For many people, having a good relationship with their in-laws is essential, as they are a fundamental part of the life of the person they love. And although they try really hard to bond with them, sometimes it just doesn’t happen. This user’s story is the perfect example of why maybe living away from your in-laws isn’t such a bad idea after all.
My mom is not rude or anything like that, she has no interest in having any relationship with my wife. I make excuses to my mom because I know she’s tired. She’s had a hard life and doesn’t have much love left to give.
She is pure selfless and doesn’t like to worry about new people. She is a retired old lady who wants to sit quietly on the verandah and not have to talk to anyone. I have explained this to my wife and also told her the story of my mother.
My wife came home from work and brought potato salad. I didn’t let him take me to my mother’s house. Then she kept pestering my mom all night, insisting that they go shopping together. My wife kept talking when my mother told her to keep quiet for a while.
When I went to him my mother told me to take my wife away from him. This upset my wife, but I still took her with me because I knew my mother had very little patience left.
I told him that my mother would never love him, and that he had to stop behaving like this. His antics make my mom dislike him even more, so it’s better to leave him alone. My wife told me I was an idiot, and hasn’t spoken to me since.
