You are here

A bit off topic but basically everything is going to s**t

Hello all
As you may recall from the last blog partner mom is here from abroad and her effect is starting to cause all sorts of troubles

First partner and mother have started to make plans together behind my back and then expect me to go along with it - nope doesn't work that way so that caused a massive fight
Second his mother has an opinion on everything. Like EVERYTHING. You cannot have a conversation without her nose being stuck in. Now while this is annoying it has meant that she has told him she noticed kids are off with me and thinks they see me as an interloper. I have been saying this for the past year- but as soon as mommy says it boom! We totally now see it. So frustrating
Thirdly as a result of this annoyance it is spilling over into the rest of our lives. Every morning we get up earlier to havevtea and coffee together in bed - this can be the only time we get together on long days. I asked him twice nicely to put away the phone and then I lost my sh**e over it. His excuse: he is trying to sell a used car for his family and he had to JUST HAD TO put the message up then ! During the whole 45 mins he will see me today

I really can't take much more of this. I can't take the fighting and our lives dissolving into chaos while his parents are here. All the promises he made before they arrived are broken

I have given so many chances but with how sad I feel right now well I think I could be done

That's bullcrap. He needs to spend that 45 minutes on you and be thankful you allow his mother to stay. How long is she here for?

Having outside family around can really mess with your usual dynamics. When does she leave? I would just try and do your best to avoid her and get through the remaining time of her visit.

She leaves in march! It's so so far away
More and more I am staying late at work or visiting my own family an hour away
He notices the distance and whines about it then does this
It's 45 mins - like do you really care that little

hahahahaha..... sorry I'm not suppose to laugh, but you knew this would happen, you talked to DH about it and you knew he was not going to keep his word...... I hope you stick to your decisions in the future Hon.

Now, let MIL be, cry on her shoulder, you know how to ... she already sees the evil skids towards you..... catch her eye when they piss you off and look sad, MIL will handle it. It's only a month and a half to go, why not sit back and enjoy MIL taking over, dang lady if you can't win them join them, let MIL be the boss in the house , you check out and have a holiday...

keep on visiting your family and friends and tell MIL how much you enjoy her being there,some one who can help you a bit and who sees what's going on... Wink

Use MIL's presence to your advantage and not as a black hole you dislike, now for DH busy on his phone.... why not do the same? When he wants to get frisky turn over and grab your phone, say sorry I have this friend on Mars with a problem, I need to help her quickly... If he wants to talk to you... same thing... do exactly what he does with the phone,

We have this weekly thing we do, SO and I, but I started to feel what the hell am I doing at the house, yes we still do not live together, thus if I go over for BBQ, why should he spend the whole time on the phone with his friends and daughter, I'm sitting there like an idiot, thus I've started doing the same, walk in, sit down, grab my phone and ignore him, after the 3rd time he started switching his phone off during our weekly bbq evening...
