My insane mother in law started walking around
My insane mother in law started walking around the house naked after seeing me and my husband having sex in the shower.
Hi everyone. I got alot of comments I think from some of you from my relationships post as night and was invited over here to share my story with all of you.
Here's the text from last night:
I am at my wits end. I'm seriously on the verge of leaving my own house if things don't get better, and I really just can't take much more.
My husband and I have been married for a year, dated for eight.
Part of the reason it took us so long to get married, I think, is because of his mother.
She pretends to like me and treat me decently infront of him, but you know when someone is just pretending to be nice? Yeah, that's her. My husband has seen her true colors since we first started dating but about six months into our marriage we were able to be civil and cordial to eachother. Recently his mom had a surgery that requires a longer term physical therapy. After crying and moaning over "just not being able to manage" my husband finally invited her to live with us temporarily (without consulting me first!!). Of course she's over the moon and has decidedly made our home her home. She's messy to a fault then blames me for it, clingy with my husband, barges into our room without knocking first, interrupts conversations, and so on. It's GRATING.
The shit has now hit the proverbial fan. My mother in law was supposed to be out to dinner with a friend of hers and so the hubs and I decided to have some much needed alone time, seeing as we hadn't has much since his mother has intruded on our lives. To spare you the squishier details, we were having sex in the shower when his mother who was supposed to be out, burst through the door and let out this earsplitting scream loud enough to shatter glass. Of course we immediately stopped, but she kept screaming, eventually throwing towels at us to "COVER UP" and that we were "INDECENT IN A CHRISTIAN HOME". She LITERALLY stood there and watched us wrap the towels around ourselves before she flounced out of the bathroom in fake sobs.
I was mortified and apologized right away and said I was sorry for having to see what she saw, but we hadn't expected her home. She put on her faux nice act and said that all was fine, and that she had grossly overreacted to the situation. All good.
Yesterday I came home, and discovered her topless in my living room. I was really thrown for a loop and asked her what the HELL she was doing, and she told me that seeing us the other day made her realize that nudity was natural, and that she used to be naked around her kids back in the day. I asked her to please cover up, and she told me she wasn't offended by my nudity that she witnessed and that her state couldn't bother me either. My husband is pretending that nothing is wrong, saying that his mom will change tactics and let it go once she sees it isn't getting a reaction, but now she is going out of her way to be affectionate with him and myself with unnecessary hugs and touching and what not, and literally flaunting herself. We feel like we're prisoners in our own home and stay confined to the bedroom with the door locked to avoid seeing her.
Everytime I see her now, I feel sick with rage and she just smirks while commenting on how "free" she feels without her clothing. I've told my husband time and time again TO DEAL WITH THE SITUATION but he says to ignore it and it'll go away. I'm on the verge of throwing all of her shit straight onto the lawn. I'm at the end of my rope.
In somewhat of an update, I exploded on my husband last night. Crying, shouting, the full ugly meltdown (wine may have been a contributor to this).
The clincher? I left the room to go put my laundry in the dryer, when I saw my mother in law naked...using her "injured arm" to rummage through our pantry for food. She's been faking being barely able to use that arm.
The gauntlet has been thrown.
It is me or her. My husband has sworn that he loves me
and that MIL will be out of the house within the next couple days,
as soon as he can make other arrangements for her. In the meantime I have packed a bag and left for my sister's. I refused to look at my mother in law or otherwise acknowledge her existence as I left, despite her persistent and gleeful questions about where I was going, despite seeing my bag.
Ugh. I knew she was crazy. I did not know crazy reached these depths. :\ I feel uncertain, anxious, and just so upset. I hate her. And I resent my husband for bringing into our lives like this.
