Anywho, in somewhat of a continuance of my last post ... there were two conversations with my Mom-in-Law when I had one that were uncomfy... and I'm going to tell you about them now.
Incident Number 1 -
The ex and I hadn't been married long. I was still "feeling like a new wife"... and by that I mean making sure that my hair and make up were done when he came in the door and that I had my apron on and that the house was clean and that I had dinner going... yes, I know that sounds absolutely fantastically bizarre if you only have known me on 'this side of Betty Ford'... Anywho, so I was on a "touching bases" phone call with the Mom-in-Law and she said - very sternly yet pleasantly, "If you have a few minutes, there's something that's troubling me that I'd like to mention to you so I'll have it off my chest..." I told her to please go right ahead and tell me anything that was bothering her and reassured her that if I'd done something specifically I would absolutely want to know about it.
She went on to discuss her feelings on the circumstances of our marriage...
