Question for the guys (and ladies input too!!)

If your wife did not get along with your mother AT ALL...what would you do?

What if you didn't have a good relationship with your mother, and now she HATES your wife...how would you handle it?

What if after years of them not getting along...your wife tells you to choose?...what would you do then??

I never got along with my mother in law. She was always pushin a bible down our throats and my exes brothre was the little Angel in her eyes, when little did she know he was trying to get in my pants the whole time! She dislikes me for situations that I went through with her son, when she had previously suffered the same from his father. Ridiculous.

My ex-mother-in-law hated me from day one. When we couldn't start a family even after 10 years she told me "God doesn't think you're fit to be a mother, so stop trying." When I did get pregnant she wouldn't come to the baby shower because, as she told everyone who would listen to her, she was sure I would miscarry anyway. blues I have 3 beautiful kids and she has barely acknowledged them over the years.

I put her on my "Useless People" list.

For the past 30 years he, his brother, and his sister have all shrugged their shoulders and said that's just how she is. Last I heard she's suing all 3 of them for more money because my father-in-law's will left her a reasonable monthly allowance and she isn't happy. She'll live to be 105 just to piss everybody off.

To be honest i never had this problem...i loved my mother in law very much right up until the day she died...and still miss her presence in my life and in that of my girls...so my "ex" never had this problem...

Was just curious how a man would really handle this situation...

Our relationship was so twisted, lol. She would go to her mom because she couldn't deal with me. Then she would come to me because she couldn't deal with her mom. She said you two are pulling me apart. I am so proud of my ex now. She has a nice job, a nice car and is doing great. She is coping with the ulcer that her mom and I gave her. Her mom told me before we got married that I would have to put my foot down with her daughter to show her who is boss. The she would come over to our house and show us that she was boss at our house, too. She said I was the son she never had. I keep going to my meetings. One day at a time. Maybe in some twilight zone episode it might have made sense. rolling on the floor laughing

Some people's ignorance is beyond me.

All of us deserve recognition and speaking of, especially children.

That action on her behalf totally blows me away....

Ursilla, to answer your question, I would ask my wife to try to find something postive about my mother, for the family's peace, and try to overlook the negative.

If I didn't have a good relationship with my mother, and she hated my wife, I don't suspect it would bother me in the least. However, I love my mother very much, and she loves me.

If my wife ever told me to choose, be it between my mother or my father, or my sister, or brother, I'd refuse to. I don't allow others to make those kinds of decisions for me. If I stop all communication and contact with any of MY family, it will be for the good of my family, and that family consists of me, my wife, my kids, my parents, and my brothers and sisters. Even to some degree, it may include my cousins, aunts, and uncles. My wife's needs must be balanced between those of the family. It can be a fine line to walk, but I have found it necessary to be the peacemaker more than once, and it worked out.
