Dh's mom lives with us. Last week she was talking on the phone to someone. We don't know who. She was talking all about her kids. She just went on and on about dh. The one thing I noticed while she was talking. Not once did she mentioned that he just got married in April. She just kept on talking like he is single. Dh's mother is Catholic. Every year she has the priest come by and bless the home. The priest always writes above the door in chalk G,M,B and the year. Which stands for God, Martha(dh's mom) and Bill. You are supposed to bless the house and everyone that lives there also. On Friday the priest came to bless the house. When I looked at the writting it only had G,M,B (God, Martha, Bill) and the year. She didn't have the priest put my name up there. I said something to dh about how it seems like your mom doesn't realize you are married and I live her now too. He just blew me off.

Thank you for listening. I just needed to get this off of my chest.

Hugs! I'm sorry that it seems like that. Have you sat down and tried telling DH that it hurts when she acts like that? Some times men just don't see it until you point it out.

Yeah, that would piss me off. I think talking to the husband and the mother, not necessarily together would be a good idea. Keep talking until they listen.

[onedaysoon]

I would be pretty mad too.

Like Shortcake said, men can be pretty thick skulled, you may have to really point it out to him.

Sometime you have to spell things out for men, I would seat down and talk to Dh, explain that it hurts that she's living in your home and she doesn't acknowledge that you live there and that you are married ti her son.

I agree- men can have seriously thick skulls.
And I'd be pissed to, not about the blessing per se, but her not recognizing you.

For him to blow it off like that is just wrong. I might be crazy, but I would have probably gone into full blown rage if I am telling my hubby something that hurts me and he just blows it off. Then again, I probably am crazy so do not do that.

Don't let him blow you off like that though. Make sure he knows that it hurts when she does that.

Plus you are a better woman than me. I would never let anyone, even a MIL treat me like that in my own house. She would have been gone a long time ago.

OUCH... Super painful. I am so sorry honey. (((Hugs)))

[MeganMomof5]

ugh i'm sorry that's happening I don't know what to tell you except to talk it out with him...It's got to be hard living with a MIL, but then have her pretend you don't live there, or are married, that just makes it so much worse...I hope you all get it worked out.

Just lurking, but wanted to tell you that the blessing over the door is not her and dh's initials.... See link below. Just hoping to make you feel a little bit better but it still SUX that she is acting as if DH is not married... Sorry you are dealing with that.

Good info!

Thanks Ladies. It seems like everytime we have a agruement it is because of his mom. His mom was the one that told me it stood for God, Martha and Bill. I guess she will always have to have the last word.
