Zolar Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Well, it took my MIL about 15 minutes or less this time to say it. Mind you, I was held at gunpoint a few months ago and lost the child I was carrying about around 6 months. Needless to say, you don't feel quite right after a thing like that - like your body isn't your own. Things just aren't the same. I barely eat, though and I'm still a size 3. I'm very weight conscious and usually I work out, but I've been so weak, so much blood loss - I nearly died. It's been about 4 monts since I lost her and nearly lost my life. I told DH, she's going to say something like that. "Oh, no. She won't say anything." And, then she did, right in front of me. He just said, "No," and we both ignored it. That's what I told him, when she said that kind of thing that I planned to just ignore it. This is the same woman who walked in on us having sex last year, who "joked" that she was going to take my baby; and who is always making comments on my weight - too fat, too thin - and the shape of my ass. Nice, huh! Merry Christmas to me. These jackasses are here, have taken over the house and I'm locked in one hot room again. At least, I'm not pregnant, anymore! :-(
quankanne Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 "I might be fat, but I can lose the weight. You, on the other hand, are a jackass/idiot/etc, and last I heard, there's no real cure for that." no, it's not going to win points with your SO ... maybe another tactic is to look her in the eye and say, "Okay ... and?" and make her realize she's showing her rear. because when people pull that kind of stunt they are trying to assert their superiority over another ... and it's always fun to fix their little bonnet, so to speak. meanwhile, my condolences on your loss ~ I can't even begin to imagine how this affects your Christmas, jackass relatives notwithstanding. hugs, quank
Author Zolar Posted December 25, 2008 Author Posted December 25, 2008 Quank, What you said really did help. I have tried, in the past, to keep in mind that they are not from here, that it's another culture, etc. But, the more this stuff piles up and the more predictable it becomes, the more I think she's just a bitch. I think he's learning, 'cause I'll say - blah, blah, blah is going to happen and then, shortly, it does... It's not always good to be right, though. But, I figure eventually he will see the light where some of his relatives are concerned. Last night, we went to a very pleasant dinner with his sis and they stayed with her. I hope they spend, at least, a few days there. So, we had a little bit of Christmas cheer last night. I'm hoping for more Christmas peace today. I hope you and everyone else here are having a really great holiday. Love, Zolar
quankanne Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 well, zo, sometimes it can be fun to try to out-mindfook someone ... at the very least, it provides amusement! glad to hear your SiL is providing a healing balm. XXX, q
carhill Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 MIL's whacked. Not 5150 whacked, but I see the signs. Smile, nod politely and hear nothing but "bla, bla, bla" IMO, DH needs to have a come to Jesus with his mother. Tolerance is tatamount to encouragement and it's his responsibility. If she's mentally ill, then she can get a pass, but, otherwise, no excuse....
Heroic Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 If my mother disrespected my wife.....DONE, let alone in front of me. Tell him to man up and grow a pair.
quankanne Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 ENEMA!!! :lmao: consider some fake ones you mean like the "neuticles" they sell for animals who've undergone the knife?
