible
Almost all users recommend the couple get away from the controlling MIL. One person said, “And for that, she doesn’t get to know your new address. No visits, no gift deliveries, no keys, no, no, no.”
They Should Keep Their New Address Private
The user emphasized that the address should be kept private in order to prevent the controlling MIL from scheming.
