Follow her advice, it is spot on, I am talking from experience, be polite but distant, best advice ever. Controlling Mothers in law never change.

Marie, you are wonderful! I'm having this exact issue with my father in law. Polite but distant is the best way to be. In my experience, the more religious someone is, the more intolerable they are of everyone else.

Polite and distant. Thank you for the advice!

There was a time I used to care about pleasing my husbands mother and making an effort, for the sake of my children. She is kind to my children. But ten years in of marriage, I cut all communication with that lady and stopped sending her pictures and reaching out. She can develop her flimsy relationship with my husband.and she can also rely on him to form a relationship to our children. I’m good and happy ever since I stopped caring and just focused on being happy.

My MIL is horrible. She talks all nice at church and in front of people, but when we are alone she tells me she doesn't like me and that she wished I wasn't her DIL. She also told me once she wished her son was still married to the ex wife, who was cheating on him! Now, she has invited herself to sing in the church choir, because I sing in the church choir and she is trying to nose into my relationships with people at church. All because I'm meeting new people, having fun, and people really care about me.

My MIL problem is slightly different, but the same advice likely would apply. My MIL wants to be close to me, but she’s a rude, overbearing, and arrogant person, so I keep my distance. She has always liked me, and it bothers her that I won’t be extremely close with her.

To be close to her means to suck up to her, to smile and nod as she talks down to you, to make her feel like she’s the smartest person and you’re way beneath her, etc.

It also means accepting incredibly rude comments from her the times you don’t completely subordinate yourself (or if she somehow feels slighted or that you’re a threat to her authority).

She began acting up shortly before the wedding with competitive, know-it-all comments, and it got really bad immediately after the wedding. The day after the wedding, she rudely scolded me for not properly greeting her at the wedding. Other rude comments followed in the subsequent months. My husband doesn’t understand why I can’t look past and forgive her behavior - she wants badly to be close to me, and he wants that, too.

BTW she acts like this toward everyone. It isn’t personal to me. She snaps at people and gets in arguments routinely. She also believes she is much, much smarter than she really is.

What do you do when you had a talk with a fiends about how you felt and the herd you out. Yet they still seem to not show that they understand what you did.

I’m friends with him and we would interact like friends. But when another person joins in he loses all focus and goes with the other friend that I’m not friends with and he knows that ! In summary he leaves me for a friend who he knows I don’t like and I don’t know what to tell him since I already talked to him. Please help. Should I drop the friendship ? After 6yrs
