Anyone else just tired
Anyone else just legitimately tired? I feel like I get along with most people and a lot of different personalities, but my MIL (and his other two siblings) are something else.
I posted before about my MIL, regarding Christmas and our wedding. Without going through the details, she asked for an expensive gift from me/my husband and gave me something cheap in return ($400 gift for MIL, $20 gift for me). She invited people to our wedding last minute without asking and then cried to everyone and played victim when I told her that wasn’t a cool thing to do. And then the whole wedding in general was weird around his family because of those two events.
We argued this past Christmas about seeing his family since I told him after the wedding I planned to be no contact. I did stay home (he went down there to celebrate with them the weekend before the holiday) and I stayed home with our dog.
He was going down to see his family last weekend since he was playing in a golf tournament with his dad. I took that opportunity to bring up to him that I do not want to continually have this argument every year at the holidays. He agreed that he also didn’t want to argue every year. He said he was fine with me not liking or wanting to see his siblings, but he wanted me and his mom to get along.
I reminded him that when we argued at Christmas, I said all I ever needed was for my feelings to be addressed, if she felt/feels as bad about things as he says (he says she feels bad that we aren’t cool and how she made me feel two Christmas’ ago). So he said he would talk to her and tell her what we discussed and if she could just text an apology. Not even a verbal apology, just text.
It’s been a week and nothing. I don’t want to ask him what happened and seem like I’m on his ass, but I can just feel the next argument looming because this year is flying and holidays will be here again before we know it.
Do I just give up and accept that it’s no contact forever or that I’m just going to have to swallow my feelings and being hurt.
