Me and my fiance are to be married in June and my mother in law to be is an awful person. Everything started out great when we first got together, though. I had known her for 5 years since she was my hair dresser and I did not know that she had a son until we got together. For the first year we were together nothing seemed to have changed. She was being as nice as she always was.

I was working at an Olive garden at the time that I developed a rare esophageal disorder that caused me to not be able to eat. Needless to say I could not work anymore without passing out and my fiance urged me to quit my job, so I quit. That next week she is all on me about job offers and places where I could apply and I tried to explain to…

Hello,

My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years now. I am 23 and he is 27. We have been wanting to get married for a while now.

I am having some problems with the in-laws, like everyone it seems. I have visited his family for a total of three times thus far. For the whole three visits they treated me well, were very nice to me and wanted to get to know me. Not until the last visit did I really find out that his mother never really liked me in the first place. Which really upset me because I had no idea what I did wrong! And I hate it when people talk about you “behind your back”.
Well my boyfriend told me the reasons after he talked to her over the phone. And I was kind of surprised because the reasons to me were not very problematic.

My DH and I have been together 8 years, 3 of those years we have been married.When we first started dating, I had a 9 month old daughter form my previous relationship. I have literally bent over backwards to prove to my DH’s family that I want to be with him. We had been together about 3 months when his younger sister brought over old home movies for us to watch, unfortunately these old movies consisted of My DH and his ex GF making out in all of them. The same ex GF that lives with this sister, that had called my DH a few weeks before and tried to get him to get back together with her, while I was pregnant. The whole family refused to tell her I was pregnant because they did not want to hurt her. Then the sister tells me I am a big baby…

Hi,
My MIL is a control freak and does not like me.
My husband was married before and from what I understand my MIL indirectly caused
them to get divorced. My husband’s ex-wife wanted a child and my MIL told her son
it’s too early to have a child and his ex-wife secretly bought a second apartment
so they could afford to have a child considering they would get rent from the
second apartment and this would be a solution to my husband’s objection of not
having kids because of financial difficulties.
My husband got upset at his ex-wife (wife back then) for secretly buying a second
apartment and he secretly bought a brand new car on the advice of his mother.
His ex-wife got mad cause the new car was charged on their joint visa account and
she had to pay for the car because he was unemployed. They had huge arguments
and eventually got divorced.
My MIL tried everything to ruin…

I wrote a couple of days ago, and you ladies gave me great advice. Some of you asked if my FH defends me. Yes he does, however he has had enough of this too, even though its killing me, he is telling me not to let it bother me. But he does defend me. I wrote in about how my FMIL ignores me and her idol is my FBIL’s gf. Well the latest drama is, a few months back gf talked shit about me behind my back, and she says to me we are all entitled to our opinions, so I said ok in that case I think your fake. And OMG did that open a can of worms, she went crying and crying to FMIL and I got so much crap for it! So anyways on recently facebook, gf did one of those quizzes and in the end of…

My friend just sent this to me today, and I really loved it. I felt overwhelmed and a bit frusterated this morning and her email came at the right moment. I thought I would pass it along to the sisterhood:-) Have a great day ladies.

In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday.. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older.

And, there on television, she said it was “exciting”.

Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day…..like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first.

The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!

Maya Angelou said this:
“I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.”

“I’ve learned that you can…

So about a year ago, my husband and I moved in with my husband’s grandfather who is 94 years old. We moved in because he said that he needed help with cleaning, and he wanted to stop driving and we were ok with running errands for him and so on, and he started to fall sometimes at night. So we moved in, and everything was terrific for the first month or so and then he became a really mean old man. He never says anything but something that’s insulting towards us. He constantly calls my husband stupid (for little things, like vacuuming the stairs with the hose because the rollers on the vacuum doesn’t work that great, but it takes him forever but hey!! at least he’s vacuuming!!). He will not let us clean his room, or his bathroom, or his living room, or any room for that fact that…
